I moved to Houston as a kid about the time the Spindletop opened and I remember wanting to visit it ever since. I tried a couple of times but it was out of commission due to storms, or, simply booked. Finally, I was able to take my wife there this last weekend. She and I are in the habit of trying both new and established restaurants and we embrace the experience (even if I am prone to steak places) I 'm not sure what I expected, but to me it was meh . I don 't think I built it up due to my long time curiosity. I knew buildings had encroached on the view...which still had patches of the spectacular when passing City Hall and the Aquarium Ferris Wheel, but the decor and service was average at...
This place has been around since the 70s in one iteration or another I'm told. Novel, rotating restaurant that makes a full revolution in about 45 minutes. Seafood heavy menu prepared by the hotel culinary team. Service is excellent. I emailed ahead and asked for the chef to come out to the table and talk about the menu which they did. Chef was very nice and well informed. Had a lot of knowledge about the menu and had been with the hotel for over a decade at one location or another. Tried the Charcuterie board and the seafood Mac for starters. Seafood Mac was on point but the Charcuterie board left a lot to be desired. These boards are being done well in many botique establishments and even...
Dining in a rotating restaurant with stunning views of the city of Houston provides a memorable and unique experience. When you add attentive service and delicious meals to the mix, it creates an unforgettable moment. Spindletop delivered on all fronts. The wine selection was impressive, and our server made a fantastic recommendation based on our preferences. My lamb dish was beautifully presented, tender, and delectable. My dining companion also enjoyed her surf and turf dinner. There were no complaints about our visit. I would easily give this restaurant a five-star rating for an incredible culinary experience.
This restaurant is one of the best places in Houston for special occasions such as anniversaries. It is the only revolving restaurant in Houston and offers amazing views along with delicious dishes. It has a very elegant atmosphere, but it can be a bit pricey. However, the quality of the food and service make it worth it. The portions may be small, but the taste is exceptional. We highly recommend trying dishes like grilled Pacific tiger shrimp, southwest jumbo lump crab cakes, roasted red snapper, and ancho-glazed grilled chicken breast. Overall, it is the perfect place to spend quality time together.

The food, drinks, and service were impeccable (except for hostess who seemed to be unhappy with her job) would’ve received 5 stars if they were more accommodating with the seating. We made a reservation in advanced didn’t know you had to specify in order to sit by the window and enjoy the view. The hostess told us that the seating would be full so we were not allowed to sit there. Unfortunately that was not the case at all, place was so empty I felt that I had to whisper as to not be too loud. If they would’ve sat us by the view we would’ve stayed double the time and spent double the money.
Love the atmosphere at the Spindletop restaurant. The restaurant is upscale and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. The views of the city at night, with all the lights and movement of traffic, is beautiful. The food was wonderful, although I wouldn't rate it 5 stars. Limited menu, also makes it difficult for individuals with dietary restrictions.
The restaurant was incredibly romantic and the staff was very kind. The prices were high, but the quality of the food justified it. The view of the Ferris wheel and city streets from the table was amazing. It felt like being in a different world at that moment.
Well unfortunately yes it's hit or miss with this restaurant.. My husband and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary here. We had okay service and the food wasn't amazing but we still had a great night. Our waiter seemed overwhelmed and the chef looked tired.
