DISTRICT 7 MEMORIAL

I absolutely LOVE this restaurant! I’ve been coming here for about two years and the service is excellent every time. The manager John is spectacular! He treats us like his family and he is wonderful. The food at this restaurant is top tier! I always try something new each time to spice it up and it never disappoints. I HIGHLY recommend coming to this location for great food and customer service!

I’ve always been the person to check reviews and never leave one but I just had to after our experience tonight. I went here for dinner, the calamari was amazing, the pizza I ordered was good, and one of the best parts of our dinner was our Waitress Jessica. Jessica was attentive, fun, and made our first visit a memorable one. I can also always appreciate when a manager/owner who takes the time to go to every table and check on their patrons.

Stopped in on Saturday morning during our bike ride along the great trails in this area. The staff were friendly and accommodating with our orders. Outdoor seating was a plus, but it is actually kind of hard to know this joint is even here, as there is no good way to identify it from the trail across the street. They have bike parking which is a plus. Really enjoyed the healthyish skillet frittata, so fluffy and light…and the made to order flat whites…

Seriously some of the best shrimp pasta I’ve ever had. The shrimp were super fresh and cooked just right, and the sauce was crazy good—creamy, garlicky, and full of flavor. Everything tasted homemade in the best way. Chill vibe, friendly staff, and solid portions too. Definitely coming back for that pasta!

Such a great spot. Very good food, great atmosphere and nice service. The pasta bowl I had was really nice and my husband had the pizza. Very delicious!! We will be back.

4 star overall experience (although, I would’ve rated it was a 3.5 star experience if I could). The start of our visit started off with a piece of paper straw wrapper/trash in my partner’s water. The paper straw/trash in my partner’s water made us paranoid for what careless mistakes might happen with our food. However, we stuck it out and some of the food was very tasty. The “all meat omelette” was better than the “big breakfast” by far. Each plate was $16 which felt a bit overpriced for eggs and potatoes being the main part of each dish. My partner claimed the eggs from the “big breakfast” were pretty bland, and complained there wasn’t enough meat with his dish only coming with a small single sausage patty. In my opinion, the potatoes needed more salt or seasoning. However, there were no complaints from the “all meat omelette,” it was the star of this meal (and my partner wanted to steal more than the two bites I had already offered him lol). The pancakes were extra fluffy and the French toast was great! However, there was definitely too much butter on each of them. I suggest ordering the butter on the side so it’s not drowning before you even get to bite into it! Lastly, for this restaurant to be as expensive as it is, there weren’t any non-dairy milk alternatives. To be honest, the atmosphere is their selling point. There is lots of natural light in a beautiful, quiet location. The last note to mention were the restrooms provided (connected to the hotel) were not so great, with 5 out of 6 stalls being filthy for the women’s stalls.

Cesar was so amazing!!! Great food recommendations and wow, amazing service ! He was so kind and the perfect amount of attentive ! I can’t wait to come back to see him ! And the drinks ????? Espresso martini sub vodka with Disaronno >>>> I’ll definitely be back for him ! Thank you Cesar ❤️

This place is one of the best for brunch in the energy corridor area. Highly recommend to try it.

They have a liquor tax ...To some people this might be a deal breaker but just FYI I don't know how this place has a 2 dollar sign. In my opinion, the food cost is way higher vs the quality. At these prices you could easily go to city center and enjoy a meal there. However, you might be paying for convenience since it is nestled quietly in the neighborhood. I will give it that when it's slow you get extremely good service, but we've seen it also busy and they get sloppy.

I enjoyed a braised short rib pappardelle here on a semi-busy Monday lunch. The dish itself came with ample meat and noodles, though I personally could have done with slightly more mushroom. Complimenting it was the mushroom cream sauce, which was plentiful and suited the dish nicely. The ambiance of this restaurant makes it perfect for a work or post-walk meal. While parking can be tight, there is ample street parking available nearby. Service was good as well. Overall, I would recommend this place particularly for folks in the area looking for a work get together spot .

