Overall, I had a great time with my group. The restaurant was fairly quiet. The patio area seemed to have more patrons. Service was pretty good. The young man (African American, but I forgot his name) that helped me and our group was wonderful. He was attentive and patient with our group. The young woman that was assisting him was very helpful as well. My only concern with her was all the touching of the lemons she served patrons on the patio. Apparently the bartender put a lemon slice on one of the glasses. She put the remaining slices on the glasses, and then decided to take them off. It was just odd to see so much touching!‍ Outside of this, the food was amazing and reasonably priced. I felt my bill would have been much higher for the quality of the food , and the food presentation. Additionally, patrons with larger mobility aids will have a tight squeeze at the entry., and exiting to go to the restroom. But once inside all is well. read more

I think they make decent food and drinks here. The proximity to terry hersey walking trail is also a positive. Its got a romantic vibe at night and parents like to bring their kids here during the day due to the patio and play area. My only gripe with this place is that they charge an extra 3% if you use a credit card. I wasn't aware until they charged my card and I saw it in the receipt. I would have been less annoyed knowing this prior to dining here. I don't wanna write this place off because of that but now knowing it why would I pick here vs other places that don't do this? So not sure I will be coming back here again over $1.64. read more

This restaurant was participating in Houston restaurants week so I decided to give them a try and was very disappointed with both the service and the food. We came in on Tuesday evening, it wasn't very busy, but service was so slow. It took a while for a server to come out and we had to ask on three separate occasions for bread, which didn't come out until our entrées came out. And the bread was bad, very dry and the flavor was not great. For Appetizers, I got the calamari and my friend ordered the cauliflower. The calamari was OK. Pieces were a bit small and overcooked, but it wasn't terrible. The pomegranates added a nice kick of freshness to the dish. As for the cauliflower, it was OK nothing crazy. I found the black olives and Parmesan to be a bit of a weird add to the dish. It just didn't make the dish look appetizing to be honest with you. To drink, I got the spicy mango margarita which was very watered down. The mango taste was very slight, and the jalapeño seeds kept getting stuck in my straw. It wasn't that great of a drink. For entrées, we both ordered the lamb chops which came with truffle risotto, and asparagus. When our plates came out, you can immediately see the difference in quality. My plate looked bad, fatty, not seared. My friend's plate looked beautiful, way better than mine. And we both asked for them to be cooked the same way. The lamb was good, but not great. The asparagus was good but the risotto was not it. When you take the first bite, you get hit with an intense truffle taste, but as you keep eating the risotto, the flavor disappears, very bland. The risotto wasn't creamy either, it was dry. I think they only drizzled the truffle on top of the risotto so that's why the first bite was so intense with truffle flavor. For dessert, we ordered the crème brûlée and the Pazooki, both items were BURNT, VERY BURNT!!! I don't know how the chef looked at these items and said it was OK to send out. Overall, for the service and food quality, I was not impressed nor would I recommend my friends to come eat here. Also they charge a liquor tax? Not worth it for the drinks in my opinion read more

