| - Located around the corner of Yonge and Charles, lies a odd-looking, three-tier building that resembles nothing like a restaurant. In fact it looks really sketchy that only the two signs holding up the place outside shows that it is a restaurant that's 24 Hours. That could probably tell you that for a 24-hour establishment, everything needs to be sketchy on the outside to compensate what lies within.
The interior is just reminds me of old Victorian-esque or where my aunt used to live when I was young and remembered how much set of stairs that house has. (Which in the past I had always climb up to the attic to play games and fear of the empty rooms on other floors. It just brings that nostalgic feeling of that old, ominous, and lovely back to me from wooden floors, screechy stairs to fans spinning above you and I thank 7 West Cafe for that.
Aside from that, the theme of what I'm getting at is very romantic and I guess couples love this lively feeling of going to a cramp and tall place with dim lights and candles glore.
Anyways, the menus consists of Italian dishes, sandwiches and all-day breakfast which for a 24-Hour establishment is totally ideal for a soon-to-be drunk (like me) that would one day find this place as his saviour. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich that includes a side order of chips (which I find weird considering almost every place serves fries) and while it tasted good, the consistency of the pulled pork itself was somewhat rough at times, it did not melt in your mouth like what pulled pork actually does. The chips were lays chips.
At that time, there wasn't any tap on beers and I have to order these smaller bottles (if I wasn't mistaken, Stella bottles were bigger) of Stella which costs $6.50. It was somewhat a rip though I guess its standard. I also had several shots of Jacks and rum and coke which all totals to about $35 bucks worth of booze. I did not feel drunk at the end to my dismay but I might next time.
The service was friendly and attentive though my server/bartender eventually left due to her shift being over and I was going to give her the tip instead of the night shift which came. However it seems that - as a cramp place - at that time, servers are constantly moving people off tables or splitting them and it was somewhat a headache to me (not due to my intoxication).
However, this is THE saving grace for drunks like me at midnight where most if not all places aren't avaliable.
