Sevendials Restaurant

Entirely disappointing and uninspiring. Following a brilliant night at the superb Gingerman restaurant last week, I was looking forward to eating at the Seven dials. Upon arriving you are immediately hit by a dull, drab interior, which still resembles the bank it once was. The staff are polite but not particularly competent (my cutlery was removed following my order and placed back incorrectly etc) and the menu was glaringly bland. Both mine and my partner’s starters (cannelloni and pork) were disappointing and although our steaks were fine, at £18 each, they were not exactly ‘fine dining’. Frustratingly and insultingly, either side of us the tables were ordering from a £10 per head menu, yet apparently receiving identical food to ours. Unsurprisingly, we didn’t stay for dessert or coffee. At £75 for a bottle of wine, 2 courses (including an insipid, unrefined tomato soup with half a slice of white bread each) the seven dials restaurant is having a laugh. If you are at all interested in food, atmosphere, attention to detail or quality service, give this place a miss.
