Went here for the first time for dinner the other night and can't believe I hadn't discovered this place earlier. It was soo good! And I don't love seafood but really enjoyed my dinner here. The staff was welcoming as soon as you walk in and service was prompt. Cocktails were great and they have a sommelier to help you choose wine. For our appetizer we had a variety of oysters and they were all delicious!! We also had the grilled octopus which was cooked perfectly. For our main we had the Gulf Grouper and it was melt in your mouth flavorful! It paired well with the broccolini. And of course we had to get fries, which was nice and crispy. Overall, great service and tasty food...I will definitely be back!! read more

Okay Pappas! This place is cute! And they offer a great product! My friend and I stopped by after a function and were immediately seated with no reservation. I off course got my usual sparkling water! We ordered the caeser salad. It is definitely an unorthodox type of salad and taste wise great portion size, ahh quite disappointing. Its too small to be $24. We both ordered the fried snapper the Yukon mashed potatoes, broccolini by strong reccomendation from our excellent waiter Dane! And the Levain bread! The food was really really good and well made! Overall a great experience with great service also ample parking! The bathrooms are really cute and offer hand towels! Very very posh! read more

Took my cousin to Little Oyster Bar for his birthday on a Thursday evening, and it was such a great experience. Our reservation was at 7:30pm so more towards dinner time. He arrived a little early and they had him seated in a booth by the time we got there. There's valet available for $8, but we chose to self-park for free. From the moment we walked in, the welcome was warm and genuine. Our server, Crystal, and major shoutout to her, was friendly, attentive, and made us feel completely at ease right away. We didn't feel rushed despite getting there 30 mins post our reservation. The menu is on the smaller side, which I actually appreciated because everything felt well-executed. I ordered the salmon, with fries on the side, my friend got the jumbo crab cake with broccolini, and we shared the baked Gulf oysters for the table. Everything tasted fresh and was very flavorful. We almost ordered another round of oysters. The ambiance struck a nice balance. While it's fine dining adjacent, it was still very relaxed. While we definitely stood out from the typical crowd (think older, Southern regulars), we felt comfortable and welcomed the entire time. Great service, fresh seafood, and a welcoming atmosphere. I'm already looking forward to coming back to check out their happy hour where the oysters are $2. read more

Another new, high-end concept from the Pappas family. A remodeled Pappas Seafood, turned high-end seafood dining, was a wonderful experience. The staff was great - made us feel welcomed and regularly checked on us. Service was great, food was wonderful. The dining menu was diverse and too hard to choose from as I wanted to try everything. The wine menu was fun and well priced. Highly recommend among Houston's seafood offerings. read more

Finally got the chance to make my way to Little's for some oysters and a good time. We tried a dozen oysters to start off with and they were phenomenal - very fresh and from the east coast (unfortunately I tend to prefer those over gulf oysters). The tuna crudo was also great, especially if you're looking for something lighter and tasty. I normally don't like sweet flavors with fish but the pomegranate worked well with the tuna. The grilled octopus was excellent, a this was a fan favorite at our table. If you're into wine, they have a somolier on deck if you have any questions. Given that we had two birthdays at the table they gave us a special sweet treat! read more

Boy, do I ever DESPISE mandatory valet parking. So, you pull up to the restaurant and there is a parking fee of $8, sometimes more. You don't want to park drop off your fellow guests and find a place down the street so you turn over your car. Let's say your dining bill comes to $100. You leave a $20 tip for the waitstaff. This gets divided between the waiter and busboy, sometimes also the back of the house. The waitstaff has worked hard all evening to make your meal enjoyable. Meanwhile, some 3rd party company is making $8 off of every car being parked. For taking your keys and driving your car a short distance. What a spectacular, welcoming waitstaff and management. We were greeted by several, even though the place was PACKED on the Friday we went. Looking around at the other tables, waitstaff with big smiles, making patrons comfortable. So professional. I joked that Pappas has taken the professional training of the steakhouse and applied it to a seafood restaurant. Thank you, Omar Velasquez and Josh Cerda. And to the second sommelier whose name I've forgotten. By the way guys, it isn't "so-mah-lee-er". There is no "ah" in sommelier. Lol. The video I am posting. On a busy night like tonight the noise level was brutal. Forget about conversation. Tile floors. Reflective ceilings. LOUDNESS TO 11. All one needs is a couple of parties of six loud, shrill voices. I've never understood why restaurants have this philosophy of keeping the noise level up, for the misconception that a loud and noisy place will make people think that they are having more fun. The people that I dined with enjoyed their choices of salads, oysters, cioppino, and their salmon entrees. A lot. Everyone left very happy respect to food quality and service. I did not enjoy my gumbo because I am less salt tolerant than just about everyone. And putting potato salad in the bowl before adding the gumbo broth...for me, not good. It immediately broke down, resulting in floating potato cubes. And mayonnaise dissipating into the gravy. In Louisiana it's still about 50/50 opinion whether to add or not add the potato salad directly. I'd say "skip the gumbo". Note: a few years back, I had some dental work, so, while focusing on soft foods for a month, I had fun using this time to sample the gumbos at over 30 places in the greater Houston area and writing about them. I've also done a lot of traveling in Louisiana and noted just how the style of gumbo changes as one goes from the north (Shreveport for example) down through Cajun country, and on to Houma, New Orleans and Slidell. read more

