Diner Reviews

"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."

"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."

"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"

"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"

"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."

"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."

"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"

"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…"

"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."

"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."
Dined on 2/23/2014
"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."

"Excellent, fresh, Mediterranean food. The only place in the suburb with DJ and sanding after dinner. Great for parties."

"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!"

"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."

"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."

"The food was phenomenal, especially the crab based offerings which were stellar. Good sized food portions for the money, so you definitely won't feel shorted for the money. Friendly and attentive staff. Excellent restaurant all around. It is a place for a very vibrant crowd, so if you don't mind noise and being close to other patrons, give it a shot."

"service was excellent waiter attentive I ordered a French Martini, what ? a French Martini with no Vodka. My guest ordered the Salmon with I think was crab Imperial it was too salty and she only ate a small portion. I ordered beef it was sliced not a very tasty cut of beef and it was at best OK"

"Really a nice spot in Towson. We spent time talking to one of the owners who really to trying (and succeeding) in bringing something worthwhile to the community,"

"It was my 23 birthday and I have been to almost every restaurant in Towson. After some research via Google, I found 7 West. I had heard of it before, but never been. When I went to make a reservation, there were limited options. This place is popular, so make your reservation early! The food was exceptional, with lots of Italian and seafood options. Portions are large and great for the price. The service we received was above average. Definitely recommend for all kinds of occasions!"

"I had the chicken gyro with fries and the 7 west martini. The martini was very good and was made quickly, same goes for the food. The bread they serve before your meal is delicious."

"I took a friend here for dinner whom I hadn't seen in a while. This was her first time and my 3rd. I wasn't very impressed with our waiter. He didn't know the menu and wasn't very attentive. We had to flag him down for cocktails and then again when we needed water. The saving grace is that the food was really good and it came out pretty quickly. I would definitely go back hoping that we got a different waiter."

"A co-worker told me about this restaurant. i've been in the area and never knew the restaurant was there. My husband and I went for a late dinner after Bible Study and the food was delicious. We had the Southwest egg rolls. They were so fresh. You have to try them. I am a seafood lover, so I had the crab cake dinner. Delicious!!"

"Really great crab cakes and a varied menu. We were seated away from the bar...but the party seated behind us were so noisy that I had to strain to have a conversation with our dining partners. Certainly not the restaurant's fault."

"We have been here before and have always been pleased with the food. This time, the food was still good, but there were a few problems. The crab cake had more filler than we had noted before, and a burger was not cooked to order. There were a few mix-ups in the order. A salad was requested in substitute for the fries (as per the menu option), however, both the fries and salad were presented. The wrong veggies were served with another entree. Overall, we were still pleased, and would definitely return. Maybe the server was new."
Dined on 11/9/2013
"We had a nice meal. It was a Friday night and there were a lot of people at the bar, having a good time. The service was a bit spotty - one of the wait staff literally reached across people at the table to put food in front of someone else ( space was not the issue). One of them also came and checked with one person about her drink, and did not check on anyone else, instead turned around quickly and left. It was lively, but it was not until we left that several of us noticed that our ears were ringing."

"We go to Seven West Grille for the delicious food. Colorful and flavorful Greek Salad, yummy hot bread with olive oil, grilled lamb chops- so delicious come with roasted potatoes and Greek style stewed string beans with tomatoes and onions. (We recommend the crab cakes too.) Finished the meal with a berry pie ala mode and slice of snickers pie. The snickers pie was very rich but the berry pie tasted homemade with a bit of big sugar sprinkles on the top. Food is consistently excellent. They even had a musician softly playing music - a keyboard."
