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

Awesome Happy Hour Menu – I have eaten in *17 for dinner on serveral occasions and cannot say enough wonderful things about the cuisine and service. Last night my wife and I decided to have dinner in the bar a+, before an Astros game, to enjoy the same great quality of food but in a more casual atmosphere. The bar menu had a great selection of items for someone on a time limit. We ordered tuna tartare as a starter which is probably the best I have ever eaten. The shrimp tacos were "out of this world". Of course, you cannot e... read more