Little's has been on my radar since early last summer since I had a special connection here, and also a few friends had tried it and loved it. I finally took the opportunity to try it. If anyone knows me well, they know I don't eat a lot of seafood, so I wouldn't necessarily gravitate towards a seafood restaurant when suggesting a place to eat out. I brought my friend who I usually try new places with. Though Little's has been open for about 3 years, it's new to me. Our reservation was for 5:30 pm on a Saturday just after it opened for dinner service. We decided to valet for $8 instead of look for street parking. We checked in at the hostess stand and were seated right away in the dining area near the doors for the kitchen area where the magic happens. ;) The bar was playing black and white films on TV. I wish Little's had purse hooks or stands, but it was fine. I draped it on my chair. It probably wouldn't be conducive to have a purse stand by the table because of the impeccable service and needing access to the tables. They regularly wiped the crumbs, condensation on the table from the drinks, and gave new dinner plates and silverware after each dish. Service was top notch. It gets busy with so many servers walking around, but they are attentive and work like a well-oiled machine. My friend and I were so impressed. It's like Chick-fil-A on steroids. Like another reviewer mentioned, the hostess and a server opened the doorway to the restrooms for me. Who does that?! Little's does that! Rainey (sp?) was our server, and she was amazing. She helped us decide what might be a bigger portion to make room to try other dishes. My friend and I wanted to dine family style too, so we shared most of everything except the desserts where we each got the spiced-carrot blonde brownie. I pre-review menus everywhere I dine, so I was familiar with it. Here's what we had: Lobster gnocchi - *chef's kiss* One of my favorite dishes, though truly, I loved them all. The lobster was so buttery. The crisp potato skin was enough to add a crunch. The gnocchi was pillowy. The blistered cherry tomatoes and that sauce gave it the perfect sweetness, acidity and heat. I could've drank that sauce. Lol. I think bread or something would've been nice to dip it in with the extra sauce left over. Carbs on carbs. It's kinda like Pier 39 in SF, if you've ever been. You dip the bread in the leftover garlic butter from the crabs. So good. Crab croquettes - Perfect crunch to the breading. It was filled with large lump crab pieces which is appreciated. The green sauce (avocado, tamarind, serrano) provided nice a herb/earthy flavor with the slight spice of serrano. Probably to cut the richness. American red snapper - Served with 4 large pieces and a large bowl of sauce ravigote (classic French sauce; to me, it tasted similar to tartar and gribiche). The fish was so flaky, and the breading was light. Loved this dish as well. Crisp eggplant - I love eggplant so much. I'm glad they used the Japanese eggplant. Each piece stayed crispy with a light, thin tempura batter or something. It stayed crispy throughout despite the nuoc cham sauce. The shredded coconut was not overpowering at all. I loved this dish. *chef's kiss* Grilled broccolini - After all the richness of the other dishes, it was nice to have some greens. You could taste the "grilled" flavor. It was delicious and topped with Marcona almonds. Spiced-carrot blonde brownie - Perfect size. Love that the brownie is warm. The cream cheese gelato helps cut the sweetness. The pecan nougatine is slightly hard in some pieces and could be more crumbly like brittle. Chocolate Pot De Crème - A good-sized bowl. Like a chocolate mousse/pudding consistency. The raspberry chantilly paired nicely with the chocolate. The chocolate shortbread was delicious at the bottom giving it a crunch. I had 2 mocktails which were cocktails that could be made as spirit-free. The Cool As A Cucumber was refreshing but pretty sweet and needed more lime. I preferred the Peach Pit which was more fizzy with the peach cream soda. I could eat the same dishes repeatedly here. My friend and I left full and happy. Little's is easily a favorite of mine. The lot (most likely the valet space) says "I left my heart at Little's." I left my stomach and appetite there, too! Special thanks to Chef Zack and GMs Carlos and Kobe who I had the pleasure of meeting at the 2025 Tastemaker Awards for their hospitality. I've dined at many Pappas restaurants like Delta Blues, Pappadeaux, Pappasitos, and Pappas BBQ, but no Pappas restaurant is as great as this one when it comes to food + service. read more

