    I absolutely LOVE the vibe here! The views are incredible, food is delicious and everyone is always so friendly!!

    Go for drinks and the views! Located on the rooftop of the Thompson Hotel, Moon's Daughter provides Mediterranean style bites for breakfast, lunch and dinner and cocktails. They have the best view of the sunset with indoor and outdoor seating available. Breakfast is okay in my opinion, but I like the bite options such as the shrimp kebab and the hummus. Service can be slow at some points but very vibey.

    Visited with my mother in law and the views are amazing! I love that it's downtown and overlooking the riverwalk + San Antonio. Parking was a bit ehh but the food was great! We orders the peach pancakes and the avocado toast. The avocado toast was great but the pancakes were extremely flat. I wish they were fluffier for the price. We spent about $45 for 2 entrees and a coffee. Not terrible. Would go back for the cafe on the other side

    Went to the Helios Cafe popup coffee bar on a Sunday morning. Beautiful views of the city skyline and the Tower of Americas! Views can't be beat. Free 2hrs parking with purchase. Drinks were also super good and a reasonable $7 for the large specialty drinks. Service was good with a really personable bartender. Would recommend to anyone for a weekend coffee shop visit

    Beautiful location, there are two rooftop balconies and inside has skyline views too. They're running a cafe pop up with really creative coffee and matcha drinks. There's some pastries available too. The full menu runs for brunch and dinner and occasionally they have a buffet breakfast. They mentioned it's not regular as they run it to support the hotel restaurant volume so I recommend calling if you're looking for that. The kitchen and service is slow so if you have a large party the buffet is your best bet.

    We came here after hearing many recommendations for it. When we first got there, we got coffee and took in the rooftop views before then getting seated. The baristas were running out of many ingredients, but they made my SO the last pumpkin spice latte luckily! We took our drinks to sit on the restaurant outdoor patio. Keep in mind that they will only let you sit on the restaurant half of the rooftop if you are going to order food. My SO's coffee was pretty good. It was nothing special, but the chocolate cold foam on top of it was pretty tasty. I was so excited for my Matcha as I love rose and on this very hot day, Matcha sounded very refreshing. However, the Matcha was very bitter and grassy, and not much of the rose flavor came through. The coffee's total were pretty expensive, which is what I would expect at a rooftop coffee shop. Would I come back? probably not

    Gem Worth Every Penny! Wow--what a night at The Moon's Daughter! My wife and I decided to treat ourselves and this spot did not disappoint. From the moment we were seated, we were in awe of the panoramic rooftop views of downtown San Antonio--pure magic as the city lit up beneath us. But the real star of the evening? Albert, our server. This guy was top tier--attentive without hovering, incredibly knowledgeable, and went above and beyond when the Malbec I ordered was out. He brought out a perfect Bordeaux substitute that ended up being even better than what I originally asked for. Total pro. We started with the turmeric pickled vegetables (bright, zesty, addictive) and grilled halloumi (crispy edges, melty inside--yes please!), followed by the salmon, which was cooked to absolute perfection. Every bite was packed with flavor and felt like something special. Sure, it's not the cheapest dinner in town, but for a date night with stunning views, fantastic food, and impeccable service, it was 100% worth it. We'll definitely be back the next time we want to feel spoiled.

    Stopped in for lunch with friend and everything was pretty good! I went with the shrimp which was good and nothing special. Although it did say it came with naan which I did not receive. My friend gave me a bite of her burger and it was pretty good and the fries were perfectly fried. We sat out on the terrace and the view was honestly meh. Nothing like what you see in the photos, it was also very dirty. I understand it's outside but it was a bit much. The indoor portion of the place was very pretty and clean. Service was average and the server was good enough. Now onto the cafe portion, it was amazing! From service to coffee to views; awesome! The barista was super friendly and pleasant. Drinks were perfectly balanced and their pastries were tasty. Definitely looking forward to visiting the cafe again!

