    For years, martiniboys.com staff has hit this bar - for professional reasons, of course. (Hey, it's the least we can do for you, our awesome readers.) Along the way, we sampled apple martinis (they're green), pastas, pizzas, Greek pita and other pub-style sandwiches. .

    Go late one night (7 West is open 24 hours daily) and try get a spot on that super-tiny two-table patio overlooking the Charles Street riff-raff, and let the barkeep make you some cool signature something-or-other that may or may not contain Stoli, Midori, Southern Comfort and sweet-and-sour mix. We'll stick to Cosmopolitans, thanks. – S.W.

    Diiiiirrrrrt cheap! Wahooo!

    I think it might have been a slow night when we were there. But the food and drink were cheap, and because the place was slow, they played our CDs that we just bought. Very cool

    I have had a very good time every time I've been there. The menu is relatively plain, but the food is always very good. As a bonus, they always make you feel welcome. I recommend Seven West highly.

    Andrew (comment number 7), Charles Street is not Yorkville.

    The only reason why this place should stay opened is because it is 24 hours. However,service is brutal, food is terrible, I have been there twice, and twice I had hair in the tuna melt. The staff looks homeless, so does the management. The staff is bitter and miserable. (I would be too, if I worked in a dump like that) NEVER going back. WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND.

    The music is awful and never change, how could people stand with that? And the desk is sticky always.

    It's been the same for over a decade. Same location and same design... but can't they update the menu just a tad?

    Ok, it's not the best restaurant in town but it is probably the cutest!

    The food is okay, the price is inexpensive and the service great. It's a place where I would take my friends or family friends since the other places in the area are a little on the ghetto side.

    Went to Seven Cafe last friday night and it was a bad experience all around. The club music combined with the large number of spackled filled holes in the walls left a lot to be desired in atmosphere. The menu is limited at best. Our server was one of the worst I have ever had. She didn't introduce herself, brought a drink we didn't order, when we asked her to make a recommendations between two dishes she said one and wrote it down before the person could say they wanted that dish, and she never checked up on us after she dropped off the meals. The martinis tasted awful and the food was mediocre at best.

    I just finished shopping with my friends and the four of us had been wanting to see what 7 West Cafe was like, so we headed over for dinner.

    We were seated on the first floor, and the table was sticky. My friends and I had a hard time getting the attention of our waitress. When we finally got the attention of our waitress, she wiped it down with a damp cloth and left wet. Even after it dried, the tables were still a bit sticky.

    We weren't asked to order until 15 minutes after being seated. When we did, we ordered the 7 west platter as an appetizer. For the main course, I ordered Penne Primavera and my friends ordered vegetarian pizza, prego steak sandwich and Lasagna.

    I ordered rum and coke from the bar and it was really weak - I could barely taste the rum! It was worst than going to a night club for drinks.

    The pizza was soggy and very oily. There wasn't a lot of flavour. The penne chicken was gross - the sauce was very thin.

    After a great day of shopping, the night ended poorly with bad service and bad food. I'm never going back...

    Very uncomfortable seating, I felt as if I was sitting on a park bench. The second time I went to this restaurant with a friend and he placed an order for a salad. 10-15 min later, the server brings him the salad. We tasted it and it seemed as if the salad was dipped in a bucket of water, barely dried off and dressed with nasty dressing. We sent the salad back and it still tasted disgusting.