Such a great spot. Very good food, great atmosphere and nice service. The pasta bowl I had was really nice and my husband had the pizza. Very delicious!! We will be back.

We were in for quick brunch. It was empty and we were sat immediately. Service was excellent. Our server was engaging and witty. Food came quickly and was hot. It was just as we ordered. We had a Mimosa, Belini, and latte and we finished them!

Came here to grab a quick lunch and had a pretty good time. It was a nice day so we sat outside but it was also pretty packed inside, so I would suggest getting there a bit early to get a table. We got to try a few different items, including the crawfish hush puppies and the paella. I didn't personally try this, but my friend got the loaded Mac and cheese and it looked pretty worth it! The paella was a decent size and came with plenty of seafood. It was a touch under seasoned but I still enjoyed it! Service was decent, and same with pricing for today's standard.

Great place!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Great service and the food is way better than expected. There is a something for everyone on the menu. New menus items "EASTEX" - picture attached of the Shawarma tacos. Great for sitting outside and ambiance. Overall excellent.

Amazing food and drinks. The ambiance is amazing too, I always sit at the bar for great service and it never disappoints.

The food was excellent, the ambiance amazing but the service was impeccable. I dint give 5 stars but this place deserves it

Unfortunately EVERY time I try to give this place another chance. They disappoint in the worst way. Ordered a pizza to go.....and it's quite literally inedible! The entire bottom Was soaking wet and soggy. If the ingredients on an item soaked the pizza like this I would think the cook time would be higher or it would just be cooked on a different crust. Not sure how much different the pizza taste with dine in, but this was absolutely terrible!!! Trying to pick up a "piece" caused the whole thing to just fall apart. Time & money= wasted!!!

Food is consistently delish! Every time friends and family visit , grabbing a bite here is always on the itinerary. Staff is always friendly as well.

Came here for a Halloween Birthday lunch with mommy. We both Really enjoyed this establishment. We would've never located this if it wasn't for my honey and Yelp. Service and food was delightful. The maple salmon glazed was amazing I rate that 5 stars. I'll order that dish again. Mom enjoyed the shrimp and grits. Nice size shrimp D7 you get 5 stars for the size. The only flaw was our first cup of gumbo wasn't served at correct temperature that food should be. D7 definitely made it up by bringing another cup of gumbo out, pleasing temp and flavor. Wasn't better than mines, but it'll fix your gumbo itch. Birthday dessert was amazing I love how they cut the strawberry into a rose.

What a fantastic place to enjoy this perfect texas weather!!!! Cesar did a great job, no so many places customer services are friendly here I found I came vecuse I wanted fish But then I found so burgers Diferentes plates Jajakaka I decides a Green pizza and let me tell you something is dificult to fin a Flover pizza in a good Owen!!! AMAIZING in the point. Fire !!!!!! A lo cabimero Que molleja e bueno esta esto!!!!

I sat at the bar around 3 pm and there was barely any customers. I ordered the pancetta shrimp carbonara which needed more salt. There was a good char on the shrimp, but salting food is pretty basic. Near the end of my meal, there was 2 groups of about 8-10 people who came in and that's when my server completely ignored me. I'm still the only person at the bar, so it was pretty easy to see me. All I needed was the check, and for him to charge my credit card. It took a long time to get his attention just to give me the check. And then he never came back again. I even asked a gentlemen behind the bar, which I assumed he was a bartender since he was making drinks, if he could get my server because I just need to pay the bill. I don't know if he told the server but I was waiting so long that I had to get up and take my bill to the server. He then said "oh my gosh, I'm sorry" which means he completely forgot about me. I don't think anyone should have to get up and walk to a server just for them to swipe my credit card. I still don't know why the other guy behind the bar couldn't do it himself either.

