This was a "first" time visit. Read about the "creme of crab soup". Tried it. Disappointed! Just creme with a few bits of lump crab. Next, the fried oysters platter with 1 side.
Now, I was really expecting an "over the top" platter. What I got was 3 nice breaded oysters and 2 smaller ones. Looked like they just fried 2 extra frozen oysters to add to the 5 oyster plate. Shame on the Chef for this, should have been uniform. Next, the side. French fries bits and what looked like french fries. Think it was the bottom of the bag. Over cooked and poorly presented also. Asked wonderful sweet server to bring baked potatoe, which was best part of the meal; not to mention the warm rolls.
All in all, o.k.; but would not return. For a total of $24 including ice tea, could get better elsewhere. Sorry this was such a disappointment for a nice location, friendly servers restaurant.

We arrived for dinner on a Saturday at about 1650 in the afternoon, with no reservations. We were seated immediately. Our meal was handled by two servers, Jesse and Michael in a team effort. We were greeted immediately and service was uniformly good, they were there when we needed them, but gone when we didn't, and they allowed us the time to figure out our meal, without being pushy. Very good service.
We started with salads, berry & goat cheese, and the signature Bluestone. While very different, both were quite good, fresh, and well presented. We also had a dozen oysters on the half-shell, which were a delight. For entrees we had the salmon and the tuna. Both were well prepared, presented with style, and served in a timely fashion. The portion sizes were somewhat generous, not stingy as other reviews have mentioned; if anything, it was a but to much, but we ordered a lot of food. As a result, we skipped dessert.
We had a very good dining experience here, and would definitely return. One we left, the parking lot was full, and there were folks waiting for tables and waiting to find parking. If you plan to arrive later than we did on a Saturday, it would be prudent to make reservations.

This is what a true coffeehouse should be. Fresh roasted quality coffee and a nice atmosphere. I love all of the different types of single source coffees and unique and flavorful blends. I only have one bad note: i have gotten two bad batches of ground coffee. The coffee was sour because they didnt clean out the grinder, so i tend to buy whole bean now.

We held our son and daughter-in-law's rehearsal dinner at 7West Bistro Grille in Towson, MD this past December. Boyko Tachkov (Managing Partner) and his staff provided a truly wonderful evening for our families and friends. Boyko helped plan a wonderful rehearsal dinner and took a personal interest in meeting our wishes for the dinner, atmosphere and many extras! Our guests thoroughly enjoyed their meals and serving was family style which allowed many to enjoy their favorites with second portions. If you're looking for an event venue, 7West Bistro is a great choice.
We will definitely visit again next time we are in Towson!

We ate here on Christmas Eve as guests of our son. He made an excellent choice! Our food was abundant, delicious, and well-presented and our waiter was attentive. I had the salmon pad thai, which was absolutely wonderful. It was great as a left-over the next day, too. The tables and decor were lovely, the music was at a just-right volume that it could be heard and enjoyed but it didn't override conversation. We enjoyed ourselves at this restaurant very much!
6. Basta Pasta

One of my bartender/waitress friends from another restaurant went to work here so I finally got over there to see her and try out Basta Pasta. It was really good, I had a great lunch with salad. The atmosphere is good as well and the restrooms were nice and clean. My biggest problem is it's right on Timonium Road just behind the racetrack and is difficult to get in and out of their parking lot from my house. Hopefully that won't be a problem for you, because it really is a great restaurant and has really good food.

Serving classic Persian cuisine, including kebobs with basmati rice and meat stews (khoresh) and Middle Eastern fusion dishes, including Paella and seafood, in a relaxed, elegant and tranquil atmosphere of Persian carpets, a running window fountain, and traditional Persian and French music. Local artists and musicians are regulars at our small restaurant, and business is brisk on Fridays and Saturdays at 7pm. We have been in business since 1988, and strive to offer our diners the best food and service for the best possible price.

How wonderful to find a Persian restaurant whose chef is willing to adapt recipes to accommodate my special low sodium/no salt dietary regimen. Since most dishes are made from scratch, the task was not so difficult yet yielded tasty cuisine with other appropriate spices and flavors. I was given many choices and opted for an appetizer of Haleem Bademjune that features eggplant and beans with pita triangles. It was topped with a yogurt center and was more than enough for the three diners at our table. Other diners ordered and enjoyed the Mango Pear salad while I ordered a chicken dish that seemed to melt in my mouth in a sweet pomegranate sauce. Thought I was ordering the garlic eggplant sauce but another version was presented and the taste was divine so I ate most of it. The traditional rice was beautiful and plentiful though perhaps I should have asked for the crispy bottom, a real delicacy as I recall from my experience in Tehran and in the kitchen of Persian friends. Would love to return though it is quite a trek from my home in Bethesda. Nonetheless, should I be in Towson, it will be worth a second visit for sure. You have to know where it is because this strip shopping center is hidden off the main road.

One of the only places that took reservations for Christmas Eve 2017. So hard to find a place that accommodate 7 people. Usually the restaurants here do call ahead seating but not reservations. The restaurant was busy, service was wonderful, and the food delicious.Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are thrilled that you decided to spend your Holidays with us!! Look forward to seeing you again soon.

We met friends here for dinner last night. Upon arrival, we waited quite some time before the two gals at the hostess stand turned around and noticed us. Our table was in a corner and we were jammed up against another table. There were 4 of us with enough room for 2 - there was no room on the table with the bread plates, bread basket, etc. Our waitress seemed attentive at first. Then, she would disappear at crucial times. She forgot to bring one of our drinks. We had finished our meal and were ready for a check, but she was no where to be seen. When she finally showed up, she said "Oh, sorry - I know I was gone for a second." Between feeling crowded and waiting on our server, it wasn't the most pleasant experience. We probably would have ordered dessert & coffee, but were beyond that by the time she came back to check on us. The food itself is very good - We had the brussel sprouts appetizer, which is truly to die for. The pasta of the day was excellent. It appears, though, that all of the staff are college kids & their laid back attitude doesn't lend itself to a fine dining experience.
