Editorial Review for Old Pecan Street Cafe – by Rebecca Chastenet de Gery
In Short
Lunches at the historical, turn-of-the-century location, which previously housed a hardware store, draw the downtown business crowd, while dinner pulls in well-heeled diners seeking a sophisticated, fine-dining experience in a hushed, unhurried atmosphere. Specials include thick char-broiled Texas steaks as well as several stuffed chicken dishes. The restaurant's extensive wine list has won accolades from many a connoisseur, and the aromatic in-house bakery turns out warm breads and luscious pastries on order.

Old Pecan Cafe leads me there by name alone, and captivating aromatic blends of baked goods and coffee drew me in just passing by. When it's time for dining, down-to-earth comfort nestled between old world charm, and but of course palatable options for a dream come true. Their crepes a savory delight with warm banana filing, just a trace of rum with almonds, not pecans, sprinkled just so, and wouldn't a thick gooey chocolate sauce scribbled across it all really complete the divine experience? Overall, stimulating flavors and surprising appetizers (any shrimp would be proud wearing this seasoning) all with little fanfare just good eating.
Pros: old world charm, huge variety of tasty dishes, not a buttoned-up affair and friendly
Cons: perhaps a bit older decor and a little less 70's

Great food, service and atmosphere. Charming old interior - perfect place to bring visitors although I will be going there a lot myself in between visits.
