Years past and business grew seemingly without bound. More customers meant more food and more tables were needed. The ample 200 seats that so recently offered more space than was necessary could not meet the mounting demand. Preparations were made for yet another expansion. This time in addition to expanding the kitchen and again doubling the seating capacity, a full-service bar and outdoor patio overlooking the San Antonio River were added. The second set of renovations, completed in July 1999, included a secluded section of the patio reserved for private parties.
