Seventh South Craft Food + Drink

"We were charged a 3 % credit card processing fee on our bill. This is trend that must be stopped. The use of a credit card is a convenience for the restaurant and the patron. The cost to the restaurant should be considered a cost of doing business. Consider to increase your prices if your must but it makes no sense to upset your patrons who feel offended by this practice. We will not return to this restaurant for this reason alone. Out appetizer was never delivered and was offered to us after our first course was on the table. We then cancelled the order for the appetizer. One of the entrees in our group of 3 was delivered as the wrong entree. Poor service in this regard and poor timing of the orders. We will not return."

"We were last here about five years ago, and the place has improved VASTLY since then. Everything from the menu to the food itself and the service. Oh my goodness. I wish we had given them a second chance a lot sooner than now! First of all, Lauren is a TREASURE of a server. You know how you can tell when someone is just a great human in general? She's that person, and then you add to the fact that she has a wonderful personality and pays attention to details and you have a great server. If you food allergies, she listens and writes them down. Two of us made a meal of these four things: Fried green tomatoes Hot pimento dip Wahoo tiradito Sweet potato goat cheese latke I love a good fried green tomato, and they have managed to get the goat cheese *inside* the batter without the batter falling apart. How? HOW do they do that? I do not know, but your mouth will thank you for shoveling it in that piehole of yours. It's fantastic and easily the best fried green tomato you'll find in this city. Where do I start with the hot pimento dip? It even has peppadew peppers in it. Come on now, that's just fun to say. Put on a southern drawl and say it until the person you're eating dinner with decides to pull the tray of hot buttered focaccia away from you. Don't shy away from the candied jalapenos. If you've ever gotten the jar of pickled jalapenos from Trader Joe's, these are better. The dip is a good mix of cheese and pepper, and then you get hit with these sweet notes of peppers. The wahoo tiradito. . .well, we ended up calling it wahoo tiraidiot, but you know, you do you, babe. The best way for me to describe it is to say it's kind of like a ceviche thing. Don't be put off if you don't know the ingredients. It's good. Now. . .let's talk about this sweet potato goat cheese latke. The chefs here seriously need to consider moving this from its current home on the side menu and putting it on a small plate menu instead. Right now, you get one big one on the side menu, and I understand it's also featured on the sticky miso short ribs. I think two smaller ones with the goat cheese would be fantastic on the starters menu. My husband loves sweet potatoes. I love latkes. I do not love sweet potatoes. He had to give this a shot, and I was blown away by the taste. I can honestly say that I was not expecting to like the flavor, but I did. A chef is a genius if they can prepare a food that you generally do not like in a way that you do like it. Because hot damn, that is one potato pancake that I'll gladly order. If you are familiar with traditional latkes, the texture is there, but it's still almost like a "bird nest" texture instead of more squished together like white potato latkes can often be. It is fantastic."

"I had the pleasure of enjoying Sunday brunch at Seven S. Craft Food and Cocktail, and it was a delightful experience from start to finish. The menu was a tantalizing array of options, and my taste buds were in for a treat. To begin, we savored a mouthwatering charcuterie board, followed by perfectly roasted oysters that were a true seafood delight. The avocado toast with salmon was a fresh and creamy combination that was hard to resist. But the real star of the meal was the Lobster Eggs Benedict. The lobster was tender, and the hollandaise sauce was velvety perfection. It was an absolute must-try. The lobster roll continued the seafood theme, and it was brimming with flavor. And let’s not forget about their signature burger; it was a savory masterpiece that left me craving for more. The ambiance at Seven S. Craft Food and Cocktail was inviting, the service was impeccable, and the food was a culinary adventure. If you’re looking for an outstanding brunch experience, this is the place to be!"

"5/5-star experience from the moment you walk into Seventh South. Everything about this restaurant was perfect. Janice, the hostess, with her warm-welcoming and was very accommodating with our anniversary celebration. Our server, Lauren, was stellar! Barry, the owner, making his rounds greeting all the guests made our dinner special. And lastly, Chef Jay made an unexpected, special appearance which was the icing on our dessert. Luckily, we're only about 2 hours out from Naples and can't wait to be back! Thank you to the entire staff for an unforgettable experience."

"My husband , my daughter and I wanted to have a special early Friday dinner. We had heard good reviews about Seventh and decided to try. It was hard to find because it is not located in the popular restaurant locations. It had good parking. My husband ordered the 1855 New York strip, which he enjoyed . We started with focaccia , very nice. I ordered two appetizers, the seafood Chowder and the 75 Octopus. I enjoyed them a lot. The soup has the perfect consistency and texture, with a soft but deep flavor and aroma. The octopus was served with chorizo,almond puree, and black garlic aioli. The flavor and temperatures were perfect, a bit overcooked on the end of the tentacle. Very enjoyable. My daughter had the Miso broiled seabass, which she found excellent in flavors, temperature and texture. We all shared dessert a pineapple creme brulee with coconut. Very good close to the meal, I had a Sauvignon Blanc Allan Scott that is very enjoyable and my daughter has their Tell More, Tell me More. Very good as well. Seventh South is expensive but we used a 25% discount offered for the evening that certainly added to the experience. The decor was interesting, with a nice bar, perhaps a bit noisy. Service was good. The server was very nice and eager to help. A bit more training would make him perfect."
