The Moon's Daughters

The Moon’s Daughters was an excellent choice for a nighttime rooftop dining experience in San Antonio. Our waiter was incredibly helpful, even recommending local spots to check out since we were visiting from out of town. The cocktails were strong and well-crafted, the food was delicious, and the city views were absolutely stunning. A couple of tips: while the rooftop stays open until midnight, the kitchen closes at 10 PM, so make your dinner reservation for 9:30 or earlier if you plan to eat. There isn’t a strict dress code, but I’d recommend dressing up a bit to match the elegant atmosphere. Overall, highly recommend for the views, vibes, and drinks!

I was here multiple times throughout my 3-night stay at the Thompson, and the experience was top notch! The staff is incredibly friendly and quick. From management to the host, everyone was a joy to converse with. While I didn’t get all their names, I do know Adriana, Ben, Jonathan, Allison and multiple others contributed to this great experience — thank you! Now, while the food is a little on the high end, the menu is unique featuring dishes I don’t normally see on my travels. Finally, make sure you catch the sunset from the terrace (or even inside the bar). You won’t be sorry you did!

What an absolutely incredible experience at The Moon's Daughters rooftop lounge... WOW. First of all, the service was absolutely incredible, every staff member was friendly and funny with a positive attitude. Now, the food! It was absolutely delicious, we were there for a corporate event and they went above and beyond with delicious hand made tacos with three different types of meat and all the fresh toppings you'd expect. They also prepared a huge charcuterie board fit for royalty, the fine cheeses and specialty meats paired with olives, crackers, and jellies was to die for. Last but certainly not least was the views, they were incredible with a jaw dropping sunset to take us into the evening with entertaining live music and plenty of drinks for all!

I paid for a private event yesterday at moon daughters and everything surpassed my expectations. The service, drinks, and atmosphere was amazing thank you for allowing me to book the room in a timely manner and accommodate 20 people. The cake was amazing and I just wanted to thank Amber Gonzales and Sydney for making this a special night happen for us.

Wow Mariano was a fabulous server. The food was amazing. The cocktails was spot on. The views! My wife ordered the Dino rib and ordered the chicken. Both were phenomenal! Hands down great experience for us.

The service was great, there was not a wait on a random Thursday afternoon. Sit outside & have a wonderful view of the city. My fav food was the hummus with bread.. that was delicious. Then the lox bagel was my second favorite. Espresso martini was perfect!

Visited the Helios Cafe pop up today and it is something you don’t want to miss! Not sure how long they will be open for but definitely stop by if you get the chance. I ordered the Moorish Mocha and it did not disappoint. I also ordered their sesame bagel and Chase was so helpful offering me not only a whipped feta spread but also some butter and jam. Coffee with a view…can’t miss this! I hope it’s around to stay for awhile.

The ambiance at the rooftop bar was exceptional, with a great atmosphere and thoughtfully curated music. The venue itself is modern, well-maintained, and visually appealing. Service was attentive and commendable. However, the food did not meet expectations, particularly considering the pricing. The quality and flavor were mediocre; the falafel, in particular, was among the poorest I’ve encountered. Humus lacked texture and had no flavor. Several items advertised on the website menu were either unavailable or not reflected on the actual menu — for instance, onion rings were listed but out of stock. There are also concerns regarding the kitchen’s execution. While the asparagus was properly cooked in terms of texture, it was excessively oily and lacked adequate seasoning. The presentation choice of placing yogurt sauce beneath hot asparagus caused the sauce to become warm and lose flavor, diminishing the overall dish. On a positive note, the drinks were well-crafted and enjoyable.

This handsomely decorated restaurant/bar inside the Thompson Hotel offered attractive indoor and outdoor spaces. All of the staff, from the hostesses to the servers, were very friendly and the overall service polished. The manager stopped by to ensure we were enjoying our meal. As for that meal, the roasted beets salad was delicious, and the burger was excellent, as well. We were staying at the Thompson (which was a pleasant stay,) and this restaurant, along with the one on the main floor were excellent options.

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.

Located at the top of the Thompson hotel. They have a rooftop area with a great view of the city. There was an event going on when we went there so bar wasn't completely open when we went there but they comped us some wine which was really nice! We came back at a later time to try their cocktails. They were nice a refreshing but a little heavy on the ice. Not too pricey for a venue of this caliber. They also have food but we just got a snack. We got the olive and nuts which was pretty much just that. Nothing too phenomenal. Overall was an enjoyable experience.

