    Mahi salad (i cut the mahi before taking picture)
    Gloria M.

    First time trying the mahi salad. It was refreshing and fish was perfectly cooked. I'll get this again.

    I got the Ahi Tuna flat bread with yam fries. First off I had the Ahi Tuna rare and not sure why its still very dry. I had it with yam fries and the portion of the yam fries was so little. The Ahi Tuna was ok. At the end of the meal there is free complementary ice cream. Not sure if I had too much ice cream or there is something wrong with the ice cream itself or the cone. Well I felt sick after having the ice cream. Luckily, I threw up and got whatever it was out of my system and was ok. I don't think I will be going back.

    No matter your palette D7 delivers with naan pizza, salads, burgers, pastas, fish and don't forget your free ice cream cone. I especially like trying there daily specials which usually is some tasty fish plate. The line always seems long, but it actually goes quick. Order your food, get a number, have a seat and wait for them to bring you your food. As packed as it gets I have never really had to wait for seating no matter how big our group.

    if my coworkers and I venture out this far to the tunnels and still haven't made a decision with other restaurants along the way, this is not a bad place to settle and get lunch especially for a big group. You look at the paper menus on the right when you enter the door and head over to the cashier to order. They give you a number and drinks are self serve. Service is fairly quick depending on what time you come, the menu has a variety of options and there's plenty of tables. The soft serve ice cream is a hit or miss regarding if the machine is working or not that day. I've been here several times and haven't had any qualms. They ran out of mahi-mahi when I was trying to order the blackened mahi-mahi salad and the cashier mentioned they can do red fish instead. I agreed to it and also asked they sub my romaine lettuce with spinach leaves with dressing on the side and they were accommodating. To my surprise the red fish was well cooked and great. As simple as the salad was, it satisfied my taste buds. The lemon garlic vinaigrette dressing was a nice touch to the overall salad and a good dip for my red fish. I have had the blackened mahi-mahi salad before and it was also tasty. I've also had the bison buffalo burger and it was decent. Overall this place isn't my go to when I'm having lunch downtown but it's one of my choices if the coworkers I'm with don't agree with my top choices.

    We visited the District 7 Grill tunnel location in the Kinder-Morgan building. Thankfully we arrived before the lunch rush and we had only a small wait which provided sufficient time to review the menu. The dining room has a lot of tables for 4 and was extremely clean. The staff was friendly and attentive. We dined on the Parmesan Crusted Chicken, Jumbo Lump Crab Cake, Tortilla Soup, Burgers. Everything was flavorful and cooked perfectly. I recommend stopping by if you find yourself in the tunnel and if not it is definitely worth the trip. While eating, the line extended out the door. Plan your visit accordingly, you won't regret it.

    Special (9/8/16) salmon with siracha, broccolini and quinoa. VERRYY good, healthy and fulfilling.

    I work downtown right off of Louisiana Street so this location is very close and convenient for me. The place gets VERY packed after 11:30 for lunch time (it seems to be a very popular spot for lunch) so be prepared to wait in a long line and hope to find a seat. You order at the counter and then run to reserve your table basically. The cashiers and servers are quick and well trained to handle the lunch time traffic. The first time I came I had a salad which I didn't like at all. I felt it was too plain and something I could've put together at home. I wouldn't recommend the salad, they look better than they taste. My second time I ordered the special, which was seared salmon with a siracha sauce with brocollini and quinoa. It was AMAZING! If this was a regular menu item I would be here every other day. The salmon was a big portion and so soft that it melted in my mouth. The burgers here are massive and very unique. The naan flatbread pizzas look very good, I plan to try one next time. The menu has a lot of appealing items. Overall it's a very good place to eat when you're downtown and don't want to eat typical fast good. The portions are very big and the prices are very affordable!

    I came to district 7 for lunch on a weekday. The line was out the door but moved a pretty good pace. The menu is full of pasta bowls, salad, pizza and sandwiches. I opted for the parmesan crusted chicken with pesto (option for marinara too). The plating of the dish was great, I was excited to taste it, and it was big portion as well. Thats where it went down hill, the food had no taste what so ever. Usually pesto sauces have a strong flavor and taste fresh, this sauce was very bland. I had to salt and pepper it to get some down. The chicken was also very greasy and all I could taste was the panko breading, none of the parmesean. The highlight of my meal was the free softserve ice cream... I wont be returning, at least to this locations, I'e heard the midtown location is better.

    Garden burger. Ehh.

    (*Edit* I've discovered you serve $2 breakfast tacos. And they're not terrible. Good job -you've been upgraded to 2.5 stars. ;p *Edit*) 3 chances and ya struck out District. The salad was the betterment of what you presented, but not as good as Corner Bakery or Alonti. I just can't throw that much money at you hoping one of your items is really worth it. For some reason I still want to try a pizza and burger. I require a coworker's bribe of free food to come back, though.

    Pepperoni and venison sausage with basil.

    This restaurant is located in the downtown tunnels and is great for lunch. They serve food that is cooked fresh, like salmon fillet with orzo (had that last time). My favorite dish is the pepperoni and wild boar pizza which comes with basil and pesto. There's always a long line, so take an early lunch or come after the crowd. The seats are first come, so if you have a group, scope the place while in line. They also offer complimentary ice cream for after your meal, but I'm greedy, so root beer float. Overall, if your client/boss insists on treating and you need to stay healthy, go here because there are many delicious options that don't expand the waist.

