Oysters
Tami A.

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.

Fruit salad

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.

Chardon Restaurant & Bat I'm told.

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.

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.

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!

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!

Great bar Met some…read morefriends here after dinner. They were packed and boomin when we arrived. Dj set up right behind us and got the night started right. Even though the place was completely full, the service was still quick and really good. They brought out more chairs to accommodate our growing party and we never had to wait long for drinks. After about an hour, we slid through the back door and into the speakeasy. This portion of the bar was equally impressive and had the same high end vibe. More great service, more great drinks. Some Louis XIII may have been poured- which came with white glove service and a complete history lesson btw lol Literally zero complaints. Just a great night out.

Fourth Ward, Midtown, Montrose

We stopped into Jethro's Cocktail Lounge while we were out at the Vintage Community Market hosted…read moreby Faculty Club Never, and it ended up being one of those places you're so glad you randomly walked into. First, the vibe. It is warm, stylish, and very Montrose in the best way. It feels elevated but still relaxed enough to just sit, talk, and enjoy your time without feeling rushed. We came during happy hour and it was such a great deal. I ordered the Sweet Like Peach Tree, which was light, refreshing, and perfectly balanced with the peach and ginger. My husband got the Frozen Paloma and it was just as good, super smooth with the right citrus bite. We also shared the churros and they were honestly a must order. Warm, crispy, and paired with Nutella and caramel. What really made the experience stand out though was our bartender, Manny. He was incredibly welcoming from the moment we sat down, had such a great personality, and made the whole experience feel personal. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does, and that kind of service is hard to find. He also told us about their upcoming two year anniversary party on May 3rd with rotating live DJs, which sounds like it will be such a fun time. We will definitely be back. Between the drinks, the atmosphere, and the service, this place really gets it right.

It's a little small inside and a small parking lot, but if you're lucky and can walk there, do! The quality of the drinks are really excellent and the burgers have been voted some of the best in town! I can't speak for them, but the drinks and the spot, are phenomenal. They have bingo nights, dj nights, and other themed events that keep the place packed out. Maybe once I try the burgers, it'll be 5 stars, but the smallll parking lot and lack of safe street parking keep me at 4.
