Dropped in last minute for a small bite on way to see a band. Very friendly server and chill music. Quiet with just a few tables filled but that was fine with me. Ordered chicken quesadilla. read more

I came here with my partner after having not stopped by for a few years, I'm disappointed at how it's changed over time. Our server didn't seem to care to be there at all, as a hospitality worker myself, it rubbed me the wrong way but I figure we all have off days. Decided not to pay it any mind. Before we order, I was asked if I knew "the system." I asked them to explain. I was told we were expected to pay BEFORE we recieved any of our order, and there would be an automatic 18% gratuity added because we were there past midnight. The gratuity I wouldn't have minded so much, but with abysmal service, I felt rather ripped off (I also work nights until 2/3am without automatic gratuity, and we were there just after midnight.) Felt like paying to be trapped with a waiter who didn't want us there until we recieved & finished our food. Paying before recieving your order, especially since this place isn't cheap, really soured the experience and really lacks respect for the patrons coming to enjoy a night out. Luckily the food was delicious. Cocktails were alright, but very overpriced. It is very nice to have somewhere to go no matter the time of day as well. The bartender was much more friendly and came to our table from another floor for last call. I would not want to see this place go as I had some great times here in the past, but really not a fan of the current business model. read more

I have had several meals here because it is open 24/7, has a huge menu, and is a block from my hotel. The Montreal smoked meat sandwich was delicious and scratched that itch that I had for pastrami (yes, I know they are slightly different) The triple decker club had chicken breast and not lunch meat, and was enough to feed two people. It has somewhat of a dive bar feel but service is friendly and the food has been consistently good. Prices are reasonable, particularly considering the quality of ingredients and portion size. read more

Ordered their Montreal-style smoked beef sandwich and my partner ordered a breakfast plate. The food was good, it's what you expect at a diner. Dark ambiance is a good way to describe the feeling inside. Pricing was actually not bad for two meals and dessert, but there was about an hour of waiting for service, despite only a few tables in use. Waited for 20 minutes for a drink at first and then around 40 minutes for the bill because the waiter clocked out in the middle of it. We just waited way too long, especially since they forgot my drink. I'd love to give this place another chance, and I will, since mistakes happen. read more

Great service as there wasn't anybody else there in the restaurant when we went. The hours say that it is opened all day so it's great if you want a late night bite. The portions are pretty big but I would say the prices are high so it equals out. Pretty flavourful but the food did take quite a bit to come out. Good ambience with low lighting and jazz music. read more

Considering I have frequented this place for years, mostly as a young person looking for a late in the night place to eat with others among no other options AT ALL nearby, AND considering their recent decision to add support to a lawsuit against a nearby church that supports some of the most needy in Toronto- those without housing, I have decided their menu is derivative crap I put up with for convenience... but aren't we all looking for a late-night home? Affordable Housing gets us all girl! But this place has remained the same for years... pumping out music and chatter into the late night despite nearby residents trying to get some sleep-for those of us who: honestly needed it to be there when nothing else was of option. I wonder what it feels like for those who have no place to sleep at night as well? Anyhow, pita is stale, place is stale, and considering this business establishment making a public statement in support of a lawsuit against a charity helping unhoused people just nearby, I will never go there again. I guess they were jealous people were hanging out in tents nearby and not their restaurant, lol! - Britt read more

Food, service and ambiance. Mohammad is the man to see! In the mornings the stillness of this place is something to experience. We enjoyed an omelette and the fried egg sandwich BLT thing. Just do it, and take some cake with you. read more

After my meal the debit card machine was brought to me with a 20% tip included and already past the confirmation step. I tapped because I didn't want to make a scene but I thought it was very dissrespectful that I wasn't given the opportunity to choose my tip amount. I understand when restaurants do this for large groups but I was eating alone and I wasn't informed before hand. Very poor experience read more

