| - If a restaurant experience were rated on food alone, 7th&C would be an easy 3or4 stars. Let's be clear--the chefs are on point. While not a religious experience, certainly of quality.
That service, though? Abysmal. Let's begin...
$30+ markup on their wine, we ordered a bottle of market value $11 wine, a Zinfandel. Price point is mean, vengeful, there's no better explanation. If you're going to list a bargain bin wine, then at least price it at a respectable, modest mark-up.
False advertising: we ordered the prawn ceviche and were given a sea bass something or other, without explanation. What in the WORLD?! Example: if I order a hot dog, you do not give me a veggie burger and tell me, "the burger's better!" as was done with the sea bass. No sir. And then, after this was brought to their attention and they said sea bass is better so suck it up, did they remove it from the bill? NO. Service and hospitality fail.
Your business model cannot be: order from the menu, but enjoy whatever we decide to bring you. Excuse me, but **** that noise. And speaking of noise, it's almost impossibly loud in there. A table of six had difficulty hearing one another speak, and might explain for why the waiter(s) had as many screw-ups as they did.
Again on that bottle of wine, we told the woman who brought us the bottle that only four would be drinking. She proceeds to place 6 glasses and begins pouring. You nodded yes, but were you not listening? You are pouring wine. PAY ATTENTION.
Finally, that bill. I explained to the woman who took our cash and cards: subtract the cash from the total, put $100 on this red card, and divide the remainder between these two cards. She wrote it down. What came back was double the amount on the remaining two cards, which means they charged at least $40 over the total, including tip.
Did they pocket the cash?? That included tip! Literally half an hour later, it was somewhat sorted out. A half hour! Where we were also challenged as to whether we had mathed right. This was the simplest bill ever. Before launching, or before putting new people on the floor, was there any training? The owner, who was the epitome of graciousness upon arrival, conveniently disappeared once things got hairy. Funny that.
Last but certainly not least, the food. We did enjoy. We had the CFC Wings, and the braised oxtail which was the winner for most of us, just excellent. The sliders, which while the fried onion added respectable flare (killed it really), these were still just sliders. Difficult to do that well, but certainly good, nonetheless. The hearth oven bread stole the visual scene as it dominated its own plate, and the dippings were ALL aces. Good show, there. The grilled peach and burrata salad was also a favorite, plate-scraping good. Several of us hadn't experienced burrata before, but now we're married to it. Just a delightful combination on that arrangement.
So there it is. Good food, but ruinous service. Who needs that hassle, and to be charged for something they didn't even order, and to wait 30 minutes to pay and get out?
I won't be back. 7th&C will either square itself away, or go the way of its locational predecessor.
