    It took me a while to be able to get the reservation I wanted but it was worth the wait. My family really enjoyed it and the view of the racetrack was pretty cool especially for the kids. Our server was very nice and attentive to us. We ordered a lot of stuff off the menu including the octopus and prawns as apps, the artichokes and brussel sprouts as sides, and for the mains we got the hangar steak, ragu fettuccine, the 917 burger, and the duck confit. Everything was cooked to PERFECTION and absolutely the delicious. I would for sure recommend this place!

    Food and ambience was great. The dining experience was overall excellent however I was expecting more from the service. Server delivered the wrong check and took his time getting the check in the first time. We waited 10 minutes as he chatted up with another customer.

    Food was unfortunately not very good. The views of the racetrack make up for it.

    Got the 917 burger really good. Showed up earlier than my reservation time and was able to sit asap. Good dessert personally like the strawberry one.

    Went here to celebrate my boyfriend and I's anniversary and I don't regret a thing. I literally had to make reservations 3 months in advance but it was so worth it. The details of the restaurant are top notch for any car enthusiast to appreciate. My boyfriend had the burger and upgraded to the duck fat fries. The burger was huge and he said it was one of the best burgers he'd had in a while. The fries were a little greasy but had a great fatty flavor. I had the salad and added chicken, it was nothing too special but I did really enjoy it. We also booked simulation drives in the Sim Lab which was run on Assetto Corsa. My boyfriend said he had hoped the manual option was a bit more responsive and realistic but it was fun nonetheless. He had the GT4 and I had the GT3 both on Laguna Seca. Overall had a great experience and already making plans to go back.

    One of the best experiences. The staff was extremely helpful, friendly and approachable. Taymara at 917 went above and beyond to make our experience even greater. She was kind, friendly and funny. We will be returning again! Core memory made.