Everything, and I really mean everything, was excellent about our family dinner here. They have their own parking lot with an optional $8 valet service. I used free parking shortly after its 5 pm opening and walked 30 steps to the front door to be seated at a requested back area of their beautiful restaurant. They offered a baby chair, but actually had a special sturdy baby device for our carry baby cradle. Food and service were outstanding. Five Stars. read more

Very cute so many flavors in this dish and me and my best friend loved it. It was around the corner from our old high school. It's not overly crowded. It's a very nice ambience. The setting is great. The service was on point. They made great suggestions for us we did the lobster gnocchi with fries and some cocktails and we'll definitely be back for another celebration. read more

Little’s Oyster Bar - Lobster & Gnocchi Salt & Pepper French Fries - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

I enjoyed my experience here. Before coming, I was wondering how they could step it up a notch from their other seafood restaurants and now I know. During my visit, they offered 4 different appellations of raw oysters, mostly from the east cost and I selected the smallest ones, per the waiter's suggestion. Good choice as they were so clean and delicious. The service here is outstanding, of course, as they kind of have to be at this price point. Everything from the timing of the server's table visits to the way they speak is very professional but still relatable. I tried the chicken fried red snapper since it seemed to be an interesting take on a common local fish. Breading and taste are almost similar to eating chicken tenders, but much lighter and tender of course. Nothing wrong with this dish, but I would have rather had chicken fried ribeye for the price. I also had some of the off the menu special, a sockeye salmon with jumbo shrimp, which was phenomenal as well. I also tried a peach pit cocktail, and it was pretty good. It comes at a price consistent with restaurants of this caliber, but due to the portion size after considering the amount of ice, I should have chosen a beer or a wine instead. read more

We went to Little's Oyster Bar for Valentine's Day. They have valet parking for $8 and self-parking. Our table was ready when we arrived and our server came to take care of us immediately. The restaurant has a small patio, a bar and the main dining area. The restaurant is rather small when compared to other restaurants in my opinion. The seating is also very close together. We opted for the Valentine's Day pre-fix menu, which included an appetizer, main entree, side and dessert. My husband had the half dozen of oysters and I had the wild gulf shrimp, both of which were good. We also ordered the baked oysters separately, and they were delicious. We both ordered the American Red Snapper, which was fried and when it arrived it reminded me of fish and chips. I would give it a 5/10. The fish was flaky but it lacked flavor/seasoning. The Collard Green Slaw and Grilled Broccolini were both good. For dessert we had the Strawberry and Cream spiced rum cake. It was delicious. Overall, it was good, but I'm not sure I would go out of my way to return again. It probably would have been better if we ordered a different entree. read more

Beautifully designed interior that's luxuriously relaxing but not too romantic. Hollywood regency done right while maintaining the pappas style branding. Very clean throughout. Tables were cleared immediately. Service was great. Food came perfectly timed. Did have trouble getting a refill of soda but it was very busy. Offers an awesome selection of seafood dishes and fresh oysters but I didn't think the mains were as memorable as I was hyped up to expect. Our waitress made a big deal about the sauce on the steak so when it was normal, felt underwhelming. The crisp eggplant was delightful. The dessert was SO surprisingly delicious, not too sweet and light. nobody drank at my meal but the drinks at other tables looked enjoyably fancy. Every dish was gorgeously designed. Restroom was clean. Has valet parking. read more

I was so impressed by our Thursday evening dinner date here earlier this week. I recognized the location, but the exterior and interior was unrecognizable, but in a wonderful way. The swift valet service, the knowledgeable waiters, Maitre'd, and Sommelier not to mention the seasonal menu. We started off with a dozen East Coast oysters 4 from Maine, 4 from PEI, and 4 from Connecticut, and we were even informed on their minerality scale. Next, our Sommelier, helped us find some interesting wines; my husband and I are fans of German and Austria wines, so we were intrigued by both an Austrian Gruner and a Sauvignon blanc, which paired well with our seafood. We also enjoyed some sourdough bread while we waited for our dry-aged salmon, not that's not a type - salmon! The experience was something else! It wasn't fishy, overcooked, or slimy. Lastly, the dessert 10/10 or 5 out of 5 stars on Yelp - we had a lovely Yuzu and Cassis dessert with some coconut cream, and I could eat this everyday if I had a high metabolism. But, I don't. If you're looking for a calm, quiet conversation focused, and delicious food type date, then this is it. read more

