Corinne San Antonio Menu
An all-day American restaurant inside the Plaza San Antonio Hotel & Spa, where executive chef Joseph Krauss plates uncomplicated food with a clear South Texas and Gulf Coast accent — from a 6:30 a.m. breakfast to an 11 p.m. dinner, plus the restaurant’s signature 4-5-6-7 Happy Hour.
One address, six different restaurants
Most San Antonio menus you look up are a single service — a dinner list, maybe a brunch. Corinne is unusual because it runs almost the entire day. The kitchen opens for breakfast at 6:30 a.m. on weekdays, rolls into a long weekend brunch, does a tight weekday lunch, opens the bar for its 4-5-6-7 Happy Hour in the afternoon, and finishes with dinner as late as 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Knowing which service you’re walking into changes what’s on the table more than anything else.
The food is described by the restaurant as “uncomplicated, prepared simply” — classic American cooking pulled toward the Gulf and South Texas. In practice that means Gulf fish and shellfish alongside Texas beef and pork, a house Navajo fry bread that turns up in review after review, and a green pozole that reads more Hill Country than Midwestern diner. Chef Joseph Krauss has led the kitchen since the restaurant opened, and Corinne has earned a Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice award for consistently strong guest reviews.
Corinne sits inside the Plaza San Antonio Hotel & Spa, an Autograph Collection property — the city’s only hotel in Marriott’s Autograph Collection, set on a historic four-and-a-half-acre garden campus at the seam of Southtown and downtown, steps from Hemisfair and La Villita. That location matters for two reasons: parking and pace are hotel-easy, and Corinne is one of several venues in the property’s dining collection, so it works equally well for a quiet breakfast meeting or a celebratory dinner.
Six services, one kitchen
Corinne changes character through the day. Here is what each service is, when it runs, and what it tends to be best for. Hours are from Corinne’s official site and can shift on holidays — call ahead for special dates.
Breakfast
An early, unhurried weekday breakfast — handy if you’re staying at the hotel or want a downtown morning meeting before the workday starts.
Brunch
The weekend headliner and, for many guests, Corinne’s best window. A long runway of hours means you can arrive early or roll in mid-afternoon.
Lunch
A focused midday service aimed at downtown lunches and hotel guests. Tighter than dinner, quick enough for a working meal.
4-5-6-7 Happy Hour
Corinne’s named happy hour and one of its signatures. Come for the cocktail and mocktail program — the watermelon margarita is a regular order — and bar bites in the afternoon lull.
Dinner
The full plates come out at night: Gulf fish, short rib, the Texas Oscar, and Rosewood Ranches wagyu ribeye. The service to book a table for.
Dessert & Bar
Save room. The peanut butter pie — Oreo crust, chocolate ganache — is the dessert regulars name first, and the bar keeps going after the kitchen winds down.
Which Corinne are you here for?
Corinne serves six different ways. Pick the reason you’re going and you’ll get the right service, its exact hours, and a few dishes worth ordering. Built from Corinne’s own daypart menus — no guessing.
Corinne opens early on weekdays, which makes it a rare downtown spot for a real sit-down breakfast before 8. It’s unhurried and comfortable — good for a hotel morning or a quiet meeting over coffee before the brunch and lunch crowds arrive.
This is the visit most people mean when they talk about Corinne. The weekend brunch runs a full eight hours, so you can beat the rush early or ease in mid-afternoon. Lead with the Navajo fry bread to share, and the bar’s watermelon margarita is a brunch regular.
A tighter weekday service built for downtown lunches and hotel guests. It moves faster than dinner, so it works for a midday meeting without eating your whole afternoon. Reservations aren’t usually essential, but they help on busy conference days.
Corinne’s named happy hour is the afternoon move. It leans on the cocktail and mocktail program — the “Signature in Old San Antonio” and watermelon margarita show up often — plus bar bites. A relaxed way to try the room before committing to a full dinner.
Dinner is where the kitchen shows its full range. Build around a Gulf plate — the kampachi filet or a fish of the day — or go for beef with the braised short rib, the Texas Oscar, or the Rosewood Ranches wagyu ribeye. It’s the service most worth a reservation, especially on weekends.
You don’t have to commit to a full meal. The peanut butter pie — Oreo crust, chocolate ganache — is the dessert regulars call out by name, and it pairs neatly with a nightcap at the bar after the dinner rush eases.
Signature plates at Corinne
These are the dishes named most often in Corinne’s own coverage and in guest reviews. Availability shifts with the season and the daypart — the full current list is below.
Navajo Fry Bread
The dish reviewers mention more than any other — a warm, pillowy fry bread that’s become Corinne’s calling-card starter. A near-automatic first order, especially at brunch.
Kampachi Filet
Corinne’s Gulf-and-coastal side shows clearest in its fish. The kampachi filet, plated with crispy sunchoke, is one of the restaurant’s named signatures; a redfish filet with corn purée and succotash rounds out the seafood plates.
Braised Prime Short Rib
Slow-braised short rib with carrot purée and mushrooms — the comfort-leaning end of the menu and a repeat favorite in dinner reviews alongside the fry bread.
Longbone Pork Ribeye
A hearty, grill-forward cut with charred corn and hominy — South Texas on a plate. For beef, the Texas Oscar and the Rosewood Ranches wagyu ribeye are the two dinner picks editors reach for.
A restaurant inside a garden hotel
Corinne opened as the flagship restaurant of the Plaza San Antonio Hotel & Spa, a property redeveloped by White Lodging and brought into Marriott’s Autograph Collection — the only Autograph Collection hotel in San Antonio. The hotel wraps a historic four-and-a-half-acre campus of gardens and low buildings, which is unusual for a downtown-adjacent property and gives the whole complex a calmer, resort-like feel than its address suggests.
The restaurant is one piece of the hotel’s dining collection, which also includes the Anaqua Garden Bar, the Tenfold rooftop, Dean’s Steak & Seafood, and The Study. If you’re planning a longer evening, that cluster means you can start with a cocktail in the garden and move to dinner without leaving the block — convenient for out-of-town guests and for celebrations that outgrow a single table.
Chef Joseph Krauss built Corinne’s menu around the idea that the basics don’t have to be basic: cut through the complication, source locally, and let Gulf seafood and Texas beef and pork carry the plate. It’s a deliberately broad, feel-good menu rather than a tasting-menu exercise — which is exactly why the restaurant can run from a weekday breakfast through a Friday-night dinner and still feel like one place.
