For the price, there are much better places to go! – For the price the food and service was just not that good. We have never waited so long for our entree and the marinara with the Calamari was like tomato soup. I got a pasta dish and brought home leftovers. I added my own sauce to it to give it some flavor! I personally think that for Italian food, Carraba's beats this place hands down. This restaurant goes all out to be an upscale, trendy place, but the food just isn't that good. Maybe we were there on an off night, but I... read more

SOHO BEST RESTAURANT !!! – We had heard about 717 South from the hotel where we were staying at. The concierge highly recommended this restaurant--and we are so happy he did. This was one of the best meals we have had in 2008 and what a wonderful ambiance. Set within art deco paitings, cozy booths, and private rooms, the atmospher was first class, the service was pleasant and friendly and the food was amazing. I ordered the Delmonico Streak, warm spinach salad, and shrimp coctail for an app. My guests had ordered the Miso an... read more

Good food... poor service – Our night started with a reservation for 4 people on 2/9/08. 2 of us arrived on time and were seated promptly. We waited for our friends for 15mins and then finally found them at the bar. These are friends that are NEVER late. They were told that there was no reservation under the given name and were rudely told by the host that maybe they had the incorrect reservation. They insisted that they were at the correct place and the host insisted that there was no exixting reservation. After we finally ... read more

Best of both worlds – Itneresting spin on Pacific Rim and Italian food, they have them both. Fun upbeat atmosphere. There is a private room for parties and a nice open bar area if you have to wait at all. Food was delicous and we tried a little bit from both worlds. Portions are large, appetizers could easily be a meal.

TOP 10 – 717 South brings big city dining with a worldly menu--spanning the world. Specializing in ITALIAN and PACFIC RIM, the chef has created 2 distinct and seperate menu's under one roof. A true compliment to Tampa Bay dining. Having spent most of my life in NY and Chicago, experiencing big city cuisine, I believe 717 South is justified in all of its praises and awards, from The Top 20 best new restaurant, Chef of the Year, Most Romantic, and so on... The ambiance, set within 1920's art deco, and decor was impressive with... read more

Unlike any other fish prepared fresh, and interesting. 717 South's menu spans from aut... read more
