First Look: Dinner previews elegant island menu from San Antonio chef Nicola Blaque's next restaurant

During a Wednesday charity dinner, San Antonio chef Nicola Blaque — now working to open Port Royal, her third local eatery — showed off complex yet approachable Caribbean fare that will be the heart of the new restaurant. Given the sampling of dishes, it’s a safe assumption that fans of Blaque’s nationally renowned Jerk Shack and sophomore project Mi Roti will enjoy some of the same over-the-top island flavors at Port Royal — just served with a hint of luxury. Located in Hemisfair, the dining spot is scheduled to open in early 2024.
