The place alone was a nice set up. For a 1st date I think if you’re looking to spend 160 dollars, you can get better steaks elsewhere. The food was very sub par. The waitress was very friendly, and the cocktails were great. Id recommended coming here drinks.

Starters were solid (highly reccomend the risotto balls and the corn spoon bread) but entrees were lacking. The mushroom risotto tasted like it was leftover white rice that was stir fried with some mushrooms - lacked depth, creaminess, and flavor. The 717 lasagna was dry and seemed to just fall apart due to lack of ricotta or mozz to hold it together. The saving grace was the macadamia crusted chicken, which was moist and tender….but wasn’t so memorable where I’d have to come back. Perhaps we ordered the wrong things, but doubt we’ll be back unless it’s for a happy hour app and cocktail.

Service was ok.

Wonderful food and service!!

The grouper is to die for!

Seafood bisque had spoiled fish piece in it that ruined the entire meal.
