Why We Recommend Cabernet Grill

The wine list: One of the finest collections of Texas wines anywhere, plus exceptional bottles from around the world. Many of the Texas wines they pour are the same ones featured in our chocolate tastings.

Chef Ross Burtwell: Innovation meets technique. Every dish reflects his commitment to quality and his constant search for new flavors and methods.

The setting: Located at Cotton Gin Village, the restaurant is surrounded by koi ponds, gardens, and romantic cabins—a destination unto itself.

The Gin Mill: Can't get a reservation? Grab a craft cocktail at their adjacent bar while you wait for a table.
