   The drinks are nasty but strong. The Pineapple Margarita tastes like a tequila sunrise. Doesn’t taste like a margarita at all. The drinks taste cheap like at open bar at a wedding. The View drink tastes like a blue Long Island. The food was horrible. Grits were so watery couldn’t even scoop them with spoon or fork. The shrimp in the grits had a great flavor. Lamb chops had barbecue sauce on them which they didn’t disclose on the menu. Potatoes had a bland taste. Overall recommend you go there to party but not to eat. I love the ambience and the customer service was good.

   I love this place! The atmosphere is amazing, and the staff is so professional. The food was hot and amazing as well. The DJ was jamming and had me thinking about throwing my Birthday Party at The VIEW 1701.

   You’ve got to check out this amazing spot! The view is cozy and inviting, and it’s the perfect place to indulge yourself in some delicious food while enjoying live music. I can’t rave enough about the bang-bang cauliflower—it’s a total flavor bomb! The spinach and artichoke dip are so good, and you definitely need to try the chicken wings and their hot honey chicken sliders—they're a hit! The service here is fantastic, which makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. With its lively atmosphere, it’s just the right spot to hang out with friends or plan a sweet date night. Trust me, you don't want to miss this!

   music was a bit loud for my taste, but the selection was very good and the vibes were on point. server was excellent. ordered the salmon bites and they were AMAZING, but the fries were basic af. drinks were great too. bit of an older crowd tho.

   We were seated on time for our reservation, that's a plus. The waitress and staff were pleasant. we went for brunch, and I had the chicken wings they were seasoned just right and fried to perfection. I enjoyed the food and ambiance and will be returning.