We had a group of 8 yesterday to have brunch. We didn't make any representations, but we got in to patio right away. And the restaurant was filled up fast. We were grad that we went a bit early. We order one of each and it was a little bit ok to take time to make for 8 orders. When the dishes came, we were shocked. In our group, 4 kids and 4 adults. We didn't expect the portion of each was so big. A kid couldn't finish an adult size of dish. The waitress who took the order should have alerted the guests, when she saw that kids were also ordering. The restaurant was like all day breakfast. I got Morning Bagel and my Husband got 7 West Omtlette, another couple got All Time Breakfast, and Morning Bagel. The kids got 2 Pancake & Sausages, Breakfast Waffles, Steak and Egg. Those were big portions that an adult barely could finish one plate. We packed out the rest. The food was ok, the service was not really, not sure if it was too busy or what, we have to ask for water multiple times, asked for doggy bags for multiple times before they brought us. The only thing I would highlight is that this is a 24/7 restaurant with patio. Please note that the tip was automatically generated 20% in the total of the bill, I think that's because we came with a large group, but no tip option with this type of service was... read more

Enjoyed dinner at 7 west last night. Upstairs in the restaurant is lovely, food is very good and prices are reasonable. The spring rolls are a delicious appetizer Lia, our server was great. very accommodating, helpful and charming Disappointed that they no longer provide a discount if you're going to Mirvish right after your meal but we still go there every time! read more

The decor is cute the atmosphere is a bit chaotic and the service is extremely slow you have to try and get the attention of the staff to order, get your bill, anything really. The iced coffee was delicious I ordered two lol. It is on the strong side so I was up all night The pizza was extra cheesy very rich. The tomato sauce was delicious dishes they added more to the base. read more

Decent place around downtown to get breakfast staples. Feeling mighty hungry? Their breakfast platters are what you may need to soothe the beast. Got mine with toast, home fries, ham, eggs and sausage. The home fries weren't crispy enough to my liking and were underseasoned. The rest of the platter was what you could expect to get at a neighborhood diner. Grilled cheese was on point with the bread retaining its expected crisp exterior. Wish the cheese was a little more gooey, but I'm not going to ding them any points on that, with this order being a delivery. read more

I hate reviews like this. Sorry but it was unpleasant and we just wanted a nice brunch plate. I suggested it only to my companion because I was feeling nostalgic for long ago high school exploits here. Reservation was made but when we arrived there was no reservation and we had to trudge up and look, and trudge up and look, until there was a table open. (Which they should have known and sent us directly to?) Brunch order made - menu is odd in that there is tiny tiny type saying only the brunch menu is available but other breakfast items are printed on the "Brunch Menu" pages... Of course we wanted unavailable items. We got coffee - ugh. espresso dishwater. Machine needs a cleaning. "Waffles" arrive. I guess they were fluffy at one point? hard to chew or even cut covered in what was referred to a 'creme anglais' call it for what it looked like, watery cream. jizz? ugh. Whipped cream is easy to make and if you were beating any life out of the waffle batter why not whip some yummy whipped cream? We gave up after 10 minutes. Literally 10 minutes after the plates were set in front of us we just bailed. Waitron said he was SO sorry but had nothing to offer. He just stood out of the way while I paid and said nothing. I paid $55 for 2 garbage brunch plates because I didn't want to dine and dash which was my only other option. as the staff offered nothing at all as replacement, compensation or even one thing to make us feel any better. I go out to eat in order to not cook for myself. I'm happy to give a waffle tutorial in getting fluffy stay crisp waffles but for gods sake make me feel better about your bad food before I leave. read more

Nice, dark ambiance to this place. Food is not not bad or great. Similar to what one will get at a diner.

I give this place 5 star for 5 important reasons: 1. This restaurant serves decent food 24/7, and this is super important because you can always rely on this. 2. The diversity of food at this restaurant is awesome, you can have a variety of options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. 3. The location is very good, it's in a nice area of downtown and there is a public parking in front of it 4. The servers are really nice. 5. The inside gives a very authentic vibe, something missing here. And the food is very good! read more

Open 24hrs? Sign me up Finally visited to catch up with friends Here we got their 10" goat olive cheese pizza ($21) and their Caprese tomato salad with bread ($20) Great portions for sharing and really liked the cozy ambiance of the restaurant Last but not least the goat cheese pizza was so cheezy as seen hahaha and the pizza dough was soft airy and crispy on the outside. Really yummy read more

