Bliss

"Such an amazing restaurant! I put down the reason for our reservation was our anniversary, and the waiter congratulated us on our anniversary and even put a candle on our desserts for us to blow out and celebrate! It was a small detail but it made our visit so personal and intimate. Our waiter was also very good at making sure all of our questions were answered and helped us chose wines to pair with our main courses. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to try amazing food with a great atmosphere! Review of the food: -We had the arugula salad and charred octopus for our appetizers and they were both DELICIOUS! I’ve never liked octopus until I had theirs! It was so tender and perfectly seasoned! The arugula salad came with dried figs and they were such a great addition to the appetizer and gave it a sweet note to the peppery arugula. -We ordered the braised beef short ribs and scallops for our main course and they were just as amazing! The scallops were buttery and so well cooked, and the ribs were so tender and juicy! The ribs came with buttery mashed potatoes and mushrooms that were pan fried to perfection! The scallops came with cooked spinach and grits that were seasoned perfectly as well! For dessert we had the butter cake and chocolate bar and it was a perfect end to our date! The chocolate bar was rich and smooth with mousse and some sea salt sprinkled on top to make the dark chocolate flavor pop, and it came with a scoop of coffee ice cream as a palette cleanser for when the chocolate cake got too rich. The butter cake was like an apple pie cake and came with a scoop of ice cream on top which made it the most warm and cozy dessert to enjoy!"

"This place is phenomenal. We went for the second time, and it was 10 out of 10, just like the first time. It happened to be restaurant week, so we went ahead and picked our items from that portion of the menu. We went with the arugula salad, beef tenderloin, Mediterranean branzino, pumpkin cheesecake, and the butter cake. Everything was done to perfection. I'm not big into sweets or deserts, but the pumpkin cheesecake was outstanding. Bliss has exceptional service, top-notch food, and a great selection of fine wine. They do not have cocktails/liqour due to being within a couple hundred feet of a school/church, but you can actually bring your own if you wanted to. The outdoor area is lovely as well, so keep that in mind for when the weather is nice."

"We celebrated our anniversary there and the food was absolutely delicious! Only downside is they only serve wine and beer, no cocktails. They were very accommodating to my request ( I had dietary restrictions) I told them that it was okay if it wasn’t possible but they were amazing about it and allowed me to change some items. The tuna appetizer was my absolute favorite and there is nothing they could have done differently to make it any more perfect! The dessert was warm and delicious I would highly recommend this place!"

"Great dining experience at Bliss. Made same day dinner reservations with no problem. The staff was welcoming and we started the night off with some delicious fresh bread and butter. Their arugula salad was fresh and had a great blend of textures and flavors. They made a wonderful charcuterie board with different meats, cheeses, and accompaniments to choose from. My boyfriend’s quail dish had one piece not thoroughly cooked well enough but the waitress and chef quickly remade the dish and we did not have to wait long at all. The Chocolate bar was nice as well. The coffee gelato complimenting the dish had nice deep coffee flavors to it as well. Enjoyable dining experience, would love to come back again next time we visit town!"

"We're fortunate to have a restaurant like Bliss in San Antonio. This establishment remains a local favorite. Each visit here is consistently outstanding, and the staff consistently exceeds expectations in creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Whether it's a romantic date night, a celebratory dinner, or a special occasion, this place never fails to impress. My go-to is reserving a seat at the bar and indulging in Oysters accompanied by a couple of glasses of Champagne. Here's to many more memorable moments at Bliss - "Cheers!""
