Se7en is located on the second floor, so you take the elevators up. Valet parking is available.
What a night! The newest club restaurant off Kirby was LIT. Blue velvet seating, chandeliers, cabaret/burlesque dancers, a wide range of music with a DJ, and an accompaniment of a trumpet, bongo drums, and an electric guitar was all the vibes.
A friend of ours knew someone important who had invited a group of friends from the rodeo the night before, plus us 5 ladies. I think they're building engineers and such. Anyway, we were treated like VIP, and he paid for all the food and drink. Many thanks!! Do I remember and know his name? Absolutely not. You know why? The music was so loud, I could barely hear the person speaking next to me without getting all up in their space. Lol. I did say bye to the mystery man before I left, so that should count.
I've never had Dom Perignon champagne and probably never will, so I was glad to try it. It was tart, bubbly, and not too dry. I liked it. What I loved most was the glowing text on the label. I'd save the bottle just because.
We opted to order cocktails and appetizers at Bloom & Bee, so we could eat here for dinner. The food was delicious. The salad looked fresh, but I didn't try it. I had the prime beef kebabs which was an appetizer. It had sautéed red onions and parsley. The meat was tender and flavorful. It was great dipped in the hummus we ordered. The hummus came in a large dish with a side of pita. We enjoyed that. And of course, I had to order the homemade French fries. If anyone knows me, fries are my weakness. I will usually order this for myself...or the table. It did taste homemade and was seasoned with salt and cracked pepper. It was just a tad salty for me, but if you like salt, go for it. It was a little crisp and soft inside. If you like crispier fries, this may not be for you. I also had the Feel Collins, but I didn't like it much. It was too sweet. It needed something tart added.
The dancers were beautiful and dressed in coral ombré tones. They took turns dancing on the platform next to us and at the front. The lady who played the trumpet with the DJ music was amazing. She killed it. Also, the bongo drummer was so intense but really cool. He let me and my bestie join him in playing the drums! Great experience. The performers were nice about people taking photos of them and with them.
So, walking towards the restrooms was interesting. If you've ever dined at MAD, you'll understand. The hallway leading to the bathroom here isn't as long, but it did get crowded with people taking photos...all women. Who doesn't love a photo op that feels like Kusama's infinity room exhibit?! There are 3 stalls in the women's restroom. The soap and paper towel dispensers were automatic but not the toilets or sink. All of it needs to be automatic, and the space needed to be bigger and more elegant to match the rest of the restaurant's ambiance.
The restaurant was freezing, and we were seated right where the AC vents were. It was cold outside, too. We kept asking them to turn it off, which they did, but someone turned it on again.
Overall, this was a place that had an eclectic group of people that you can tell came from money or has money. I enjoyed, but I probably won't go back, unless it's another event invite.
