Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in La Villita

Bliss was exceptional. The service was outstanding, the food was delicious and the restaurant was gorgeous. The staff was friendly and courteous, and they went above and beyond to make our celebration memorable.

We ordered escargots for appetizer, and a trout and a schnitzel for main courses. Escargot is awesome! Trout is great, albeit a little salty. Schnitzel is crispy, and the portion is huge. Overall the food quality is very good, and we enjoyed our dinner.

I ordered the Snapper Paesanos and it was delicious. Also had a Chardonnay Wine and Specialty Cocktail and everything was Awesome. One of my favorite Restaurants on the Riverwalk.

We celebrated two birthdays, and Paul made our experience the best!! Paul was so friendly, the best host/server. We each ordered a different meal and they were all delicious.  And you can’t go wrong with the location, the Emma Hotel on the Riverwalk! Thank you for a memorable afternoon.

The Ambler Restaurant offers a beautifully inviting atmosphere that feels both comfortable and sophisticated. The staff is exceptionally polite and professional, making for a delightful dining experience. Our waiter frequently checked in on us to ensure everything was to our liking. When I mentioned that I would prefer my dish to be heated a bit more, she promptly and cheerfully addressed my request. To my surprise, the chef personally came out to apologize and graciously offered a complimentary dessert, along with a freshly prepared plate that was absolutely perfect. I left feeling thoroughly satisfied and would give this place all the stars if I could! The service was excellent and the ambiance elegant. I will definitely be returning!
