What Barbara Sommerer likes about 17:
We had a lovely evening at the restaurant. We felt welcomed and enjoyed our meal. Despite having only one chef and one staff member, they both worked hard to ensure everything ran smoothly. I'm not sure how they would have managed if there were more customers, but they did a great job. View all feedback. What JoshuaJ doesn't like about 17:
I have visited the restaurant several times and have largely had a pleasant experience. However, I was a bit disappointed with the graduation menu. For example, we had a young child so we asked for plain pasta but they couldn’t do that because everything was pre-made, (which wasn’t a good sign).

At 17, diners encounter an intimate atmosphere complemented by a focused menu and attentive service. Most reviews highlight the exceptional quality of dishes like duck and the delightful chocolate orange cheesecake. Guests appreciate the friendly staff, who often go above and beyond even with a minimal team. However, some experiences reveal inconsistencies, particularly regarding the quality of ingredients and menu flexibility, leading to disappointment with specific dishes. Though praised for its ambiance and service, the restaurant's execution can falter, creating a dining experience that oscillates between delightful and underwhelming. Overall, it remains a worthwhile visit for many.
