“There is never a meal that isn't spectacular at Bistro 217! Every plate is perfectly presented and each bite invokes the desire to do a happy dance or at least allow an "Oh my gosh this is amazing" to slip through a bliss mouthful of goodness. We try not to repeat dishes, but the Tomato, Crab & Jalepeno Soup is a must every time as are the Chocolate Cayenne and Coffee Ice creams...try 'em mixed, you will thank me for the suggestion. The new Chop Block is a welcome addition and I hope to see Lamb Chops on it soon, but the delicious Venison on the Chop Block is truly a winner. We are always grateful for a table touch from the owner herself allowing us the chance to let her know how amazing the food and service are and also to wish her much continued success. Do not miss and opportunity to dine here! Lunch is just as exceptional as dinner and only the soup and salads repeat on the menu. Two wonderful experiences on the same day have happened quite a few times for us especially when we have visitors in town.“

“First visit to this wonderful establishment & certainly will not be the last. We sat on the porch looking at the large tree going through ceiling. Enjoyed listening to the rain on the tin roof along with atmosphere. Meal options were plentiful & oh so good. Liked that the salads could be made into smaller portion for any of them listed. The small portion options on menu we just right. Service by Ashley S was spot on. Very nice evening & plan on more in the future.“

“As a couple we couldn't choose from so many interesting options so we decided to split a 5 course meal - we got 1 of 5 different dishes and shared. (We do not have the ability to eat as much as we once could but even sharing we brought home leftovers! We had oysters Rockefeller, steak tartare, anti-wedge salad, elk tenderloin and a pasta dish with lobster and the side of corn soufflé. All wonderful!“

“DeRomas is two hours from our home but no local pizza compares! We are happy to make the drive. They par-bake the pizza so we can finish it at home and it is phenomenal. It is a crowd pleaser, everyone loves it! Not one complaint. Crust is perfect, sauce is delish, cheese mix is the best! We are DeRomas devotees! (Also, the price is unbelievable. An X-Large is less than $25 and feeds 6 easy! That’s with hungry kids and adults!)*the photos attached are par-baked so we can finish when we get home! In the restaurant they’re cooked til perfectly golden and bubbly!“

“My daughter and I visited here on 10/18 from Baltimore. The acai bowl with propolis and real peanut butter and banana was SO good! I love that they use majority natural products without adding so much extra sugar. My daughter got a smoothie with fro-yo in it and she loved it. Both items were, in my opinion, very generous portion sizes. The gentleman who was working was extremely pleasant and made great conversation. We really enjoyed our experience here!Parking: Easy to park and walk right in!Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly. Several tables inside.“

“10/10!!! Excellent quick service and everything was delicious. I went with the fried seafood platter. You could tell all the seafood was lightly hand breaded. The scallops melted in your mouth like butter, haddock was perfectly flaky, and the shrimp was perfectly cooked. Not a teensy bit overdone.The staff was very attentive, didn’t have to ask or wait on anything!Definitely stop and give them a try. You can’t go wrong with anything!!“

The shrimp in the shrimp basket were 3 bite HUGE - and they didn't batter the shelled tails, they were all shrimp. Nice afternoon with some reggae in the background! The fries are lightly battered and seasoned.“

“Before you get to the tourist insanity of the beach areas, this is an island of calm. We aren’t buffet people, but fortunately you can order off the menu. We had barbecue sandwiches and sweet tea and didn’t break the bank. There were four kinds of sauce, and we are all about sauce: vinegar, hot vinegar, mustard, and ketchup based. We tried them all. Why not? Staff were very friendly and helpful.“
