    Filet Mignon
    Joel E.

    First time here. Tried to make last a minute dinner reservation for 6 on Thursday night, but they had no tables. They suggested that if we're willing to dine late, walk-ins are welcome after 8:30PM. So we arrived at 8:30 sharp and were seated immediately at a table with a very nice view overlooking the falls. The food: I started off with a lobster bisque. Exquisite! Just the perfect consistency, creaminess, flavor, with generous chunks of lobster meat. My main course was filet mignon. I asked for medium-rare. It came a little closer to medium, but I'm not complaining. It was tender and juicy, topped with crispy onion straws, and served with mashed potatoes (very good!), broccoli, For dessert, our table shared carrot cake, key lime pie, and a "post-mortem" chocolate cake with coffee ice cream. All were great!!

    We returned for a second time to 17 River Grill. Again views were outstanding staff was very friendly and of course the food was just as good. My wife had salmon on a cedar plank and absolutely loved it. I got the walleye and it was very good. The food was very fresh, hot and seasoned perfectly. We will definitely return again.

    Great location with great food and great service. You can sit indoors or outside with a great view of the falls. Make sure you make have a reservation or you can sit at the bar. If you don't order the heavenly biscuits you're missing out. The short rib pot stickers are small but taste really good. The lemon chicken is a staple and so good. The Caesar salad was good, but I prefer a mayo based or thicker dressing.

    Perfect snack

    It's a beautiful sunny day in Chagrin Falls. A perfect day to sit in "17 River" and enjoy a view of the falls. We made an impromptu stop during a stroll through town just to have a glass of wine and small lunch. We enjoyed a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and shared an order of Deviled Eggs. I had a Heart of Palm salad and my wife enjoyed the Lobster Bisque. Everything was excellent. Sarah, or server was very friendly and efficient. She did an excellent job. The falls and river were beautiful. It was a wonderful outing. We're looking forward to visiting again soon.

    Lemon Parmesan Chicken
    Morgan S.

    Visited today for lunch, and it was a great experience! The atmosphere inside is very beautiful and lively. The restaurant was well lit and very clean. We sat near the bar because we weren't the only ones craving lemon parmesan chicken, the place was packed! Service was speed and our server was attentive and polite. The chicken had a delicious creamy lemon sauce that also dressed the arugula salad. The chicken cutlets were perfectly crisp. This dish was perfect for lunch!

    4'26 - Heavenly Biscuits bread, delicious

    We started off with the spinach and artichoke dip. The top cheese layer was ~1/3 inch thick and to hard to eat. I also had the French onion soup, which must've been made by the same cook because the cheese was so thick and hard I couldn't get to the broth. I even tried to use a knife and it didn't work. I gave three stars because I'm sure there were other items on the menu I would've been happy with. Unfortunately the items I ordered I wouldn't order again.

    Full shot of desserts and coffee
    Katie B.

    Granted we didn't have dinner, this seems like a place where you're paying for ambience and service, not necessarily quality of food. We ended our night here with dessert and coffee and for a highly rated restaurant, desserts typically reflect your food quality and we were disappointed. The crème brûlée had heaps of sugar almost like they forgot to finish the toasting process. The brownie dessert I had was no different than a Dairy Queen Sunday. Bland flavor, cold brownie yet weirdly in a cast iron skillet, but the fudge made it better. Sitting by the windows is the spot to be and the waterfall is gorgeous. Our server was very sweet and highly trained.

    Update: my husband and I had lunch here and it was also delicious. I got the fish and chips and he got the shepherds pie. The heavenly biscuits were amazing. Service was great as usual, and we were seated in a corner with windows and a beautiful view of the waterfall.

    Cedar Plank Roasted Atlantic Salmon
    Karen L.

    Salmon was really good! We ordered some apps and dessert as well. Our waitress was really nice and attentive and there wasn't a long wait for food. Outdoor patio has good views as well for nice weather days.

    Classic Cheeseburger
    Mark E.

    We did a lunch date and wanted to enjoy being outside on this warm fall day. It wasn't busy, seated right away on the side patio. Ordered the cheeseburger, medium with fries. EVERYTHING was delicious! The burger was perfectly cooked and the fries were cooked just right. The service is always great at this restaurant. Though it wasn't my first choice today, it will be on top of my list in the future!

    Thai steak noodle salad
    Jacqueline P.

