RedSeven Kitchen + Cocktail

This review is a bit (okay, a big bit) overdue, but this place was one of my favorites when I lived in Lafayette. The vibes are great, the service is excellent, and their sticky toffee cake always left my sweet tooth satisfied.

My family and I just ate here for the first time tonight for my mom’s birthday. Overall amazing experience. The restaurant itself is beautiful. The food was amazing and our server Nyla was amazing as well. We will definitely be back! 😄

The service was outstanding. We were seated immediately and as soon as we sat we were given our waters and placed our orders. We didn’t have to wait at all for anything when it came to placing orders and being served. The atmosphere was very light and enjoyable. The chips are delicious! They seemed to be home made which is a huge plus. We were given salads before our entrees which I really enjoyed because not every restaurant does something like that. The food was good. I do wish that the stir fry had some more time on the stove because the veggies were undercooked.

Fantastic restaurant! The staff were friendly and helpful. Despite being new, they were knowledgeable about the food and knew when to ask their supervisor without needing to be prompted when asked a question about food allergies and ingredients. The decor and music were tasteful and not distracting. I ordered an Asian Bowl with the Orange Chicken add on. It was perfect. Seasoning was 10/10 and the chicken. Wow. It was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Flavors blended well. Egg cooked great. My colleagues also enjoyed their food and had been here before. Everything about this dining experience was wonderful, and I will be back! Highly recommend!

Ordered the bacon wrapped shrimp which were amazing! Make sure you clean your silverware.. I Sat at the bar to get a little socialization from the bartender but he went missing most part of my visit. Overall Energy was pleasant, would recommend.

Came here for late lunch after a graduation at Purdue. The place is very cute and I really like the design of this restaurant. Service was very good and the food was amazing. Would comeback!

Dining here was pretty good! The food was very tasty. The lobster Mac and cheese was like nothing I have ever had before! Drinks were good, prices not too bad. The atmosphere was a bit too loud.

This place belongs to the same company that owns The Bryant. Inevitably, you would compare between two as they both set at the similar around the era at the affordable fine dining. The food was overall tasty and you will be amazed how they put everything together. The whole experience was delight, the glass between seats well-sound isolated giving you some privacy and quietness even though the restaurant is fully packed. You could tell from the food that they have similar elements, but I would say this place overall is slightly better than The Bryant.

We came for vegetarian options and were not disappointed. I had the Thai peanut noodles which came with a side salad and a delicious little dinner roll. My wife had vegetable stir fry. We were filled up and the food was delicious. It was even reasonably priced. I definitely recommend it. It was worth navigating all of the stoplights from the freeway.

Got a last minute reservation here on Graduation Day! We were about 10 minutes late but the restaurant was able to accommodate. Cute spot! A little confused by the "math" theme but I guess it is near an engineering school! I was torn between the peach salad and the farfalle pasta. I'm SO glad I chose the pasta. It was INCREDIBLE! I had it for lunch, brought home the leftovers, and had it for dinner that same day. The almond chicken was well breaded and the cream sauce had a lot of flavor. Highly recommend!

Food and service consistently good over past 2 years when visiting campus. Typically has good selection of draft beers.

Restaurant was awesome and food was delicious! However, the best part of the night was our server, Dom! He made the night fun, exciting, and 10x more enjoyable than any other service we've ever had. Great food, great service, amazing experience!!

We had not gone to Red Seven for over a year due to poor food quality,service and was 75% empty and they put us in a back room with steps and freezing cold.We sat for a few minutes then switched seats. The food and service were at best mediocre. We waited 45 minutes dinners! They came to our table and told me they had no wild rice,hot huh.? They offered white rice for their highest price seafood dinner. Nothing else,I mean how can you be out of wild rice and use something like plain white rice ? Unbelievable! My wife's dinner was cold as they were probably holding to get the seafood dinner ready. We were in the restaurant for over 70minutes waiting for food or service or freezing. What a shame that this one time terrific restaurant has not recovered from a downward trend. It will be a long time before we ever think of going back to Red Seven. ,

Food and service was awful! We were sat and had to finally go up to ask for a server to come to greet our table with drinks. Food was burnt, incessant and lacked any flavor. Kids meal was burnt to the point of not eatable.