UNHAPPY LOYAL CUSTOMER Hi guys! Let's get into this review! I love that they cook my food in olive oil, big plus!! The food is delicious, the staff is friendly... Now that I've gotten all of the subtleties out of the way...tonight I ordered the same thing I always get, brussels sprouts and broccolini, the broccolini is good, it's consistent, but the brussels sprouts were dry, I took them back, got another batch, they were dry as well (which means they're OLD), and they didn't put the almonds on them...I don't have time to go back AGAIN to get the almonds!!! I'm really disappointed...I didn't get what I paid for...the food would be more consistent if they had a rubric to follow, since they have more than 1 cook...I shouldn't have to be concerned with the quality or consistency of my food every time I order from this establishment. Questioning if I should return... ADDENDUM: they didn't cook my food in olive oil this time, as I requested, and my stomach was TORN UP ALL NIGHT!!!! I'M DONE!!!!

Been here a few times for happy hour. It's really hit or miss with the food and drinks. Guess it depends on who's working that day. Which is not good as the prices are not cheap.

I was craving for oysters and I was glad this place has reasonable pricing. Very nice interior and ambience. I got the mixed oyster. The Gulf oyster were huge and filled my mouth. The East oyster were smooth and good as well. The grilled lemon garlic oyster were grilled perfectly. I loved the smoky taste and the cheese added a nice texture. The taste was light enough where you can still taste the oyster and not overwhelming that you just taste the cheese. It was a good balance. The hush puppies was a hit and miss. I was not expecting for it to come with kale. Weird combo. Unfortunately the hush puppies was dry and bland. The sauce that came with the hush puppies was a weird sour vinaigrette taste? It didn't seem like it was a good pairing. Keep it simple and should come with either melted butter, ketchup, tarter sauce or even ranch. However surprisingly the bed of crispy kale was yummy. I love kale and with a sprinkle of salt it's kale chips. As I got to the bottom there was a sweet sauce which elevate it with a nice yummy flavor. I enjoyed it a lot. Forget the hush puppies, give me the garnish that comes with it lol. Maple salmon - If you want something on the healthier side I'd say this will be a decent option. However I didn't taste any maple and the salmon lacks flavor. In fact the whole dish lack seasoning. My bf disagree and think it was decent but could also use a bit more seasoning. Another reason for the 3 star is because my waiter didn't give the best customer service. Very subpar service. Not much interaction and didn't give a friendly vibe. The service is part of the dining experience and he didn't give us an enjoyable atmosphere. I would come back for the grilled oyster hands down and the Ghost in the Machine IPA beer was super good and only place I know that has this.

Nice upper scale modern atmosphere with a wide variety of food. Very friendly staff. Items I have tried are above average for the area. Good selection of drinks. It's the kind of place to stop after work with coworkers.... nice, clean, pleasant, with enough variety that anyone can find something they will find acceptable.

The fish here is absolutely unacceptable. It seems like they're serving old fish that's been sitting in the fridge. I had to spit out my red snapper, which I paid $25 for--it was that bad. Truly a terrible experience.

Don't place your order online because the staff doesn't monitor their ordering system. The website said it would take 30-45 minutes for my order to be ready. When I arrived, the staff asked me several times if I'd already placed my order (I had a text confirming the pick-up time), and then I was told that the order hadn't even been put in. "It will only take 10 minutes" turned into 22. They could have at least offered a beverage for the mess-up and inconvenience... I really want to like this place, but it's always something. One nice waitress came up to me at the end and offered me a beverage after seeing me waiting for a while. She was genuine and apologized and politely asked me to come back. Apparently she's the only staff member who understands customer service - and the only reason I would go back. What's worse is that the restaurant was practically empty. The manager just stood there doing nothing and didn't even bother to come and say anything.

I love District 7. Aside from the excellent service (sat at the bar for brunch) from the bartender, the food was great and the prices are reasonable - I love how convenient (location) is from my apartment. I also love that they have a patio seating area where they allow dogs.

This was a pleasant surprise! The restaurant is beautiful on the inside and the patio is pretty nice! Went here for brunch and was not disappointed. The staff, Ivan especially, was attentive and provided great service. The omelettes we had were great! The waffles were amazing!! I definitely think it I place to try!

