I've been coming to Bliss for about ten or elven years. They've been around for about twelve years now. This cozy yet elegant dining spot is a true gem in San Antonio's bustling restaurant scene. The food is absolutely amazing. Every single dish is consistently on point! Absolutely delicious! The service here is top tier as well. If you looking for a spot to make someone special very happy, or if you just want to make some amazing memories for yourself, Bliss is the perfect spot for you! Here's to many more memorable meals in the future here. This is true bliss at Bliss!

We had a reservation.yet we were seated in a back room that appeared to be more of a storage room. There was one long table in there and only one other group of three individuals. Very disappointing. Food was very good, but was at a much higher level than the ambience. Will definitely not go back.

We ordered almost all the small plates. Oyster sliders, hamachi tostadas, bone marrow tartare, octopus, and the Asian pear salad were all very good. Our server was courteous, kind, and prompt. Best service we have had by far in San Antonio. We will definitely be back for any future visits to San Antonio.

My wife and I made a reservation to celebrate our 2 year anniversary. It was a wonderful experience. Leah, our waitress was extremely helpful with wine pairings and easily one of the best waitresses I’ve ever had. Her attitude was cheerful and, overall, she helped make our experience an amazing one. The front room was very robust so I appreciated that we were sat in the back room. The food was worth every dollar spent. I enjoyed the scallops and my wife had the red snapper. The scallops melted and were flavored perfectly. The red snapper had just the right amount of crisp to the skin without drying out the meat. My only critique is that the grits that sat under my scallops needed a tad more salt to pull the flavor. We finished with the butter cake and it’s literally heaven. There’s nothing else to say. I almost forgot about our appetizer, the mahi mahi ceviche searched with plantain chips. I’ve eaten a lot of ceviche and theirs is hands down the best! It wasn’t fishy at all and the citrus juice was a harmonious balance of tart and sweetness. If I went back for nothing else on the menu, I would go back for that! I highly recommend Bliss and we certainly will revisit.

Bliss did not disappoint. We have been wanting to come back in town and make sure we got to experience the dining there. Marcy, our server could not have done anything different. She was absolutely full of class, knowledge and care. She made us feel like we were the only ones there and made sure our understanding of the dishes was clear. We ordered the popular oyster sliders, the spanish octopus and the sashimi tostadas for starters. Our dinners were short ribs, beef tenderloin, the popular scallops and duck dishes. Everyone loved their dishes and could not stop raving. Of course, we did not stop and we ordered 3 desserts to try among 5 of us. Incredible evening for our palates!!
