Sevens Bar & Grill

Richard the bartender is an actual DICK and has no customer service! My first and last time here

The problem with a restaurant inside of a hotel is that they feel they can upcharge for mediocre food and drinks.
There was hardly anyone in here but everything felt a little too slow for such an «upscale» place. A waitress took our drink orders and let us know it would be 30 minutes before any signature drinks would be ready. But somehow she knew how to make a Moscow Mule? Or so we thought. It was straight up ginger beer — for $ 15. It wasn’t until the bartender came back from her break that we got asked if we wanted water.
Let’s talk food. Do not get the Gnocchi. My friend had to ask for a refund. It was a terrible combination of ingredients. I got the western burger (bbq sauce on the side) which was actually ok. The meat was high quality but lacked flavor. No one else commented on their food which lead me to believe it wasn’t that great.
They did give us a refund for the terrible food. No redo on the terrible drink though. Our bill for 4 people was almost $ 200 and we were left unsatisfied and feeling robbed. Only gave the 2 stars because of the food refund and the nice bartender.

Too bad, we need a good spot in this general area. .. I heard that this was the new spot to check out and while it is a HUGE improvement with what what there before (that’s not saying much), it fails to deliver on drink quality and food. .. the service was pretty good and the team is attentive.
The failure is that they need to improve quality across the board. If you are staying there and captive, I suppose it is «good enough», but I wouldn’t make the effort to go there.
Recommendation to Sevens: Turn down the lights so it doesn’t feel like daytime inside. If you are trying to create a lounge atmosphere, it’s probably best if every spot in the building isn’t on. :) I will try again in a while to see if there are any improvements.

Came in for lunch today, around 12:30. Sounded like a large party in the dining room, but the bar was only about half full. Sat in the bar and had Spaghetti alla Norma, my colleague had the Veggie Cobb. The pasta was very flavorful and cooked perfectly, the eggplant was especially tasty. My colleague said the Cobb was very good, that she would order it again. Service staff seemed very busy, rushing around, but still gave smiles and prompt attention. Will definitely come back! Quick service and delicious food is hard to find during lunch hour in this area!

My boyfriend and I enjoyed this place mostly because it was in our hotel and they did make a pretty good gin martini.
As for food we tried…
Thai tacos (3 stars, they were lacking seasoning)
Kobe burger (4 stars, it has fois gras on it!)
Mushroom and fontina flatbread (3 stars, fontina was overpowering they put way too much)
Calamari (4 stars)
Samosas (3 stars, again these lacked seasoning but the sauce was good)
I’m definitley only giving 4 stars because the bartender on Saturday was very patient with us being super loud and annoying at the bar haha, sorry!

Stayed in the Crown Plaza which is above this restaurant. I came down for breakfast on a Sunday. While they have an excellent Sunday breakfast buffet, the wait staff isn’t on par with the food. If you are staying in the hotel and you want to eat without gong far, then the restaurant is a necessary and acceptable evil. But I wouldn’t drive to visit this place.

My second time here with the group of coworkers… I love my Angus Burger. Had it last time and couldn’t resist it again. Yummylicious :-) juicy and as I ordered. The fries were to die for.
Today we ordered fried calamari again… so delicious. And this time we also ordered Thai tacos and wow impressed. As a «hotel» restaurant… it stood out ;-) good job!
I’m probably coming back again and should attempt to try something different hhaa :-)

I was traveling in the SF area, and stayed a night at the CROWN PLAZA SAN JOSE-​SILICON VALLEY. I noticed the SEVENS BAR & GRILL located on the ground floor while I was waiting for the check-​in arrangements to be completed.
This review is solely on the bar. I haven’t tried their food menu.
I checked with the bartenders on duty and found out that the kitchen is open until 11pm, whereas the bar is open until midnight for that evening. After a long day on the road, you bet that I head straight for the bar after I checked-​in, took a shower, and had a fresh change of clothes.
The bar is mostly occupied by travelers staying for the evening. While some did some friendly chit-​chat, I enjoyed my time at the bar watching the NBA playoffs while sipping on my drink prepared by Tammy. Really sweet of her to mix me something that’s perfect for the evening. Nothing too light, nothing too strong. Drink was just perfect for my taste buds. It’s awesome that they let me take my drinks back up to my room when closing hour is near too.

Nothing vegan on the menu.
