I am a big fan of 7 West, it's my go to first date place! I'm single and recently I have had at least 4 first dates here, I feel like the staff probably get what I'm up to hehe. Being centrally located close to yonge and bloor subway is ideal for a first date so neither party has to traipse to one end or another of the city for the first date.
7 West has 3 beautiful floors, the top floor being my favourite with it's gorgeous stained glass and comfortable enclosed "patio".
I'd give the food 3 out of 5 stars, it's comfort food. I've never been disappointed by a meal there but never been blown away either. It's not the best you'll ever have but you are sure to find something you would like. The desserts are great. I shared a slice of some kind of chocolatey/vanilla cake recently and it was divine.
I love this place for first dates because it has a warm and comfortable atmosphere, perfect for conversation. It never feels loud at 7 West especially in comparison to a chain restaurant like Jack Astors.
Open 24/7 its also a great place to wind down after a night out. I especially like their specialty teas and hot drinks that have liqueur in them.
All around a great place for conversation and cozy hangouts. I'd also like to shout out to the staff who have always been super friendly, helpful, and always takes the time to check on you and make sure you have everything you need.