This restaurant felt like a nice environment, the lighting and tables give a nice ambiance and the portions are still filling. I had the shrimp alfredo which tasted as you would expect and the prices were reasonable. I would definitely come here at least once! The waiters were kind and the restaurant was very popular and had many people there.

for a saturday night with no reservation we waited a little over an hour to be seated, which was fair. the service was awesome, david was the best. i had the boursin steak and it was so good i really enjoyed the flavor combinations in the meal. the side salad and rolls were also so good and felt like a free appetizer. i love the looking the restaurant, they had options for vegetarians too! i think that if in WL you should check this place out for a step up in dining

This is one of my favorite lunch places in downtown Lafayette. Reasonably priced and big portions. The service has always been quick and friendly and the food is always consistently good. The most recent time I had the cheddar bacon burger and it was a very large sandwich for $12! Next time I plan to try the grilled peach salad. It looks delicious!

So nummy delish! Fun restaurant, our server Logan was super awesome! My fav Logan experience was when we asked about his tattoo that spans his whole forearm of a phrase in mandarin-he explained it, then began to say it, then looked at me and stopped himself. lolz. for all the Purduers, make ur parents take u here when ur in town fo sho. Also, the deconstructed key lime pie was not great. Kinda just a cup of cream, but I appreciate the effort

Service is great. Pulled pork stuffed potato skins, side salad and steak are great. May wait for a while when busy.

We came for a weekday lunch because they have a very nice patio area that is dog friendly. I had the fish tacos with fries and they weren't the best I've ever had but they were decent. Service was friendly but a little on the slow side which is understandable in this era of labor shortages. If I had been on a lunch break and needed to return to work, I would have been checking my watch. There were 4 dogs, including mine, on the patio and the hostess spread us out. Though, frankly, the dogs probably would have preferred to be together.

Great food and professional service. The walleye was light, flavorful, and looked awesome. It was a perfect evening to enjoy dinner in the outside dining area.

I looked at the menu and Red Seven didn't have lobster rolls on it! I looked at their menu because Yelp advertised they were number 1 for Lobster Rolls? Confused.

Always an amazing meal here. The service is great, eclectic menu without being "weird". We seek this place out everytime we head to Kentucky to visit our daughter at school.

Excellent food and service! Steaks, appetizers and crusted chicken wonderful. Highly recommended.

I have now eaten at Red Seven Bar and Grill four times over the past couple years. I have a student at Purdue and we always eat at Red Seven. She loves the Lobster Mac and Cheese. Funny story, last year after eating dorm food for a couple months, she said Oh My God this Lobster Mac and Cheese is the best food I have had in well two months. My food was great and has been great on every visit. The service staff is great, the front desk/check in has been 50/50, but nothing major, just not super inviting every visit. What are you gonna do?

OMG! What more can I say! Steaks always to perfection. Pork chop tender, juicy. Sides are perfectly paired to the meal. Cocktails delicious. You gotta try this place!

Food was pretty awesome, and the service was good. We had three separate dishes and everyone was happy with their food. About 30 bucks a person, without alcohol.

This was my first time in Lafayette, IN, and some friends suggested Red Seven downtown. They have indoor and outdoor seating, and we chose to eat outside. The service was good. The food was the highlight. We had a couple of appetizers - Southwest Veggie Rolls with avocado dipping ranch and Bacon Wrapped Shrimp with spiced bourbon sauce. They were both really good. For dinner we had the Salmon and the Truffled Lobster Mac & Cheese. Both tasted great. Unfortunately I didn't get to take any pictures because it was a work dinner. But, the presentation of all the dishes was really nice. I would definitely eat here again.

Great place for lunch or dinner while visiting Purdue campus. We had brunch/lunch prior to graduation ceremonies. It worked out perfectly and everything was delicious. Great staff and service. Making reservations was pretty easy (we were an early time slot). Highly recommend for any out of town parents looking for a close and casual spot.

