J7 Bar — Restaurant in London

We went here for dinner because it was rated 4.9 by Google however this restaurant was a GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT. We walked in without a reservation and were immediately seated which was the only good thing I can report. We were handed a tablet and told this was the menu. After perusing the menu and deciding what we wanted to order we waited an inordinate amount of time without any contact and then realized there was a call button at our table. We pressed the call button, and the waitress then informed us we were to order thru the menu on the tablet. The menu was not easy to negotiate but eventually we ordered lemon chicken for me and half a crispy roast duck for my husband. We were able to order a gin and tonic, but my husband wanted sparkling sake and we could not find this on the menu so had to call the waitress to ask if they had it- which they didn't and to ask for tap water with ice and lemon as there was no way to order that on the tablet menu. My husband ultimately ordered a pina colada. Drinks ordered were fine but my lemon chicken was dry and overcooked. My husband loves duck but he thought this duck was the most bland duck he ever had. After we finished eating, we pressed the button to request our bill and a waiter came to see what we wanted and we told him we needed our bill. Ten minutes passed and no bill so we got up and went to the reception desk and were finally given a bill for 70+ english pounds for 2 drinks and 2 very average entrees! Lastly the restaurant is located under several train tracks which made it VERY loud when the trains rolled overhead. To cover this up they played very loud recorded pop music interrupted by a live singer who sang in Chinese. Overall this was a horrible and...

J7 Bar & Restaurant 柒 delivers an exceptional dining experience with beautifully crafted dishes, bold and balanced flavors, and an inviting atmosphere. The selection of small plates was a perfect way to start the meal—each dish was thoughtfully prepared, from the refreshing sweetness of lychee and cherry tomatoes to the rich, umami-packed braised beef with cucumber and the satisfying crunch of marinated lotus root. The clay pot braised beef was fall-apart tender with a deep, aromatic sauce, while the creamy butter shrimp was indulgently rich yet perfectly balanced. The steamed razor clams with scallions and garlic highlighted the freshness of the seafood, and the crispy deep-fried eggplant pockets were an addictive delight. To round out the meal, the chicken and cordyceps soup was nourishing and full of depth, offering a comforting contrast to the bold flavors of the other dishes. The meal was perfectly complemented by the non-alcoholic blueberry mojito, which was light, refreshing, and beautifully presented. Highly...
