"Located on the seventh floor of the luxury hotel Thompson Houston, Sol 7 offers a menu of contemporary cuisine and stellar views. The restaurant overlooks the infinity pool surrounded by lush greenery, and features a grand view of Downtown’s cityscape and Buffalo Bayou Park just across the street. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, Sol 7 offers an oasis at any time, with fresh salads, sandwiches like the Maine lobster roll, and entrees such as grilled Ora King Salmon." - Brittany Britto Garley
"This rooftop pool bar and restaurant offers one of the best views of Houston with plenty of its own entertainment. In addition to its lush greenery and lawn games, the 1-acre rooftop offers an expansive greenspace for bargoers to roam, plus shaded seating and an all-day menu boasting cocktails, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Admission to the pool is $20 for locals and free for hotel guests. Catch its weekday happy hour from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. for $4 draft beers, $8 glasses of wine, and $10 margaritas and spritzes." - Marcy de Luna
"Open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., the Thompson Hotel’s rooftop bar offers some of the best views and the best steak frites in the city. Head up to the 11th floor on the elevator, pass the all-white library, and grab a drink at the bar, which features an array of wines, beers, seltzers, and classic and signature cocktails, including the Snake Bite, a combination of Balcones Texas Rye, Nixta Elote liqueur hot honey, and chili bitters. Take your drink of choice out onto the terrace, and if you work up an appetite, order something from the food menu, which features more casual bites like sandwiches, salads, and smash burgers, and more elegant offerings like oysters, crab cakes, and herb-crusted salmon. Hotel guests get access to the pool area and can also reserve some of its swanky cabanas, one of which comes equipped with a television." - Brittany Britto Garley
"The Thompson Hotel’s rooftop bar and lounge kicks off its new steak special night on Friday, July 26. Inspired by a similar deal at Paris’s popular Le Relais de L’Entrecote, Sol 7’s chef Alexandre Viriot will offer a $52 prix-fixe steak frites dinner, which comes with a little gem salad, an 8-ounce skirt steak with sauce au poivre, and endless garlic-duck fat fries. Reservations are encouraged." - Brittany Britto Garley

Dessert comes with apple cider donuts with apple pie filling, pumpkin cheesecake, and Texas pecan tart. Kids can enjoy a two-course meal for $12. Reservations are encouraged." - Brittany Britto Garley