Cute restaurant on a quiet street. You wouldn't know it was there unless looking for it. For inside seating, reservations are highly recommended. We didn't have one so had to sit outside and it was very windy. In the beginning service was very slow until our server switched and we got James instead and he was very on point! He checked on us often and gave us updates on our food. The kitchen service was still pretty slow. For appetizers we tried the grilled oysters and crawfish hush puppies. The hush puppies came in a bed of crispy kale and was delicious. It got demolished before I got to take a picture. We ordered different entrees and let each other taste. Everything was good and well seasoned except for the braised short beef pasta. That dish needed more flavor. The pizza dough was great! Overall, it was a good dining experience. Will give it another go again.

This place is nestled between which seems to be a commercial building or some apartments. A small spot right on the corner. I went here for a Saturday brunch around 10:30am. No crowd whatsoever. We got to sit in a booth looking the bar & kitchen. Service was ok, not great bit not bad either. It was weird because we were given a dinner and a brunch menu at 10:30 in the morning. The shrimp & grits was not on the brunch menu but was on the dinner menu, so I ordered that. I feel bad because I had low expectations on their food but was pleasantly surprised how good my meal was. The sauce had a little kick to it which I didn't mind. Smooth creamy grits it was good! My niece had the avocado toast (she said it was basic) We both ordered a cocktail which their Moscow mule was refreshing and delicious! I had a martini which was quite strong just how I like it. I'd recommend this place for a nice quiet weekend brunch.

Our server (I can't remember her name unfortunately) was so good!!! She's a shorter light haired girl, if you see her just.. ask for her! Lol. Our cocktails were okay, not very flavorful but not bad (margarita and Moscow mule), the appetizer stole the show though. Had the salmon and kale bruschetta! I will literally go back just for this lol. The 3 stars is for the main courses unfortunately:( (would give 3.5 if possible!) I got the chipotle stuffed chicken and the sauce was just... not good. It was thin and watery and tasted sweet instead of spicy. The cook of the chicken and broccolini were great! But the mashed potatoes were very salty. My friend had the maple glazed salmon and the closer she got to the center the less it was cooked and the less flavor it held. It was unfortunate because the outer sides of it were very good!! (I may have tried it, lol). Overall the service and apps made this a great experience. Otherwise I don't think we would come back. Maybe we'll just make this a cocktail and app place!

The food here it's amazing, it's real good it's mostly seafood which is the best for people that love seafood. The service here it's very well, they treat you right which really is gonna make you feel like your home. The place is real reallllllll fancy it's amazing real great

This location is a-little hidden from the main street (Memorial Dr.) which makes for it to be slightly less busy than neighboring restaurants. The atmosphere here is immaculate! They have a great outdoor seating area and a big yard for the kids to play. The food never disappoints here, salmon is always a go-to. District 7 is great for any occasion, from a casual brunch to formal dinner!

What an absolute joke of an establishment, and management. I did love my server though, he did everything correctly, went in for brunch, decided to try the filet, "medium rare" now I'm no grill master, nor am I a connoisseur, but this is 100% near RAW. I had no prior issues sending it back, until the manager came back acting full of himself, saying "You ordered medium rare! this is medium rare?" I'm not sure if he has taken any classes on hospitality, or general management, but horrible experience. In all my years of eating steak, filet especially, I've never felt more remorse for a cow than this, even worse that the manager on duty can't correct the issue without creating an argument to defend himself and acting like he's in the right until I SHOW him a picture of what medium is supposed to look like. Don't come here for steak, breakfast is also sub-par at best, many other better options in the area. I came into this establishment October 16th, roughly 12-1PM.