Oh man a 24hr restaurant in Toronto with such a cool vibe, shut up and take my money! Went here after reaching late in Toronto and all the other restaurants were closed or almost closing. A colleague suggested this place and it was perfect! The ambiance upstairs, the food, the service, all just came together for a tired family to grab a bite to eat on a late evening. Definitely a must try in Toronto for late nights or in the day for that matter. read more

Made reservations for lunch for three on a Friday and was seated immediately. The server also kind enough and brought over water and filled it for us. We ordered a pint of Mill Street and an Old Fashioned, both very delicious. We ordered the grilled cheese, chicken club sandwich, and hot prosciutto panino all with a side of fries. Our meals came out at once and it was very fresh! The fries were super hot and crispy but slightly too much salt. The portions were very generous as well. Would definitely return to try their other items. read more

Vibes immaculate, aesthetic ideal, food & drink great! This review encompasses the 5th visit I've had here and my thoughts about this place remain the same-- come here! The cafe is a converted three story townhouse that is decorated and dimly lit with candles to provide an intimate setting for a meal with friends or a date with your partner. Service has always been terrific every time I have been here. The food comes quick, staff are courteous, and reactive to your requests. Now the food, we had an amazing caprese salad with nice buttered baguette slices. It was an amazing starter that is actually quite large. We also shared a pizza that was honestly perfect, amazing crust that was crisp at the bottom and topped with plenty of cheese, pepperoni, mushrooms, and truffles. Not once have I ever felt disappointed with the food here. Do come here. Seriously. I mean it! read more

Oh boy...where to even begin? Long story short: the service is WHACK and food is way below mediocre. At least the servers were apologetic and the 3-story restaurant has a quaint charm. //THE ATMOSPHERE & SERVICE// PROS: -The restaurant has a charm to it and I liked the early 2000's pop and r&b music -The manager apologized profusely CONS: -Manager looked like he was extremely stressed and running around -Gave no mini plates to share the appetizers -ABSOLUTELY forgot 3 of our orders. Tried to make up for it by covering the bill for one of the forgotten pizzas, gave 2 slices of cake on the house, and said we didn't have to tip them at all -Billing took forever Since we had reservations made for a large party in advance, it's unacceptable that they didn't recognize they needed extra staffing. Even when we left, I saw plates of food on the bar getting cold from waiting on being served out. //THE FOOD// Chef's salad (2/5)- For $17.95 I expected something way better...at least the portions were large though. But c'mon, I've gotten better at grocery stores! The toppings consisted of a sad boiled egg, processed ham slices, green peppers, & tomatoes. Nachos (1/5)- stale chips, not served warm so the cheese was hardened, guacamole looked like it was squeezed out the tube, and the jalapeños and salsa weren't fresh. People in my table got pizza and pastas. They seemed satisfied with their meal, but I personally thought they looked very subpar and it was on the smaller personal pizza size. Caramel cheesecake (4/5)- very rich and not as sweet as I thought. The thin caramel ganache on top and the touch of saltiness and crumble from the crust was nice. Chocolate cake (2/5) - way too sweet and heavy. The ganache and cream was really thick. The whip cream on the side was sad. Red velvet (2.5/5) - The icing didn't taste like cream cheese, but at least the cake was fluffy and not overly sweet! read more

This is usually the place I go for late night dinners or after party meals since they are open 24/7. The food is good and they have a good variety. Usually, I eat pasta or pizza, good combinations and the portions are big! Here is where they lose 2 stars for me: - Service is really bad! Need to be calling the server so many times until you get them to your table, sometimes they didn't even know how to explain what goes in the dish to me. - Overpriced! Even that they are 24/7 and also their portions are big it is still overpriced. This is something that always makes me think twice before going there. I would recommend as a late night option! read more

Okay food but they don't have change for cash, no signs mentioned on the front door or anywhere in the restaurant. My order ended up being $21 but I had to pay $30 because again, there was no mention or notice of not being able to provide change. read more

Rating 3.5 My son brought me here after watching a show at the CAA theatre. It is a cute place with 3 levels. Each level is small and seating is very close together. The individual gender neutral washrooms are also tiny. It was quite dark inside and difficult to read the menu without my flashlight on the phone (at 4:30pm the dimness was a bit off). The server was nice but made some errors on our order. I appreciate that she double checked about dairy in the soup for me, but my burger came on a bun when I requested on lettuce (as per the server's suggestion). Then we got our bill and were charged for iced tea that never came to us. They quickly corrected both issues with no problem. I would return for another try as they do have veg chili on the menu too. My son had a pizza and enjoyed it. read more

The food is not bad, but the service is terrible. They stand around chatting, and offer very little in the way of actual service.

