Best Date Night Restaurants in La Villita

Sunset meal and drinks overlooking the Hemisfair Park and Tower of the Americas. We had the 10x Prix Fixe meal and it was amazing. 10/10

Very popular, so make a reservation. Excellent Asian style food with generous portions at reasonable prices. Items labeled for allergens and kitchen able to make modifications. Despite being crowded, service was attentive and food came out promptly. We enjoyed brussel sprouts, popcorn chicken (GF!) and chapchi noodles. Too much food for 2! The Pearl district is a lot if fun with shops, hotel, restaurants and even a cool supermarket. Every visitor needs to spend some time in the district a short ride or 1.5 mile walk from downtown.

Seafood was good. Good drink selection, including the mocktails. The use of a standardized 3 course menu helps a lot when you are already overwhelmed with the view! Recommend going after dark for better view. Parking is easy with 20 dollar flat fee. Restaurant notified us that a table opened up early, which was helpful. Good service given how crowded it was.

We really enjoyed our Christmas Eve dinner at Domingo. Elote corn and Mexican shrimp cocktail for appetizers, and flat iron steak and short ribs for our entrees. The passion fruit margaritas were delicious too! Loved the ambience sitting on the outdoor patio with Christmas lights and river walk. I recommend checking this spot out!

Enjoyed a fantastic lunch at Dean's Steakhouse bar on Christmas Eve! The lively atmosphere was filled with festive spirit, with cheerful decorations and a warm, inviting energy. We indulged in their delicious lunch specials, including a perfectly cooked burger and a refreshing lobster avocado salad. The bar staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we felt right at home. With great food, drinks, and a relaxed holiday vibe, it was the perfect way to kick off our Christmas celebrations. Highly recommend for a casual yet festive dining experience!
