7 West Cafe Review

No late-night craving goes unsatisfied at this 24-hour haven for the hip and hungry. Snacks, pastas, sandwiches, soups, and drinks are all served in this eclectic, three-story, dimly lit cafe. Everything is homemade and comes with a green salad. Soups like Moroccan or vegetarian chili are comforting and filling, and dinner-size sandwiches like the grilled herbed chicken breast with honey mustard are huge. The menu of basic foods sets the tone for simple wine, beer, and cocktail choices. It's not fancy, but there's plenty to choose from.

    Great day ruined by bad service and bad food

    My friends and I just finished watching a movie at Varsity theatre and were starved. The three of us have been meaning to try this place out, so we decided to try it.
    We got in at about 7:00pm and it was a little busy. We waited a couple of minutes before getting in. Seated on the second floor, my friends and I selected our food.
    We had a hard time getting the attention of our waitress. We weren't asked to order until 15 minutes later!
    I ordered Penne Chicken and my friends ordered Pesto Pizza and Lasagna.
    We all ordered drinks from the bar and they were really watered down - not a lot of alcohol content. The pizza was simple and boring.
    There wasn't a lot of flavour. The crust was very burnt and the top was oily.
    The penne chicken was gross - the sauce was very thin.
    The Lasagna had very very little meat and veggies and was mostly pasta. What a disappointment.
    Take my word for it - 7 West Cafe is not worth visiting.
