We haven’t been to House 406 in a long while, but the food and service were as good as we remembered. My husband especially enjoyed the duck special, and the shrimp and pear/burrata appetizers were outstanding as well. It was a quiet night there, which we were grateful for after a busy holiday.

This is such a quaint and dependable restaurant. An awesome setting with great food and attention to detail. Our server got off to a slow start, but was able to make strides by the end. Wine was not exactly at the right temperature, but our server made sure to cool both bottles down fairly quickly. Great experience!

This is our second visit to Del Rio and we were so excited to return. This time around, the food was much less impressive. Wait staff was perfect, responsive and friendly. Menu was limited due to special events in the main dining area, which was fine as our preferred order was on the limited menu. Disappointing.