Every experience my fiance and I have here is just amazing. The food, the service, the drinks. All amazing. Thank you for being my favorite place to go!!

Steak is hard outside, but nice inside.. well service and big portion.. Next time should be better

*Visited February 2021* A group of three for a birthday dinner on a Saturday night. Unfortunately we were seated at a table closer to the entrance, but considering the restaurant was busy. We definitely enjoyed ourselves and the service was quick and effective. This was my second visit, and I would absolutely recommend. The truffle mac n cheese was my favorite! *Not pictured the housemates tres leches bread pudding - mouth watering !

Very unique restaurant! There were so many different things on the menu, it's easy for anyone to find something to eat! The chicken stir fry was very yummy and the chicken was flavorful/juicy! The tex max egg rolls were fantastic!! The dipping sauce was soo good and is probably the biggest reason why I'd go back haha! The service was fast and very helpful!

I was visiting from out of town and dropped by this place for an early dinner. Realistically, this place is 3.5 stars, but I'll round up cause the food wasn't bad. The place is clean and put together and the service was prompt and regularly checked in with our party. I got the lobster mac with a side salad. The lobster mac was good, with a decent sized portion, sufficient lobster, and seasoned well. The salad threw me off a little since I asked for balsamic vinegar dressing, and when it came it was super creamy and thick. However, that might have just been an error on my part for not clarifying.

This is a good go-to for "fancy delivery" during COVID, without "fancy" price tags. The food is delicious. My favorite is the farfalle with almond crusted chicken, delicious and it feeds me for multiple meals when I'm watching my portions. I also highly recommend the bacon wrapped shrimp, sadly I forgot to take a photo before I devoured them. Check out their menu for an eclectic collection of delicious food sure to please anyone in your household.

Service and food were excellent!! Atmosphere is very inviting. Prices are average for downtown. Not your typical bar food.

We love sitting in the bar or on the patio. We always get the same thing.. flank steak with a house salad and it never disappoints! My only suggestion is to please update your cocktail list

We've eaten at a number of places in Lafayette and West Lafayette and while our expectations were moderate going in, I was really disappointed by this restaurant. The good - the decor is lovely. It has a great atmosphere and the bar area is really gorgeous. If the weather was nice, I imagine the patio would be nice too. The "not so good" - We were very disappointed not only by the cocktails we ordered, but also by the food. I don't consider myself a very picky person. The calamari was pretty tasty so that I will give a thumbs up. But everything else was quite disappointing. We ordered filet sliders and empanadas. I don't find myself to be a picky eater and both were awful. The sliders were so tough and chewy I could barely bite into them. And the empanadas were dry and flavorless. I was surprised they had chorizo because I could not taste it. I would not recommend this place for anything other than a bottled beer in the bar and that's strictly for atmosphere.

We tried to have dinner at Bru Burger but with a 45 min wait expected we decided to walk and see how long the wait would be at Red Seven and were delighted the hostess squeezed us in immediately. With directions we would have to finish our meal within an hour we were seated quickly, drink order taken and menus presented. While waiting for our sangria we had to ask for gluten free options since the menu isn't marked well. Our server was great, asked the kitchen for both appetizer and main meal options that could be offered GF. I ended up with the salmon (delicious) and son had the filet sliders (yum). Surprise of the night was the GF flank steak which the usually unhappy celiacs son would have groaned over since it was not really what he wanted. He LOVED it. The jasmine rice, fresh green sauce on the perfectly cooked steak. Overall a great meal!

chic, up-scale restaurant in the heart of downtown lafayette. would be a super cute girls night or date night spot! we came here on a friday night and it was pretty crowded, so i would definitely recommend making reservations! the food here was pretty good as well. i would highly recommend the empanadas and egg rolls as an appetizer. the roasted cauliflower pasta was good, but could definitely use more spice! the one dish i would not recommend is the grilled peach salad. the peaches used were very underripe and seasoned with cinnamon? aside from the food, the service was amazing! our server was extremely friendly and attentive. i will be back!

