A hostess ding dong for dessert? – i asked for a ceasar salad, which they served in the bar, and the server made it seem like it was such an ordeal. He had to ask the chef if he would make it, which he did, but i think he forgot the dressing. i asked for a malbec and the manager brings me 3 other types of wine to choose from, because they have a limited selection. he then choose one for me, which sucked. they serve some sort of paste with bread before the appetizer, it tasted like bean dip. only gives you one roll, which was... read more
Fall from Grace – It's sad when one of your favorite restaurants slips but fortunately there are others to take it's place. On my first vist back to 17 after the change in chefs I was dissapointed with the dinner. It was for restaurant week but really it should always be right... there shouldn't be an excuse. From what I heard, most of my dinner companions were also dissapointed. I may have gone back to give it another try had I not heard from other friends who dined with smaller parties on regular nights and had a negative ... read more
Business response:
opinion2008, I agree it is sad when one of your favorite restaurants slip and falls form grace. Americans, however, love a comeback. In the past year The Alden was purchased by a small group of investors. The hotel is under new management and has made several changes. *17 has a new chef Sam Beier, the same servers, and a new General Manager. That would be me Patrick Dorrian. I believe that as a team we have been able to return *17 to some of its old glory with some new touches in place and big surprises on the way. We are cu... read more
Wonderful Experience – My husband and I have been fans of *17 for several years. Unfortunately, we have not been to dinner there since they had gotten their new Chef earlier this year. We had read lots of great reviews so I decided to take my husband there for his birthday prior to going to a concet in downtown. The restaurant looked amazing as they had changed the furniture in the room around. The large white chairs were quite comfy. The waitress knew we were on a time schedule due to the concert and made sure all 3 courses... read more
Not a Good Night – We hadn't been to 17 in several years, but had been reading it was getting good reviews, so we booked a table. Disappointing evening. 2 couples went to celebrate an anniversary (17th!). The food, although very well presented, was nothing special, mainly because the food was not hot (my husband did like his scallop special.) Even the cappucino was lukewarm. Staff seemed inexperienced. Our waiter, a new employee, tried his best but did not know much about the menu. The waitress in the bar did not know about ... read more
Simply Excellent – My first visit we had the chief?s Tasting Menu with wine. Once we decided to have the tasting, the chief came out to our table to ask us what kind of foods we liked, giving us several ?raw materials? to select from. He then suggested various preparations and offered suggestions. It was a custom meal to our likings, with an excellent wine paring. The food was incredible and was the presentation and service. The second visit was this week during Houston Restaurant Week. We had the same server and the service... read more
Critically hailed inventive New American cuisine characterizes this chic downtown eatery in the Alden-Houston Hotel. – Just beyond the ultramodern lobby of this sleek boutique hotel, 17's dining room offers oversized white leather chairs, vibrant red brocade walls, glittering chandeliers and patterned wood flooring. Leather banquettes and tables are appropriately spaced and lighting is conducive to intimate dining. Executive Chef Wes Morton utilizes locally sourced and seasonal ingredients to create the menu. Highlights incl... read more
Always delightful – I'm surprised the last reviewer had such a terrible time, especially considering I was at the same event/same seating for Valentine's day and had a wonderful experience. This was not our first meal there and definitely not our last. The food was spot on and the wine pairings were practically perfect (I use to work at a top wine bar in Houston and can be quite picky about my pairings). While my boyfriend and I have not quite achieved "foodie" status we definitely have had many meals in restaurants like thi... read more
Worst Valentines Day place – We went for a very special dinner in Valentines day. We made a reservation to be seated at 9:00 pm. We waited in the hotel lobby for 1.5 hours until we were actually seated, no one offered any drink or appetizer during the wait . Just after this we had to wait 15 minutes more to receive water and menus (which we could not use anyways because there was a fixed menu due to the occassion). Finally the food came and it was good but definitely extremely pricey for the amount of actual food. The third ... read more
They should rename this place -10 – Here's the scene- Saturday night, just after 8 pm. The light show from the lounge illuminates the empty restaurant in various colors. No worry- we go to the bar to wait for our group of 10. We quickly triple the attendance, which is made up of single depressed men who thought it would be hip to stay at this hotel for their business trip. We collect our group and are seated at a long table in prime location. There are only two other couples there so we anticipate excellent service. It is ca... read more