Absolutely phenomenal first time at Little's! Parking lot gets full quickly so I did valet for $8. The service is really outstanding. The staff at the front are dressed nicely and the wait staff are also all uniformly dressed with clean shirts and aprons. Was there with friends to celebrate and the staff gave me a card with the date and signatures from the chef and manager, which I thought was such a nice touch. The cocktail list is pretty nice, they're on the pricier side at $18 with options for alcohol free versions. Also plenty of wine options! All of the food was exceptional, but you must come for the oysters. They have raw oysters from different parts of the country that you can choose from, whatever quantity you desire. Went for some gulf oysters, which had a lovely sweetness, and the accompanying sauces were fantastic. The next time I come back I will order way more of these! Also tried the baked gulf oysters, which are probably my favorite, the crab on top takes them over the edge. Super indulgent but a must try. The grilled octopus was the best I've had, the meat was tender and not overcooked at all. The sauce was a perfect accompaniment. Tried 2 mains- the grouper was light in flavor, a meatier fish but perfectly cooked. Still tender. The redfish is was my favorite- the skin was crispy and the topping of olives and other green bits was perfectly savory. The levain sourdough bread was phenomenal- the outside was crusty but the inside was soft and fluffy. The butter was flavorful and the spirulina sea salt was not only beautiful but really took the butter to another level. Finished the meal with the chocolate hazelnut entremet, which had the loveliest texture and prominent hazelnut flavor. The passion fruit dollops on top were a lovely pairing to cut through the sweetness. I cannot say enough great things about this place. A new go-to for sure!! Will consider this place for all celebrations and nice dinners! read more

Decided to try Littles again and again, it did not disappoint!! Food: - wild gulf shrimp--delicious and good sized shrimp with the most delicious pomegranate cocktail sauce - crab croquettes--we inhaled these! Perfectly crisp with the flakiest crab meat. Highly recommend - Texas redfish--SO good. The snapper is our fave but this is a close second. Very flavorful! - crisp eggplant--highly recommend. So tasty and the crisp texture is perfection. Def a good side for 2 people to share. - French fries--so good!! Crisp exterior, soft interior. Compliments the meal really well. Ambiance-- I wish we didn't have such a small table, especially being on a date but the food and service were so good that I can't complain. Service--shoutout to Dom for his hospitality and expertise. Great service per usual! read more

Came for Valentine's Day and was seated 20 minutes after our reservation. We were seated basically at the same time as the table next to us but for some reason the waiter introduced the menu and specials for the day to them but not us lol? We didn't get our entrees until an hour and forty five minutes after we were originally supposed to be seated, and by that time it was past closing. That being said it's only the poor service that brings the restaurant down for me. The food was pretty good overall. We ordered oysters ($3/$4 per) and out of all of them the ones they had from Virginia that day were the best. The tuna crudo, octopus and lobster gnocchi were also very good. The only thing we didn't like was the fries which were kind of soggy. read more

This restaurant is where the Pappas Seafood House used to be. The Pappas sign is still up. The ambiance was chic and romantic and the service was impeccable. We sat on the covered outdoor patio as they could not accommodate us inside the restaurant with the number in our party (6). The patio was nice, not too hot or cold. We ordered some oysters (raw and baked) and crab croquettes to start. The baked oysters were flavorful and the crab croquettes were crispy and scrumptious. For dinner I had the salmon. There was a nice crust on the salmon but it was a bit salty. The salmon itself was delicious. The filet was tender and juicy. The dessert we had was ok. We expected the cake to be moist but it was somewhat dry. I would come back here to try some other dishes. read more

