Diner Reviews

"I love this restaurant, but the noise level is usually too much for me. Sunday evening in the summer was a great time - the food and service is always great, and my buddies and I could hear each other! Sweet!"

"First visit to 7 West to celebrate our anniversary. While less fancy then our usual choices we were very happy with our choice. The spinach dip was delicious. Great Martini selection. I had the lamb shank, which was on special and it was incredibly tender and delicious - no knife needed. Our server was very attentive and kept our drinks and water filled. My husbands ribs were also extremely tender but too saucy for my preference. Side dishes were really good - roasted potatoes and stewed green beans very good. Overall we loved our experience at 7 West and will return."

"7 West is trying to be something and not quite making the mark. To start the decor is truly awkward, it's like trying to put my Russian Grandma's fancy living room in a warehouse style wide open restaurant. They could do with some modernizing and playing to the open ceiling with a more abstract decor. The service was good, attentive and friendly. Food was ok, I asked about the ravioli and it's frozen, the Chicken Souvlaki was bland but it wasn't bad. We had just hoped for more! My husbands steak salad was great, well seasoned and beautiful and fresh. We would go again but chooses menu items carefully."

"I frequently visit 7 West as I enjoy the scenery and great food and drink specials. The half-price appetizers anywhere in the restaurant are a big hit for me and the service is always A1. The manager is always around and often stops by to say hello. They also have complimentary photos to highlight your experience. Love this place!"

"We've been going to this restaurant since it opened, the food is consistent and tasty. We go there about 2x a month."

"The oven roasted potatoes seem to be the star here. They were amazing. However, I was disappointed that the burger we ordered medium came to us rare (almost medium rare). Keep up the hard work."

"The best whole bronzini we have had in a long time. With a mix of Greek, Italian and American fare 7 West was a great dinner choice in the heart of Towson."

"Our daughter chose 7 West for her birthday dinner. We were thrilled, because we all love it there. The service is always good, and their crab cakes are delicious and HUGE!!! A great restaurant for 2 people or for a party."

"A great choice with consistently good food. Our waiter was great. Their menu takes care of all eating preferences, vegan, veg, g/f. After a little confusion with our reservation, an appetizer was comped (really no need, but a nice gesture) and the rest of the dinner was great. We would definitely go back again. My husband loves the lamb chops."

"Met up with family (all of us out of state) & found this delightful gem! Couldn't believe the overall value from the valet parking right down to dessert! Definitely a surprise to find such fabulous cuisine at such affordable prices especially in the DC/Metro area! The Mediterranean salad was perfectly Greek-not a lettuce leaf to be found: bravo! The crab dip delicious & a wonderful example for any proud Marylander! The roasted eggplant dip simply splendid! The Santorini-style shrimp/pasta dish overwhelming with prawns & such flavor! The lamb-chops simply bone-suckling yummy! And I've never seen such a large "petite" crab cake! If we only lived closer than 3-1/2 hours away we'd be there EVERY week! Can't wait to find an excuse to RETURN!"

"We came back to Baltimore to visit and knew we wanted this restaurant again. It did not disappoint. The service was very good and the meals were delicious. The crab ravioli was very tasty, the cream sauce, while delicious, may be a bit heavy for some. Hamburgers always a success, salads delicious and the wine and bear selections were perfect. Love the hummus and falafel appetisers. Overall, a solid performer and easy to make reservations via open table. Will go here again and again. My only recommendation is perhaps to have salads included with the entrees."

"Took my Mom here for an early Mother's Day lunch around 4pm on Friday. We had a great time. She loved it. We had a wonderful and efficient waiter that took care of everything. I'd highly recommend this restaurant. "

"It was very quiet there Easter Sunday. The burgers were cooked exactly the way we wanted them and were delicious."
Dined on 4/20/2014
"The choices of food are broad enough to allow groups to find the tasty treat they prefer with Mediterranean flavor. The quality of the food was delicious. One of our guest's comments on the spinach ravioli was it could be more flavorful with spinach mixed WITHIN the ravioli cheese and not just in the pasta. Service was comfortably attentive. Definitely a nice place to visit for brunch after church."
Dined on 4/20/2014
"The entree food was good-crab cakes were delicious and large. The calamari was just mediocre-the breading fell off, and they tasted frozen. The tiramisu was rally bad-it looked like a whoopie pie with cream in the middle"

"We were in town visiting our son in college. I found 7 West on the internet and liked the menu, reviews & pictures. They did not dissapoint! We were seated promptly, the food was really good. We were eating lighter fare, appetizers and burgers, but they were great, ample portions and high quality. Beer selection was good. An added bonus, live music on a Friday night! We didn't stay after we ate, but it looked like the bar was getting crowded and there was room for dancing to the music, so I would say if we were not tired from the 7 hour drive, we would have stayed and hung out longer. I will definately go back again."
Dined on 4/12/2014
"The food was delicious and we did not have to wait long at all even though it was a Friday night. Andre, our server , was kind and very knowledgable regarding the menu. The manager made a point to check on all patrons and was very gracious. The complimentary bottle of wine was most appreciated. 7 west now has 2 new regulars !!! Sincerely, Mark Freyer and Larry Sampson"

