Food is incredible. Service was very slow from the beginning. Wouldn't recommend getting wine if you want a drink before your food gets out. Manager was nice about communicating what was happening throughout the night that was slowing everything down, and was generous enough to comp some things. I just wouldn't recommend going for a special occasion or if you have scheduled plans for later in the night.

I went to Little’s Oyster Bar for my birthday celebrated. I enjoyed the blue crab oysters, broccolini, and grouper. The waitstaff was very attentive to most of our needs. I would recommend this for a special occasion.Dietary restrictions: Pescatarian
Impeccable service, food, and vibe. Our waiter was really knowledgeable and had great recommendations for us. The charbroiled oysters were fantastic, and I highly recommend the country fried red snapper.

From the design of the restaurant to the staff and food, certainly chefs kiss. They go above and beyond almost to make it seem that you are the only person dining in the restaurant. The Lobster gnocchi and their drinks are to die for (if I had to pick a favorite). Service excellence is a top priority at this restaurant. You would not be disappointed.

This place is awesome and beautiful. I asked the hostess for a special favor regarding the meals for my husband and I. Typically, they do not allow carry outs as to not lower the integrity of the food, but they made an exception. The food was AMAZING ?? even after we got home. Hubby is happy and we both Highly recommend this wonderful place!
So, it was a lovely evening, and I was excited to try even with a limited menu. The oysters were excellent. I only had oysters and dessert as I wasn’t particularly enthusiastic about anything else on the menu. I ordered the smoked chocolate pot and the way it's written, it would make you think it was a cake, but it's more of a pudding. Nonetheless, the flavors were great. I wasn't interested in the cocktail menu, so I had kettle one and water. The atmosphere is very stuffy and not laid back at all. The staff and service were all wonderful

Oh my goodness, I absolutely adore the ambience! It's beyond cute, especially for a first-time date. And let me tell you, sitting out on the patio was simply delightful. Although I ended up sitting at the bar, which wasn't the most spacious, the bartenders were an absolute riot! They were so funny and really helped me decide on what to eat. I swear, they practically convinced me to try everything on the menu. But honestly, it was totally worth it. The manager even came by to check on us. I can't express how much I love this place. I'm already counting down the days until my next visit!
Happy they opened this spot up again. Not the normal pappa’s vibe you’d expect. Very boutique and excellent dining experience. Great food, drinks, & date night (music isn’t too loud and just good lighting).Le Petit 5/5. Would get again. A great way to try a mix of the chilled seafood and so fresh. And this size allows you to still order other dishes for two.Oysters 5/5Foie Gras Mousse 4/5 savory sweet and the sourdough bread is great. The bread was too toasty and a little burnt.Blue crab boiled oyster 5/5 delicious.Grilled broccolini 5/5 solid. Didn’t really go with our mix of food but I wanted some veggies.Drinks: (forgot all the names)Margarita 5/5 so goodOld fashioned 5/5 our bartender Armando made it very wellSome spring special drink that was spicy 4/5 little toooo spicyThey change this up so it’ll keep it exciting.Sat at the bar and got to watch the guys shuck oysters and make drinks.Bathroom is nice.Parking is $8 valet.

This is under the Pappas family but the dishes were definitely more chef driven. We loved the crab croquettes and the chicken fried snapper. The lobster gnocchi was good but was on the saltier side, so request light salt next time. The restaurant is very beautiful and modern. We will be back to try more dishes next time!!

Five stars all around. The food was amazing and you can tell the chef takes pride in his craft. Although I absolutely loved the seafood options, the crispy eggplant was the star of the show for me. I would return just to eat this lol.Our serving was very attentive and sweet. The sommelier provided impeccable service and elevated our experience. Most places the sommeliers are very uptight and a little condescending if you’re not ordering a bottle, however here he thoroughly explained the wines by the glass options.A wonderful experience is an understatement. It’s hard to find a place with good food, service, and atmosphere. Definitely plan on returning very soon

Excellent seafood restaurant! Love the food and atmosphere. Upmarket and modern with awesome vibe. Great crowd.We were booked for 5.15pm as no other slot was available for that evening. It was quiet when we got there but packed by 6pm. There is a valet parking available.Great menu. Food was delightful. Enjoyed every bite. Fully recommend their lobster gnocchi, crisp eggplant, crab croquettes and spiced-carrot blonde brownie. Having said that, all food we had that evening was delicious! Same goes with the cocktails.There is a full bar in the restaurant. Outdoor dining available as well.

Pappas has really upped their game with this revamp of the Little Pappas Seafood that we loved for all those years. The chef has created an original menu with potato salad topped with salmon belly, flash fried eggplant, scallop chowder and many more delicious items. We were waited on by two servers. Overall one of the best dining experiences in Houston. One minor knock is the formerly free and ample parking lot is now $8 plus tip.
