Overall: 3.2/5 [dine in] We dined here for breakfast twice and dinner once since we had free breakfast and dining credit through Chase. The service was great but the food took forever to come out both times. If you want to eat by the pool you have to be a hotel guest and order to go. They also missed one of our side swaps and forgot to switch out the potato hash for fresh fruit. Iced Hazelnut Latte ($6.50) and Iced Vanilla Latte ($6.50): We got both with oat milk and they were equally tasty. Hangover Burger ($22): We ordered medium rare and it came out overcooked. The patty was so hard it was difficult to cut through and I had to drench mine in sauce because it was so dry. They cut it in half and served the sunny side up egg separately so the yolk wouldn't run, which was a thoughtful touch. The potato hash was okay but felt like unnecessary carbs. Sausage ($8): A side of 3 links that tasted like maple syrup since they were on the sweeter side. Short Rib Eggs Benedict ($24): The short rib was just okay and the hollandaise sauce was too thick, almost like the egg in it was overcooked. It also had a citrus aftertaste at first. The poached eggs were perfect though. Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict ($24): Way better than the short rib version. The smoked salmon wasn't fishy and they were generous with it. We swapped the potato hash for arugula salad which paired really well. Classic Omelette ($21): I got it with fresh eggs, chicken sausage, and all the veggies. I asked for pepper jack on the side since my husband is lactose intolerant but the cheese had a white powder on it so I skipped it. Without the cheese the omelette was a bit bland and I couldn't really taste the chicken sausage either. Tuna Poke Taco ($18): Came with two tacos. The tuna was soy marinated but they used too much and it was a bit salty with soy sauce dripping out of the taco. The tuna itself and everything else was good though. Half Dozen Oysters ($24): Served with a green apple champagne mignonette. Pricey but not bad. Shrimp and Basil Mint Pasta ($36): Came with 2 slices of sourdough that were just okay and felt unnecessary. The shrimp were tasty but the pasta was disappointing. Too much pasta, not cooked properly, and no veggies. The flavors were just okay too. Expensive for what was essentially a bowl of carbs. H-Town Henry ($18): Hennessy VS, lemonade, and sweet tea. Neither my husband nor I liked it much. It tasted like a watered down Hennessy drink.
THE BIG: Located in the lobby of the Thompson Houston. Indoor seating along with an expansive outdoor patio area that has foldable glass doors to bring in all the fresh air. Garage parking available. THE BLACK AND WHITE: The wife and I was staying at the Thompson and had our two month old son with us. It was our first time bringing him out. Most of the seating is chairs and tables, however in the back there are booths that we were able to have him stretch out. Food wise, we got the omelete, granola, and chicken and waffles. All were pretty decent, nothing blew my mind. Service was also a miss with our food slow to come out and general waiting of the table even when the place wasn't packed. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall, the food was decent. We spent around $60 for everything. I wouldn't go out of my way to have the food but the view and the patio vibes are definitely a must visit.
We missed the breakfast and decided to come down for lunch before checking out. Their drink menu had lots of selections. We ordered the Hisbiscus Margarita and the Spritz del sol, which made with casamigos blanco, pineapple, lime, and jalapeno. Both drinks were delicious. I had the Jumbo lump crab cake, which came with spicy aioli, argula salad, and truffle fries. It's really fullfilling, the spicy aioli was amazing. But the crab cake itself was abit too salty and the flavor felt slightly overwhelming. We also got the Carne Asada, which came with marinated carne asada, aaroz verde, charr roasted pepeprs, onions, and flour tortillas. The carnae asada was cooked perfectly, juicy and tender, with spot on flavor. Highly recommended!
Came for happy hour after checking in for my stay cation at the Thompson hotel.Hostess seemed very flustered as she was going back and forth prior to seating the guest before me. We waited a while for her to find an "available table" even though there were about 7 open ones. I was here to relax so no biggie. One thing that was weird is she seemed to be unaware of the happy hour so it's best to do your research and ask. My servers tag teamed and both were well versed on the menu items. I had the crab cakes with asparagus and fries. For drinks I had the strawberry daiquiri and margarita. Everything was good.
I really wanted to do the whole rooftop bar thing but it was 92 out and felt like 102, so no thanks. Went with indoor seating but still wanted a view, and this place nailed it. It wasn't busy, so we had no trouble getting a table. Service was friendly, our waiter was great, and everyone else on staff seemed nice too. We ordered ahi tacos, oysters, fries, and a crab cake. Fries were super crispy and seasoned just right. Oysters were way milder than what I'm used to from the Pacific, but still fresh. The tacos were a little messy but tasty, and the crab cake was flavorful without being heavy. We tried to order lava cake, but they were out, so we ended up with some kind of mousse dessert--good enough. Drinks were solid. I had an espresso martini and a "verde" and both were lovely. The view is gorgeous, the vibe is kind of fun and edgy, and it felt like a perfect spot for a date night. Would definitely go back when I'm in the mood for something with a view but don't want to melt outside.
