There are great views of downtown though
Definitely try the tuna tartare… it’s a standout and pairs perfectly with the views and cocktails. A solid go-to for a relaxed evening with a skyline backdrop.
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.
The view of the city is absolutely breathtaking. Whether you’re sitting indoors near the windows or out on the patio, you get this stunning skyline backdrop that really elevates the whole experience. It’s a perfect setting for catching up with friends, taking photos, or just enjoying the moment.
The brunch menu is sweet and short, which I actually loved. It makes it easy to choose, and everything we tried was delicious and thoughtfully prepared. The drinks were just as impressive: great presentation, well-balanced flavors, and definitely worth a toast or two.
If you’re looking for a chic, high-vibe brunch spot in Houston with great views, good food and drinks, and excellent service, Sol 7 is a must. I’ll definitely be back again!