Great rooftop views, chill vibes, and decent brunch. Our server was nice, attentive and polite. Our drinks were great, I had a Fresa 75 which is a take on a French 75 with strawberries and gin. I also had the baklava pancakes, delicious and fluffy, the honey lemon syrup compliments the pancakes very well. The dj was playing chill r&b mixes and that gave great vibes for a Sunday afternoon. This would be a great day date spot. Located in the Thompson it's a nice place to have nice views and food.

Wonderful views. Great drinks! Awesome place to come after a show or just to relax. Looks like they have a wonderful NYE planned.

The restaurant was nice enough but it is pricey which seems adequate considering the views and upscale feel to it. The food was pretty good, the cocktails were okay. The service was decent, i have had more attentive servers at a Longhorn steakhouse. Considering the price point id expect a little more charm and attention to detail. I will say i recommend going atleast once to check it out!

I made reservations to have brunch today at The Moon's Daughter. Today was the last day for the Restaurant Week menu. For $25 per person with a minimum of 2, we received a plate with Baklava Pancakes, TMD Barbacoa, Pork Belly & Egg Gyro, and Grilled Peaches & Prosciutto Salad. It was family style and plenty for the 3 of us. Dad had a Lemonade, Hubby had the Blueberry Yum Yum, and I had a Mimosa. They do have these brunch items a la carte so check them out. We lucked out with street parking. If not, Thompson Hotel parking is $30.

The ambiance and decor not to mention the amazing view. We were able to see the sunset and it was absolutely beautiful. Staff was fun and had amazing customer service.

Lovely rooftop bar. We had dinner reservations and just got dessert, but it was seriously so tasty and decadent. This seems more of an upscale place to go. We did not see a lounge area outside but just the balcony side with tables. The service was very kind and helpful. Menu prices are a little pricey but the view is incredible.

Stopped in to have dinner before the show at the Tobin and all went well. After being seated and looking over the menu I decide to start with olive & nuts, cucumbers & poppy seeds, and turmeric pickled veggies as appetizers and the seared bass for the main course. I ordered A Night In Paris cocktail while awaiting the food, it was an interesting combination of flavors. If you like whiskey and are an adventurous drinker, then try it. The apps came out next and made for a perfect light snack that is also healthy for you. Everything was fresh and seasoned perfectly. I would order that trio again. The seared bass came out next and it was beautifully plated. The skin side was nice and crispy while the other side nice and flaky and picked up the green tahini sauce. The pomegranate seeds and micro brassica salad were a nice added touch to provide just another flavor to the mix. Overall, I had a great time, and this very light, healthy, delicious meal didn't leave me bloated or sleepy for the show. I will be back.

First time at this restaurant and it was a pleasant experience. Upon entry from the street, you will walk through the lobby of the hotel as the restaurant is on the top floor. The decor gave a nice moody ambiance. Waitress was nice and food didn't take long to be served to us. The cocktails were pricy but I knew by the hotel and the vibe it wasn't going to be cheap--the drinks were good though. There's two outdoor decks available, one that is on the right as you come off the elevator and the other on the opposite side. Overall nice experience and I can see this being a nice date night spot.

Cute little place at the top of The Thompson. We ordered a drink or two and shared the hummus plate and the olive appetizer. Both were very fresh and tasty bursting with original and authentic flavors. Servers were very friendly and attentive and the location can't be beat. The views are stunning and a great place to watch the sun set! It gets a bit warm in the direct sun light (but nice air conditioned inside) and a little breezy from being so high but a place you shouldn't miss!

Best sunset spot in San Antonio Easy up to the rooftop. You order your drinks from the bar then head outside for the view. What's not to like? Great drinks with a good view on a rooftop. We will always be back when we are in town

Great Bar and Restaurant on the 20th floor of the Thompson Hotel on the San Antonio Riverwalk. The views and food are equally spectacular. This hotel is a modern boutique hotel in San Antonio. We stayed at the property and frequented the roof top bar and restaurant during our stay. In the evening the bar/restaurant transforms into more of a club scene with a live DJ mixing the tunes, more on the level of hip hop/dance. They do have strict security with ID checks and wardrobe checks. Security is good in this place, and is present to avoid any issues that arise. Overlooking the river walk to the south, there is rooftop seating with comfy couches, chairs, tables. On the west side of the bar is outdoor seating that is more table and chair, for dining, drinks and views. Inside the building is a mix of high tops, lower tables, a long bar, and a couch and comfy chair seating area. The staff and bar tenders are abundant, and the service is spot on! We had some appetizers and small plates and the food was very good. Overall, this is a great place to hang out and look at the San Antonio skyline.

