Table At 7 - tastes and tales of Western and Eastern Food in One Restaurant

The name of this restaurant comes from its previous location which had the street number seven. The location is the modern, multi-storey hillside building of Sim (Singapore Institute of Management).

If you are waiting for others or a taxi you can play the piano. 

In table at seven towards the end of the meal I heard faint recorded country & Western music. I liked that. When I told a friend about the music, she said that her husband liked Country music, although she doesn't, so she wanted to know if Table at 7 was a romantic place for a Valentine's Day lunch or dinner. 

From the entrance on the 4th floor you can take the lift (Americans say elevator) down to the 3rd floor.

Entrance.
The entrance is amusingly decorated. Lots of corks in big glass bottles.


Crab starter with two tiny hot buns.

Lime juice.

The menu is a mixture of Western and Asian. Business partners Karl Dobler, who is Austrian and Asian chef Eugenia Ong are on older versions of their website. In Feb 2023 when we visited we were told that the pair have separated. Karl, who is Austrian, has gone to a German restaurant. The Asian partner, Eugenia Ong, has stayed on and the menu is similar in style to before. 


Mushroom starter.

We had items from the set menu, which changes regularly, and the chocolate dessert from the main a la carte menu.

Chocolates arrive with the bill. A touch I always appreciate.


What did we like the most? 

What did we like the least? The view of another table laid with a lovely white cloth, supposedly for a booking. But it was not used at lunch time. We had a wipe clean table. 

We went home and changed our own plastic cloth on the dining table for a white cloth.

The other diners did not like the loudspeakers out for a band when we had none. I was not bothered, thought it was interesting to know they were equipped for music. 

Catering

Apparently they do a lot of catering. birthdays and anniversaries or business meetings, or colleague reunions. You can have a dinner party for as few as ten, at a price of maybe from around 100 sing dollars a head for several courses. 

They bring their own kitchen equipment (oven) included, and serve the meal for you, and set up at around 10.30 for lunch at noon. You provide your own glasses, or pay extra for hiring glassware from them. While you are paying your bill, you might check on the latest arrangements and available dates.
