| - I'm not sure when this place re-opened, but it is a total departure from the way it used to be. In a GREAT way!! Upon entering you are greeted by a big fish in an aquarium, and that's not where 7777 Bar & Grill proves it's unique!
My husband and I wandered in at 930 the other night, out of the rain looking for Chinese food. After ordering a drink we find out the Chinese food is not offered after 9. In light of that, we kind of made a mutual (all be it non-verbal, kind of happily married for a long time Jedi type mind message, that nobody else can see) decision to finish the drink & head out.
This is where it becomes exciting. At this point Jake, the bartender, apologizes like crazy. He offers us a happy hour/ football menu, which is a far cry from the extensive Chinese menu we were after. We glance over it, as a courtesy. Sticking to our original decision, (-now actually spoken, to save our Jedi powers.). We make designs to settle up & head back into the rain. When out of nowhere, the chef/cook (not sure of his title) Mike comes from the kitchen to talk to us & offer us amazing non-football food options.
Between the bartender, Jake (works swing nearly every night) and the cook, Mike, and their collective efforts, we decided to stay. My husband got the chicken tacos and I got a fabulous Caesar salad. That and a couple more drinks and we had forgotten the missed Chinese we had come in for.
On our way out we ran into the owner of the place, Ron. When we explained how nice his staff had been to us, especially under the circumstances, he seemed genuinely pleased & proud to hear they had been the sole reason we had stayed to eat, gamble & drink.
This is a must stop, if you haven't already. These guys will restore your faith in the lost art f customer service. They deserve to have a thriving business & will raise the bar (no pun intended, sorry.) for customer service when you do. Local watering holes could take a page from these guys. Until they do, 7777 will have my business.
