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! read more

17 River Grille - Lemon Parmesan Chicken - American Near Me - Chagrin Falls, Ohio

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. read more

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. read more

17 River Grille - Perfect snack - American Near Me - Chagrin Falls, Ohio

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. read more

Free parking outside the restaurant after 6p so we found a spot right away. I had debated booking a reservation before we headed over but it was wide open so I figured one wasn't needed. Upon check in with the host, she informed us it would be a 30 min wait so we sat at the bar (no wait). French onion and lobster bisque were delish! We paired our soup with a 17 sushi roll - perfect amount of heat and comfort. The staff was great and service was quick. read more

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. read more

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! read more

17 River Grille - Classic Cheeseburger - American Near Me - Chagrin Falls, Ohio

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! read more

The service was great with no delays and refills without asking. The ambience is very nice right alongside the river. The restaurant is clean with many windows for a river view. Food wise I had a cheeseburger with fries and it was just average or acceptable. The fries were not hot enough and a little soggy and the burger was a little dry. It was cooked to my order and did taste ok. Was here for a late lunch so would probably come back to try other dishes at dinner time. Overall, a nice place probably more in line with a 3.5 rating. read more

I've been here at least 10 times thus far. Its the perfect place for brunch, for drinks at the bar, for special occasion dinner, for happy hour! The view is incredible from the outdoor patio, from the lower level and from the dining room. The menu is awesome- delicious cast iron biscuits, lemon parmesan chicken, sushi, short ribs, fish and more! BTW, When you look up the restaurant (address, hours of operation, etc.), highly recommend looking up the menu & prices in advance and not complaining about it after. read more

Fantastic upscale vibe with a hometown feel. Food and drink menus will leave nothing to be desired. Surprised by how good their Fire Sushi was! Although a smaller wine list, it left nothing to be desired. The staff is exceptional read more

17 River Grille - The outside - American Near Me - Chagrin Falls, Ohio

Brunch. Patio with a waterfall and creek view. Good food. Good vibes. It was the perfect start to my Cleveland weekend. We went early (as soon as they opened) hence the seemingly empty restaurant. The upstairs level was more packed but because this was my first time in Cleveland we took in patio vibes. So glad we did! Food was great! Service was great! Ambiance was great!!! The burger wasn't special but it was a really good burger. The chicken dish was good and had a lemon caper taste to it. I'd recommend getting a side as it does not come with a side outside of the salad. The decor was wonderful and sitting out near the waterfall was great. After brunch (if it's not raining) you can go explore more businesses as it is a walkable area with other small and locally owned businesses in the area. Because it was raining, we left after brunch. Also, it is paid parking (meter) so keep that in mind. Overall great experience. Definitely check this spot out! read more

We came here for my mom's birthday and we had a good experience. Our service was very nice and the food was good. The whipped potatoes are heavenly. The fire cracker shrimp is actually spicy which I appreciated. The French onion soup is not salty or sweet, right in between. The lobster bisque is creamy and had very good flavor. The salads were very good portions. You have to get there early for a table with a view. It's nice to take a walk after dinner to see the waterfalls. read more

17 River Grille - Roasted Cedar Plank Roasted Atlantic Salmon - American Near Me - Chagrin Falls, Ohio

We had a decent meal there on our wedding anniversary. The food was good and the atmosphere was nice. Friendly service. Just one question- when booking our reservation with OpenTable there was an optional prompt for "select an occasion" which I flagged as an anniversary. Does the restaurant even look at that because I thought maybe they might have a dessert or drink special, but... crickets. No "congrats" or anything. read more

Excellent place! This establishment is swanky, clean and has a great vibe! Plenty of service to be sure your needs are met! Ask for Tyler! He was a great server! Food is very good and a unique variety! Even in the winter it was cozy and classy inside! Can't wait to go again in the summer to see the falls! read more

Beautiful place, excellent service, and food was amazing! My sister moved to Ohio a few months ago and we visited her for her bday this past week. She picked me up from the airport and went here for lunch. I heard that this place gets busy especially during the weekend and lucky for me, we came on a Wednesday afternoon. We were sat by the window with the perfect view of the falls. So glad my sister lives in Ohio because this place is a gem and I'll be able to come back here every time I'm in town. read more

Imani was the BEST server. Firecracker shrimp: 7.8/10 (nice kick!) Hummus: 9.5/10 Pork chop: 8.5/10 (sauce was fabulous! Mashed potatoes immaculate & pork cut like butter) Burger: 8/10 (fries could be more seasoned) Beautiful ambience & service every time we come here! read more

I like this place a lot as the ambiance is wonderful. I think the food is good and I have a lot from the menu . The issue for me is a limited selection. Not enough menu categories and not deep in the menu categories. But a happening place with very good food and definitely worth a visit read more

We took my daughter for her 13th birthday to this restaurant. She is a fan of their brunch, specifically the chicken and waffles. However, upon arrival our assigned table and section was infested with flies. We were told by the waitress, the manager stated there is nothing they can do about it. We would of left, but I knew it would ruin my daughter's birthday wish to eat there. So we endured the flies, ate with one hand and kept the other hand free to swipe the flies away from landing on our food. read more