Sunday HRW Brunch with my friend Ronald S. District 7 was our very first HRW for 2025. Short story: -1 Absent host. -1 Appeared to seat the people who walked in with me, who arrived after my friend been waiting to be seated with menus. -1 Server came to table after 4, (-1) told us we couldn't order brunch. (-1) Good cold temp. (-1)Cold syrup and (-1) Hair and food. No discount solution given even after mentioned (-1) (only dessert, which we decline several times, & was not good either) I called ahead of time to confirm brunch hours. Till 4 PM. Great. Ron arrived before me, we were on the phone the entire time of his travel and arrival. While being OTP till I walked in, I spoke to a host who was talking about nothing retraining to business outdoors and west menus and to be seated, my friend Ben waiting so long he was not aware if he was supposed to seat himself out not. No one acknowledged him. A older host sat a couple who arrived after us while he's been waiting, even after being notified. We felt ignored and dismissed. Which day a nasty tone. But we were hungry and happy to explore the menu. The young host I spoke to outdoors from the patio walked in to seat us. The table needed to be wiped down, she did that and gave us menus. I like that she provided HRW menus without request from us. We were ready to ordered prior to arriving. She said we had to wait for our server and she couldn't take the orders. So I thought: (wtf She was outside talking to the guy at tide table so long for if you not allow to take meal orders). We were ready and Waiting, seems like they were waiting till 4 to come take the orders She gets there, I started spilling out my order, she stop me to say BRUNCH IS OVER, you can't order that. "While we were here before the end of brunch, no one was here at the door to greet or sit us. He was waiting to be seated with menus, and they sat people who arrived after him, after he didn't even know how the establishment operate and if he was supposed to sit his self or wait. And then we tried to order with the host who sat us with menus, she said we had to wait for the server and you don't show until after four. We've been waiting for over 10 minutes. We've been knowing what we wanted before we even arrived. We only came for brunch." She confirmed, came back said we can order we did. The Mac and cheese on the waffle was cold. I asked for hot syrup, which didn't come out until I was on my last bite of my waffle. And I had to call someone else and asked them, which took forever. And it was only about 4 tables occupied in the place. Not busy at all. After she deliver our plates she didn't come back and check on us until we were on the last bite. I couldn't tell her about the cold mac & cheese, I couldn't tell her about the hair on my plate. Or that she forgot my warm syrup or that I needed another one The manager John came to visit I showed him the hair he removed it with the quickness . His solution was to offer a dessert that neither one of us wanted it after experience that we had and that I shared detailed by detail. John kept offering a dessert continuously and I was trying to give it to my friend and he didn't want it either. We were good on the dessert but John was like you know we could take it to go, I was like OK my friend mentioned that he would've did the carrot cake so I did the carrot cake & Try to give it to him. He refused trying to carrot cake later on that evening. It had nuts and raisins in it. It wasn't good. It wasn't my cup of tea, but John was like whenever you come back you can always get a dessert on me. This was sweet, but this didn't fix this visit. This was not a solution to the multiple problems we experience on this visit. This does not encourage me to come back. read more

This spot was very quiet for a Saturday afternoon during brunch time. Not a complaint because me and my party of 4 walked in and were immediately seated, orders taken and drinks served. Out of everything we ordered, it was great. My son had shrimp and grits, daughter had French toast and the best friend had a steak cooked medium. Every plate was cleaned. I also had a mimosa flight and it was great! I will be coming back to this gem. read more

I enjoyed a braised short rib pappardelle here on a semi-busy Monday lunch. The dish itself came with ample meat and noodles, though I personally could have done with slightly more mushroom. Complimenting it was the mushroom cream sauce, which was plentiful and suited the dish nicely. The ambiance of this restaurant makes it perfect for a work or post-walk meal. While parking can be tight, there is ample street parking available nearby. Service was good as well. Overall, I would recommend this place particularly for folks in the area looking for a work get together spot . read more

They have a liquor tax ...To some people this might be a deal breaker but just FYI I don't know how this place has a 2 dollar sign. In my opinion, the food cost is way higher vs the quality. At these prices you could easily go to city center and enjoy a meal there. However, you might be paying for convenience since it is nestled quietly in the neighborhood. I will give it that when it's slow you get extremely good service, but we've seen it also busy and they get sloppy. read more

The service was great. I will say our sever was amazing and he would really flourish working somewhere else. Only other good thing is the gulf oysters were fresh.

