Best Oyster Bars in La Villita

Had a very good time. The ambience was great. The live band was soulful, food was good, customer service was great and swift. It was a great experience. And it couldn't be in a better location right on the Riverwalk.

My girl and I celebrated Valentine’s Day and our anniversary here and the experience was nothing short of amazing. We opted for an early dinner to avoid the larger evening crowd and were immediately welcomed by a warm and friendly staff. Our server, Sean, was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and engaging in the best way possible. His energy and service made our dining experience even more enjoyable. We started with the lobster bisque, which was rich, savory, and generously packed with lobster meat. The tuna tartare was equally impressive, featuring a perfect balance of citrus and spice. For the main course, I had the bone-in ribeye and she had the filet mignon paired with crab stuffed shrimp. Every bite was a masterpiece! The seasoning, texture, and presentation were top tier. As frequent diners at J Prime, we have high expectations, and I can confidently say that Eddie V’s is on the same level, if not better, in terms of taste and quality. Adding to the experience, the manager on duty, Mike, stopped by our table for a friendly chat. He shared some interesting history about the restaurant and other local steakhouses, making us feel even more connected to the place. Overall, this was a memorable dining experience, and Eddie V’s has officially earned a spot in our rotation alongside J Prime and Bohanan’s. We’ll definitely be back!

Our party of 5 had oysters, fish tacos, chowder, and wedge salad. All were great! Server was attentive and the chef came around to check on us and make sure everything was as we wanted. Great experience.

Delicious. Portion sizes were just right. Drinks were delicious. Dessert was yummy. Steak was perfectly cooked.