My sister wanted to try this spot for her birthday. The staff were very kind with quick service. If you're coming here for a full meal, expect it to be a while as it is served in courses. And make sure to make a reservation as they are a small restaurant only open in the evenings. First we started off with cold seafood - tuna crudo and shrimp cocktail. The crudo had a nice flavor and was served with endive. We also got the bread which came with butter and blue algae salt. It came with 4 pieces for $7. It was really good just wish they'd give a better portion since it's not even free. Then we had the scallop chowder, crab croquettes, and baked oysters. The scallop chowder was really good, strong flavor with bacon as well. The baked oysters were good but I think Pappadeaux's are better. The crab croquettes were forgettable. Then we had the caviar course. This was my first time having caviar and it was a unique twist to be served with hush puppies. The hush puppies were actually one of my favorite parts of the meal. The executive chef flies around the country to source the caviar himself and provides a unique experience to restaurant goers. For the mains, we shared the gulf grouper, red snapper, and filet. The filet was standard thought a bit bland. The gulf grouper was nice and delicate with a butter caper sauce that everyone enjoyed. The fried red snapper was also great with a perfect texture and didn't feel oily. For sides, we ordered the fries and delicata squash. The squash was the worst thing we had in the meal. It was way too sweet and the overall composition doesn't make sense to me compared to the rest of the menu. It had pepitas and queso fresco on it as well. They swapped it out for the eggplant for us which was better but also an odd dish compared to the menu. It was served with fish sauce and coconut flakes. The flavors just don't complement the meals. I'd prefer a spinach or vegetable medley. The fries were good but the Cajun flavor of the ketchup was a bit too strong for my liking. They brought out several desserts for the birthday girl which was very kind. I'm not a dessert person so can't really judge them well but the favorite was the spiced carrot blonde brownie. They also have some nice sorbets. Overall we had a good experience. I will most likely not be back simply because I prefer mid level dining in general. I'd recommend this as a cocktail/appetizer spot to visit with friends or a nice dinner to celebrate an important occasion. Notable dishes for me: scallop chowder, fried snapper, and the caviar. read more

Exceptionally fresh seafood prepared by an expert chef who knows how to bring out the best flavors in each dish. Went here for an anniversary dinner and were greeted warmly with a card commemorating our special occasion. The East Coast oysters were so fresh and tasty. The Red Fish with Castelvecchio olives was perfectly seared, flaking, tender, succulent and absolutely divinely tasting. The special Cioppino with crab, shrimp and white fish with aioli and toast was just phenomenal. Exceptional wine list by the bottle and glass. Tastefully appointed dining room. Service was exceptional, our server was knowledgeable and efficient always ensuring we had a memorable and pleasant time. Well done. read more

Some of the BEST food in Houston--seriously! I wouldn't say it's a place for decadent dining. No table linens...just picnic-like chairs within a transitional farmhouse-style eatery with a chaos of hanging lights lol. I won't discount them for that! It's still very clean and casually sophisticated. Service is excellent--everyone was checking up on us and making sure we were happy. Everything we've had this last time around was fantastic, I can't pick what was the best dish! We enjoyed the yellowfin tuna crudo (huge portion and perfection!), their take on Caesar salad with anchovies (the burrata & boquerones), the Texas redfish and side of crispy eggplant. My GOD--the eggplant! But seriously, it was ALL good!!! I love that they kept the nostalgic Pappa's sign too :) read more

Had a lovely time at Little's! The oysters were great (recommend the New Hampshire ones this season for size + brine) but the stars of the show were all of the dishes our server recommended like the Grilled Octopus, Burrata, and the off-the-menu items like the cobia. The octopus I recommend everyone to get! Will definitely be coming back since the menu supposedly changes seasonally. Great service and ambiance at the oyster bar with server Crystal! read more

Omg this place was outstanding. The food was phenomenal and the service was impeccable. Restaurant is very cutely decorated. Went with a few friends and we all shared our food.

Octopus was my favorite. for entrees we got the filet with crab, chicken fried snapper, grouper with radish beurre blanc, crispy eggplant, mashed potatoes with sea urchin butter and the squash. Dessert we got the chocolate cake with passion fruit and hazelnut (omg your mouth will thank you for this flavor profile) and the blonde brownie. I can't express enough how amazing this meal was.

This one didn't disappoint. The portions were generous. Each bite was flavorful and each dish was nuanced. The blue crab was dressed in a perfectly balanced vinaigrette. The croquettes were stuffed to the brim with fresh seafood. The scallop chowder was deep and full of umami. The tomato sauce in the lobster gnocchi was so fresh and tangy the taste lives in on in my memory. The only nitpick is the lobster was a bit overcooked. The service was great. Our server was attentive and didn't rush us at all, despite our arriving at a late hour. read more