Came here to grab a quick lunch and had a pretty good time. It was a nice day so we sat outside but it was also pretty packed inside, so I would suggest getting there a bit early to get a table. We got to try a few different items, including the crawfish hush puppies and the paella. I didn't personally try this, but my friend got the loaded Mac and cheese and it looked pretty worth it! The paella was a decent size and came with plenty of seafood. It was a touch under seasoned but I still enjoyed it! Service was decent, and same with pricing for today's standard. read more

I sat at the bar around 3 pm and there was barely any customers. I ordered the pancetta shrimp carbonara which needed more salt. There was a good char on the shrimp, but salting food is pretty basic. Near the end of my meal, there was 2 groups of about 8-10 people who came in and that's when my server completely ignored me. I'm still the only person at the bar, so it was pretty easy to see me. All I needed was the check, and for him to charge my credit card. It took a long time to get his attention just to give me the check. And then he never came back again. I even asked a gentlemen behind the bar, which I assumed he was a bartender since he was making drinks, if he could get my server because I just need to pay the bill. I don't know if he told the server but I was waiting so long that I had to get up and take my bill to the server. He then said "oh my gosh, I'm sorry" which means he completely forgot about me. I don't think anyone should have to get up and walk to a server just for them to swipe my credit card. I still don't know why the other guy behind the bar couldn't do it himself either. read more

District 7 - Pancetta Shrimp Carbonara Lunch - American Near Me - Houston, Texas

if it wasn't true it'd be laughable... We arrived at 5:15 for a 5:30 large party birthday reservation. That didn't exist. We selected our own table, which was nice. 3 of us had arrived early. Around 5:25 we were asked if we wanted drinks, by the same person who had sat us 10 min before. We were 1 of 3 tables at the time. We ordered espresso martinis. The rest of our large party arrived. We waited another 15ish min with no greeting. Finally, we flagged down the waiter to order drinks. He took a couple orders and said "anyone else want anything". Yes it's a table of 15, we all do. He took everyone's order - except us 3 who were still waiting. He then turned around and grabbed the martinis...and couldn't remember who had ordered them. Then we wait another 10 min and flag him down right before the 6p cutoff for HH. We order our HH food and he says "sorry the computer says it's after HH". We ask to talk to the manager. We find out the "manager" is the bartender. He never comes out from behind the bar but approves an override for the HH food. We continue to order with sporadic service - the food comes out wrong, the wine that is part of the HH food + bev order doesn't show, or is hot, or we are told was not actually part of theHH menu, etc. Drinks are coming out one. By. One. Even for the same drink order. 2 apps and a pizza never show up. We finally close out (as a single tab) and over $200 is mis labeled/never arrived. No manager ever came to a single table, including ours. We were there for over 3 hours as a party of 15 and never interacted with a manager or saw one walk the floor. read more

Unfortunately EVERY time I try to give this place another chance. They disappoint in the worst way. Ordered a pizza to go.....and it's quite literally inedible! The entire bottom Was soaking wet and soggy. If the ingredients on an item soaked the pizza like this I would think the cook time would be higher or it would just be cooked on a different crust. Not sure how much different the pizza taste with dine in, but this was absolutely terrible!!! Trying to pick up a "piece" caused the whole thing to just fall apart. Time & money= wasted!!! read more

I was craving for oysters and I was glad this place has reasonable pricing. Very nice interior and ambience. I got the mixed oyster. The Gulf oyster were huge and filled my mouth. The East oyster were smooth and good as well. The grilled lemon garlic oyster were grilled perfectly. I loved the smoky taste and the cheese added a nice texture. The taste was light enough where you can still taste the oyster and not overwhelming that you just taste the cheese. It was a good balance. The hush puppies was a hit and miss. I was not expecting for it to come with kale. Weird combo. Unfortunately the hush puppies was dry and bland. The sauce that came with the hush puppies was a weird sour vinaigrette taste? It didn't seem like it was a good pairing. Keep it simple and should come with either melted butter, ketchup, tarter sauce or even ranch. However surprisingly the bed of crispy kale was yummy. I love kale and with a sprinkle of salt it's kale chips. As I got to the bottom there was a sweet sauce which elevate it with a nice yummy flavor. I enjoyed it a lot. Forget the hush puppies, give me the garnish that comes with it lol. Maple salmon - If you want something on the healthier side I'd say this will be a decent option. However I didn't taste any maple and the salmon lacks flavor. In fact the whole dish lack seasoning. My bf disagree and think it was decent but could also use a bit more seasoning. Another reason for the 3 star is because my waiter didn't give the best customer service. Very subpar service. Not much interaction and didn't give a friendly vibe. The service is part of the dining experience and he didn't give us an enjoyable atmosphere. I would come back for the grilled oyster hands down and the Ghost in the Machine IPA beer was super good and only place I know that has this. read more

