| - I'm such a diva, I'm very temperature sensitive and don't do well in heat so when we got there and had the option to sit out on the patio or inside in the ac, I whined a bit about how hot the patio was so we sat inside in the very cold ac, nice (for me.) Everyone else was pretty much freezing, though. sorry everyone. ;-)
7th & Carson is the restaurant that took over the space that was the restaurant, "Glutton". It's a tapas menu serving new american style food. Our server recommended ordering 2 things per person and eat family style, there were four of us so we ended up with eight plates.
Here are the ones I thought were the standouts:
Braised Oxtail Toast
Fantastic slow beer braised oxtail on a fairly thick piece of toast, topped with curds and smoked sea salt. This was my favorite I think. Very hearty and flavorful.
Hearth Bread with dips (four)
This was good, too. The flat bread was lightly crispy on the outside and soft inside. It was nice having the assortment of dips for the bread for the different people's tastes. The four dips were Hummus, Baba Ganoush, Red Pepper, and Cucumber Yogurt.
Duckling Pot Pie
Another hearty dish. Stewed leg meat with peas and carrots in a flaky puff pastry in pinwheel shapes. Rich and really delicious.
Margherita Pizzetta
I thought this was going to be a small flatbread but it was probably a 12" pie. With a chewy slightly charred crust and simple toppings, the flavors defnitely stood out.
Smoked Pork Belly
Rich fatty pork that's smoked, what's not to love. It came with crumbled blue cheese, chicharrones, and drizzled with a truffle honey. Very tasty, but a fairly small portion, esp for three seasoned eaters and one picky eater.
The other dishes ordered were also good but not as good as the others:
Wood Roasted Beets (red and golden beets with whipped goat cheese) Dubliner Burger (with whiskey onion jam and dubliner cheese)
Tuna Tartare (with rice crackers and mashed avocado.)
Of these I thought the Tuna tartare was ok, the tuna portion was a bit small compared to the amount of crackers. I thought the tuna was also on that border between fresh and not fresh. The burger looked good but the guy that ordered it ate it all himself, he did say it was really good, though.
We did consider dessert but our server told us the Panna cotta hadn't set, this was their only dessert so dessert wasn't an option that evening. I did suggest serving a panna cotta soup but that was a no-go..hehe.
We did get here early so it wasn't very crowded but from some of the other reviews I've read, it sounds like 7th & Carson hasn't caught on yet. Hopefully they do because it's very worthy of another visit to try some of the other dishes.
