Situated near the Henry B. Gonzales Convention Center, Tributary is a go-to for business travelers, but it’s far from your typical hotel dining experience. Locals frequent the open-concept space for its convenient location and top-notch people watching. The spring pea and spinach ravioli is a bright seasonal addition worth trying.
Tributary’s “little bit of everything” menu has options for all tastes. Even the most devoted carnivores won’t miss the meat. Don’t hesitate to make a meal from the appetizers and small plates. The smoked brisket rangoon fuses Texas flavors into a crispy wonton, and the chips, queso and guacamole, served with a trio of salsas, are must-orders. The crispy shrimp and barbacoa quesadillas are hearty enough to share. Or not.
