    Service was quick and reliable. Food was excellent. The dining room has been upgraded and it looks great. This is the best place for lunch. We go on a regular basis and will continue to.

    Loved the relaxed atmosphere dining in the courtyard. The soft shell crabs were perfectly done and delicious. This was not our first visit to Bistro 217 and it certainly will not be the last. One of our favorite restaurants .

    Love the beautiful salad selections with a piece of fish on top! I had the pecan encrusted trigger fish today over a spinach salad with feta, blueberries and strawberries. Yum!!!

    The food was great and server was very nice and knowledgeable. We’ve been several times. The only drawback was we felt a little rushed. Sat at 6:15 and had apps, salad and dinner and out at 7:15. We didn’t feel like we had time to savor or enjoy the food in front of us. They brought each thing out before we were finished with what we had in front of us, and the dessert menu before we were even done eating our meal.
