   This is a nice atmosphere and has a great octopus appetizer and steak tartar. Cocktail shrimp are large. Good drink selection. It’s on the pricey side for what portions you get.

   The restaurant exudes a delightful and inviting atmosphere. Oysters are available for $3.95 each, with names reflecting their place of origin. While the lobster roll is merely satisfactory, the fries are somewhat small and overly salty. On a positive note, the shrimp pasta truly stands out, earning a perfect score of 10 out of 10! The portion sizes may be smaller than what one typically anticipates in Texas, and the drinks are also modest in size and lacking in distinction. In summary, I would give this establishment a rating of 3 stars.

   On New Year’s Day, my family and I visited Little Em’s Oyster Bar in the King William district, and it was a fantastic way to start the year! The restaurant’s adorable pink aesthetic and cozy atmosphere immediately set the tone for a memorable dining experience. I ordered the lobster roll and tuna tartare, and let me just say, they were absolutely phenomenal—probably the best tuna tartare I’ve ever had! The flavors were fresh and perfectly balanced. The rest of the family loved their dishes as well, and the variety on the menu ensured there was something for everyone. The seating was ample and comfortable, which made the experience even better, especially with our group of five that included my daughter, husband, and in-laws. The service was friendly and attentive, rounding out an all-around excellent visit. This is definitely a restaurant I plan to return to soon. If you’re looking for delicious seafood and a charming vibe, Little Em’s Oyster Bar is a must-try!

   I attended and it’s one of the worst dinner experiences ever. Chef changed. Food was below average. And service was rude, and awful. Never returning there again. If I could rate it below 1 star I would. Server was disrespectful, and rude.
