In the literal sense, a Tributary is a body of water that feeds a larger river or lake. The San Antonio River, on which the restaurant sits, is a tributary feeding the Guadalupe River and eventually the Gulf of Mexico. In the historical sense, a Tributary was someone who paid tribute. By focusing on partnering with local farmers for our produce and proteins, respecting the seasonality of the state of Texas, and employing creativity in presentation and cooking technique, we are paying tribute to our great state and to the bounty it provides.
