My partner and I stopped in early in the morning for breakfast at this place, 7 west cafe. Our hotel is very close so we googled restaurants that were open for breakfast and we chose this one and we were not disappointed. We both got the breakfast special which I think is the all of the time breakfast which is only $10 between 6 and 9:00 a.m. the value of what we received for the price we paid is outstanding! I actually recommend they increase the price of the special because at $10 they're only making pennies on a breakfast. Breakfast includes eggs cooked how you like, fries, toast, a choice of bacon or sausage, and coffee. I think it's supposed to come with fruit but ours came with a pancake instead. Compared to the other breakfasts available in the area, this has to be hands down the cheapest, best breakfast around. The inside of the cafe is quaint, with earth tones, wood furniture, and wood floors. Delightful french music in the dining area. Our servers were thorough and came to check on us. I have no complaints about any of the food. The only criticism I could offer is that I feel like the furniture is a little old and I think the floors could benefit from a buffing. I will return

***Update for brunch in Oct 2023***: Wonderful atmosphere, very different to night time. It's soft French music transports you to another time and place. The food was out quickly, it was absolutely delicious, and the server was attentive and kind. I would suggest cleaning the bathroom more frequently, but otherwise 5/5. We sat on the 2nd floor with a view towards the street. Very quaint, cute decor. I recommend the brisket - so soft and juicy! A little pricy, but it's worth the experience and quality of food and drinks. ---Previous late dinner review: Great spot for a late summer night dinner, since they are open very late. Patio is nice, ambiance inside is casual and yet cozy. Service is ok, servers could be more attentive, however they are polite and orders are correct. The pasta is delicious, our table ordered different pasta dishes and all of them were pretty large portions and all said the taste was great. Might be a bit pricier than what I expected, but nothing out of the ordinary for a sit-down restaurant. Bathrooms need urgent repairs, they were practically flooded when I tried to go. Overall, good restaurant and great food.

Had a pretty brutal experience here yesterday. The worst part was finding a long, curly black hair embedded in the lasagne. 🤢 The second worst part was ordering the truffle mushroom pizza only to have absolutely no truffle flavour in the pizza whatsoever and then be told that the mushrooms on the pizza were truffles. LOL. Look at the photo and judge it for yourself. Those are brown button, or best case, creminis. There was no truffle oil or any other kind of truffle flavour. Just mushrooms and pepperoni. Could've gone to Pizza Pizza instead. Despite the giant hair and lack of truffle they didn't comp anything but only offered us free dessert. To be fair, the pecan pie was quite good, so I guess that's what the one star is for. The sampler appetizer also seemed poorly thought out and thrown together. Nothing was very good except the hummus, which tasted homemade. They also squeezed us onto their extremely tight, inaccessible patio because their rooftop patio wasn't open. They also brought two of the three dishes to the table and made us wait like 20 minutes for the third dish. Finally, service was terrible. When I arrived no one greeted me and finally someone looks over at the host stand and says, "you okay?" as their first words to me. After that delightfully warm greeting, our server did not bring us plates, cutlery, napkins or anything until we asked for it. She was apologetic about the hair but it didn't quite make up for the experience. They also rarely ever came to check on us or if we needed anything. Just a major disappointment overall and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

If this place wasn’t 24/7, it would be reviewed lower. Came here off whim around dinner time and was met with a pleasant atmosphere and options to sit on the multiple floors of the restaurant, so started off well. Things just went down hill from there. Friends and I started off with the nachos with added chicken, and was met with the photo below. This doesn’t look like restaurant nachos, this looks like something a group college roommates put together at 3am. The chicken looked like canned chicken and when my friend posted the food on their story, another friend couldn’t even tell what it was that we were eating. Then onto our main dishes, one friend ordered the mac and cheese (not pictured) and it was alright, but myself and another friend ordered the Lasagna because the photos from other visitors looked great. What we were presented was a mess of a dish, sloshed in sauce covering overcooked lasagna noodles layered on top of each other, of which some bites were even lukewarm. Once again, I think a college kid in their dorm could have made this dish. Overall a very mediocre experience. I would not recommend this place unless it was the only thing open within 10km.

I was enticed to try this place on Ubereats because of the reviews and offered promotions. What a mistake that was! The BLT (that was supposed to come in “grain bread” arrived on soggy whole wheat toast with 1 miniscule tendril of soggy lettuce and 2 small slices of tomato, both being end cuts. The thickness of the bread alone was thicker than this so called sandwich! The Mac and Cheese was literally a bowl of noodles with a flour and water paste. I can’t even call it a sauce! The cheese was obviously never meant to be an ingredient! There were no spices or anything to add flavour. Even adding 2 cups of shredded cheese at home couldn’t help it! A box of KD is more satisfying and actually has flavour! Was this a one-off!?? I sure hope so for the sake of the business owner! I rarely take the time to leave such an extensive review, but please: fix your dishes or take away the 2 for 1 deal if you can’t create/send them properly. I wish you all the best, but I am a truly disappointed beyond belief customer.

Personally I wouldn't come back lol: Red velvet was so dry it was worse than grocery store leaving it out for a while. However the staff was very very accommodating. She did kinda make us try another tho despite initially not really wanting to. I guess she did good as a server up selling haha. But then the apple crumble pie we gambled on was ice cold despite trying to warm it up. It wasn't thorough. Honestly eating random stuff at home would've been better. She did come by to ask if it was better but we didn't want to complain again. Open 24 hrs tho so that's nice and i guess you can't expect too much out of these places. Though for the price points and atmosphere, you'd think you could.... And we went around midnight so it wasn't like it was the only option, nor was it so late that staff would be excused for it. Limonade was also overly powerful but they're lucky I like my sours I guess. Service was amicable which is the only reason it's a 2 star. Food was crazy bad tho I can't even lie.
