    The entire meal was outstanding, Surf and Turf was great, perapred perfectly. Often the of this entree can be on the small side. The tail was 8-10 oz and cooked to perfection, not over cooked. The Ribeye cooked to an ideal med-rare and so large a section went home, something that seldom happens. The stuffed chicken was also great. The best part was the start, oyster Rockerfellers the best I’ve ever had and I order them often. Service was exceptional, from being attentive without intrusive, to making a great wine suggestion.

    First time at Eighteen Seventeen. Overall experience was very good. Alexis was our server and was pleasant and professional. We made a couple of quirky requests and she handled them well. The Roots Pinot Noir was a good value. Our entrees were good to very good. Both were beautifully presented and the pecan crusted salmon was the highlight. Chocolate cake was also a big hit. Would recommend and will return.

    Came here on a date night with the hubs. Ordered a gimlet, which was good, and my husband ordered a g&t, which was not good. I wanted to try their extra dirty martini, and that was disappointing, too. The stuffed flounder was ok, but my husband said his signature chicken dish was good. Our server lacked the appropriate attention and left us wondering a few times. The oysters' rockerfeller was not great. I don't think I'd return for dinner service. Maybe lunch is better? The view is great, tho.

    Amazing dinner experience last night for us and a couple friends that were there for the first time. Like us, they enjoyed everything as well. My flounder entree was delicious as were the extra crispy brussel sprouts. The music was lovely, the service was stellar from the manager, Cole, to our server, Olga. We highly recommend this place.

    Our server Fransisco was absolutely amazing. Very knowledgeable about the food and wine. Every single item we had (which was pretty much everything on the menu) was incredible!