Sol 7 is located inside the Thompson Hotel. We visited for breakfast on a weekend morning. The food was tasty but expensive! They have plenty of vegetarian options for breakfast. We ordered the avocado toast and omelette. The avocado toast was unique and the sauce combination was delicious. We chose to sit outside for a view. It was a hot summer day but the fans running outside helped with the heat.
I chose Sol7 from its OpenTable reviews and great view of the Houston skyline as it was mine and my coworkers last evening in the area. We arrived to a beautiful high rise building; very excited to see this is where we would be dining, as we had drove past this building multiple times while traveling for work. Parking was a bit challenging, but we found a spot relatively close in a self park lot. We went up the restaurant and were greeted by the hostess who was shuffling back and forth helping the various customers arriving. We were seated at probably the worse table in the outside seating area. When I noticed there were multiple tables open with an actual view (not behind a giant pillar), the hostess (Andre) said the only options were this table or inside tables. When I inquired about the open tables with a view, he proceeded to tell me those were "for guests that had specified a view table in their reservation". Me, knowing I had specified such seating in my OpenTable reservation, started to pull my phone out and verbally said "yes, that is what I requested with my reservation." Andre then replied to me stating "This is the table you will be dining at this evening!" in an unpleasant, sharp tone without giving me time to show him the reservation on OpenTable. My colleague and I settled into our seats rather astounded by the treatment by Andre, we were greeted by our wonderful waiter, Nick, who took our drink and appetizer order. Nick had my colleague and I keep our menus, as we were not sure what entree we would be ordering yet. A few minutes passed, my colleague and I had set our menus on the table, and Andre re-appeared at our table abruptly. I greeted him with the best smile I could muster up, and he asked "If we had been helped yet?" I responded with "Yes, Nick is taking care of us". Andre then asked "Have you been able to order?" I responded, with "Yes, we have placed our order for drinks and appetizers." Andre then responded with "Well, are you done with your menus?" I responded "No, we have not placed our order for our Entree yet." Visibly annoyed, in an aggressive and annoyed tone Andre responded with "Well that's what I was asking!" and he stormed off. Again, rather stunned, my colleague and I found this "hospitality" quite unpleasant and completely uncalled for. Luckily, Nick reappeared a few moments later with our drink order and appetizers. We were able to place our order with Nick for our Entree's and handed him back our menus (I hope that they made their way back to Andre...?) On a positive note, I would highly recommend the "H-Town Tea". Also the Salmon was delicious, perfectly cooked and flavored with the right amount of spices. There was also live music, which was a pleasant surprise. It was very disappointing though to be treated in a poor manner by the hostess, Andre. I'm well aware that customer service jobs are exceedingly challenging, but to be aggressive and unpleasant to communicate with is totally unacceptable by staff that should be interested in making your dinning a positive experience.
Rating: 2.5 Stars My friend and I stayed at the Thompson Hotel on a Thursday night. We ordered room service from here on Thursday night and got breakfast the next morning. Room service: Was quite fast. Food itself was ok. I got a couple items I shared with my friend: COBB SALAD: Lots of toppings but was a bit bland and lacking on dressing especially with how much lettuce was given. Their bacon was really good though. CLUB SANDWICH: Also quite bland for some reason. Bread was also not toasted and the meat was dry. Definitely could have been a lot better. DUCK FAT FRIES: The fries were so good and well seasoned. Highly recommended. For our breakfast in the morning, we went to Sol 7 in person. The service at the restaurant was quite lacking. There were only three tables filled during the whole time we were dinning but everything took so long. None of the servers were available when we needed anything, they stayed in the back the whole time. Food itself also took a long time to come out. When we got the food, I ended up finding a hair in my potatoes which was unfortunate... For food I had: FRUIT SALAD: Pretty large bowl of seasonal fruit. It was nice! Just wish the coconut chips it came with were more flavorful. BREAKFAST SANDWICH: Very flavorful and tasty. There was something in the sandwich that leaked a lot of fluid though so the sandwich itself got a little soggy but otherwise was a solid option. My friend got an omelette and they said it was unfortunately very bland and not filled with ingredients. Skip the omelette. All in all, the food choices can be quite hit or miss and it would be nice if service could be better. At least if staff could be more easily available for customers that would be nice.
Solid. They seemed overwhelmed/understaffed for Cowboy Carter weekend. Service was slow to order and slower to arrive. Coffee went cold several times. There was also variance in preparation day-to-day: my sister had the turkey club and said it wasn't the described roast turkey and I took a chance ordering it the next day and mine was much better. The ambiance is great, and the outdoor views are lovely!
