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.
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
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.
I absolutely LOVE this restaurant! I've been coming here for about two years and the service is excellent every time. The manager John is spectacular! He treats us like his family and he is wonderful. The food at this restaurant is top tier! I always try something new each time to spice it up and it never disappoints. I HIGHLY recommend coming to this location for great food and customer service!
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.
Such a great spot. Very good food, great atmosphere and nice service. The pasta bowl I had was really nice and my husband had the pizza. Very delicious!! We will be back.
Great place!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Great service and the food is way better than expected. There is a something for everyone on the menu. New menus items "EASTEX" - picture attached of the Shawarma tacos. Great for sitting outside and ambiance. Overall excellent.
We were in for quick brunch. It was empty and we were sat immediately. Service was excellent. Our server was engaging and witty. Food came quickly and was hot. It was just as we ordered. We had a Mimosa, Belini, and latte and we finished them!

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
My son and I really enjoyed our meal here, the space it occupies, and the staff. That's a trifecta! The pizza is great, and we really enjoyed the charcuterie board. However, the charcuterie board was served on a pizza trey so I had to knock 1-star off for that. We will be back. 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

This location is a-little hidden from the main street (Memorial Dr.) which makes for it to be slightly less busy than neighboring restaurants. The atmosphere here is immaculate! They have a great outdoor seating area and a big yard for the kids to play. The food never disappoints here, salmon is always a go-to. District 7 is great for any occasion, from a casual brunch to formal dinner! read more
We got the Shrimp and Grits, and the Charcuterie board. The grits were wonderful and as you can see, the Charcuterie board was very pleasing. Now, on the the nitty gritty. So when my gf and I got there we noticed that it was crowded outside. At first we were a but sad, but that turned around as soon as we walked inside. It was totally empty and the decor was clean and beautiful. The wait staff were amazing and one masked superhero of a server was kind enough to take a picture of my gf and I. They all had great attitudes, which made our dinner even better. Thank you District 7 for an amazing evening. read more

We found this nice little restaurant today. The service was good, the food was very flavorful. I had the Osso Buco, but I have to say the Risotto was kind of a let down, it wasn't cooked all of the way. My wife's Braised Beef with Mac N Cheese was very tasty, the beef was very tender. Both deserts good. The drinks, very good, never had a godfather before, you gotta try it! read more

This place is nestled between which seems to be a commercial building or some apartments. A small spot right on the corner. I went here for a Saturday brunch around 10:30am. No crowd whatsoever. We got to sit in a booth looking the bar & kitchen. Service was ok, not great bit not bad either. It was weird because we were given a dinner and a brunch menu at 10:30 in the morning. The shrimp & grits was not on the brunch menu but was on the dinner menu, so I ordered that. I feel bad because I had low expectations on their food but was pleasantly surprised how good my meal was. The sauce had a little kick to it which I didn't mind. Smooth creamy grits it was good! My niece had the avocado toast (she said it was basic) We both ordered a cocktail which their Moscow mule was refreshing and delicious! I had a martini which was quite strong just how I like it. I'd recommend this place for a nice quiet weekend brunch. read more

A friend and I came here for dinner on a Friday evening, the place was relatively quiet with plenty of open seating available. We both ordered the paella, that seemed to be the number one item on the menu and for good reason. In the pictures it might not look like much but it is really substantial. The house Pinot Noir I would not recommend, not much taste there. They did not have a drink menu available. We were told a new cocktail list will be coming soon. That wasn't an issue my friend ordered a drink that she saw on a previous menu posted on Yelp. Overall we had a nice meal. Jessica was a very attentive server with high spirits. The location is a bit odd, located across from one of the entrances of Hershey Park. There wasn't anything else opened there that we noticed. I don't see myself returning here but it's a good place to come eat if you're in the area. read more

First impression when you walk up is that it's a very clean and relaxed atmosphere. The outside patio area is well appointed and comfortable looking. When you walk in, there's not a host station by the door. Two people were farther back at a register and invited us to sit anywhere. The high ceilings and cool lighting make the place feel inviting and open. The exposed concrete adds a very hip vibe to the place without feeling too "cold". Cesar was our server. He is excellent. Very friendly, knew the menu and had a fantastic memory. He advised us that it was still happy hour and knew what was on tap and what was not. Service was quick and the food was nice. The squid and octopus appetizer was so fresh! For the price I would have expected a little bit more, portion wise, but the quality was definitely there! We ordered mahi pasta, linguine seafood, and Pork Osso Bucco. None of the dishes disappointed! Every was prepared well and the pasta was cooked to perfection. It's obvious that someone in the kitchen really is paying attention and has a passion for what they're putting out. Refills were made on time and Cesar was attentive without being overbearing. A manager also visited our table as well to check on the meal. They are taking precautions for COVID and have plenty of sanitizer stations around the restaurant. Will definitely be back to explore the menu. read more

Came here for Sunday brunch with my husband, and we were not disappointed. The food was excellent! Everything tasted soooo good! I had the Big Breakfast and subbed my pancakes with French toast, and my hubs had the chicken and waffles. We also got the mimosa flight, in all the flavors, and each one was delicious. Definitely coming back here, especially since it's close by read more

I had the braised beef Mac n cheese for lunch. The serving amount was enough for lunch and dinner. The taste was pretty good as well. I've also had the shrimp and grits and the pesto chicken sandwich when I visited two other times. I would recommend anyone to give District 7 a try if you are in the Energy Corridor area. read more

OMG what more needs to be said!!!!! Place is awesome. Service was wonderful and food was so damn delicious. Only knock is where it's located but hey it didn't take away from the nice decor. We went for my birthday breakfast and sat outside as it was nice and cool. Waiter was great even after we ordered something wrong he did not hesitate to change it and got it out to us quickly. The outdoor sitting area is very simple but elegant and dog friendly.The banana stuffed French toast is so good. It is a perfect combo with the bacon and eggs. read more

Food was delicious. The only thing we didn't like was the service, it was a bit slow. But everything was cooked fresh and they used fresh ingredients. My daughter loved that they made their own pasta. read more
Updated review based on service. Our server must have not been having a good morning since he had little to no energy when serving us. He spoke very softly, almost a mumble, making it very hard to hear. The music was not loud nor was the party next to us. one of the menu items gave an option of fruit or grits and while one of my friends was deciding what to get, he left. It was a wild guess at that point what she was getting. He also was not wearing a mask while interacting with guests. That really made us feel like the restaurant is not taking precautionary measures to ensure a safe dining experience. Overall, the food was good but not sure I would feel entirely comfortable dining back considering the experience I had with this particular server. read more
The local oysters were a really good deal and tasted fresh! However, the crispy octopus and calamari were okay. The octopus leg was slightly crispy while the calamari was not and I guess I was under the impression that it would be fried. The pizza was cut super weirdly...some parts were just crust and the middle had no crust. Why not just cut it normally? If I were cut normally I think it would be pretty good read more

Had a family dinner and it was perfection. The staff treated us like royalty, the food is incredibly delicious, and the atmosphere was fun. A great treat to sit outside and enjoy a cocktail with an energetic ambiance. A special thank you to Diana who went above and beyond to make the experience more special - thank you. read more