Love this little place ! Wings were amazing and so were mushroom balls! Drinks are always good and owner is super sweet and cute I've had other food there! Oysters have been great and think it's their spinach dip that's really good You just can't go wrong with whatever you order

I'd driven past this cute little place a few times and last night I decided to dine in, sadly I can only give this business 3 stars and I'll tell y'all why I always say this when I leave a negative or mediocre review bc I truly hate leaving bad reviews but "if you don't LOVE hospitality get out of the industry" Earlier in the day I had eaten a big lunch with friends but my boyfriend was hungry and I asked if he finally wanted to try district 7 We arrive at 915, they close at 10-1030 I believe so it wasn't super busy And we decide to sit at the bar We look over the menu everything read as if it were going to be amazing, I settle on white wine and east coast oysters and my boyfriends gets a pinot noir and a meats pizza Pizza definitely gets 4 stars it was super good But as far as my experience at the bar and my oysters I definitely felt ripped off by this business So the bartender (was way too "homie like" definitely wasn't as professional as I'd like (I'm also a bartender so this is why I'm saying this) but honestly just had a lack of knowledge and didn't seem to care about informing us on much So to my oysters, I am an oyster connoisseur literally I eat them atleast 3 times a week and I love love love trying oysters from all over the world ( Margeauxs, and my job liberty kitchen have a phenomenal selection) also being from New Orleans I know a gulf oyster when I eat it and I just don't care for the flavor anymore in my adulthood So I ask the bartender what's the name of these oysters and where are they from? Because I like to look up the flavor profiles, she didn't know and then wasn't proactive in seeking the knowledge so I asked her can you find out for me ? She comes back and only says they're from Rhode Island, so I'm guessing their oyster crates aren't labeled Then when I get my oysters they're huge gulf oysters and I didn't complain I just paid and tipped 20 percent but if I had been the bartender that night I would have gotten my manager brought out the proper oysters and apologized, I just truly felt like the bartender didn't give an f about my experience, I expressed to her after only eating 2 oysters that from the shell and flavor I can tell they're gulf oysters and she says "honestly the lady in the back doesn't read that well, she just heard oysters and put whatever" ..and you think that's appropriate to tel a patron? Why am I paying east coast oyster price for gulf oysters and if that's the case why not atleast recharge me for gulf oysters..needless to say I will not be returning but I sure would have loved to try that paella Good luck to this business

Went here with a coworker and neither one of us are from Texas. Found it off yelp. Split a couple of small plates to start. we got the wings and Brussel sprouts. Both were good but highly recommend the Brussel sprouts. For entrees we got the ratatouille and the ossoa bucca. Both were very different but equally incredible. Drinks wise I got one of the tequila drinks and a glass of wine. Wish I remembered the name because it was very refreshing. He got the old fashion and a beer. Overall good food and drinks and a very relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommend.

I went in when I got to work because I was hungry. I ask for coffee and gumbo. Total $14 bucks for this. This place is a little pricey for the small portion they serve. I only go when I'm hungry. The staff is very friendly and nice. Some of the shrimp in the gumbo is not deveined. No good for me. I still would recommend this business.

My son and I really enjoyed our meal here, the space it occupies, and the staff. That's a trifecta! The pizza is great, and we really enjoyed the charcuterie board. However, the charcuterie board was served on a pizza trey so I had to knock 1-star off for that. We will be back.

Great neighborhood spot! Good breakfast food and strong mimosas. Nice patio and ambience indoors. Just wish food was warmer when it came out. I would definitely come back.

This place was promising back when Oil and Gas was still cool. The office building it's embedded in was packed and it was a little hidden gem that people coming off Terry Hersey trail, people from the office and apartment buildings could come to for food and drinks. It's now mostly supported by the nearby residents left over after the collapse of oil and gas so its not usually very busy if anyone is here at all. Its a nice modern restaurant and the food here is pretty decent IMO. They have a full bar including a couple craft beer options. The oysters remain a good value IMO esp compared to a lot of other places. With the area being dead however it's just kind of an awkard place. I think if you're in the area and this option pops up on your search, you should give it a try. I wouldn't make a special trip for it. Hang on to your receipt though because right after I heard about tip padding here, it happened to me. I wouldn't let that discourage you though, just be aware. Best time to come is b/w 4-7pm IMO.

The food was amazing. Tasted great and was very reasonably priced! My partner lives by their Mac and Cheese. Now the service, that was where they excel. The service was unmatched to any restaurant in the local area. The server was nice and completely on top of her game. My order initially came out wrong but they corrected it as quickly as possible. The restaurant is beautiful with bright whites and modern design. Would definitely recommend.

