Little Death — Restaurant in San Antonio

When I walked in the place was empty minus Maryia and two I believe distributors. They were doing a tasting/having a meeting at one of the tables. I didn’t feel very welcomed and was soon disappointed as I felt I was disturbing their conversation. I explained I came out of state to try this place and one would think you would interact with your guest. Maryia did not do that. Just said “ that wall is the French selection and the other is everywhere else” then she sat down to continue her meeting. I was super annoyed because I was SO EXCITED and wanted to talk and learn about the wines they have. Fast forward to after they left Maryia was not busy so I kindly said “ hey just a recommendation, I wouldn’t hold those type of meetings while guests are present” well she DID NOT LIKE THAT. She then got offended by questions I asked her and ARGUED with me. Honey, we the guests PAY YOUR BILLS. Seriously I saw other reviews about her and confused on how she’s still working there as she is hurting the establishment. GUYS GO ELSEWHERE, LITTLE DEATH WAS AWFUL.

UPDATE: spoke to Chad( the owner) and he was also RUDE. He explained he did not believe me and Maryia is exceptional*. No customer service, little knowledge, and a nasty attitude is not exceptional. Lord half mercy… this place is going nowhere!!! So many other great places to...

I needed to buy a bottle of wine and walked in around 4pm on a Tuesday. Idk if they had just opened but a vendor was there and I understand having to receive the product and assist the vendor in placing it but one also assumes, they’d try to take care of any customers coming in. There were two of them there. I asked if they were open and the one who acknowledged me said yes and that was it. Nothing more. The other woman there didn’t even say one word. I walked around looking at the bottles. I didn’t understand how the pricing went or if there was a menu but considering the cold reception I got, I didn’t bother asking. Ive worked in Beer and Wine before and I always made it a point to approach all customers, especially if there was only one in the store. But nope, nothing. Not a “can I help you find something?” or a “have you been here before?”. I felt like I was an inconvenience to them. I ended up going to the Pullman Market instead to get wine. It’s unfortunate because they had an interesting selection and a cool looking place. But coldness only gets you so far. Either way, buying wine can be intimidating to people with limited knowledge and they just made the customer feel...

We’ve been here twice now and will continue coming back. They have a very extensive collection of wines that you can buy by the bottle and also have daily rotations of different things you can get by the glass. They are very helpful and good at helping you decide what bottle to get based on personal preferences. They also have a kind of make your own charcuterie board option where you can get different meats, different cheeses, olives, bread and butter, white beans, etc. both times we’ve been we’ve gotten there three cheese plate and all of the cheeses have been wonderful! The bread they serve with it is also nice and pillowy and flavorful.

We will definitely be recommending Little Death to others and be bringing more friends here in the future.

P.S. if you want more of a meal to go with your wine there are several restaurants you can get takeout from within walking distance that are excellent. They also have mostly outdoor seating so bringing food from other places is...
