Editorial Review for Little Rhein Steakhouse – by Retha Oliver

The Scene
Part of the city's original settlement, La Villita, the Little Rhein also opens onto the Riverwalk. The location wasn't always such a good thing; the downstairs rooms were completely hidden by silt from river floods until the '50s. These days, the historic charm brings even locals into the heart of the city to celebrate. The limestone walls of the former home transform the Little Rhein into an intimate environment for great conversation and a good glass of wine.

The Food
A favorite for convention-goers on expense accounts, Little Rhein serves thick Texas steaks and hearty potatoes, as well as lamb chops, lobster tails and salmon. Accompaniments like asparagus and sauteed mushrooms and a nice wine list flesh out the carnivore binge most visitors come here for.

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

Wow, this place must cater to business conference suckers with big expense accounts. The prices are so outrageous for what you get that they're really comical! First, the menu is nearly all steak, so if you don't like steak, then you've got few options. The prices for these steaks are mostly in the $40 range. That of course, doesn't include anything. So a side of vegetables or potatoes is $8 - each! I was also very disappointed that they brought the wrong wine. I'm willing to pay the type of prices they charge here for someplace special - a place that has unique food that is well prepared. There is absolutely no value here.

Pros: Surefire way to exceed your expense account

Cons: Food, Value

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Food and service was wonderful. It was a Monday evening and there were no problems with seating. Atmosphere was quiet and cozy. I didn’t have anything from the wine list.

Pros: Wonderful Food and Service

Cons: Price
