The steaks were outstanding, as was the rest of the food. Service was very good. Ambience was lacking a bit. No background music. Also, we could hear vacuums or construction noise? Not sure which but it didn't create the best atmosphere. Overall, still one of the best restaurants in the area.

Thank you for the wonderful Anniversary dinner. Our service was fantastic and the food was phenomenal.

We enjoyed the meal. Service was attentive. Started with the oysters (selection of three types)—pricy but very fresh. Ordered the dry aged New York Strip. Perfectly cooked. Enough for two to share if you don't have a big appetite. Regretted ordering the crispy brussels—too much food—but made for good leftovers. Would recommend.

Great service, great food and great drinks. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys fine dining.

Our wait, Mike, took care of our every need. Remarkably, the noise level was quiet--no loud music, which we were thrilled about. The food is delicious, a motivation for going there in the first place, especially the steaks. It was my son's birthday, so a beautiful dessert was offered. All in all, it was a wonderful experience.

My wife's and my second time to dine at 1700 and as before, the meal and service was just outstanding. Great cocktails, incredible wine selection, and our waiter Mark made the night very memorable. 1700 is one of the top restaurants in PA, and if you really want to enjoy it to the max, get a room at the Hilton where the property is located, sure made it easy.

Came here for my birthday yesterday night and it was one of the best decisions. The food and the service was amazing I was by myself i was getting asked questions and conversations that didn't make me feel so alone. The environment was beautiful I will definitely come back!!

Requested a booth - 2 weeks in advance. They did not have one available. They put us in a tight crowded corner. Celebrating a birthday. Very disappointed because i request a booth far in advance. Food was good, but the table situation but put off the whole birthday dinner.

We enjoyed our evening at 1700 but there were a few misses that require mention because of their high end status. First of all they do a great job jamming a sophisticated ambiance into a Hilton Hotel lobby and the server was excellent, professional, friendly, and an expert on everything on the menu. Drinks were well curated and expertly crafted. The wedge salad was a hit, the duck and buratta appetizer sounded amazing but wasn't as flavorful as it could and should have been. The salmon was excellent and as a surprise was set on one of the best crab cakes we have ever tried. Perhaps the biggest disappointment was the ribeye- it was served at the correct temperature and had good flavor but there was gristle throughout- I know there is fat on a ribeye in the nest stakehouses but I didn't get one clean cut out of mine- a high-end establishment can do better. There were plenty of dessert options. We selected to peach cobbler which was served hot and fresh but the peach was lost in an overly sweet and excessively cinnamoned cobbler. Price and value are good for a downtown, capitol city, steakhouse
We were in town for a conference and were looking for somewhere to go for a quick bite. 1700 was perfect - the service was great and the menu was diverse. Will go again when in town.

My steak and my wife's Branzino were both well prepared. Celeriac Soup was excellent. The use of technology for the menu was a nice touch.

The food was delicious as always. They were very busy and appeared to understaffed, which led to delays in our food coming out.  we went on our anniversary night and they comp'ed us a free dessert

This was our fifth visit, as we usually come here for special occasions. We've always had great experiences in the past, but this time started off on the wrong foot. The hostess’s greeting was less than warm, which was disappointing. We were seated tightly between three other couples, and since it was our anniversary, I asked if we could move to a more private spot to enjoy our dinner and actually hear each other talk.
Although there were many open tables, the hostess initially told us everything was reserved. I said we’d wait for something to become available—and surprisingly, a table opened up shortly after. Throughout the night, we noticed very few other guests being seated, which made the situation more frustrating.
When we’re spending $250+ per visit, we expect a better level of customer service, especially on a special occasion. That rocky start aside, the food and overall service were still excellent, as always.
