WOW , we went with a party of five for my wife’s birthday and were blown away by the food and service , we started with the Fig and Pig , 717 Goyza and the arancini bon bon appetizers, then the chef bought us out a plate of his gnocchi with truffles and all of the plates were delicious and we devoured them all. Dinner was next and we ordered the 717 steakhouse burgers , the Whiskey Pig and the Pasta Verde and a side of the cream corn brûlée. The food portions were huge and all were perfectly seasoned. We all had plenty of leftovers to take home . Chef Robert then bought out a dessert for my wife which he made for her , I can’t even explain it but all I can say is it was incredible. The chef sat with us and explained each dish and had a great conversation with us on his vision of the restaurant, we will definitely be going back there and we highly recommend this place .

We had a 12 top in the private room and even though the service and venue were phenomena, they served me a very rare, almost raw steak and instead of making me a new one they scorched it when they put it back on the grill and it was Grey and char tasting when I ate it. Not sure if I will go back because any high standard restaurant would have provided a new steak.

We had brunch on Jan. 7 and it was wonderful! Pancake and Old Man and the Sea smoked salmon breakfast arrived on short order and were prepared perfectly. The ambience on 717 makes the dining experience even better!

We have been wanting to try this place out for a long time. Finally got over on a Saturday afternoon but didn't realize it was a brunch menu (mostly breakfast items). Not really our jam for that day but we needed to eat. The food was fine but it was average. We were really wanting to try their seafood plates and might return but the overall experience was nothing impressive so we might focus on other places we want to try first.

The ambiance and food was amazing . We ordered the bread to start off with it was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside . I had a class of rose and my fiance had merlot . For our entrees he had the banzai chicken & I had the pesto pasta . Both were delicious and flavorful ! Also the portions were great . We will definitely be back

Unimpressed. Went for NYE, had a 6 o'clock reservation. Restaurant was not busy when we were there. They had prix fixe menu for the evening. Started with truffle ravioli and arancini bon bons. Ravioli was the only highlight of the evening. They were absolutely delicious! Bon bons were dry and lacked flavor. Next course was Cesar salad and crab corn chowder. Chowder was decent, but the texture was off. The corn was slightly undercooked. There was nothing wrong with the salad, but it probably only had ~10 small pieces of lettuce. Looked more like a garnish than a course. Main course was sea bass and wagyu. The wagyu was cooked perfectly but had no seasoning or salt at all. The asparagus extremely thin and impossible to eat because of stalky consistency. I had to spit part of it in my napkin because I physically could not chew and swallow it. The sea bass was horrible. If it was in fact sea bass. It did not have the buttery texture or sweet taste that sea bass is known for. The fish did not flake apart with a fork and I had to put effort into cutting it, which is totally not normal for this type of fish. It also lacked any type of flavor or salt. The profitterolle dessert was not good. The pastry was too tough to eat. The ice cream tasted like the cheap vanilla you buy in bulk with a smear of Nutella. From the great reviews, I expected much better and left disappointed.

Visited with a friend on 23rd. Had the scallops. They were a tad undercooked and only two scallops. Had the grouper and it was overcooked. However, I did not say anything. They would have probably brought me another. My friend had the brussel sprouts and truffle ravioli. Both were amazing. Service was good, but bit slow.