    The perfect evening for delicious bites, fresh cocktails, and some great views of The Alamo City. The Moon's Daughters is within a hotel and the experience starts upon your entrance into their lobby. As you head past the staircase with the edison light bulbs, you'll head up to top floor and get dropped off. You then have the option to visit The Moon's Daughters or Saloon. We were relying on lady luck as I forgot to make a reservation (oopsie) and they were so sweet to get us a table near the bar. It was a trip to see it fairly packed and to then see it getting more and more packed throughout the night. They have a mix of indoor and outdoor seating which is their balcony. Tabletops outside seemed to only fit 2-4 max but it was fun to gander as I feel like they have plenty of private events here. Staff here was so friendly and had some great recommendations. We probably ended up there for about 2.5 hours and we were never rushed. I think that is one of the reasons why The Moon's Daughters is so alluring is because they want you to be in the moment. There was a mix of singles and couples which made it all the better to people watch. On this particular evening they had a live dj which added to the ambiance. Their truffle fries are a five-star must so don't forget to order them. We also had the halloumi, hummus, and another dish which all were super tasty. Will gladly come back, but will do my best to come during the day to enjoy the views.

    Loved everything about this place ! Me and my husband came to have some drinks and some bites because our daughter was at the Tobin arts center watching Not for Radio so we decided to check this place out. We were immediately seated in a small side room by ourselves next to a window overlooking the skyline of San Antonio. It was a gorgeous cool night our waitress and the greeter were very welcoming, helpful and attentive we ate we ordered our gin drinks. we laughed. We had fun and then we made our way outside to the Terrace. We had some drinks there. We snuggled and looked over the beautiful sites of San Antonio. We were cold so we ended up going in as they reserved a seat inside the main dining room and we had dessert, another round of drinks and then got the text from our daughter that she was ready to go and that was our night. We will definitely come back.

    After loving our experience at Tesserae at the Thompson hotel in Atlanta we were so excited when we realized San Antonio had a Thompson Hotel with a rooftop restaurant as well. At first there were no reservations available which wasn't surprising to us as we were planning to check them out during the Final Four weekend but my husband constantly checked their website & thankfully the week of something became available. From the moment we walked in we were greeted by Crystal & Alexis who were both so friendly and welcoming. Alexis gave us a mini tour of the restaurant, the outdoor patio and even was so kind enough to take our pictures in the different locations. Both Crystal & Alexis were so helpful in giving us some recommendations of places to check out in San Antonio during our stay. Even though Alexis wasn't our waiter she checked on us throughout our dining, recommended the Coffee Chocolate Cake that my husband enjoyed all on his own. It's a small menu but we were both able to find something. My husband got the Wagyu Double Cheese burger which he said was good and filling. I got the Za'atar Chicken Quarter which was good just a tad over seasoned with salt. They give a big portion of fries with the cheese burger so we were able to share them but the fries were a little salty as well. It was a cold breezy evening so we ate inside but the entire restaurant is surrounded by floor to ceiling windows so we were able to enjoy the sunset as we ate and also went outside to snap some pictures. The outside views were amazing both during the day and night time. After an amazing evening on the rooftop we ended our night lounging in the hotel lobby by the fireplace. We are 2/2 with the Thompson Hotels, their rooftop restaurants & hotel lobby. I highly recommend checking out both the Atlanta/Buckhead and San Antonio locations.

    Although I only came here for drinks on the rooftop, it was a very pleasant experience. The bar didn't have the tequila that I normally drink but that had a substitution that fit my expectations. The rooftop isn't anything special but the atmosphere was cool and the drinks were great!

    Donna D.

    The food was mid, of course in a hotel it would be overpriced. The ambiance was great. But it was just ok, nothing to get to excited about.

    Ask the Community - Moon's Daughter - Thompson San Antonio

    Can a 13 year old assist the restaurant with a guardian?

