17 at The Sam Houston Hotel-HoustonWonderful Celebration!We celebrated our friends' birthday at 17 and the staff was so attentive! The food was delicious and we enjoyed it very much! It was clear that they had read the special request on our reservation. We'll go back.5/30/2013 12:00:00 AMWhy isn't this restaurant busier?Forget all the hoopla about the Mother's day brunch fiascoes experienced by other diners--whatever! This is a great restaurant and it deserves your patronage (a sentiment echoed in other reviews). On the other hand, the lack of clientele made for a quiet and civilized evening so I am not complaining. Halibut was perfection and the sabayon dessert is an incredible juggling act of warm/cold, sweet/tart, crunchy/creamy.5/21/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food, the service andThe food, the service and the atmosphere were superb.

Overall, a safe/good choice for business people in the area.4/10/2013 12:00:00 AMGood for a dress casual evening outThis was a nice find, and the overall experience is good. The restaurant is open to the foyer of the hotel itself, so *17 isn't wholly in control of its ambiance, but it wasn't too big of a deal. Definitely recommend.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AM