Here today! I joined my coworker for breakfast at Sol 7 while we wait to pick up our passengers. Nice, quiet ambiance vibe if you're there on business. My take on the menu is it's great if you're wanting to watch your calorie intake, grab a quick bite and charge it on the company credit card - which I did tehehe. If your on a date, it won't appear your a food fatty :) There's an option to enjoy outdoor seating, however it was too windy this morning :( Waitstaff was excellent and they all help make your dining experience pleasant by attending to every table not just their section. Here today. Yelp at'cha tomorrow!
The food was really good. And sitting outside was great with a nice breeze could get a little too windy but we didn't mind it. Great views. The service seems short staffed, the delay was unreal for everything. I mean we had to flag people down for silverware, ordering, and the check. They must be short staffed...just can't think of anything else.
What an experience! My daughter took me for a surprise lunch. Sol 7 is a rooftop experience at the Thompson Hotel. This is a hidden gem. We were seated promptly and ordered appetizers and drinks. They were very delicious! However...we had to ask for plate covers because the breeze was literally blowing my salad off my plate. There's a nice view of the pool and the cityscape. I ordered the steak and fries. It was cooked perfectly (medium), but had little seasoning. The sauce was lightly flavored as well, and my fries were barely warm. My daughter however ordered the salmon and arugula salad. It was amazing!!! The crab cake we ordered was also delicious!!! Lunch was very relaxing. Our bill was a little steep at $180, but a good lunch can be had at much less. Meals were reasonably priced. Our four drinks raised the bill for sure. Service was great. Upon leaving I stopped at the restroom. Maybe my drink was effecting me, but I couldn't locate an accessible stall. I didn't see any clear signage or could determine by door size. It's probably there, I just didn't see it. At any rate, this is definitely a spot I'd return to. PS: It cost to park.
Stopped by Sol 7 inside the Thompson Hotel for Houston Restaurant Weeks and tried their 3-course lunch/brunch for $25. For the price, it was definitely a nice little brunch deal! I started with the Caesar salad, which was fresh, creamy, and had a generous amount of Parmesan and crunchy breadcrumbs. For my entrée, I went with the Turkey Club with truffle fries. The sandwich was stacked with turkey, bacon, lettuce, cheese, and all the classic club fixings. The truffle fries were the highlight for me. Crispy, flavorful, and loaded with Parmesan. Of course brunch called for mimosas , and we definitely enjoyed a couple of those! Dessert was the bread pudding topped with vanilla ice cream, caramel, and pecans. It was warm, rich, and sweet, and the ice cream melting over the top made it even better. The Thompson is beautiful, so the atmosphere definitely adds to the experience. Overall, I enjoyed my visit, but nothing completely blew me away. Still, $25 for three courses during Houston Restaurant Weeks is a pretty solid deal, and it was a nice way to check out Sol 7. read more
Kind service and a great hotel lobby ambiance with a great view of downtown Houston. The salad we got was excellent maybe one of the best arugula salads I've had. The chicken sandwich is solid. Only issue was the chicken was a bi my dry and the bun was over toasted but flavor was great. The BLT was also one of the best I've had. The MVP of the lunch was the French fries wow they were great. Overall one of the best hotel restaurants I've been in!! Highly recommend. read more

Dined in for a surprise birthday dinner. Our server was attentive and timely. Due to the temperature drop, we were unable to dine outside but the inside seating area was nice. The crab cake and Calabrian chili bucatini were delicious. The bar provided us a complimentary champagne in lieu of a birthday dessert which I appreciated. This is a great spot for a casual dinner or happy hour. read more
Finally got a chance to try this rooftop out and loved it! The views are amazing! Food- Everything we tried was pretty good ! The garlic duck fat fries were seasoned well and the gulf shrimp & calamari fritto misto was delicious. I had the wagyu smash burger and my friend had the main lobster roll. Everything we tried did not disappoint. Based off our server's recommendations, we drank an Act I and Lights out. Definitely worth it and refreshing! Will be back again read more

I celebrated my 50th this past Saturday at Sol 7 (located on the 7th floor of The Thompson Hotel). Olia is an amazing event coordinator and the service, food and entire evening was flawless! The chef prepared 4 amazing appetizers - blue cheese / fig tarts, quail poppers, Paella arancini & Spanakopita! Our bartender was AMAZING and she went out of her way to serve our guests. We treated our guests to high end bubbles, white & red wine, French 75s and a variety of beer. When she was not busy she circulated and offered drinks to the the guests. For our late party munchies Sol 7 prepared a slider bar of burgers, brisket and all of the condiments! The truffle fries were perfectly crisp and loved by EVERYONE! Our event began in the library and included a reserved space on the patio of Sol7. The views of downtown were incredible and made for great photo ops! I was surprised by a few of the reviews as we had excellent service and the food was delightful. I do know that they have very recently created a new menu and the restaurant is now managed by the Thompson. It was previously operated by a third party. SO, don't base your decision to go on older reviews! You will be pleasantly surprised. Enjoy a nice cocktail or two and enjoy the spectacular view of Houston! We stayed at the hotel for the night as did a few other couples that were guests at our party. We all had a FABULOUS experience. The hotel is perfectly decorated and of stunning simplicity. Our room faced the city with floor to ceiling windows. Enjoy this Houston stay! read more
