Chef Leo Davila is closing his Top 25 Mexican restaurant to lead an unnamed concept at the St. Anthony hotel.
When rising San Antonio chef Leo Davila announced last week that he’s closing his Top 25 Mexican restaurant Stixs & Stone this Saturday, he hinted at something big on the horizon. Now we know that next big thing: Davila will take over the restaurant and bar space at the St.
Anthony hotel formerly occupied by Rebelle, which closed in January. REBELLE YELL: St. Anthony hotel’s restaurant closes The St. Anthony announced Davila’s participation in the new restaurant concept Thursday. A name has yet to be decided for the restaurant, which a hotel press release said would open “in the coming months.” 'Chef Davila’s talent, creativity, and deep connection to the flavors of South Texas make him the perfect fit for the St. Anthony hotel,' said Maria Martinez, the hotel’s general manager. While the press release was light on details, Davila told the Express-News this week that he’ll continue to draw from the multinational playbook that shaped Stixs & Stone. That restaurant’s creative blend of Mexican, Chinese and Korean cooking has fueled Davila’s rise in San Antonio, including this year’s James Beard nomination for Best Chef: Texas, his appointment as a UNESCO chef ambassador for San Antonio and the No. 3 Express-News ranking among the city’s Top 25 Mexican restaurants. MARCH BADNESS: Mike Sutter’s best and worst of March Stixs & Stone will mark its last day of service on Saturday. Davila said his team from Stixs & Stone will join him at the St. Anthony restaurant, along with some of their most popular dishes, including Big Red and barbacoa tacos, glazed pork ribs, duck breast with mole and modified versions of the Korean fried cauliflower and grilled skewers of beef, chicken and pork. Rebelle, which was opened by hospitality entrepreneur Andrew Goodman and chef Stefan Bowers in 2015, closed in January with a sign in front of the closed doors saying that due to “unforeseen circumstances,” the restaurant would be “closed until further notice.”
