| - 4 star average out of 54 reviews? What could go wrong! UGH.
WTF, Yelp? You are usually spot on, or at least KIND OF in the ballpark when it comes to rating places. I have honestly noidea how Sevens has a 4 star average.
For a small positive, at least the decor is cool. The big garage doors opened onto a large patio, and as other reviews mention, the ambiance is pretty awesome. I loved the big sparkly lamp/light fixture that hung over a tall table in the middle of the dining room. Everything felt modern and sleek. I thought the chalkboard inside the bar area really clashed with the decor...I don't know, spelling out your million fruity martini drinks (Orange Julius? I just got diabetes) doesn't seem so fancy.
The location is weird. This place had to have been a bank in a former life, right? It sits like a giant mansion right on McDowell and 77th, and right besides some SKETCHO hotel. Me: "Who the hell stays at a hotel right here?" Boyfriend: "People making meth." We walked in and, seeing three other tables at 10:00 a.m. on a Sunday in Scottsdale, should have known to just peace out. The first thing I saw was a couple sending back a plate of food. Awesome! It took way too long to be greeted. Our server was nice enough, but it was so obvious he wanted to be ANYWHERE but working. I understand, it's Memorial Day weekend and you're working but man. You just gotta do it sometimes.
The food actually earned the second star. It was pretty tasty. I had the veggie benedict (I loved the tiny knife cuts of assorted veggies--roasted asparagus standing out) and it was tasty, although one of my poached eggs had been pierced and the yolk was all sopped up by the English muffin by the time it arrived to the table. The hash browns were seasoned and delicious. My side of fruit was on the same plate as the hot food--no separate tiny bowl or plate for cold fruit? It was meh--honeydew, melon, watermelon.
BF ordered the "enraged" corned beef hash. Again, he said it was tasty, but not exactly "enraging" (aka, not that spicy) and it came with a uniform square (Kraft single?) of cheese melted on top. Uh?
Protip: They serve bottomless mimosas for $15 until 2:00 p.m. on the weekend. Even if you just want two, get this. Why? Because just one is $10. Made with bottled, concentrated juice and a normal amount of champagne. Really? I can go down the street to Orange Table (leaps and bounds over Sevens, in all aspects) and get a full glass of champagne + St. Germain (their Daybreak drink...delicious) for $7. Give me a break.
Perhaps their 4 star average is based on an amazeballs, 180 degree turn from breakfast dinner and happy hour...but we won't be back to find out.
