    We ate outside and it was very pleasant. Carrie was a wonderful server, very knowledgeable and professional. Her wine recommendation was perfect for the grouper. We also had the tempura shrimp special, and flounder entree. Lemon tart for dessert was the chef’s kiss. (The Manhattans and Margaritas were also superb!) Great restaurant and super friendly staff.

    Always a wonderful experience at Bistro 217. We were with friends this time, having lunch. Started with crab nachos and the crab cakes- both were fabulous! Lunch entrees were the Szechuan noodles with pork, the wedge salad and fish tacos (with chicken instead of fish). All were delicious and prepared beautifully. Great service and sitting on the patio in beautiful SC weather was a lovely experience.

    Everything was wonderful. We had a great time. We were in the outside area which was quite noisy and hard to have a conversation. Food was great. Staff was wonderful. One of our favorite places.

    We enjoyed a nice bottle of Cites Du Rhône wine and shared 12 ounce steak with mashed potatoes and okra! It was fantastic!

    First time dining and looking forward to returning. Restaurant was busy so make sure you get reservations on OpenTable. A lot of good wine, beer, and mixed drink options. Many good seafood options that are served different than anywhere else. The pan seared flounder with Cajun crawfish sauce was amazing. The grilled chicken orzo was the perfect summer dish. Perfectly cooked chicken with a crisp vegetable, orzo, and feta mixture.
