Made a reservation for an outside table but they sat us inside because it was potentially going to rain. We also selected that we were celebrating a birthday on the reservation and they didn't acknowledge this so we didn't say anything. You're gunna have to let them know in person. The playlist here it was IMPECCABLE!!! Lots of great vibey music. I started off with a Virgin Margarita which was very tasty and delightful. Hubby ordered a smoked old fashioned which came out in a glass cover that when removed it was quite literally smoking! He said he liked it. We tried the pan seared Octopus in a coconut curry sauce which was a great consistency but a bit in the salty side. I still enjoyed it. I ordered the Bone-In Rib Eye which was a LOT of meat but also a LOT of fat. Very flavorful. Cooked perfectly (asked for medium rare) not too salty. The side I paired it with was the mushrooms and pear onions. I can't recommend this enough! And if you're not into mushrooms you've got to try the Brussels Sprouts in a miso sauce! They're to die for. Everything had a nice little char to it. Took a while but that is how you know it's good. All good things take time. We were a bit full so we did not order desserts but if you come here on your birthday you get a cool firework candle. The bill ended up being about $400 but honestly it was all worth it because the ingredients were high quality and our server was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the menu making it a really memorable experience here. Next time I want to splurge I will most likely return

We had a great dinner at 7D Steakhouse. Went with friends and loved the space and the service was friendly and very on point. The red, white and bleu salad was great and then we shared two steaks and some sides. The ribeye was juicy and flavorful and the NY strip had a great sear on it. Both cooked perfectly. We enjoyed all the sides but the roasted mushrooms were a standout. Highly recommend and fun to have a new lively dining destination in town.

This is the best restaurant that I have EVER been to in the WORLD! I've eaten in Paris, London and Rome! The food was simply amazing, and very flavorful. But the cherry on top was the outstanding service! Everyone was very attentive to our needs, very kind and GENUINE! I asked our waiter about the chef who then offered him to come say hi to us! We had to personally thank the chef for how amazing our food was!

Tourist trap Poor service and food Not what we expected in Carmel Aweful in every category

Service and ambiance is great. The cocktails were nice and def more upscale and for a more mature pallet. For the price, I would definitely reccomend making your own food or going to your moms. I had the Pinot noir braised ribs which came with potatoes, carrots, and onions. To say the least, I and my grandma can make better food. My partner had the vegan carrot steak which came with a Hummas and eggplant. He said the egg plant was amazing but everything else was lacking. They Litterally just grilled two carrots and put "Costco quality" Hummas on the plate with some almonds and Hummas. The braised short ribs were filling but the carrots should have been an appetizer. We did get a side of the charred cauliflower which was advertised as having a spicy sauce but what came out was a whole, uncut cauliflower with bread crumbs and some white cheese sauce. The cauliflower was cooked as though it had been put in a high temperature oven but not cooked long enough so it had that charred look but not cooked enough to cut easily. If you're going to have the customer cut cauliflower off the stock at least make it easy to do so right? I'm a white lady and even I say this place does not season enough. The creamedashed potatoes had a nice, satisfying texture but had almost no flavor.

One of the best rib eye steaks I've ever had. Great quality meat and cooked perfectly by the chef.

The price is very high and the food was bad. Ordered steak with truffles, never got the truffles but they put it on the bill. The broccoli was burned not blistered. Also my $25 cab was delivered when I was done eating the cold steak. Pretty space but terrible service and food. I payed $359 for two people after they discounted the mistakes I mentioned. Even than a total rip off. Before the discounts the bill was more than $400. I make better steak at home.

‼️ Tourist trap - the food is bland, ok at most and just not what you’d expect for the price.
Just wrapped up a meal at Seventh and Delores, and let me tell you, it was a letdown of epic proportions. I'm all about pushing through discomfort and embracing challenges, but this experience tested even my resilience. I approached the restaurants bar, ready to fuel up and enjoy some quality food. But what I got instead was a cold reception from the bartenders. I'm talking zero personality, minimal eye contact, and distant vibes. Now, I don't expect a red carpet, but a little warmth goes a long way, especially in the service industry. And here's the kicker: when I got the bill, I nearly spat out my drink. A 20% gratuity already tacked on, no questions asked. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm all for tipping well for exceptional service. But when you're paying top dollar for a lackluster experience, that's a tough pill to swallow. Seventh and Delores, you've got some serious work to do. Take it from someone who knows a thing or two about pushing past mediocrity - step up your game and give your customers an experience worth remembering.

Came here on a Monday to celebrate a special occasion. The service was solid, and I appreciated our waiter, Brent, brought us some celebratory bubbles when we came in. That was a great first touch point. We started with the focaccia, which was tasty, but needed an oil or some kind of dipping sauce to counter the dryness. I was excited about the French onion soup, but it was simply way too heavy and salty. It was more of a gravy than a soup. I did enjoy the Caesar salad. We got the pork chop to split with three sides -- mushrooms, broccolini, and potato au gratin. I'll start by saying I almost never send things back to the kitchen, but the pork chop was over seasoned and way overcooked and we just could not eat it, it was so dry and tough. I think the kitchen cutting into it before served dried the heck out of it. The potato was very lame -- lacking flavor or any texture. The charred broccoli was nice, as were the mushrooms, and they had a solid wine selection. Overall my experience echos many other reviews. The food here just isn't worth the cost in my experience. It's clear the ingredients are quality and stellar, but the kitchen needs some refinement to match up to the front of house and level of service. Also for me personally, the inside space was very cold and I couldn't stand the loud electronic music most of the time -- it took away from the elegance of the space.

Ordered French onion soup which was good. But a-little too thick. Def not the best French onion we had. Ordered Caesar salad - which was okay. Dry aged steak/they didn't cook it at the temperature we wanted but it was okay we didn't want to send it back. Brussel sprouts could have cooked more homogeneous and fries were okay. They brought the fries with truffle mayo which we hardly tasted the truffle. Restaurant was cold inside I couldn't get to take my coat off. I asked to sit somewhere cozy and warm but the hostess ended up sitting us right by the patio door which was resulted us having very unpleasant experience. I think you can eat much better steak at a lot of other restaurants for a better price.

Seventh & Dolores in Carmel by the Sea is my favorite steakhouse. We came here for my Dads birthday and enjoyed the tomahawk and ribeye specials. My mother's vegan and she enjoyed the carrot steak. Their wine list is awesome. Their sommelier does a good job of bringing in both local and international wines. We enjoyed a bottle of the Folktale Pinot Noir. The manager was awesome and came out and talked to us. Thank you chef and thanks Rigo! We will be back.
