    4'26 - Heavenly Biscuits bread, delicious
    Nonie B.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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

    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!

    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!

    Cheeseburger platter

    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.

    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.

    We had such a wonderful evening. Food and drinks were delicious. The view of the water is amazing. Right in the heart of Chagrin Falls too.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

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!

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.