    Where do you go when you want a perfect patio with a backdrop of the Falls? Here!!! This Thai Steak Noodle salad did not disappoint! It boasted so many flavors and textures, it passed hitting the mark! But even better than the food was the most charming and attentive server, Angiolina! She notified us of any delays, apologized for nothing within her control and was just a pleasure. I am highlighting her because we are regulars at all of the Doody family restaurants and although our favs are Cedar Creek Grille, Bar Italia and Jojo's, I would return time and time again to 17 River for sweet Angiolina! Keep up the incredible devotion to keeping it real and a real experience!

    Coleslaw

    I thoroughly enjoyed my coleslaw. It really satisfied my blooming taste buds. Very creamy and succulent.

    Steak of course

    If you're looking for that special place to take someone special to... well, look no further than- great drinks, wonderful menu and a view to die for!! Servers were stellar too!

    Came in for Christmas Eve dinner and had a great experience! Very small and intimate vibe and our…read moreserver was very attentive and helpful as well. Started off with bread that came with a great garlic butter. Wish the bread had come out warm but it was good. I had a Caesar salad with shrimp for dinner which was great, filling but still light and the shrimp were fantastic, nice and big and very flavorful. We also ordered Brussels sprouts, fries and "onion rings" for the table. The Brussels were fantastic, probably my best bite of the night. I also really loved the fries, they had the perfect amount of salt which I always appreciate. The onions rings were very good, but I would call them more of onion straws so just be sure you know what you're getting if you grab those. Others at my table enjoyed the burger a lot, as well as the shrimp pasta. A lovely holiday experience overall!

    Tonight was another Saturday night date night. But this was a special one. My wife just retired and…read morethis was our retirement celebration night out. So she chose the Christmas lights of Chagrin Falls and "Odd Fellows Restaurant" which looks out on the Gazebo and all the lights of the square. We arrived at the restaurant and immediately were seated at a comfortable table in the center of the room by a very professional young woman. Very shortly after, the sweetest, most bubbly young lady greeted us and introduced herself as Bianca, our server for the evening. I can't say enough about Bianca. She was absolutely extraordinary. Friendly is an understatement. She had a beautiful smile that never left her face. She was so personable you could not help but feel comfortable in her care for the evening. Throughout the 2+ hours we were in her hands she just kept getting more impressive. If you decide to give "Odd Fellows" a try you would be doing yourself a great service by requesting her as your server for the evening when you make your reservation. Our initial order included refreshing drinks from the bar along with great crusty bread and excellent "Roasted red pepper soup". Very nicely done. We followed that with our entrees. I ordered the "Sesame Tuna" which was very nicely prepared. My wife and sister-in-law had the "Walleye" and they loved it. My brother enjoyed the "Shrimp Bucatini". I must say the kitchen did an exemplary job all evening... Kudos to the entire kitchen staff. We followed dinner with excellent coffee and very nicely presented desserts. A marvelous finish to a marvelous evening at "Odd Fellows". I give them my highest recommendation and encourage you to give them a try. Don't forget to request Bianca -- she is the cherry on top.

The space is dark and cozy and you'll forget all about the CVS outside by the time you sit down. The menu offers a nice variety of small plates, salads, sandwiches, entrees and pizzas. There are also cocktails, wine and a small but sufficient selection of beers on tap. The prices feel a couple dollars higher than you'd want them to be ($18 for a smash burger or a 12-inch pizza) but are comparable with similar restaurants in the area. My parents and I split the Medjool dates starter, Crunchy Greens salad and a mushroom pizza and all were very good and enough for all of us to enjoy (sorry, forgot to take pics). We drove this way after cross country skiing at Punderson State Park, and I can imagine us going back after our next outing there. Do recommend if you're in the area.

Good vibe for a Friday night and the way it is decorated is done pretty well. Once we were seated we ordered and were served quickly. We got the shrimp appetizer to start.

I got the Philly cheesesteak with sweet potato waffle fries and my brother for the morning after burger with French fries. We both enjoyed our choices.

    ZERO STARS - Don't Waste Your Time or Money!…read more This restaurant used to be decent, but my experience today was completely unacceptable. I ordered two grilled patty melts and received burgers served on soft wheat bread instead of rye. The bread wasn't even grilled, and the sandwiches had cheddar cheese instead of Swiss cheese. The entire order was prepared incorrectly. I called the restaurant to let them know about the mistake, and I was shocked by the response. The owner--not a manager--told me there was nothing she would do and that I needed to file a complaint with DoorDash. DoorDash didn't prepare the food; the restaurant did. What disappointed me most wasn't the mistake itself, but the complete lack of accountability and customer service. Errors happen, but refusing to address them is unacceptable. I am extremely disappointed with this establishment and will never eat here again. The owner's attitude has completely ruined what was once a decent restaurant.