The food is pretty great, I had some pasta there with my girlfriend, our waitress was pretty nice and we got our appetizers and meals pretty quick. The whole feel of the place was nice. I could honestly say in this atmosphere, by my taste, it was the only place I walked into where I enjoyed the music I was hearing the whole time. Considering I didn't even know any of the songs they were playing, that's saying something haha. Almond Crusted Chicken, Filet Mignon Sliders, the pulled pork stuffed potato skins were amazing actually and I don't even favor that type of appetizer let alone a potato skins. I expected a bit more from the queso, but we can't get everything we hope for out of one place. Just so you know the chips are, I believe, to be house-made potato chips, not tortilla, so don't order like I did unless you know that from the jump. The manager was nice enough to take it off the bill, when they found out I made a mistake thinking there would be tortilla chips on the plate. Overall very nice place, check it out!

Every time I eat here it is amazing! Service is always great, the ambiance inside is wonderful, and the food is delicious

Well the best place to go to eat. Four out of Five stars. Let's be honest, it was a Saturday night. Early however. Five in the evening, reservation and sitting inside. Wonderful waitress. And, I have said this before and will say it again.... It's a combined effort between the entire staff. We were seated promptly and in a very nice location. The waitress was prompt and responsive. The couple we brought with us excited to try this restaurant for the first time. I have eaten here before for Lunch and Dinner with no problems. How can you screw up a hamburger. Maybe in hind site that's what I should have ordered. But... We ordered our wine and appetizers. Starting with a nice Baked Goat Cheese. Let's take a look at that shall we. Homemade pomodoro sauce with goat cheese and crusty bread. Now this is ok since pomodoro sauce is a simple Italian tomato sauce. Now take that and plop a doppler of goat cheese in the middle. Hmmm, why bake it? Must be their way of warming it up. I followed that up with Lemon Pepper Calamari with again the pomodoro sauce. What could go wrong with this, right? $9 for the Baked Goat Cheese and $10 for the Calamari. That's ok, if its good. The bread was nothing special, had a very small amount of goat cheese and was luke warm. Not really baked. The bread was simply a chibatta bread that was sliced cold. Ok, I can eat that. The calamari was over cooked to the point of almost being burnt. And, can one say chewy? Overcooked. I guess I should have noticed what the rest of the meal was going to be like. However... On the the main course. Four people, Rainbow Trout, Thick Cut Ribeye, Filet Mignon Sliders and Filet Mignon with Bacon Wrapped Shrimp. Sounds delicious doesn't it? The waitress was on time and served them at the same time. That's great. So, here is where things started falling apart. A medium rare 20 ounce thick cut ribeye with yukon gold mashed potatoes, asparagus and a house made steak sauce all for $40. Don't mind paying that for a great meal. But, my guest cut into the steak and it was well done. Yep, not even pink. The line cook missed that one by a mile. The sauce tasted like an A1 Steak sauce right out of the bottle. Let's send that back. Well, when the rainbow trout came out, I as happy to see they served it at least with the skin on and up. Cut into it and, over cooked. Someone forgot to tell the other like cook that you don't cook trout the same way you do a steak. Oh, what about wine reduction sauce you ask, tasted like a mole sauce. The only thing it was missing was a hint of chocolate. Let's think about this for a moment. This sauce is a simple sauce, red wine, garlic, thyme and shallots. There may be other ways of making it and I can't even imagine how they made it taste like a mole sauce. Ok, what about the charred broccoli? It was woody. They didn't trim the ends at all. You could see some white oozing from the end of the stems. And I don't think that was a good sign. Now, the potatoes tasted pretty good. A little lumpy for me but ok. Oh, back to the steak. While I'm looking at my dish, my guest was considering what to do with her steak. She decided instead to go with the Salmon dish. She had thought about it when she chose the steak anyway. So, out comes the pan seared salmon with lemon pea purée, roasted yukon potatoes and other sides and garnishes. It looked petty good. But as everyone knows, looks can be deceiving. She cut into her salmon and,wait for it.... It was raw. I think I saw it trying to swim though the petter relish. My other guests dish, the filets and bacon wrapped shrimp was all overcooked. and the filet sliders were well done too. Wow. Someone in the kitchen, or the entire kitchen needs to go back to culinary school or at least read a few cook books. I walked out and got the manager and showed her the table and explained to her all the problems with the evenings meals. She acknowledged the problem and comped the entire meal. Overall, it was a disaster of a night. Two appetizers and five main courses and not one thing was right. But, keep in mind, it's not the waiter or waitresses fault. I tipped the waitress the entire cost of the meal.

