Delicious! A great birthday dinner with excellent service and manager. Only downside is that it is very loud.

We’ll admit it — we loved The Dolphin so much that when it became 7 South Bottle, we practically boycotted the place out of loyalty. Well… consider the boycott officially over. Knowing it’s still owned by the same family helped, and the staff was every bit as warm and attentive as we remembered. My wife had an espresso martini, I went with the Mai Tai, and both were excellent. We started with the whipped ricotta with blueberry pecan bourbon preserve — so good. My wife had the Harvest Grain Plate with grilled shrimp, and I had the Rosemary Flat Iron Steak with garlic mashed potatoes and sautéed mushrooms and onions. Everything was fantastic. We finished with the cookie butter beignets, which were delicious. Our only request next time: throw a scoop of vanilla ice cream next to them and we may never leave. 😂 Great drinks, great food, great service. Safe to say 7 South Bottle has officially won us over.

We sat at the bar and our tender was knowledgeable and so in love with his job. He engaged with us on all levels and sought the answers to our random questions when he was unsure. The food was phenomenal and paired perfectly with the wines. Returning is a must!

The risotto dish was incredible. Some of the best food I’ve had in Boston so far! Great atmosphere.