On Sept 5, 2025, Me and my family wanted to go out to celebrate all the Virgo's in our family! So, my sister-in-law made reservations for us to attend. The food was pretty good ,but the only bad thing is my brother-in-law didn't get his food. And, that's not cool. But, they try to make his order ,but everyone had already eaten. So, he decided not to eat there. The waiter was good ,but I think they was not really prepared for a large party on that night. But, they did give us complimentary Bday desserts. The ambiance was amazing...they had live entertainment on the outside while we dine. Maybe, I'll come back on a date night and try them again! read more
The Thompson hotel got this one right!! Sol is a stunning restaurant bar! The vibe is upscale and the views are totally worth the visit! (Also overlooks the pool) - the food did not disappoint, snapper ceviche (sweet potato chips) and Lobster roll stole the show. - bartenders whipped up custom cocktails and nailed it. We also did the espresso Martini. - Try the " Greenlight" cocktail! It maybe a Mezcal cocktail but you can barely taste the mezcal. Super refreshing too. I got mine with tajin, usually served with a salt rim. Highlight - Rigatoni ( brisket bolognese !!) read more

Is there a better way to spend brunch than on a rooftop overlooking Houston's downtown skyline? I couldn't think of one either. This is my second time checking out a restaurant at the Thompson Hotel, which is one of the newer hotel properties in Houston, and it didn't disappoint yet again. From the cocktails and food to the friendly servers, this restaurant made for a wonderful brunch experience. I would highly recommend partaking in the cornbread and eggs benedict - two of my favorite things. As you can imagine, this place gets pretty packed fast, so I would suggest making reservations as far in advance as you can. Something to note: The hotel offers complimentary valet for the restaurant so be sure to let the hostess know, so your parking can be validated. read more

I was staying at the Thompson and needed a light afternoon meal, so I decided to check out Sol 7. You have to go up the elevator to find it and it's to the right of the hotel lobby. The interior is modern and classy. We sat at the bar but there are regular tables available. There's a wide selection of cocktails, liquor, and wines. My friend and I both ordered Cobb salads with dressing on the side. I added chicken and she added steak. The salad alone is $17 which is already pricey and I t's an additional cost to add a protein. So expect to spend around $30 for a salad and protein. Don't get me wrong, it was delicious but very expensive. I ordered a wine from one of the bartenders and it seemed he forgot about it, but I figured it was busy so I gave him the benefit of the doubt. The salads came out so I knew he forgot about it so I had to follow up with another bartender and she poured it right away for me. Overall Sol 7 is convenient if you're staying at the hotel, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come here for food. I also ordered room service breakfast while staying at the Thompson, and the food came from Sol 7. I actually had to walk down to Sol 7 to place the room service order because no one was answering the phone. I ordered chilaquiles and my friend ordered the 2 eggs plate which came with potatoes, and choice of meat and toast. I ended up finding a hair laced in the chilaquiles (gross) so I called to complain, luckily someone finally answered. They brought me a new one very quickly, but by that point I lost my appetite so I didn't enjoy it. Minus 2 stars because Sol 7 and the Thompson hotel definitely have some issues to work out. read more

Firstly, valet parking is complimentary at the Thompson for 3 hours which is fantastic. That way you don't have to struggle finding parking in that hectic lot. Beyond that, reservations are strongly recommended, they are booked and busy. I came in with a friend and we asked to sit in the patio, which is first come first serve. We were sat out there and it was so nice and breezy, right by the pool. Downside was that they tend to sit larger parties outside too, which made it really loud out there. For appetizers we ordered the crab cake and avocado toast. The crab cake was delicious, honestly the best thing we had there. The avocado toast was just okay, I'm not the biggest fan of capers so I could've done without them. As an entree we ordered the chicken and waffles, the tenders were a little spicy which was nice, the waffle was soft and fluffy, and the caramelized banana was really good. Throughout our service, our waitress was really attentive and she gave us great recommendations. Overall, I'd definitely recommend trying them out! I'll definitely be back to try their dinner service. read more

We had higher hopes for this place, but the food was just okay for us. The drinks however were on the pricier side but so delicious, we would definitely return for happy hour and the views! Very cute aesthetic located inside the Thompson Hotel with lots of seating and great skyline views. Service was okay, we felt it could have been a bit quicker considering it was not very busy. Complimentary valet for the first 3 hours which is nice, just get ticket validated with restaurant. read more
