Best Restaurants for Business Meals in La Villita

Why hadn’t we been here sooner!?! This was our first time dining at Bliss and it was fantastic. Starting off with the restaurant itself; it is beautiful and quaint. I loved walking through the server line on way to restroom. Hearing servers and cooks state “guest behind!” put you right into the action of a gourmet kitchen. We were seated in middle row of main dining area, and I did find tables to be a bit close to each other, servers having to walk around to main entrance to get from one side of table to other, but that did not affect the experience. It brought me joy to see several diners recognized as regulars by restaurant staff. For the meal, we started with the appetizer special. A burrata with thinly sliced heirloom red and gold tomatoes served in a garlic oil with a balsamic glaze accompanied by toasted sliced ciabatta bread. It was outstanding. We moved on to the wedge salad which was large enough to share. Chef served it split on two plates for us. While the dressing was very tasty, we did find it a bit drenched and overpowering, particularly with it being blue cheese. For main course we had the short ribs and the roasted half chicken. Short rib was very flavorful and moist. Perfectly seasoned and not overly salted. Random mention, the snap peas were incredible. Now while I loved the short rib, holy cow, the chicken! The chicken was by far better than any chicken I’ve ever had. Never expected that! Juicy, perfect, so much flavor. Overall, the experience was wonderful. We are already thinking about our next visit to Bliss!

What a great time! The restaurant is beautiful & comfortable. The food was good, but surprisingly the side dishes were what really shined 👀 We ordered one of each for the table & couldn’t get enough 😂 The staff was absolutely incredible from the second we walked in. So friendly and inviting. Definitely a place we will return to!

The experience was exceptional. Can’t wait to go back. Our server Lauren, was the best. Thank you for a wonderful evening ❤️❤️‼️

Our server was attentive (but busy). He had great recs and the food was incredible.

Our waitress was absolutely fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed the Navajo bread and had the Pozole soup, which was excellent. My redfish course was exceptionally tasty. My personal preference was not to have skin on, but the flavor was incredible. And possibly the best Keylime pie I’ve had in my life! Exceptionally creamy and custody all at the same time and just the right amount of tartness