UNHAPPY LOYAL CUSTOMER Hi guys! Let's get into this review! I love that they cook my food in olive oil, big plus!! The food is delicious, the staff is friendly... Now that I've gotten all of the subtleties out of the way...tonight I ordered the same thing I always get, brussels sprouts and broccolini, the broccolini is good, it's consistent, but the brussels sprouts were dry, I took them back, got another batch, they were dry as well (which means they're OLD), and they didn't put the almonds on them...I don't have time to go back AGAIN to get the almonds!!! I'm really disappointed...I didn't get what I paid for...the food would be more consistent if they had a rubric to follow, since they have more than 1 cook...I shouldn't have to be concerned with the quality or consistency of my food every time I order from this establishment. Questioning if I should return... ADDENDUM: they didn't cook my food in olive oil this time, as I requested, and my stomach was TORN UP ALL NIGHT!!!! I'M DONE!!!! read more

Cute restaurant on a quiet street. You wouldn't know it was there unless looking for it. For inside seating, reservations are highly recommended. We didn't have one so had to sit outside and it was very windy. In the beginning service was very slow until our server switched and we got James instead and he was very on point! He checked on us often and gave us updates on our food. The kitchen service was still pretty slow. For appetizers we tried the grilled oysters and crawfish hush puppies. The hush puppies came in a bed of crispy kale and was delicious. It got demolished before I got to take a picture. We ordered different entrees and let each other taste. Everything was good and well seasoned except for the braised short beef pasta. That dish needed more flavor. The pizza dough was great! Overall, it was a good dining experience. Will give it another go again. read more

Our server (I can't remember her name unfortunately) was so good!!! She's a shorter light haired girl, if you see her just.. ask for her! Lol. Our cocktails were okay, not very flavorful but not bad (margarita and Moscow mule), the appetizer stole the show though. Had the salmon and kale bruschetta! I will literally go back just for this lol. The 3 stars is for the main courses unfortunately:( (would give 3.5 if possible!) I got the chipotle stuffed chicken and the sauce was just... not good. It was thin and watery and tasted sweet instead of spicy. The cook of the chicken and broccolini were great! But the mashed potatoes were very salty. My friend had the maple glazed salmon and the closer she got to the center the less it was cooked and the less flavor it held. It was unfortunate because the outer sides of it were very good!! (I may have tried it, lol). Overall the service and apps made this a great experience. Otherwise I don't think we would come back. Maybe we'll just make this a cocktail and app place! read more

I was very excited when I started looking at the menu because they have a wide variety, with fun and unique options. However, when we started eating our meals the food just seemed a little off from what we expected. The braised beef mac n cheese had very dry meat, the beef shawarma tacos had a strange texture and consistency, and the calamari was very soft and flimsy. I could just be nitpicking but it seemed like both of us just kept getting thrown off. read more

What an absolute joke of an establishment, and management. I did love my server though, he did everything correctly, went in for brunch, decided to try the filet, "medium rare" now I'm no grill master, nor am I a connoisseur, but this is 100% near RAW. I had no prior issues sending it back, until the manager came back acting full of himself, saying "You ordered medium rare! this is medium rare?" I'm not sure if he has taken any classes on hospitality, or general management, but horrible experience. In all my years of eating steak, filet especially, I've never felt more remorse for a cow than this, even worse that the manager on duty can't correct the issue without creating an argument to defend himself and acting like he's in the right until I SHOW him a picture of what medium is supposed to look like. Don't come here for steak, breakfast is also sub-par at best, many other better options in the area. I came into this establishment October 16th, roughly 12-1PM. read more