Fun place to grab an after work happy hour drink and food. The happy hour food menu is worth checking out!

We got the Shrimp and Grits, and the Charcuterie board. The grits were wonderful and as you can see, the Charcuterie board was very pleasing. Now, on the the nitty gritty. So when my gf and I got there we noticed that it was crowded outside. At first we were a but sad, but that turned around as soon as we walked inside. It was totally empty and the decor was clean and beautiful. The wait staff were amazing and one masked superhero of a server was kind enough to take a picture of my gf and I. They all had great attitudes, which made our dinner even better. Thank you District 7 for an amazing evening.

We live within walking distance of this restaurant and love having it so nearby. We recommend getting pizza during their happy hour - $11 for a 12inch pizza. Our faves are the Margherita and Bison Buffalo. Love the beer selection. Beautiful ivy covered outdoor seating and view of Terry Hershey park.

Had the Paella last night. Within 8 hours I regretted it... haven't been able to eat solids for 24 hours now. I wouldn't wish this upon anyone. I knew that seafood tasted funny. I've had this dish a number of times in the past with never any issues. Something about it just tasted 'off' last night.. but now I understand why.

We found this nice little restaurant today. The service was good, the food was very flavorful. I had the Osso Buco, but I have to say the Risotto was kind of a let down, it wasn't cooked all of the way. My wife's Braised Beef with Mac N Cheese was very tasty, the beef was very tender. Both deserts good. The drinks, very good, never had a godfather before, you gotta try it!

Great service, a perfect selection of modern American cuisine and comfort food, incredible selection of cocktails im a modern and cozy environment. Best restaurant in the Energy Corridor.

First off, I think our server was great. But the food wasn't that great in my opinion. It was either too salty or bland. Perhaps it was what we ordered. Again service was good but I wouldn't come back for brunch.

Date night. Our bartender was super nice. Our first time here. The ambience and decor was romantic. There is an outside patio for dining as well. Its a tucked away spot off of Memorial.

We eat here with friends about every other month. It is our go-to gathering place. There is something on the menu for everyone, the cocktails are good and the prices are reasonable. Sometimes we eat on their pleasant patio. A great bargain is their $16 for a dozen oysters on the appetizer menu. Pretty much everything is good.

Paella? No way. Spanish rice with overcooked seafood. No saffron. No flavor. A real disappointment. Oysters were great. Service better than the paella.

Stopped in to try a drink and an appetizer for the first time. It was mid afternoon on a Saturday and only one table was sat. We went to the bar and employees were walking around and were looking at us from the kitchen but yet nobody greeted us or came to see what we wanted to order so we just got up and left. I had been wanting to try this place for a while, but will not go back. Not a great first impression at all. We went to Cafe Benedict down the street and it was night and day.

Amazing wine bar! The bruschetta was so yummy, oysters lovely. We didn't have the pizza because we were there for happy hour but will absolutely go back! The wine selection was also top notch!!! There was a very romantic yet trendy feel. The service unfortunately was a little hit or miss. Our waitress was a little distracted and we were her only table but observing the other waiters they were constantly attentive. I'm giving 5 stars based upon food, atmosphere, and observed service. Enjoy!

The food was good and nice place to go for a light dinner. Wish there were a few more vegetarian options but, overall it was a great experience! Loved the pizza in specific!

A friend and I came here for dinner on a Friday evening, the place was relatively quiet with plenty of open seating available. We both ordered the paella, that seemed to be the number one item on the menu and for good reason. In the pictures it might not look like much but it is really substantial. The house Pinot Noir I would not recommend, not much taste there. They did not have a drink menu available. We were told a new cocktail list will be coming soon. That wasn't an issue my friend ordered a drink that she saw on a previous menu posted on Yelp. Overall we had a nice meal. Jessica was a very attentive server with high spirits. The location is a bit odd, located across from one of the entrances of Hershey Park. There wasn't anything else opened there that we noticed. I don't see myself returning here but it's a good place to come eat if you're in the area.
