Seven-top at 7

In our never-ending quest to dine in peace during SxSW, we fixed on 7 (which is what the sign outside says; the menus are on cards printed anew daily and didn't show the name). Or is is "Seven"? The Chron may have had some foodie gossip about it recently. It's in the old Liberty Pies / Lambert's location. With the exception of roast chicken and perhaps catfish, all main courses, with fins or without them, came from saltwater and non-farmed sources. It's sold by the ounce and for once the diners are asked "how hot," which is to say how well cooked, they want their entree to be. K. had delicious sea scallops; my ahi tuna was perfect. The vegetables are fresh and pretty much local. Our waitperson was very good. The wines, along with the menu items, were not cheap. The place is very clean. We think we get a better bargain and fish just as good (seconds from the pan to the plate to the table) from Chez Nous, but trying to dine downtown wasn't something even to consider.
