My husband and I went to Spindletop the first week they opened back up and were floored by the new look! They really did a great job giving this restaurant the face lift that it n...

Lets see here where are my notes..... First the music was bad was not uptempo lounge that's what this place needs. The carpet is horrible - I felt like the staff wanted me to ...

An Original Restuarant! 11/21/2006

Now it's been some time since I've been to SpindleTop, but I've gone three times...so far :-) Yes, the menu is a tad pricy (Ranges from $15-$35 a plate), Yes, there's not a large amount of food to match its price, and Yes, the servers are quiet, but there are plenty of upsides! How many revolving restaurants do you know of? I never once felt annoyed by the servers. They came at just the right moments. Never over-doing it so I could have my space. I don't eat large amounts of food in one sitting, so the portion worked out in my favor. I ALWAYS have to take home leftovers. You're paying for the restaurant's originality, their decor, and the experience! I WILL...be going again :-) Pros: Unique, View, Experience Cons: Need more of variety to choose from on menu more

Lets put a review on the front page, Yeah, how smart are these people 11/17/2006

Look, we tried it and were very dissapointed all the way from service, to food taste and especially portions. i really disliked the pricing. You dont get what you pay for. I'll never forget my experience, the fact that you have such a great concept, and well thats it. It's like a looking at a brand new ferrari and then finding out there is no engine or transmission. Please take your concept and sell it to someone with passion to really exploit the good points of houston fine dining circle. more

Very Romantic 11/16/2006

Me and my husband went here on a weekend getaway. I have got to say the view was spectacular, the food was great. The steak was amongst one of the best i've eaten in houston. If you go in the evening be sure to dress according. It's not your everyday resurant,upper class, and moderatley priced. I cannot wait to go again. Pros: A little pricey but well worth it Cons: Spectacular view of downtown skyline more

Romantic 11/16/2006

This is a romantic place to take your partner. The service was fabulous. The food is exceptional. Make sure you have reservations before you go and you also can let them know you are celebrating an anniversary or birthday and they will get you hooked up. more

Horrible Service, Horrible Chicken, Water Dripping Inside 7/7/2006

Absolutely horrible and I will never return. The ambiance was great, fantastic views of the city. However water from the condensation on the windows was dripping throughout the entire meal, right onto the window ledge, which would then bounce on to me, my husband and our table. The server said no more than about 20 words to us (it got so humerous, we actually counted) and his chicken was blander than a child's first barbeque. We made a reservation but after checking in with the hostess stand, we were herded off to the side with about 4 other couples, waiting to be seated. Interesting thing was practically the entire restaurant was empty. This was supposed to be my birthday celebration, however we wanted to get out of there so fast, we didn't even want to stay. MAYBE I would return just for drinks, but even those are overpriced (as they are at most fine dining establishments). We spent $80 for our meal and then promptly went to a fast food restaurant to stuff our famished faces for $7. Pros: View, Comp Parking Cons: Limited Menu, Horrible Service, Horrible Food more

Great Date Place 3/8/2006

The view is incredible, the lighting is spectacular at night, and the place is quiet. This is my favorite dating restaurant. The food, service, and atmosphere will combine for a romantic evening for you and a companion. This place is great for special occasions or if you're just trying to impress someone....I recommend the rack of lamb. Pros: View, Quiet more

Revolving Memory 12/17/2005

I took my fiancee here for drinks and appetizers, before heading downtown for a play. She really enjoyed the ambiance, the waiter's attention to detail, the wine selection, and the crab cakes. The Spindletop always offers a quiet, romantic, alternative to the many noisy, dull places downtown in Houston. The view and revolving restaurant are inspiring, and if you cannot find romance in the atmospher, then it's time to hang up your relationship. Pros: Spectacular View, Apple Martinis, Service Cons: Price, Limited Menu, Parking more

A perfect evening of dining 4/26/2005

The view is everything you could expect - spectacular. The service and food are top rate. We had the steak and it was the best steak - cooked perfectly - we have had anywhere in recent years. It was low light and quiet, very romantic. We ate at a leisurely pace, never felt hurried. We will return again and again and hope you will treat yourself and your signficant other as soon as possible! Pros: food, ambiance, service more

Totally Over-rated 4/14/2005

Totally over-rated restaurant. Spindletop is a great place for viewing pleasure, but the food was bland. We didn't leave enough room for dessert, so maybe next time we'll just have dessert and enjoy the view since we didn't care too much for the food. It's a very romantic restaurant. Overall, the best part about it is the view =) more

Romantic 2/18/2004

I went to Spindletop many years ago with my high school boyfriend. I went again two weeks ago with my husband and boy have things changed. This restaurant is so romantic. I love how the views change as the restaurant rotates! Food was good, the service was friendly, and the dining area was clean. I would highly recommend if you have never been. Plus, valet parking is free when you dine!! Pros: free valet parking, views more
