The menu is straightforward and beguiling, featuring contemporary interpretations of classic dishes — fresher, brighter versions of traditional cuisine enlivened with unconventional Texas spirit.

Local and organic ingredients change the menu as the seasons peak and wane, but the constants are quality, flavor, artistry in the kitchen and a warm welcome when you walk in the door.

Chef Davis has created an extensive menu of fresh pastas, char-grilled meats, stunning vegetable dishes and Italian classics.

    We were celebrating our anniversary and felt special from the moment we walked in the door. The food was absolutely delicious and special, and we appreciated the presentation and small plates. We split the octopus appetizer and it was almost a work of art, as well as being delicious and special. I had the scallops and my husband had monk fish - both were cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. We split the butter cake for dessert and it topped off the perfect meal. Would highly recommend Bliss to anyone who wants a special meal served with impeccable service.

    Absolutely amazing! The environment and ambiance are Hill Country, smart casual. The folks that work here are warm, friendly, helpful, and know their craft. Great attention to service, flatware, and glass details. The food and courses are delectable. I could go on forever, but I’ll just say it was definitely Michelin quality. Again, absolutely amazing!
