What People Are Saying About Spindletop

The Editor

Citysearch

In Short – The Spindletop continues to delight locals and tourists alike with its romantic atmosphere, top-notch service and slowly rotating skyline views. Dine among the heights of downtown Houston as you sample the menu's innovative steak and seafood dishes. Highlights include the pan roasted black bass, mussels steamed with coconut milk and 12-spiced New York steak. Steamed Maine lobster and roasted rack of lamb are satisfying classics. Dessert is a must.

View is worth it, everything else - subpar

by jjbraunius at Citysearch

I took some out of town guests that wanted to see something different, in this case - a view of Houston's downtown from above.

First visit this time turned to be a miss - the restaurants' website showed it as open on that day but they had decided to close it, due to it being January 2nd that day. We came back again a few days later and this time it was open.

Having eaten there previously for my mother's birthday and found the food and service pretty much below average, we thought we can't go wrong with desserts and an aperitif. What we got was 4 times a $12 piece of stale cake each and it probably took about 30 mins to get it to us, considering that in our line of view we were the only table and there were at least 3 waiters lingering around the whole time.

At least the view interested our guests so we wanted to leave them with a good impression. If we were alone we would've left pretty quick.

To be honest with this type of restaurant - the San Francisco restaurant of similar type (downtown view) was just as poor with the wait-staff even more incompetent than Houston's. It must be the type of business - as long as the view is there and new people come in, who cares about the idiots that might want to come back?

  • Pros: View
  • Cons: everything else
