The Colonial Room

A Taste Of Our Victorian Past

The Victorian-era Colonial Room Restaurant continues the culinary tradition established in 1859 by head chef Mary Menger, wife to William Menger. Here, the cuisine pays homage to the past, early jazz and ragtime play in the background, and romantic lighting sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience.

Yum!!

There is a buffet breakfast during the week & buffet brunch on the weekend. The food is delicious and plentiful with lots of choices. The dining room is elegant, and the service is impeccable.

Sunday Brunch: Wow!

This restaurant is a little gem. Set up buffet style, they have an omelette and waffle bar, freshly cut meats cooked to perfection, fresh steamed vegetables, desserts, and so much more! The food is exquisite.

Elegant Victorian Dining Room

Elegant brunch, superior service, and their chocolate mousse was the best I’ve ever had! Excellent omelettes made to order, a carving station, a huge selection of seafood items, and a wonderful bread pudding with rum sauce. The servers were helpful and attentive. Keep up the great job!

Wonderful experience

We stayed at the Menger for a romantic weekend getaway and the Colonial Room was a great experience. We were there for the Sunday Brunch and enjoyed a variety of breakfast items. The servers were attentive, and our coffee cups were never empty. Do not pass up the chocolate cake!

Elegant Restaurant In Historic Menger Hotel

Located in the Historic Menger Hotel near the Alamo, this elegant restaurant offers very reasonable lunch prices and attentive service. I had a 1/2 chicken salad sandwich with a cup of their signature tortilla soup. For dessert, I ordered the chocolate cake with their famous mango ice cream. Delicious!
