Restaurant decor and vibes are awesome. I love the color tone and large windows. Food selection is good and oysters were good. The portions are small for the price. Oysters appetizer and entree cost $100 each per person. Service was slow for the lack of patrons in the establishment.
Come during happy hour 3-5 $2

This was my first time trying Little Em’s Oyster Bar! I live in Houston now but was born and raised in San Antonio, so I had to stop by while visiting and wow, I was not disappointed!
We started with a dozen oysters, and they were incredibly fresh and delicious. We also ordered the jumbo shrimp, which were just as good. For our main dishes, I got the fish tacos and my husband had the fish and chips both were a solid 10/10!
Since I don’t drink alcohol, the bartender made me an amazing mocktail that was so refreshing and full of flavor.
To top it all off, the service was excellent and the atmosphere was beautiful. The restaurant has such a cute aesthetic that really adds to the experience. I highly recommend stopping by if you’re in town and craving amazing food with equally amazing service!

Drinks and oysters with some steak tar tar was fab. Had been wanting to try this place for a while and went in on the weekend and saw it got a Michelin star and I get why! The food is yummy and so is the ambiance! The service at bar was phenomenal would just sit there next time – the table service can just be a bit slower. The oysters during happy hour is such a good deal! They’re smaller but cause they are from cold water and the flavors were so good and fresh! Can’t wait to go back! The burgers smelled so good but I can’t say this enough – go for oysters the rest can be sides

Very friendly service. We were a party of four on a Tuesday evening, after dinner hour, and sat outside near the sidewalk. They have the half liter Mexican Cokes, I had to mention that. The fresh oysters, served with horseradish and mignonette, were all delicious in their own way! We tried them all and then reordered our favorites. The ample serving of fish and chips was flaky and hot; lightly battered and perfectly cooked. The lobster roll was delicious, with fresh tasty lobster pieces. The shrimp cocktails had huge and succulent shrimp, served with spicy cocktail sauce. You definitely get what you pay for at this place.

Little Em’s Oyster Bar is where the seafood game hit elite levels. The oysters were icy perfection! Great way to start! Let’s talk about the tuna toast that had a spicy kick! My brain said eat more and my lips were on fire. The spicy octopus tartare was flavor bomb of lime and hot oils. We also got the tuna carpaccio, because apparently I am auditioning for Pescatarian of the Year. This place is worth the hype!

it was me and my boyfriends first time here and everything was amazing! the food, drinks and our server Ray were phenomenal we showed up about an hour before closing and his service was still great. Ray asked us if we were celebrating anything and we simply just said date night and a few minutes later he brought me a glass on prosecco and a mocktail for my boyfriend who stated he doesn’t drink which i thought was so considerate of Ray. Overall, we will definitely be back!

We’ve wanted to try out this spot for a while but was never in the area. We decided to walk over from another restaurant after a disappointing lunch. We walked in and sat at the empty bar and was greeted right away by the bartender. I ordered a Tito’s and OJ that was really nice! Smooth OJ and just the right amount of vodka! My wife ordered a cucumber lime Martini which she said was strong and refreshing!
We also ordered our food some fresh oysters a lobster roll and some garlic clams! The oysters came out within 5 minutes or so and they were plated so nicely and looked so fresh! We got 2 dressed and 2 plain and all of them were amazing and fresh! We ordered another round of drinks waiting for our mains and we drank through those and still no food so at 25 minutes I asked about our food and the bartender said it would be up in 5 more minutes, apologized for the delay and offered a free round! I got the same thing but the wife lychee Martini and boy did she love it!
We finally got our food after 30 minutes and was not disappointed! The lobster roll was fresh, garlicky and buttery! Whike the clams were kinda the same but delicious!
All in all, a super clean restaurant, everything all white! A great staff and amazing food. Despite the delay, we’d go back in a heartbeat!

I love this restaurant. I have been coming here for years and have been to their previous location and the new location right across the street countless times. This is one of my favorite restaurants in the city, and one I consider to be a San Antonio classic. It has exceptional food, creative cocktails, and an atmosphere that can’t be beat. Their raw oysters are finely selected and bursting with flavor. The lobster roll is delicious and one of my favorites on the menu! Definitely check this place out if you’re coming into town. They have ample outdoor seating and a good number of tables inside

So I give this place 4 stars because we had to wait 45 min after our reservation before we decided to just eat at the bar. Rob was great and helped us so promptly. He made great suggestions and was quick to get us anything we needed. The portions of the food were kind of small for the price but it was very delicious. We tried a few different things and everything was great. I loved the oysters, they were an experience. Will be back but won’t expect to be sat according to reservation time.