"Reservations went smoothly through Open Table. 7 West Bistro staff called to confirm early on the day of the reservation (for a Friday night for 4 at 6:30) and told me about valet parking for $3, which I hadn't known about. We were seated quickly. Our waiter was friendly, answered questions, brought drinks, and gave us more time. Our table ordered a pasta dish, two larger salads - chicken and salmon, and a burger. The food was delivered inside of 15 minutes which was perfect since we were still drinking and talking. We were all content with the quality, presentation, taste and portions of our meals. 7 West has a nice upscale casual feel to it. Overall we had a very good experience, and will likely return next time we're in town."

"Greek salad instead of the side salad; $2 extra, ok it states it in the menu, but really didn't need to be reminded upon ordering. Ordered the humus appetizer, asked if we wanted some additional pita slices given the leftover hummus. Sure, thanks. The $200 bill arrives and as I peruse it, there is a 50 cent charge for the added pita, which was offered not requested. Lastly, Valeted the car at 8:45 pm, there was a sign that read $3 valet parking. Ok, I'm fine with that , and upon retrieval of the vehicle ,after dinner at approximately 10:45, I hand the valet $5 for the service, with $2 included as a tip. The valet then informs me that the is $6 not $3 given that it is after 10pm. Bad strategy, this is not an airline, with limited choices."

"Mediocre chicken parm, with overcooked pasta and sauce that tasted like it came from a jar. My wife had rockfish and broccoli- the broccoli was the better of the 2. Service was lackluster. You would do better eating at a chain restaurant. Would not return"
Dined on 4/3/2014
"We have eaten at 7 West numerous times. The meals have always been delicious. This time was a disappointment. I ordered the Rock Fish. It had a pungent fish taste but other than that there was not much flavor. My husband order the cod fish. It was rubbery and difficult to eat. Neither of us finished our meals."

"We arrived early for our reservation and was promptly seated....at a table immediately adjoining another party....very distracting. Waited too long for our server. I told the server that I had a severe food allergy. He suggested that we not eat there. I have eaten in many restaurants (explaining my allergy) and never had any problems. I requested to speak to the manager. The manager arrived 15 plus minutes after our request. He was polite and assured us that they would take precautions. Manager took our orders and then had the original server wait on us. The server made rude remarks all throughout our dinner such as "I see everyone is still alive" and the like. Service was extremely poor and food was over priced and over-cooked."
Dined on 3/8/2014
"Our food was really good however the service left a lot to be desired. Our waitress wasn't very attentive to our needs. She continued to come over to the table asking if we were ready to order when, clearly we had our menus open. In addition, we needed more water and had to ask for it. We ordered a pitcher of sangria which she left at the table and didn't offer to pour for us. The list goes on…"
Dined on 3/8/2014
"I enjoyed the food and found the service and ambience quite adequate. However, I did find the restaurant to be noisier than I like. My wife was disappointed in her meal. She found the chicken too fatty and left most of her meal uneaten. We are from out of town, but most likely when visiting Towson again, we will give the restaurant another chance."

"Excellent, fresh, Mediterranean food. The only place in the suburb with DJ and sanding after dinner. Great for parties."
Dined on 2/22/2014
"This restaurant was WAY overrated. Not sure why the disconnect, but the ambience is nonexistent. It seems like a converted sports bar or strip joint, given the wide open spaces and the leopard skin carpet. Food was a tad below average. My shrimp was limp and tasteless, my wife's skewered chicken you could bounce off the floor, and my son's hanger stake mediocre. All, in all, it was a waste of time and money and I would suggest you do not waste you time. Besides, like I said, the reviews MUST have been written by the owners."

"The crab cake is huge and lumpy. It is seasoned perfectly. We ate here twice this month and I got the crab cake both times because I was so pleased with it!"
Dined on 2/21/2014
"My wife, friend and daughter had dinner on Saturday. I had high hopes based on the menu, but I was thoroughly disappointed. Service was slow, we waited >5 minutes for water. The waiter seemed to have too many tables. When we ordered our food I asked the waiter to have the chef purée the sauce on my daughters chicken parm. The chef refused, and claimed to be too busy despite the open tables in the dining room at 7:30 on a Saturday night. The quality was poor, preparation of all meals was clumsy at best. Over cooked salmon & dried out. Lousy crab cakes that were deep fried (I never expected that). The warm apple tart dessert was served cold. My Gray Goose martini almost certainly was bar vodka. An all around poor performance."

"The crab cake was awesome in taste, size and price! We will definitely be back!"

"We had a nice dinner this week at 7 West Bistro Grille. The menu offered a nice variety of choices, and we enjoyed the salmon salad, the tilapia, and the chicken broccolini. The beer and wine menu is satisfactory. There is a surprising amount of space in the restaurant, which helps to keep the noise to a minimum."