    I like this part of town and have been meaning to try them for lunch. The food is on the healthier side and is well priced. However, I do think the food could be seasoned a little more! Portions are large.

    Erick P.

    Good but a little overpriced for lunch. I heard about this place from a coworker and never even knew this place existed because it's definitely off the beaten path. I got the wild boar and Pepperoni pizza. I'm giving the food 3 stars but giving them an extra star for the free frozen yogurt. If they weren't so far off I'd come more often.

    Went here for lunch for the first time and was pleased. The portion size for the price is good. The blackened mahi pasta is very good!

When I stopped by on a weekday evening at 9pm it was packed. They had stations setup throughout the store to order different goods, which helped to alleviate the rush. Knafeh ($6) - They offered 2 types of knafeh, one with cheese and one with custard. I went with the one made with Nabulsi cheese and topped with shredded phyllo, and soaked in sugar syrup. It was warm, crispy and delicious! Karak tea ($5) - This milk tea drink was made with aromatic spices, primarily cardamom, cloves, ginger and cloves. I was happy to see they used whole milk instead of evaporated milk. The drink was incredibly rich and creamy and tasted great. Turkish delight ($18 / lb.) - This was extremely fresh, soft and chewy, made with cornstarch, sugar, nuts. Some of the varieties I tried had chocolate and/or fruits. The baklava here was fresh made with layers of phyllo dough, chopped nuts, and held together with some honey. The nut offerings here included, almonds, walnuts, peanuts and a few more. Overall I was impressed with everything they offered here with the exception of the nuts, which I thought were just ok. I'd definitely return if I was in the area.

The strawberry mousse cake was frozen solid, so I was not able to eat it right away but it was a lovely mousse with jelly fruit filling and a thick chocolate crust. Also got a bag of chocolates, which are weighed by the pound. The only qualm I have is that the chocolates are not labeled, so when you mix them all together, it truly is a bit of a Russian roulette on what you'll get. Everything was super yummy. Will definitely need to be back!

This is not a place you go to just have lunch or something.This place is an experience. Some adults might find joy in here (like I do), but my children definitely did, and that's worth it. They came here with the same excitement that they had for disneyland so I'm really happy about that. We all liked the harry potter experience and some different anime type experiences as well that my children liked. The foods and drinks are on theme and although it's not cheap, it's definitely not as much as Disneyland. We came on the weekends, but during lunchtime, and I can see how they might be really busy during the dinner rush. Sometimes you might need a timed entry to go in, but thankfully, we have not since we've been going. I will say that it's quite small and gets cramped really fast. I just think the experience of it all is a really cool and I'm happy we have fun places like this around us in Houston.

I ended up paying for fast passes (they do release free fast passes, but those get scooped up quickly, and I was able to pay $3 per ticket on eventbrite to snag fast passes). Our pass was for 1pm and we were inside by 1:10pm. They do reserve the tables initially for the fast passes, at least when we came in at our time and it was great because I couldn't imagine being here without a table since I had a group of little ones with me! The staff were super friendly and worked as quickly as they could. There was a little bit of stress because of volume of orders and people, but they did the best they could and handled the traffic well. We got a variety of drinks and each enjoyed them-- I will say, all of the drinks are on the sweeter side, but definitely standard for kids. We literally got one of everything on the menu and I wasn't able to grab photos before the kids enjoyed them, but that's the whole point! The add ons can become pricey, but for the enjoyment of your little ones, it's definitely worth it! For food, we got the Derpy spam rice, ramen and grilled cheese. The kids all really enjoyed it and definitely wanted to come back for the next pop up themed cafe!

Inside you will also find French pastries, coffees and teas, gelato, milkshakes, sandwiches and macaroons. I felt the most interesting items were the French pastries as they are cute and tasty as well. Also, they plate the pastries nicely when you dine in as an added bonus. I tried the Chocolate Royale and the Ruby. Chocolate Royale - a petit chocolate mouse slice with flat chocolate panels along the sides. It is delicate and tasty. If you're a chocolate lover, this is definitely up your alley. Ruby - visually this looks like a strawberry Hershey kiss, with red powder on the exterior and a top piece of foil to resemble foil on the wrapper of a hershey kiss. Inside, it's filled with a strawberry cream and has a chocolate base. I just wish there was more chocolate in this one. They have plenty of seating inside as well as along the sidewalk. Inside you have the more fancy tables, whereas outside, they're more weather resistant and not as upscale in appearance. The soft drinks to drink along with your sweets are in a cold case along the hotel side of the space and you just take them to the register as you order. One of the most surprising things when you come here are the relatively affordable prices as you might expect them to be more for being a coffee shop attached to a 5-star hotel with a helipad.

What's nudged this place up to 5 stars for me is they have really improved their coffee game, specifically their quality of cappuccino's. Previously it seemed more of latte, but now to me its a legit Capp. Their choice of pastries hasn't changed, which gives you a good assortment of choices and they have added an additional barista or server which also is a nice touch for service. The only niggling items, parking can be tough, so you'll have to either walk a block or be quick to find a place close by. Regardless, definitely give this place a go to come for a pastry and coffee.