I went to Little's to celebrate my birthday as well as the birthday of a friend. The service was amazing and the food delicious! Our waiter introduced us to the special entree of the day and was knowledgeable about the menu for making recommendations. We had a dozen oysters (3 from each of the 4 regions), the yellowfin tuna crudo, octopus, crisp eggplant, sourdough bread, and a chocolate hazelnut dessert. Everything tasted so good, but I'd say our favorites were the fresh oysters, eggplant, and chocolate hazelnut dessert!! I also had the Pinot noir on the menu and it was out of this world. The sommelier came by to show me the bottle as I was interested in purchasing one online to have at home. The service was attentive and professional from the waiter himself right down to the one filling our glasses. Near the end of the night as I headed to the restroom, one of the managers spotted me heading that way and got there before me to open the door. Oh my!! My only complaint is that I felt the hosts could have been more inviting. Greetings were without smiles and unenthusiastic. If Little's can improve on their "first impression" as customers walk in, that would be a huge plus. Other than that, I was very happy with my experience at Little's and will definitely be going back. read more

Little's Oyster Bar was a hit from start to finish. Parking is valet, but it was quick and efficient. Then the ambiance is very modern classy without feeling stuffy or pretentious. What sets this place apart is the Pappas quality service where they try to make you feel as comfortable as possible. Originally this place was completely booked on a Thurs night except for 1 table of 4 on Resy. I called them and I politely asked if it was possible to make it a table of 5 for an early mother's day dinner. They graciously said we can make it work for y'all, and the rest was history. Thank you Little's Oyster Bar for helping us celebrate an early mother's day dinner. Food/drinks wise, everything was top notch. Rose colored glasses was their take on a refreshing aperol spritz. For entrees, we loved their grilled octopus, chicken fried snapper, lobster gnocchi, and yellow edge grouper. Then the MUST order items here are of course their Prince Edward Island oysters, and surprisingly the fried eggplant side dish. Trust me and order the eggplant please. Overall, Little's Oyster Bar was the perfect place for our early mother's day dinner. The food is fantastic, the ambiance is nice, and you really can't beat their level of service. Cheers! read more

My fam and I celebrated an early Mother's Day dinner here and we had a very nice time. I had their version of an Aperol Spritz with a hint of guava, Rose Colored Glasses, and it was such a delight! I love anything with guava and one of my fave cocktails is the Aperol Spritz so this was perfect. Our table split the bread service with spirulina butter and raw oysters from PEI and Maryland. Both were very tasty and set the tone perfectly for the rest of our dinner. For my entree, I had their lobster gnocchi which was divine! I wanted more. Other notable dishes that my fam ordered were the Spanish Octopus and Brown Butter Grouper. Also, get the eggplant! The menu was small but everything was delicious. The only thing that wasn't the greatest were the crawfish croquettes, as per my hubby's remarks. Service was very attentive and the vibes were classy but not too over the top. Valet parking is available out front. Would recommend for a celebratory dinner! read more

This was a last minute date night spot. We had driven by it countless times but this time we had time to go inside. Parking was a breeze and they even offered free valet. Our servers were always prompt and explained each of the food options well so we were t surprised when it got to our table. The oysters were so fresh and they offered a large variety. Overall the price wasn't bad and we'll be back to try some different foods in the off season of seafood read more

Always a phenomenal time. My all-time favorite restaurant in Houston. The food, cocktails, and ambiance are consistently top-notch. But my favorite part about coming here is the people. Their service is one of the best I've encountered, and I travel a lot. I look forward to my next visit. read more

Absolute gem of a restaurant! We had 3 types of oysters, lobster gnocchi and tuna tartare-- not to mention a fabulous bottle of champagne selected by the sommelier. The entire staff seemed to work as a team and everyone who came to our table was friendly and professional. The ambiance was boisterous, but not too loud. Highly recommend! read more

Went here last night for mine and my partners anniversary dinner and we loved it. I had seen it on social media and heard all great things so was very pleased that it was all true! From the minute we got there, from valet to host to everyone on staff, so welcoming and friendly. Multiple members of the staff stopped to say happy anniversary and genuinely having conversation, they were all more than helpful with the menu and suggestions, amazing service. The food...all worth it! We started with the le petit and the blue crab oysters and all of it was great. For entree I had the grouper and my partner had one of the specials, which I can't remember the name but seasonal white fish, flaky with caviar on top. The flavor of the grouper was very good, cooked perfectly and my partner enjoyed his just as much. We weren't going to do dessert and said no, then the waitress said nothing caught your eye. I had said yes but we were full and she said yeah but which one and when I told her she said great I'll be right back. She brought us that dessert and it was on them for our anniversary dinner! Just all around great service great food and definitely worth it!! Would highly recommend checking this place out, reservations suggested they seem to fill up quick. read more
