    Started our meal with unique and delicious drinks accompanied by appetizers. The Korean Fried Maitake Mushroom was crispy and full of flavor, the Seven Hills Beef Tartare was perfect. Dinner was equally amazing. The Crispy Skin Golden Tilefish had the perfect amount of crunch surrounded by a perfect combination of flavors. The Seven Hills Cast Iron Bavette Steak was cooked to perfection. Key Lime pie was heaven in a slice. Highly recommend this restaurant! On top of the food the service is excellent!

    Staff, adult beverages, and food are all top notch. You have to experience it to understand why it's so great. This place is an amazing local gem but please don't tell everyone <*shhhhh*> or we won't be able to get a table anytime soon :-)

    Casual place in a nondescript location with excellent food. Now I understand why getting a reservation can take a while. Not that many tables, a small bar (all seats taken) , and an open kitchen layout. From the time we were seated to the time we were served our dinner was about an hour, but I think that was due to the complexity of the dishes and the time to make them. Definitely will return.

    We had been a few times we before, food and experience had been good. Last night not so much. Slow slow slow service. Our server was wonderful, but an hour and half for entrees is unacceptable. My steak was cold when it arrived. Drowning in way too much sauce, also cold. Not sure if the margaritas had any actual alcohol in them. All in all not a very good meal. Wife and decided would not be coming back.

    Love this restaurant. The food is great, the service is excellent, and the overall ambiance is very comfortable. However, they need to do something about the outside door opening directly into the restaurant, especially in winter. Several tables are subject to cold air coming in making the experience less than optimal. Expensive but generally worth the money!
