We were visiting San Antonio on vacation and had dinner at Bliss. The food was outstanding, service amazing and the atmosphere delightful. We enjoyed the scallops and red fish for our meal and the butternut squash cheesecake for dessert. All were incredible. If we make it back to the area, dinner at Bliss will be a must.

I’ve come to Ostra before and have always liked it but they really impressed last night! The east coast oysters were fresh, clam linguini was dangerously good and the martinis were very well done. Service was excellent and I was grateful the moved us inside even though I originally booked an outdoor table.
