Very cool place. We came here before the OU/Kansas game. I loved the feel of the place and loved the tailgate atmosphere. They had TV's all over the place and the service was great Our waitress never missed a beat and the drinks were nicely priced.
I did not try the food, but it looked good.
I came to Seven47 for a dinner banquet last week, and I really enjoyed the environment this place has to offer - contemporary & chic. However, the food was not exactly anything spectacular. Maybe it was because we only had two choices so I didn't get to experience the restaurant at it's full potential. Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy the food that was given me, but it just wasn't anything memorable.
Review Source:After not having a proper meal for 15 or so hours, my companion and I decided to give seven47 a shot,(she had been once and had a good experience).
Upon entering the building, I was impressed by the modern space. It was very nice, and spacious, yet seem to lack a bit of 'soul'... But it was nice. Â
The server/waiter that helped us 'Adam' maybe.... Was prob the best server I've had In a long time. Awesome service.
Food:
I ordered the crabcakes appetizer. It was delish... Maybe a tad on the small side, but they were dang good.
Main dish:
Had the 'Big Boy' mac n cheese. It was very tasty, and was as pleasing as promised . Being from POrtland though, I've had a good fill of specialty macs from 'The Montage', so I must admit, it prob wasn't up to Montage mac standard...but it WAS good. I'd prob give it 3.75 stars.... so i rounded up
Yes, go, it was nice..
The food at Seven47 is great! Â The drinks are tasty and our waiter was friendly and professional. Â Try a Frozen Bull! Â It's a frozen drink made of raspberry vodka and red-bull. Â It's so darn delicious and it tastes like a glass of candy.
For dinner I tried the Chicken Tortellini and it was yummy. Â The pesto sauce they put on it was very good. Â I sampled my mates Spicy Shrimp Pasta and it was almost as good as my dish. Â The Chopped Salad was really good too and despite the fact that it comes covered in Bleu Cheese Dressing, it is scrumptious! Â The dressing tasted more like ranch to be honest (I usually don't like the strength of Bleu Cheese). Â The prices aren't sky-high as you might assume, instead they're very reasonable. Â We spent barely over $50 for two people and we ordered 2 dinner entrees, 2 frozen drinks, 2 beers, and a side salad. Â Not too shabby eh?
But if the food somehow fails to electrify you, then the decor will surely do the job. Â I think whoever designed this place had "kickass" in mind. Â The LED lights on the bar and on the walls really make this place seem hip. Â Not to mention the tables and booths are definitely on the fancy side. Â This place has a very chic modern feel to it and it's noticeable from the outside patios (both upstairs and down), as well as when you walk through the entrance of Seven47. Â If you've ever witnessed what the "club scene" looks like in places like Miami, FL then this might be as close as you can get to it in Norman, OK.
This place has a great atmosphere and would've only been better if it was packed with more people. Â I went on a relaxed Tuesday night and there was plenty of seating. Â Seven47 is very well done and I know I'll be coming back, over and over and over...

Highly trafficked hangout on campus corner with average food but good service.
This is THE hangout in Norman if you wanna party with the athletes. Â It's not a place that I much care for during daytime, non alcoholic dining.
Likes: Â If you're a blond sorority girl who wants to hook up with a linebacker, this is the spot. Â The atmosphere is great, nice and trendy, not too loud but not too reserved. Â It's always packed with groups of university party-goers. Â The service is good and classy, and I've gone to a couple parties in private rooms that were very well handled. Â Their menu is different from anywhere else too, and they have a great sandwich selection.
Dislikes: Â The food is okay, nothing to write home about. Â The menu contains a number of items that get your hopes up and make you think the place may have some gourmet potential, but in the end, the low quality of the food & its ingredients say otherwise. Â It's not bad by any means, but it's just above mediocre.
Good place for drinks and parties, not the best dine in restaurant.
Fun, hip bar on campus, that apparently also serves food? I haven't ever eaten here, but I have had drinks and they were deeelicious. My mom took me here for my bachelorette party (lol) and it was a lot of fun! My friends all loved it too. We had a cool private room with a glass top table that I heard my wedding participants (mostly groomsmen) danced on later at night on the day of our wedding, haha. I remember the bartenders/servers being very friendly. My favorite part of my bachelorette party (minus drinking with my mom, sister & a bunch of friends) was some drunk guy bringing me a wadded up piece of butcher paper that was basically trash but that they'd colored on/written semi-obscene things on that said "happy birthday bitch, love dave". I'll never forget those immortal words...
Review Source:I personally love Seven47! The building is really cool as well as the patio's (3, downstairs and up). Â Its a great place to sit outside and have a drink and eat. Â They now have Slider(mini- hamburgers) on Thursdays and they are a great addition to the menu. Â If I remember right there are 6 or 7 different kinds. Â I don't miss a Thursday anymore. Â I hear some people complain about parking spaces, but I don't know why. Â They have their own parking lot just north of the restaurant. Its literally a pitching wedge away.
The Chicken fried chicken is really good, along with the steaks but I always get the Kobe burger every time! Its amazing. Â
As far as drinks/nightlife go, the bar is pretty much always packed and you always see someone you know there. Â Also, If you are in a hurry or "behind" if you know what I mean, order the frozen screwdriver. Â They are super tasty and do the trick. Â Also really good on a hot day on the patio.
Absolutely Horrible Management.
I have been here on multiple occasions. Day and night.
At night it isn't so bad, because you don't notice how disgusting the interior really is, and I didn't care about service so much because I was there for a few drinks.
I would strongly encourage anyone looking for an evening meal to SKIP this place. I have never been to a restaurant with staff (including the hostess and MANAGER) that were so completely and utterly unprofessional. I can't say enough bad things.
One good thing - if you don't care about service or cleanliness, some of the food items are not terrible.
I guess this is the new "it" club/bar in Norman where everyone and everyone's friends get together. I came here after a big OU win in the fall and it was packed! It reminded me of a typical trendy club in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood. Lots of blonde sorority girls and frat guys with no other talk then football and the occasional, "oh my god!". The music was loud and the floor flooded with spillage. We came here in the afternoon so the sun was still shining in; I would have liked it more if we came in the evening. I'll give it another try next time, but I still prefer smaller, intimate bars and not large warehouses.
Review Source:great place both for nightlife and dining - specifically breakfast - food was very new-age American and great for more eclectic travelers to the area that want something more (alot more!) than the greasy spoon. Â
nightlife can be "touch and go" (pardon the pun ;) at times depending on local campus events, etc. Â the few times I was there I thought the crowd was relatively diverse and people were relatively friendly. Â locals say this is the more upscale place on the block, which explains why I probably enjoy the atmosphere.
a nice surprise adjacent to the college campus.
