SEVEN Steakhouse & Sushi

Upon entering SEVEN you may feel that you entered another dimension - a place that celebrates clean lines, sumptuous food and sophisticated cocktails.

White Leather bar stools, dark chocolate colored wood accents, and a celadon colored glowing bar made of natural stone.

SEVEN the Steakhouse smells of warm comfort foods, steaks, lamb chops, every flavor of french fry that you can imagine.


But, that is only half of the story.


Upstairs is an urban, contemporary sushi bar, with large pilla
rs and huge windows overlooking the busy downtown Hennepin Avenue. The event was held here, in the Ultra Lounge.

Large banquets lining the walls, covered in chocolate brown suede, create intimate conversation spaces. A long, back it bar lines the back wall, inviting everyone to come try a cocktail.

And speaking of cocktails...

Ketel One and SEVEN offered a refreshing cocktai
l, the SEVEN Cosmo-tini. SEVEN bartender Ashley, and Sample Circuit's own Ben, garnished each one with a perfect lime twist.

Mark from Leinenkugel Brewing Co. was offering tastes of the newest craft beer that is available all year round, Leinenkugel Classic Amber.

Z Wines greeting everyone at the door, pouring, amon
g other things, the Bush Camp, Our Daily Red which was a perfect complement to the lamb chops on the buffet.
