17 River Grille offers excellent service with perfectly prepared meals and generous portions. The cozy space provides a great view of the waterfalls, making it a reliable choice for a pleasant dining experience. The pork chop, rainbow trout, and carrot cake are highlighted as amazing dishes, while some guests found the Brussels sprouts disappointing. Guests have enjoyed dining on the lower level, where they can hear the sounds of the falls and see people trekking down to the river, creating a lively and enjoyable atmosphere. The food and service are consistently praised, with servers like Melanie and Marcy receiving special mention for their kindness, patience, and attentiveness. Many visitors celebrate special occasions here, noting that everything from the reservation process to the ambiance and food quality makes for a memorable experience. The environment feels upscale, comparable to a classy restaurant in New York, and the staff often go out of their way to accommodate seating preferences, ensuring guests feel welcomed and appreciated.
Recent guests have enjoyed dishes like filet mignon and pork chops, with one mentioning the delicious creme brulee dessert. The lemon chicken and key lime pie also received positive comments, though some noted the lime aftertaste and less fresh limes. The grilled walleye and lobster bisque are highly recommended, and the "heavenly biscuits" remain a popular treat. The firecracker shrimp appetizer was enjoyed, though some found its quantity smaller than in previous visits. Visitors also mentioned that the restaurant could improve by paying more attention to cleanliness, especially in the restrooms. Overall, 17 River Grille continues to be a top choice for its excellent food, friendly service, and beautiful views, even though some feel that the value for the prices paid could be better. Guests have also noted that their experience can vary, with attentive servers like Heidi making a difference, and that acknowledging celebrations or special occasions would enhance the overall experience.