I was pretty disappointed with the pizza. I wish the one I got looked like the one in the photo on the Skip the Dishes page. It didn't. The pizza sauce was MEH, and what you get for the price is so not worth it. I got way fewer toppings than I was expecting. The photo was a lie. I think the average pizza place gives you 3 times the pizza and toppings for what I paid for their "7 West Pizza" The crust was the only fairly nice thing about my meal. And - sadly - the pizza was cold. Cold. read more

Food was excellent. Service was very efficient and friendly. However, the policy of not providing change to cash customers forced me to leave a 40% tip. I can't find anything on the menu or website that displays this policy. Will never return nor recommend to anyone. The practice of telling customers that change will not provided should take place at the beginning of the evening, not the end. And yes, in this day and age, some people still use cash! read more

I have many memories of this place and all of them were good. Until today. The menu is fine, the service wasn't great (though it may have been her first day on the job), they were out of a lot of stuff, and there was a hair in the food. But the real "go fuck yourself" from 7 West was the auto gratuity. It was a table of three for cocktails and an appetizer but somehow this once great establishment felt it was appropriate to put an auto-grat on our bill. Fuck them. No amount of happy memories are going to get me to come back here. read more

Disappointing service and food. I shared the fries and Mac n cheese with a friend and it wasn't good. The Mac in cheese came in about 5 minutes which explained the poor taste and quality. Fries were below average and sure as hell not worth 10 dollars. Service wasn't great. Waiters seemed more interested in just chatting and I had to walk up for the bill and I have to remind them about my fries. If you're just going for a drink I can see how it would be nice. The 24/7 doesn't really appeal to me, I find with this gimmick quality goes out the window. read more

I'm not sure why this place doesn't have a better average. The ambience, the service, the food, the music--all fabulous! My only complaint is that the entire restaurant gets very cold when the door opens as it is a small place. Ambience is dark and lit by candles. Quaint with close proximity of tables. There is an upstairs also, not sure if they seat. The service was quick and friendly. No wait for a table on a Saturday night. We even got a cake to celebrate our birthdays, which is just 2 days apart. The food was amazing, we both opted for pasta and finished it all. Homemade pasta sauce for the spaghetti. Music! My favorite part. I wasn't sure why people weren't singing throughout their meal. Throwbacks of 2000s hip hop and some today hits. Also best part-they are open 24 hours and breakfast is served at all times! read more

First off it took forever to get a table here and when we were finally seated our server on the first floor was horrible and asked my gf in an incredibly rude way to remove her gift from the table so he could slam down our water. He never came back and we sat down for about 15 minutes with our hands up, until we eventually got fed up and left to find seats on the 3rd floor. Never experienced such bad service in Toronto in ages! Service was a bit better but about the same. Angry looking servers that acted like they didn't want to be there and never once came back to check on us or refill our drinks. I ordered the sloppy jo and what can I say. I paid about $20 for hamburger helper on a tiny bun with a salad. They also forgot to put dressing on my salad, but I didn't bother waving a server down because that would have taken another half hour. To top things off I saw a large insect crawling on the floor upstairs and my friend also noticed this disgusting creature. Could not believe how this place got such great reviews. I will never be coming back. read more

Maybe it was a bad day for staff or they're just not good for breakfast/brunch but this place was an atrocity. Food was flavorless. My partner ordered pancakes and didn't get syrup with it. We asked for some syrup, the kid looked at us funny and told us one moment and never came back. I noticed other tables were getting refills on coffee, getting condiments like jam, syrup, etc and we just got ignored. Don't recommend for breakfast. read more