Super cool view! Super glad we came up here to check out the view of the city! We came on a random Tuesday so not sure what the typical ambiance is on a regular Friday or weekend. The drink was delicious! Incredibly expensive. It was $17 for that pink drink seen in my photo. Plus a $2 tip. So pretty much a $20. However with the view and the set up of the patio it's definitely the scenery that you're paying for. NO PARKING! You have to pay for parking downstairs which is $30, and they do NOT validate! Keep that in mind. Find alternative parking or cough up the cash.

With the quite a few rooftop bars popping up in San Antonio I have to say that this one is a favorite. The drinks are so delicious and the food is amazing. Their brunch menu is absolutely incredible. Their baklava pancakes are so delicious. The ambience is very nice and they have indoor and outdoor seating and beautiful view.

Great views! Friendly staff! Delicious food and drinks! Came here on a recommendation from a friend for my birthday evening. It's very spacious with a patio view and then a balcony view. At the time it had rained earlier in the afternoon so we really couldn't sit on the patio because the seating was all wet. The balcony side had direct sun so it was too hot so we sat inside. I ordered the filet and it's the best I've had in a long time and it was perfectly cooked to order of medium.

I have never been this high in San Antonio before. The restaurant is on the 20th floor. The view is out of the world! We ordered eggplant, fritters, cucumbers, and a few drinks. The legend behind the moon's daughter is just amazing. Our waiter was Jayy. He is so sweet!

Various drink options, amazing views of San Antonio. FRIES WERE DELICIOUS!! Best rooftop in San Antonio!

I'd been eyeing this place for awhile, and I finally was able to check it out with a friend of mine. From the fantastic customer service to the delicious food, The Moon's Daughter really sets the vibe on a Friday night. Located on the 20th floor of the Thompson San Antonio Riverwalk Hotel, this restaurant offers amazing views of San Antonio's downtown skyline from both the interior lounge area and the expansive rooftop patio. This place is definitely a great option for a night out with friends (hence why I was there) or a nice date night. This is one of the few places that I consider a 5/5, so I look forward to going back. Something to note: This bar is located inside of a hotel, so valet parking is available (I believe it's $20) and they only do debit/credit card transactions. If you're lucky you may be able to find parking on the street, but for vehicle safety I would just valet.

Came here for drinks last weekend while visiting friends: the view is spectacular and the drinks did not disappoint! It was Saturday night but we did not need to wait very long to get our drinks.

Haven't tried their food, but he cocktails were delicious! Plus the view! Oh my! We went during sunset and it was breathtaking. Great rooftop view of San Antonio. My favorite cocktail was Tripoli.

Start off great had a dinner. Couple drinks.. then after that it went downhill the host was very rude. I expect better who I thought was a five star hotel and it was not. I was gonna book a room. When I was there decided to change my mind. would not recommend going to this place.

I've been to Moons daughter twice now. Here is a photo of both times! The calamari is delicious. It is very much on the expensive side, over $20 so know it's a bit pricey and you're going to spend money in advance. The drinks are delicious. When I went at night the vibe was really nice and I truly enjoyed it. When I went during the day it was very casual.

Was a really neat place. Great skyline view on both patios. Food was amazing but extremely pricey. Would go back for a drink and the view.

First of all, let's talk about the views! And did I mention 2 rooftop outdoor areas to hang out in? And the lounge area with the view of the city? Okay well on to the drinks, mimosas with fresh juice and you have a variety of, I tried the pineapple juice with Prosecco which tickled my throat and made me think of pink vibes. The food was beyond expectation and the service is great! Poached eggs were perfectly cooked! No runny whites which made me happy to try. The chocolate espresso martini was too much for me but my friend loved it! The chef definitely fuses some flavors together pretty well. The vinyl brunch is definitely a must try. The vibe, the music and the setup is enough to make you come back for more. Come for the views and stay for the food and drinks. The mural on the wall is pretty cool too. Might become a regular here.

My experience was off to a great start here at the moons daughter , had a few drinks just to find out they falsely list their open to close time. We were told at 1:00am that the bar was closed , this is completely unacceptable when the time posted says 2:00 am , would not recommend !!! THIS PLACE SUCKS !!!!

The perfect place for a dinner date!! The views are gorgeous no matter where you are. Atmosphere is fun, staff is always friendly. I came on a weekday and it was busy at all, prefer that. Food is delicious. Their Old Fashioned is to die for same with the calamari. This will definitely be the spot I go to for a nice intimate one on one date. Great place for picture taking!

Really beautiful spot to admire the views of downtown San Antonio. The lounge has delicious food and drinks and a super friendly staff & atmosphere. It helps have reservations - I went early and enjoyed my time there.

