I did not have high expectations for this place. I know that it's far nicer than the average lunch spot around MSG, but my experience with food around the area has been meh/above average. I came here two months ago at the suggestion of a friend who also works in midtown. He hadn't been here before either, but we figured for a fancier lunch, why not? As you can see by the rating, I was pleasantly surprised.
We got a few things to split, but only one stood out: the Yellow Fin Tuna Poke (prepared w/ red onion, chopped macadamias, spicy sesame aioli, marinated sea weed, wonton crisps). A must-order. Beautifully prepared, and the delicious variety of flavors/textures made it well worth the $15. The only disappointment, and I probably say this often on Yelp, is that I wanted twice as much as I ended up eating. Sharing is caring though…I guess…
The ambiance here is great. Upscale but not snooty in any way. Very spacious and warm, prompt and personable service, all that good stuff. We came here at 2pm-ish on a weekday, and we were pretty much the only people there. I gather this spot is more popular as a post-game/post-concert spot. And just because it stood out to me – the alcohol selection is impressive here, at least for this area. If it was happy hour as opposed to midday, I'm sure I would have tested their bartending skills.
– recommend: homemade wild mushroom ravioli and handmade cavatelli pasta
– the lobster mac n cheese was good. . but probably the least favorite of what we ordered
– personable and considerate staff (that let us peacefully sit and talk for several hours even after we had finished our meal, while still coming by to refill our water glasses)
– reasonable pricing for the area
– all of the pasta came out aldente and the cream sauces were indulgent without being heavy
Managed to get a table up stairs where it was quieter, but not as social as downstairs. Food choice was ok and our meals were great: trout and shrimp.
Our waiter was ok, not overly polite but not rude. Would go their again.
What's the saying? "You get what you pay for" Seven Bar & Grill certainly falls within the pot! I recently when for lunch with my boss at Seven. I was immediately greeted by a very cool hostess (literally she had blue hair….I liked her)! I was early, so I appreciate Seven offers a seating area ( with actually seats and duel sofas) so you can COMFORTABLY wait for your party. Instead of awkwardly standing around lol . The sound of sweet jazz is playing so sweet on your eardrums in the background( you like that huh?). Once seated. I order a lamb burger with feta fries and mac and cheese croquettes. Honestly the mac & cheese croquettes were the STAR of my meal. MMMM. Definitely pay this place a visit!!!!
I'm noticing that recent reviews are showing a lot more love to Seven Bistro than in years past. From my visit there on my recent trip to NYC, I can see why as they must have up'd their game…I had a great meal experience at Seven.
I found Seven on my Yelp app as being close to my hotel (and Penn Station) and offering some pretty good entree selections so my choice was made. Inside, the atmosphere is very nicely finished, a bit dark with wood finishes but a classy feel. You could dress down or up for this place. The front has a couple of sofa areas for meeting up with friends for drinks/apps, a very nice bar area itself, and plenty of tables/booths both on the main floor and upstairs. I was shown to my table promptly and given my menus, which gave great offerings in food and drink. I started with a Hopeless Romantix cocktail, which was very tasty. Next was the Housemade Chicken Pot Stickers with sesame sweet and sour sauce. They were very good, and the sauce absolutely made them! The chef came by and told me actually I was the "guinea pig" as they just added them, and I gave my approval. I finished up with the Lobster Mac N Cheese that had a white cheddar cheese sauce and a crunchy topping. Again, this selection was great, very creamy and delicious sauce. Enjoying a coffee after my meal, I savored it all and was happy with my choice to explore Seven.
Bottom line: A great meal experience here at Seven Bistro. Both the Housemade Chicken Pot Stickers and the Lobster Mac N Cheese were wonderful selections and I recommend them both. Definitely worth some four star love here on Yelp!
Nice restaurant in midtown close to MSG/Penn Station!
The staff here is very attentive and the service is quick. I was with a group and we ordered a bunch of small plates and entrees for dinner. The presentation was very well done but the portions were on the small side and we were not too happy with the spinach and artichoke dip.
Overall, I'd probably be back if I was in the area and wanted to grab dinner in a place that wasn't primarily a midtown bar.
Had a bite to eat here before a basketball game at the Garden. It was so-so, nothing spectacular. The bar is nice, has a good amount of space to accommodate people, food was ok, but a bit pricey. Good place to grab a drink before a game though.
I hate to give this place two stars, but my medium-well burger was so badly burnt and dried out that I have no choice. It was charred on the outside. How you can serve that to a customer who asked for a medium well burger, I don't know. The upstairs area is less loud than the downstairs. Service was ok, just a bit slow. Very underwhelmed by my experience here, but then again, I wasn't expecting to be wowed at a place near Penn Station.
