It's Friday. You crave Greek. Your gal pal wants Japanese. The boys refuse to eat anything other than big Alberta beef.
You could:
- Each go your own way,
- hit the mall and dine a la food court,
- go to Seven, C-town's new gathering spot for eating, drinking and merrymaking.
Open less than a month, Seven Restolounge is already a favourite among haute cuisine enthusiasts. The menu melds flavours from seven of the world's yummiest regions: Italy, the Pacific Rim, Mexico, France, Greece, Louisiana and - with true patriot love - Canada.
This being Calgary, the house signature dish is a 24-ounce "AAA" bone-in rib eye ($49) - Alberta raised, of course. But you can also take your pick of made-from-scratch comfort foods (Mama's Spaghetti and Meat Balls ($21), anyone?) or out-there creations designed for the culinary adventurer. Ever tried souvlaki quesadillas ($14), sea bass served with chorizo ($29) or a P.E.I. lobster club sandwich ($16)?
The uber-contemporary lounge offers prime seats for taking in eye candy - in the form of young oil types and the odd Calgary Flame. Upstairs, the dining lounge provides an elegant retreat from prying eyes.
A little something for every taste. And a Friday night that your whole gang can agree on.
Now that's truly a wonder of the world.