Let's see. Cool spot!! Friendly wait staff! Drinks were hit or miss. Some cocktails came out awesome and some not so much. Have had drinks here before and there is an inconsistency with the product from bar to table. Food was fairly good but there must be an international pita shortage. You pay for the scene, you pay for the location, and you pay for the experience bumping this review up to 3 stars!

Amazing views, cocktails, and food... but best of all was the best in class service from Adrianna! Thank you for being kind, patient, and generous with all your menu knowledge and recommendations!

My wife, friends and I enjoyed the good food and great service, we will definitely be returning!

To start, don't ever hope to call this restaurant. Their phone ringer is off. We attempted to confirm a reservation and it took multiple calls and emails. While waiting for the extremely disinterested hostess to seat us, we called, saw the phone line light up but make zero noise. Long wait for even waters despite it not being busy. Then a long wait for drinks (they're crafted or whatever so I assumed they'll take longer but it was a decently long wait) . Our server was nice but seemed a bit overwhelmed for some reason. The menu is limited and misleading. All the entrees are titled "center of the table" as if they're meant to be shared but they're definitely not. The folks that ordered the burger were happy enough. We (mistakenly) ordered the $41 lamb chops....which was 3 lamb chops on the bone that were extremely tough and not worth the price. Also, the steak was $75 and I can't help but wonder who orders the steak while sitting on an uncomfortable bar top table at the top of a hotel. Took ages to get checks, they don't take cash. Party of 8 was considered a large group and was charged a 20% fee per check. The balcony/rooftop is cute or whatever, but this place just kinda gave "we're better than everyone" vibes but then didn't deliver on the concept. I'd MAYBE go back for a drink but wouldn't eat here again.

Beautiful environment. Had a blast for Mothers Day!!! Great atmosphere, Great food, our hostess was Perfect!!! Took great care of us

If you imagined a rooftop lounge with great food and drinks this is the bar of your dreams. The views are breathtaking. The staff is amazing (thank you Jaden Smith for world class service), the drinks are like candy. You can make a reservation online for lounge or table and honestly we started at 4pm. We are barely leaving at 8pm but plan to make our way back here by the end of the night for the night life. The food is amazing, quick, and hot to serve. It's not crowded, it's not noisy, it's not bougie. It's just right. I recommend anyone wanting to celebrate a birthday or just visiting, this is the place to get a view of the city.

Booked a reservation in advance with the dining option and a preference of outside seating. Arrived at our time and they sat us outside on one of the two patios. Unfortunately, the sun was beaming that day and we asked to move to other patio with more shade! They were willing to accommodate us to the couch outside closest to the glass with the best view!! Only happened by chance though! **You're not able to choose your table because it's based off reservation timing so that's one thing to consider when visiting!** Drinks were flavorful and thoughtfully crafted but expensive. However, I cannot vouch for food because we came here for drinks only!

I recently dined at The Moon's Daughter and, unfortunately, my experience left much to be desired. Despite the restaurant not being particularly busy, service was incredibly slow. It took around 45 minutes just to receive our first round of drinks, and subsequent rounds took another 30 minutes each. To make matters worse, the staff completely forgot to bring the last drink my wife ordered. While the drinks themselves were well-made, the delays were frustrating. As for the food, it was decent but certainly not worth the price tag. The "sharable" scallops dish, which was misleadingly advertised as plural, arrived as a single scallop--far from what we expected for a sharable plate. The lamb chops, while tasty, came in a very small portion of just four bite-sized pieces. The eggplant side was the biggest disappointment, arriving overcooked to the point of being mushy, resembling mashed potatoes in texture. For a total cost of around $175 for two people, the experience did not justify the price. Given the slow service, small portions, and the average quality of the food, there are many better options in San Antonio where you can enjoy better food, service, and value. Sadly, I would not recommend The Moon's Daughter, and I don't plan to return.

Honest review: the ambiance and vibes were good but the food selection was pretty poor. They recently condensed their menu so if you've been there before Don't expect the same options. Went with vegan friends and they had a hard time finding something to eat. The server did try her best to accommodate but it is a fixed menu. I would only go back for the drinks and vibes

Didn't eat here, just cocktails. It's a great spot for that, very much a nightclub scene. Had a rude bartender who closed his bar with a line of about 10 people. When I asked him why he was not going service the folks already in cue, he went bar nazi on me, "no drinks for you" so had to go to the inside bar. Totally rude and unnecessary. Everyone one else in service at this hotel has been fantastic.