Great ambiance and service. The view of the waterfall while dining is such a nice treat. The staff was very friendly and attentive. They also have a good selection of alcohol free drinks which I really enjoyed. We didn't see a separate kids menu so please check if going there with kids. read more

17 River Grille - The 17 Burger - American Near Me - Chagrin Falls, Ohio

My wife, daughter and I ate here March 2026. We had a reservation and were fortunate enough to get a table with a great view of the falls. The food was excellent. All the meals came out very hot. My daughter had the short rib. The meat was very tender and flavorful. My wife had a pork chop. The chop was thick, tender, juicy and came with a wonderful sauce. I had the chicken pot pie which I thought was fantastic. The service was good. It was relatively quiet and quite upscale. There is valet parking within a few yards at a very reasonable rate. We definitely will be coming back. read more

Make sure to request seats overlooking the waterfall because it's beautiful. Our waitress was so nice and the came out very fast. The food was incredible, my father in law said it was the best French onion soup he'd ever had. read more

There is never a bad time to go to this restaurant. It's beautiful and absolutely every season especially summer and winter. The downstairs which many people don't know about is super cozy with fireplaces and great for the winter time. There's also a small party area the upstairs is surrounded by windows That overlooks the falls. The outside patio is pretty. The food is excellent. The wine is great. We have always sat at the bar and it's hit or miss on the service. read more

5/5 peach salad (best thing we had here, love the combination of the nuts and peach and cheese) 4/5 firecracker shrimp (taste is delicious and spicy but I do wish it was crispy and not soft from the sauce) 1/5 crab cake (not a fan, texture was too mushy and the crab flavor didn't shine) 3/5 service. Server was friendly but didn't seem engaged. Just said the appropriate words. 5/5 cocktails. Loved that they were strong yet flavorful read more

1st timers for Saturday lunch - food was good - our waitress Alexis was what made our experience amazing! Will say the stained chair cushions were a big turn off read more

Starting off by saying service was cool. Very laid back and independent style dining. The restaurant was pretty and laid out interesting. We sat in the middle booth and faced another table which was kinda awkward. I got a cocktail that was very strong which is nice. The food was subpar honestly you are more paying for the view and location rather than high quality food. It came out quick but the fries were cold and the salad was touching the fries and meat which is not ideal. Overall not too bad but we didn't feel it was worth the $100 check. read more

Absolutely adore this place! Love the vibes, everything it so nicely put together, staff is very friendly, and check out these seats!! It is kind of a bummer you cannot reserve a seat by the water/window, but first come first serve totally worked out for us. This place gets busy so I would recommend getting a reservation, but honestly the staff does great getting walk-ins seated as quickly as possible. The salmon was amazing, firecracker shrimp was crispy with great flavor but the French onion soup is out of this world and the real showstopper is that lemon chicken. Order it! I don't love their fries or coleslaw, but the waitress easily allowed me to sub whatever I wanted, which was great. I'll for sure be back frequently! read more

Great evening at 17 River Grille in Chagrin Falls. The food was delicious, view spectacular but what made the evening so very special was the kind and attentive service provided by our server, Imani S. She was a true delight. Highly recommend this place on the river. read more

Lovely location overlooking the Chagrin River. Had the highly recommended French Onion soup - delicious with lots of cheese - and their signature cast-iron tray with five tasty biscuits & honey butter. Delightful service. Looks like the patio area would be a nice spot to enjoy, too. Classy restrooms, too. read more

I definitely agree with other reviews that it takes a while to get in here. I had a reservation and it still took over an hour to get sat. I really like the ambience instead. The view from outside is beautiful. However it's not maintained as well as other outside patios I have dined on. Looking above your head there are spiders everywhere. We came for a special occasion which was on our reservation. However; it was never mentioned. I would definitely not choose to celebrate anything here as they do not seem to acknowledge celebrations as many restaurants do. As for the food it was decent. I had Salmon with Mac n Cheese. My husband had a burger which he thought was ok. He would have preferred a burger that was medium rare, these were smaller patties and not cooked to order. My salmon was overcooked but I didn't send it back because we were starving. The Macaroni was delicious and creamy and al dente. read more

First off, there is valet parking for $5 which is a life saver. 2) the place is so beautiful and chic on the inside. We were sat in the patio and that was also an adorable picture opportunity and vibe. We were able to hear the waterfall! The staff were so kind and knowledgeable about the menu. We loved the food that we got, the quality was unmatched. My only complaint is that I wish the menu was a little bigger but it was overall a great experience. (Also get the lemon Parmesan chicken and French onion soup!) read more

We were in chagrin for one evening; picked this place for their happy hour menu. Had two great gin drinks, one from the HH menu and one was a mocktail that the bartender recommended I try with gin. We ate the biscuits and the potstickers- both amazing. We tried the sushi too and it was okay, not as good as the other dishes. Loved the atmosphere at the bar here. Would definitely come again. read more

Walleye and trout were awesome!!! Highly recommend either of those options. Nashville hot on the other hand was not a typical flavor and not to my liking but was to my husband. It's dry peppery instead of saucy or buffalo spicy. Chicken is good although quite a bit of batter too. And lastly that bun is bad. Looks good, tastes bad. Also our service was not great this time around but it was a good table and the fish really made up for it. read more
