This place was recommended by my shuttle driver and I liked the look of it so in I went. Outdoor seating on a warm spring evening with a view of the famed San Antonio Riverwalk was a welcome relief after a long day of travel delays and 9 months of winter in Central MN. Staff was friendly but not officious.... More

This is one of the must go to restaurants in San Antonio. It has so much charm and is really a landmark. We ate there this past Saturday night an it was beyond delicious. The staff was amazing, especially Phillip, our waiter. One of the couples that we were with ordered a bottle of wine from the menu and they... More

The LIttle Rhein Steakhouse is located on the riverwalk with both indoor and outdoor seating. In my mind it has the best location in LaVallita We sat outside on a tiered patio with a nice table overlooking the amphitheater and the riverwalk. The service was friendly, the food good and the wine was good. We were fortunate that the weather... More

46 $ ribeye without sides was cooked as ordered, but came only lukewarm. Party of 5 was seated directly under a/c vent. Overall service rating was weaker than average and definitely did not fit to the price of the restaurant. No recommendation. Next evening we went a few hundred steps further and were satisfied much more in Texas Land and... More

(April 16 2013) Before going to Little Rhein I read some of these reviews here and on Urban Spoon. But went with an open mind. Now wish I went somewhere else. I have to rate the atmosphere as outstanding. BUT..... I ordered the bone in ribeye at $52 along with the twice baked jalepeno potatoe $8. My group also elected... More

I was invited here with a conference group who selected this restaurant. I had browsed trip advisor earlier in the day in the hopes that one of the reviews would tell me which house specialty to order. I was very disappointed to read the negative reviews of the steaks. We had a special menu for our large group. I almost... More

We went to downtown to escape our gulag accommodations at the JW Marriott Hill Country and get some real food instead of the slop at the hotel. This place was well worth the journey into town! We were seated on the balcony at the back of the restaurant overlooking the bend of the River. How beautiful and serene it was!... More

The first time I went to this place, I assumed I was going to just another tourist trap on the River. How wrong I was. Great food and great service - ALWAYS. Now you might have to wait half the night to get in there, but you're gonna love it - so relax.

My husband and I enjoyed an excellent evening of fine dining at Little Rhein Steakhouse. Little did we know that the Little Rhein Steakhouse was voted as "one of the top three Steak Houses in Texas". In my opinion that statement is well deserved. We had a table outside closest to the River Walk, the food and service was excellent... More

So disappointed! Lived in San Antonio in the 60s when this restaurant opened, went to Hemisfair, saw the Hilton built... and was so excited to bring my husband to my home town. Well... it started when the hostess wanted to seat us on the "porch" and we asked for outdoor seating. First punishment... seated in teeny tiny itty bitty corner... More