    This restaurant is 21 and up

    What if I'm late to a reservation?

    I believe you get a short grace period but co tact them to let them know and they may be able to accommodate you depending on whether someone else has a reservation after you.

    Do I need to make a reservation or can I walk in without one?

    You can walk in but if you have a party of 4 or more, best to make a reservation

    Why does this place require a credit card when making an online reservation? Is it possible to make reservation without giving out sensitive information?

    The credit card secures your choice of indoor or outdoor seating. They don't use it unless your a no show and then only a $50 will be charged. However you can go without a reservation and you should be ok. It's an awesome experience

    Do they offer vegetarian and gluten free meals?

    Yes, there are vegetarian and gluten free options.

    Is there music or any entertainment?

    I was there on a Saturday night and around 9pm there's a DJ.

    Where do i park?

    As others have said you can utilize the valet at the hotel or there really is abundant street parking available all around. I had dinner here a few Fridays ago and easily found street parking a half block away.

They had a bunch of different cocktails inside lots of unique options and some not so much but where it was all about was the specials one in particular the Dunkle Sandwich as it tasted like Peanut butter and jelly like it was soo good up there with one of the best shots I've ever had soo flavorful and just good like this was by far my favorite thing I drank this night! Our other drinks were yummy too don't get me wrong as each of them has key components that made them taste amazing while I did forget the names just know that each one of them was yummy! On this particular night they had a mentalist wondering around doing magic he was fun and added to our evening here so that was a nice touch! Our bartender was awesome and quick to get us our drinks and I must say everything was mixed very well! Overall awesome spot for date night we both enjoyed our time here and hopefully we get to make it here again at some point because you can't go wrong with a chill speakeasy!

Firstly, we had trouble getting an uber at first and when I called the staff was very friendly and were able to hold the table a little longer which I appreciated. The menu is a mix of Asian Fusion small plates and I would have loved to have had more of a sampling of the menu but it wasn't that large of a party. The cocktails were not too sweet and perfectly balanced. The Fist of Fury was so refreshing and the Yuzu margarita was delightful! The plates come when they are ready and I have to say the food came really quick! All of it was fantastic! Surprisingly the shredded vegetable salad was amazing and one of my favorite dishes! The tamarind glaze on the Chicken Karaage was not overpowering and so tasty. The service was amazing and the vibes of the restaurant were a lot of fun. The bathrooms were down the stairs and there was a little bar off to the side. Would definitely go back! I couldn't stop talking about it the next day to anyone that would listen.

Drinks were AMAZING! Bartender Rob made the best Negroni I've ever had. I asked him to use whatever gin he thought best--result was an artistic smooooooth full-bodied drink. Told him when I was done I'd lick the glass if it wasn't considered so uncouth for a 'mature' lady like myself to do so Hubby's Buffalo Trace bourbon old fashioned was also outstanding. Rob was the bartender last night who did such a great job, and his work was even better tonight. We highly recommend The EsquireTavern for excellent cocktails. We love the long wood bar and high copper ceiling upstairs, but love the intimate speakeasy atmosphere downstairs even more. We'll definitely be back every time we're in San Antonio! First review, Friday night: Drinks were great (Manhattan and Bourbon Old Fashioned). REAL drinks, no complaints at all about those. And the bartenders were very friendly and helpful. Those aspects of the Esquire get 5+ stars from us. But the appetizers were not good, close to inedible. It was about 8:30pm or so, so maybe they were getting ready to close out the kitchen but the chalupitas with chicken tasted like rubber, and no flavor at all. The seafood platter had something in it that was breading with shell inside, but no meat of any kind. We couldn't figure out what it was supposed to be. The shrimp was good and the fish was good but those other things... We'll always love the drinks, the long wooden bar, and the ambiance at the Esquire Tavern, but we'll eat somewhere else and come here for before or after dinner drinks. (See update above to this review for when we returned the next night for after dinner drinks.)