Monday night - this place was hopping! Who goes out to dinner on Monday nights? Apparently a lot of people. I was worried about the crowd, but our group of eighteen was handled extremely professionally. Server was super attentive and the kitchen staff must have been on it, because our orders came out fast. Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp was spectacular and my husband loved the sliders. Oh, and I tried their Old-Fashioned and it was tremendous. Kudos to the staff who worked their tails off tonight. We will be back!

We went for lunch on a Monday with a party of five. Was asked at the door if we had a reservation and could we be in and out, in an hour and a half. I said that depends on the kitchen I guess. We asked the waitress what kind of fries they served and she said "like McDonald's but better." That was a negative, they were so crunchy it was like eating chips. For this to be a more "upscale" restaurant, the food was subpar and bland, hindsight I wish at the door she would have said reservations only and saved us our money!

A fine restaurant in the heart of Boiler country. One of for restaurants owned by the same family and always a delightful evening had whenever we come here. Excellent service and quality though parking can sometimes be an issue.

Came here after the Purdue Christmas show. We parked at the bank deck across the street for free. Menu looked good, lots of tasty looking options, genre is elevated American. Food was pretty good! I got the spicy shrimp pasta dish and husband got the walleye. We sat at the bar and service was fast. Cocktails were pretty ordinary. Overall was a good experience but probably won't go out of our way to come here again with so many other options to try!

First class!!! Excellent food, service and ambiance. I love their mahi-mahi with linguine!!!

I have tried both the lunch and dinner menu and the lunch menu is much better. The Alfredo is very plain and lacks flavor. The chicken sandwich on the lunch menu is pretty good and the fries are awesome. The last few times I've been the lights have flashed and flickered but it doesn't bug me too much.

I've been to Red Seven many times. Came tonight with a group and the food was good. The cleanliness of the restaurant, however, is lacking. Several times lately, I have noticed lots of dust on surfaces. Tonight, we were sitting next a window and the sun was coming in. I could see dust covering the bench seat and the ledge above the seat. There was constantly dust flying in front of my face. The mirror above our table had fingerprints on it. There were gnats buzzing around our drinks. They definitely need to do some deep cleaning and do it often.

The food was excellent. The waitress was marvelous. A perfect meal and a perfect experience. It was our 48th wedding anniversary. We got a free dessert of key lime pie. And they gave it to us in a gluten-free way so my wife could enjoy it as well. I would highly recommend this restaurant!

Came here for dinner during Purdue freshman move-in weekend. Food was delicious! Loved the calamari-so crispy! Had a skirt steak as my entree -very tasty as well. Everyone else loved their apps and entrees. Would definitely return! Decor is a bit more upscale but not formal. A great place for a night out!

Staff was very attentive and pleasant. Food was delicious and not too heavy. Very good iced tea. And a great place for dinner with your Boilermaker before leaving them for the new semester.

Great flavor. Host was friendly. Found this spot in downtown Lafayette. I would go back.

Came here twice in one week. First visit was with a large group for work and the second with a friend. Both visits ran quite smoothly. Staff was very friendly available helpful and professional. Food has large portions which justify the price point. Some notable items are the surf and turf, potstickers and soup. Everything else was par for the course and sometime over salted. Ambience is modern with emphasis on dark woods and there is a generous bar and outdoor space as well. I would come back again and try more of the menu.

Food is AMAZING!! Service is great! Bathrooms leave a lot to be desired. Trash cans are always overflowing, sinks are nasty, toilet paper all over the floor. The manager needs to have the bathrooms taken care of hourly, as much as they have the rest of the restaurant under control.
