My boyfriend and I went here for our birthday dinner and chose 17 Noir based on the reviews here on Yelp. It was a short walk from where we were staying (Embassy Suites) which was a huge plus, no paying for parking. The restaurant was hard to find once we got there. You have to walk through a section of stores to Salon Prive, down the hallway where the washrooms are, to a sushi restaurant, then you'll see signs for 17 Noir, you can go up stairs or an elevator. We had a reservation (I don't know if it's neccessary though, when I called I wanted it for 7:30, they said they were booked so I did it for 7. My boyfriend and I went to the washrooms when we left a little after 8 and there were ALOT of empty tables still). The hostess that seated us was great, when we were seated my boyfriend told me he forgot his reading glasses, the hostess overheard and brought him a pair. That's never happened before (and we eat out alot)! Only downfall was that she seated us at a 4 person table (when there were plenty of 2 people tables left) and there was too much room between us, ruins the mood for a romantic dinner. Our waiter was okay, he seemed kind of hesitant while telling us the specials like he was having trouble remembering what they were. We just had water to drink since we're not big wine fans and for appetizer we both had caesar salads which were HUGE, they could of been a meal alone, I had to use a knife to cut the pieces of romaine. I didn't finish mine in fear I wouldn't have room for dinner. We had a bread basket also, bread was hard but nice selection (multigrain raisin bread? Definitely different). For dinner I ordered the 10oz New York strip steak and my boyfriend had the chicken. Now this is what bugged me, you had to order sides seperately for $8 a piece, no sides came with the dinner. We ordered the aparagus to share. It took awhile to receive our dinner and we weren't very impressed. For the type of restaurant it was, my boyfriend expected a boneless skinless chicken breast. It had a bone in it, it was small though, and skin which he hates. My steak was ok, nothing better than what I could get at The Keg. The chicken came with mashed potatoes and vegetables that weren't mentioned on the menu so luckily we didn't order seperate sides. After we were finished, the waiter automatically brought us a dessert menu without asking. We had cake waiting at the hotel for us so we declined when he came back and acted kind of pissed that we didn't order anything. Bill came to $118 and honestly it wasn't worth it. We had a view of part of the casino, not the falls, food wasn't all that great, and service was good at best. read more
