Stout's at the Shore — modern New American bistro in North Town Center
Cinnamon Shore's upscale dinner anchor in North Town Center — Jason Stout's modern New American bistro: green marbled bar, mirrored bistro wall, Tristan Filet, Red Drum Risotto, Lobster Ravioli. Dinner only; reservations accepted.
Stout's at the Shore is the Gulf-coast outpost of San Antonio restaurateur Jason Stout's bistro group — the brand that started with Stout's Pizza Co. in 2011 and later launched Stout's Trattoria in the Texas Wine Country and Stout's Signature at the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts. At Cinnamon Shore it leans modern New American bistro, set in a dining room designed by Paige Schnell of Tracery Interiors, sitting right in the North Town Center off the Great Lawn.
The concept
Stout's at the Shore is San Antonio restaurateur Jason Stout's pivot to the Texas Gulf Coast — a sophisticated modern New American bistro for Cinnamon Shore. The dining room is designed by Paige Schnell of Tracery Interiors: a green marbled bar top, green tile accents, patterned wallpaper, and a mirrored bistro wall give it polished city energy on the coast.
The menu is built to bridge land and sea — fresh Gulf seafood alongside premium steaks and Wagyu beef, paired with a craft cocktail program and a serious wine list.
What Stout's does well
- Gorgeous upscale interior — stands out visually from standard beach joints.
- Balanced land-and-sea menu — Gulf seafood plus premium steaks and Wagyu, ideal for mixed-taste parties.
- Excellent craft cocktails and a deep wine list.
- Accepts reservations — book in advance and skip the dreaded two-hour walk-up waits in Old Town.
- Central resort convenience — effortless walk or golf-cart ride from anywhere in Cinnamon Shore.
What to keep in mind
- Premium luxury resort pricing — easily one of the more expensive dinners in the area.
- Dinner only, 5:00 PM–9:00 PM Sun–Thu and 5:00 PM–10:00 PM Fri–Sat. Not a lunch or post-beach option.
- Vibe leans formal for the area — bistro setting feels more structured than the unfiltered "feet in the sand" shacks.
- Town Center event congestion — summer weekends with movie nights or live outdoor concerts on the Great Lawn make parking tight.
What to order
- The Tristan Filet — the house standout for meat lovers: an exceptionally tender 6 oz Wagyu beef tenderloin.
- Red Drum Risotto — a coastal twist: a perfectly seasoned, juicy fillet of local Gulf redfish over creamy coastal-style risotto.
- The Signature Meatball — excellent savory starter to share: veal, pork, and beef simmered in a rich, velvety house marinara.
- Oysters Rockefeller — classic, executed with meticulous care, baked with a rich herbed topping.
- Lobster Ravioli — indulgent, rich pasta entrée, a recurring favorite for luxury comfort.
- Lemon Cream Shrimp — bright, buttery seafood with a clean citrus punch.
