    We were seated right by the kitchen door which slammed open and closed every minute or so. It was loud anyway and hearing all the chatter in the kitchen made it even worse. Completely ungracious experience. So not worth the price of the food which just wasn’t that good.

    The food and service continue to be amazing. The menu is varied and offers choices for all diners. Our server was wonderful as she didn't even need to ask if we wanted separate checks or not. She just knows her people. I appreciate that if you ask for it, you can order from the bar menu. Flexible thinking for your diners.

    The new decor is lovely and makes the space seem larger. Annie was our server and does a great job of anticipating our needs. The tomato bisque is a favorite. We 3 shared the fried okra, it was hot and crispy with a buffalo wings type dip. We would love to see the return of the tuna salad and the Hawaiian salad but were very happy with our choices. The gyro is especially delicious. The best place in town for lunch!

    Bistro 217 has long been our go to choice for everything from a standing Friday Girls Lunch Out, a quick bite at one of the 2 bars or a place to gather and celebrate an occasion. They have always had the best service and team in the area. The food has always been consistently at the level you would expect. The only thing that could use improvement was the decor. Well, that all changed this most week. After a brief few days of closing for beautification they opened to reveal their mini remodel. Now their decor is just as awesome as their food and exceptional service. Bravo!
