    Salmon Bagel
    Kyle M.

    Great brunch with excellent views of San Antonio. The Salmon Bagel, pancakes, and Avocado Flatbread were flavorful, beautifully presented, and pleasantly light. Highly recommend, especially if you're staying at the Thompso

    Breakfast
    Eva L.

    This restaurant/bar has an amazing skyline view of San Antonio. Definitely don't miss out on exploring the different nooks and crannies. They also have a small lounge area well decorated and with a beautiful half moon. There is a bit of nudity in the bar side, just a heads up if you bring some children to the restaurant portion. The pita and hummus were apparently really good. The halloumi was a nice texture, though the grilled portions were a bit too grilled and made it taste more burnt that overpowered the original flavor of the halloumi. The lamb chop was tender and quite nice. Simple flavors for the main entrees but all were good and the tzatziki was a good mix of tart and tangy. I think normal price for these items is a bit too much. Though they did seem to have a happy hour that would've been better to hit up. The following morning we had breakfast here and it was equally just okay. I had the apple and speck, which was alright. A little plain and the apples were a bit too sweet in my opinion. The pancakes were good but basic and the egg breakfast was alright. The view is definitely cool also in the morning.

    Carrot and walnut cake - Valentine's prix fixe menu
    Cher C.

    Was staying at The Thompson via FHR so booked a dinner for the evening. Since it was Valentine's weekend, they only offered the Prix fixed menu for $115 pp. We had no issue with that, but the food didn't quite live up to the expectation. This dinner was probably the most disappointing while being the most expensive during our weekend trip in San Antonio. While dining, we also saw that the patrons at the bar tables maybe 10 ft away were ordering bar food, which I would have preferred if we were notified of the option. On the other hand, we had a better experience for breakfast. We enjoyed the milk and honey labneh drink and our breakfast entrees.

    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

    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.

    Restaurant indoor seating

    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

    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

    Plate of hummus
    Chris P.

    We went on a Sunday , not a lot of people but as told their were large parties around. We waited on xtra bread for our hummus for 25 mins . By that time we advised to cancel our plates we ordered because if we could not get extra bread for our appetizer in 25 mins I was not going to wait around for our plates. We only had two people in our party, if there were a big party there , wouldn't you think it would be quicker to put the food out for 2 instead of a larger party? And yes we were the only minorities there at that time. I don't know if that played a part but just makes me wonder.My wife was excited to go there but after that experience, we went to good old reliable chilis. And what a night a day difference.

    Tumeric pickles veggies
    Nick M.

    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!

    Entry of lobby before taking elevator

    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.

    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.

    Daniel is AMAZING! thanks for the help and making me laugh!!! Love the atmosphere/vibe.read more

    Update to first review below, rating updated from a 3 to a 5 star (drinks & bartender would get 10+…read morestars if we could rate that high): Saturday night: Went back for after dinner drinks at the Downstairs (a "speakeasy" throwback, look up the history of the place to see why). 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.)
