Lantana Steak House in Texas
- Lantana Grill & Bar offers breakfast, lunch, dinner and all-day menus. Although the resort has several restaurants and poolside bars, the Lantana "trans-Pecos" fare is popular with resort-goers. The dress code is "resort casual wear, including Bermuda shorts and sport shirts," according to the resort. Management asks that tank tops, bathing suits, beach flip flops or cutoffs be left in the hotel room.
- Lantana features a variety of breakfast options, including two daily buffets, Southwestern favorites like huevos rancheros, smoked salmon bagels and a Cajun breakfast of Boudin and Andouille sausages served with two eggs and hash browns, grits or fresh fruit. Breakfast prices in 2010 range from $3 for a breakfast taco with black beans to $17.95 for an All-American buffet complete with oatmeal, fresh berries, pastries and breakfast meats.
- Lunch at Lantana includes appetizers such as watermelon-glazed baby back ribs, venison wild game chili, a steak sandwich--that includes roasted mushrooms, Humboldt Fog cheese and onion rings--so big you need a knife and fork to eat it, a BLT made with salmon and a burger made with Wagyu beef. Dessert offerings include white chocolate bread pudding and a candy bar crème brulee. Prices range from $4.50 for a cup of tortilla soup to $14 for the Wagyu burger or a niçoise salad that includes grilled yellowfin tuna, asparagus, mixed olives, fingerling potatoes and green chile vinaigrette.
- Watermelon-glazed baby back ribs, as well as Mexican grilled shrimp cocktail, lead the all-day menu. Other options include Cuban pulled pork, mesquite-smoked shaved turkey breast and smoked chopped brisket sandwiches. Prices on the all-day menu range from $4.50 for a cup of tortilla soup to $12 for the baby back ribs.
- The Lantana dinner menu includes rattlesnake and rabbit sausage, ancho BBQ grilled shrimp, lobster tail and pork chops. But the real stars are the dinner steaks that include a Wagyu top sirloin from Briggs Ranch in Rice. The cattle are raised without antibiotics or hormones and the stock is 100 percent vegetarian fed, according to Briggs Ranch. Lantana also serves Angus beef filets and a 40-day-dry-aged Angus strip steak. If you prefer your beef chicken-fried, however, Lantana offers a 10-ounce chicken-fried ribeye. Dinner prices range from $9 for poblano and corn chowder to $36 for lobster tail or an 8-ounce bacon-wrapped Angus filet cooked with Veldhuizen Farms cheese, chives, roasted mushrooms, Hatch green chiles and bacon potato skins.
