About

Seafood RestaurantFine Dining Restaurant
Welcome to Little’s Oyster Bar, located in the heart of Montrose. Our Executive Chef, Jason Ryczek, prepares decadent, hand-selected seafood dishes that are seasonally inspired and focus on freshness. Our menu offers a rotating selection of oysters, shellfish, and other offerings from the shore. Our caviar can be paired perfectly with your choice of cocktail, champagne, or vodka. At our bar, enjoy exciting craft cocktails and a wine list with a special focus on European wines and bubbles. Our Certified Sommelier has crafted a perfectly curated list of wines from Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, and more. As a tribute to our roots, we have repainted and restored the vintage exterior signage, which is a nod to the location’s opening in 1987 as Little Pappas Seafood House. Chef Ryczek takes every opportunity to elevate and surprise guests. The team at Little’s takes pride in presenting a concept to Houston that’s new and refreshing – fine dining but not stuffy. Extremely high quality in all areas, yet comfortable. Just like Houston. Come to Little’s Oyster Bar – we have a seat waiting just for you.

    I discovered this restaurant at the Houston Chronicle Top 100 Culinary Stars event, and it turned into one of the most fabulous dining experiences I’ve had in Texas. The food was exceptional, and the service was on par with the Ritz Carlton Gold Standard. The entire team supporting Kekoa delivered a level of hospitality that stood out immediately. Thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely warm throughout the evening. I fell in love with the scallop chowder, with each bite somehow more delicious than the last. Pair that with the sourdough bread service, complete with spirulina salt and butter, and it became a moment I’m still thinking about. By the end of dinner, I was happily full and had to skip dessert, though they looked incredibly tempting. This is a place I would return to any day now that I’ve made this discovery. The service left such an impression that I found myself talking about it with friends long after the meal. Bravo to the entire team.

    Top notch service, food, and cocktails. The staff training is amazing, they are there to help you in any way they can. Not stuffy service but high level and friendly. The food is all out of this world but of course you will pay for it. Personally love the oysters and the grouper.