It's very hard to rate this place because the music, service, and ambiance were incredible. The view was breathtaking and it was great to see another view of beautiful San Antonio. So five stars for that. However, the food and drinks didn't meet my expectations. Don't get me wrong, the drinks were good, I just didn't think they were worth the price. The food, I wasn't a fan of at all. The calamari was probably the only thing that I would say tasted super fresh and delicious. The rest of the food did not meet my expectations when looking at the price of what I'm paying. Would I come back? Absolutely! I would come back to have a few drinks and enjoy the view and music with some friends but I would make sure I eat something before going.

We had really high expectations coming here but it didn't really live up to our hopes. We had reservations and were seated in the couch area vs an actual table. Since we wanted to actually have dinner, we were moved to a table. Beautiful views on the roof but it was very windy. Bathrooms were very clean. However, at one point someone in our party felt kind of threatened when she was in the bathroom by some men who were being obnoxious to her so that wasn't cool. Our server was not the most attentive, but was apologetic. They were obviously having a bad night but there was no offer to accommodate anything due to the long waits. The food overall was pretty good. Lamb ragu and lamb burger were very good.

Such a phenomenal experience at the Moon's daughter! Let's just put aside the fact that you probably have the best view of downtown in the entire city of San Antonio, wait staff is phenomenal, and the restrooms so clean that you could literally eat off the floor; they also have delicious food! I go to enjoy multiple dishes such as the Greek burger, Gnocchi, and Late nIght Braised Lamb. It was excellent! If you're a San Antonio citizen and haven't enjoy the Moon's Daughter, you need to check it out San Antonio! Reservations are highly recommended and encouraged.

My friends and i came to check out the bar while visiting , the bar was very pretty and modern. The view was just beautiful and the drinks were great. The staff was beyond friendly and very attentive.

This bar has the best views in town. It's beautiful anytime of day, but sunset is amazing. They bar has views from two different angles. The drinks are good. The bartenders are always friendly and fast. They give good drink recommendations too. They have inside and outside seating. They have tables and couches. The times I have had their food, it was good. They take reservations, but we walked in no problem. We did get there at 6pm. May be different at a later time. The elevator will take up to the bar without a card. It won't stop at any other floors unless you have a card. Valet parking is available or you can find street parking.

Didn't enjoy the ambience or the food give it a 4 service took a long time and restaurant wasn't exactly full

I found this place after I searched high rise bars on TikTok. It's located on the 20th floor. It is a beautiful stunning view and there are affordable drinks. I did not try the food but the service was outstanding at the bar. I spent most of my time outside looking at the city view. I went right before sundown which was the perfect time to go. I love the vibe and aura of this place and I can't wait to go back and try the food.

I enjoyed the bar. We have been here several times and the drinks are pretty good. The menu changes pretty often (maybe every couple of months), so that is nice. If you get a spot at the bar you are good for the night, if you get there pretty late ordering a drink can be pretty tough. Service is good though, I usually try to get the same bartender each time as he makes very good off menu drinks. The drinks on menu are very good and different, but I prefer gin/fruity drinks, so making a request off menu is always pretty interesting as well! We have had brunch here and the appetizers, all have been very good! The building itself is beautiful, we love the Thompson decor and interior design, so moons daughter keep that elegant feel throughout! I would recommend Moons daughter, but depending on the day and time be prepared for a packed space.

Where I live in Seattle, We have a Thompson Hotel with a rooftop and I absolutely love it, so I knew I had to try the Moons Daughters on the Thompson Hotel in SA. We came the Friday before Labor Day. I made a reservation for 2pm on Friday (which was right when they opened), but I got a call that day stating their kitchen that day wouldn't open until 4pm and asked if I wanted to push back my reservation in case our party wanted food. Compared to the rooftop in Seattle, most of this rooftop restaurant is inside, but there are two patios. There wasn't a lot of people inside the restaurant at the time we showed up. There is a side room with a small bar right when you walk in and then there is the main room. We got right to our table and our server Emeka, got us taken care of right away. Once we got our drinks, we walked around outside to catch in the views. The patio to the north (i think..you walk through the smaller room to get it it) definitely has the better views of the city and has couches, tables and a bar top to sit at. It was very hot, so it was nice to go outside for a bit and then go inside when you start to sweat. While we did not end up getting food, from the menu, it appears to be more like light meals, but nothing that would keep you full like an actual meal. Staff was great, bathroom was clean and the drinks were yummy. Great for groups or just date night. I would be interested to see how the views are at night time with all the lights.

The chicken was moist, but the noodles had clumps of paste stuck together ($35). The steak was good, but the side greens were not ($75). The waiter was knowledgeable and friendly. The view was the best part of the evening.