I found out about this place when I read somewhere about their Braised Beef Mac so I knew I had to go! It was everything I had hoped for! The beef was flavorful, melt in your mouth kind of stuff. The mac itself was rich and creamy. This place is located on the first floor of an office building. Very nice decor with an outdoor area as well. Corn hole was set up too! We sat inside and ordered some cocktails - highly recommend the Japanese Old Fashioned. We started with a nicely presented Charcuterie Board - perfect to share with a group of four with lots of variety. For our entrees, three in our group ordered variations of the burger special that came with jalapeno, poblano pepper and red pepper mixed in the meat, as well as on top. Was thinking it would be spicy but it wasn't at all. The brie cheese it was topped with definitely tamed down the heat. We will be returning soon! read more

Don't place your order online because the staff doesn't monitor their ordering system. The website said it would take 30-45 minutes for my order to be ready. When I arrived, the staff asked me several times if I'd already placed my order (I had a text confirming the pick-up time), and then I was told that the order hadn't even been put in. "It will only take 10 minutes" turned into 22. They could have at least offered a beverage for the mess-up and inconvenience... I really want to like this place, but it's always something. One nice waitress came up to me at the end and offered me a beverage after seeing me waiting for a while. She was genuine and apologized and politely asked me to come back. Apparently she's the only staff member who understands customer service - and the only reason I would go back. What's worse is that the restaurant was practically empty. The manager just stood there doing nothing and didn't even bother to come and say anything. read more

I'd driven past this cute little place a few times and last night I decided to dine in, sadly I can only give this business 3 stars and I'll tell y'all why I always say this when I leave a negative or mediocre review bc I truly hate leaving bad reviews but "if you don't LOVE hospitality get out of the industry" Earlier in the day I had eaten a big lunch with friends but my boyfriend was hungry and I asked if he finally wanted to try district 7 We arrive at 915, they close at 10-1030 I believe so it wasn't super busy And we decide to sit at the bar We look over the menu everything read as if it were going to be amazing, I settle on white wine and east coast oysters and my boyfriends gets a pinot noir and a meats pizza Pizza definitely gets 4 stars it was super good But as far as my experience at the bar and my oysters I definitely felt ripped off by this business So the bartender (was way too "homie like" definitely wasn't as professional as I'd like (I'm also a bartender so this is why I'm saying this) but honestly just had a lack of knowledge and didn't seem to care about informing us on much So to my oysters, I am an oyster connoisseur literally I eat them atleast 3 times a week and I love love love trying oysters from all over the world ( Margeauxs, and my job liberty kitchen have a phenomenal selection) also being from New Orleans I know a gulf oyster when I eat it and I just don't care for the flavor anymore in my adulthood So I ask the bartender what's the name of these oysters and where are they from? Because I like to look up the flavor profiles, she didn't know and then wasn't proactive in seeking the knowledge so I asked her can you find out for me ? She comes back and only says they're from Rhode Island, so I'm guessing their oyster crates aren't labeled Then when I get my oysters they're huge gulf oysters and I didn't complain I just paid and tipped 20 percent but if I had been the bartender that night I would have gotten my manager brought out the proper oysters and apologized, I just truly felt like the bartender didn't give an f about my experience, I expressed to her after only eating 2 oysters that from the shell and flavor I can tell they're gulf oysters and she says "honestly the lady in the back doesn't read that well, she just heard oysters and put whatever" ..and you think that's appropriate to tel a patron? Why am I paying east coast oyster price for gulf oysters and if that's the case why not atleast recharge me for gulf oysters..needless to say I will not be returning but I sure would have loved to try that paella Good luck to this business read more
