The food is really good, as are the drinks. It was just a little loud for conversation and a little cold near the air conditioner.

Great choice for theater goers who want the option of breakfast rather than lunch on Sunday! It is open early so you'll have plenty of time to relax and enjoy your meal. You can even walk around Downtown Crossing before heading to the Opera House.

First time at 7 South Bottle & Kitchen and was pleasantly surprised! The appetizer Sweet & Sticky Korean chicken wings were amazing!!! I usually like smoked wings but the sauce on these were delicious! I asked for the sesame tuna which was a special on seaweed salad instead on their 7 South Street salad- tuna was prepared perfectly! The fried chicken and waffle was more a chicken cutlet than what I think of when we get fried chicken. The coating was bread or panko crumbs. The bacon served with it was fatty. Another person got the cheese burger and fries and really enjoyed it. Will definitely go back.
