Super neat location in downtown New Bremen. I believe it was an old Hotel. Service was prompt and professional. Food was delicious! Will definitely go back next time we visit Minster read more

Owned by Crown, this is one wonderful place to dine! It's on the order of Silas, Coldwater Cafe and Salar. Exceptionally good! We had: Pork wontons with an Asian dipping sauce. Very different, very good! Yellowfin tuna sandwich. Thick slice of tuna, Broccoli slaw, tropical rum sauce. Off-the-charts! Langostino, pea risotto. An excellent perfectly prepared risotto, langistino, peas and Parmesan cheese. Just delicious! Lemon blueberry tart. What a way to finish the meal! A lemon tart with blueberry sauce and a honey brittle. Wow! We loved it all! As Arnold said, 'I'll be back!' read more

This spot can't be beat. Really, it's first class all around, from the service to the ambiance and the food. This is a great great find. It's in an old hotel and has been restored and is perfect. Great for a date lunch or night, a special event or bringing visitors from out of town. It's even worth the hour drive from Dayton for a visit. Actually can you come open a 17 West in Dayton please? The nachos, soup and fries were excellent. It has a great menu and you won't be disappointed with all the goodness 17 West offers. read more

Beautiful restaurant w art work all over. Food was very good. We had chicken salads and French fries. The waitress was wonderful.

I recently had the good fortune to visit 17 West in the downtown area of New Bremen. Though my companion and I weren't very hungry, we opted to have a black bramble London mule and a raspberry lemon drop to start. These cocktails were fantastic. In fact, despite loving the raspberry lemon drop, both my partner and I really loved the black bramble mule! We decided to order the spinach artichoke dip appetizer to split since we weren't very hungry. Though it's generally difficult to make a bad spinach artichoke dip, this one was a step above most! It was flavorful and had a nice garlic aftertaste. The crusty bread provided with it was the perfect vehicle to get the dip into our mouths. Though we weren't interested in an entree, we did choose to share the chocolate cobbler with black raspberry ice cream and, let me tell you, it was phenomenal. In fact, it made me sad that we don't live in New Bremen because, if we did, we would be stopping by for this dessert regularly! The "cobbler" was more of a moist chocolate cake and it was perfectly complimented by the raspberry ice cream. In fact, unless you really don't like raspberries, this is the ice cream to choose (you can choose chocolate or vanilla, too)! Service was excellent. We didn't have to wonder when our drinks would be filled because our server, Darion, was very attentive. The atmosphere of the restaurant was high-end but accessible to most clientele. We are very happy that we had the chance to experience some of what 17 West has to offer to locals and visitors alike! read more

We hit the happy hour on Friday night on some great draft beers. The entrees were superb and the service was 5stars as well. Loved the location in beautiful New Bremen, Ohio along the lake-to-river canal. Lock One Theatre was across the street and very accessible for us. read more

Food was great. Friendly service. Clean restaurant. Will definitely return next time in town.

The April Specials are awesome. Fish and Chips, Pimento Grilled Cheese and Shrimp Scampi

I went to 17 West to have lunch with some business associates. This place is fantastic! From the ambiance to the service to the food it was perfect. We all had the roasted red pepper and Gouda soup for a starter. That alone was worth my hour drive North. The burgers and everything else ordered was fantastic and everyone was happy. I'm planning to bring my wife back up here for dinner one night. read more

This place is perfect for a nice dinner. The bread starter with whipped butter was amazing. I could have filled up on all the bread and butter. I did a cup of roasted red pepper and smoked Gouda soup, the lump crab meat was a delicious addition. I order a half size of the 17 West signature salad, the size was perfect, but the flavor was amazing and I wish I order a full serving. My friend ordered the vegetable stir fry, she was very pleased and happy for a vegan option. The staff was all pleasant and very kind. read more

Ordered the New York Strip, Salad, Baked Potato, Cajun Corn, and got an Old Fashioned. Food was incredible and the flavors were worth savoring with every bite. I wanted to stay in that moment for longer than was possible. Service was lightning fast and was very accommodating. Bartender was always checking in on me which I appreciated. Comfortable and cozy environment too. Definitely recommend. P.S. The bartender was Connie. She ruled. Thanks, Connie! read more

Have never been to New Bremen. Stopped in for late lunch on a weekday. Food was AMAZING, Bread was AMAZING, service was AMAZING.... And best of all....prices were AMAZING! I felt a little under dressed as I had just come from fishing lol. This place was AWESOME! Definitely going back! Thank you Billie Jo for wonderful service :) read more

Undercooked my hamburger. Sent it back, got another undercooked hamburger. Food is too expensive to get it wrong.

I swear they make a lot of their food in house. The flavors are unmatched. Great veer selection as well. They are fast to seat you I never have to wait. read more

I have to admit-- I had kinda stuck my nose up at this place prior to us going (which never ends up working out well for me). I am from Cleveland and have lived in Columbus for 13 years. I live right on off of High St in downtown by all of the Cameron Mitchell restaurants. So when my boyfriend (who is originally from New Bremen) told me about going to dinner with his family at 17 West, I didn't think the restaurants in such a small town would be nearly as good as what I'm used to. Boy was I wrong! For starters, I could tell I'd like this place when I reviewed the wine list. Mondavi, Hall, Stag's Leap, Silver Oak. Those are some winners right there. I knew this place had it goin' on! I also noticed that there were so many options on the dinner menu that I'd be interested in. We decided to get a few bottles of wine (I only drank the Mondavi Woodbridge Cab) and order the spinach & artichoke and strawberry bruschetta appetizers. I really enjoyed the wine, which I knew I would. But I was blown away by these appetizers. They were SO good, especially the strawberry bruschetta. I didn't think fruit and bruschetta would even go together, but the taste was delicious! I loved the hearty portion of goat cheese on top, the freshly sliced strawberries, balsamic glaze and the finely chopped mint leaves. It was the perfect combination with excellent flavor. I also loved that this wasn't the type of bruschetta bread that was super hard. It had a little bit of "doughiness" still left to it. I highly recommend this appetizer! I eventually decided on the salmon meal. All entrees come with a side salad and rolls. I appreciated that their roll baskets include many different types of bread. And by the time our salads came out, almost everyone at the table was already full! I did end up eating my entire salmon though and I definitely enjoyed the fish. However, the rice it comes with is kind of a spicy rice. I would have preferred just regular white or brown rice. The caullilini was just ok. I was so full I really only ate the fish! My boyfriend had gotten the sirloin and he asked for it to be cooked medium, but it came out almost burnt with no pink whatsoever. So that made them lose a star (however, I wish I could only dock a half star because overall, this place is 4.5 in my book). All in all, I was very impressed with 17 West. I think they definitely have it going on and if it were located in Columbus, it might be somewhere I'd go more regularly. I will no longer stick up my nose at a restaurant regardless of where it is located! Would love to come back sometime.... read more

Pork chops were thick and served me more than one meal. The mashed potatoes are real and not instant.

My husband and I frequent this restaurant. We love the ambiance, the bartenders and staff. The cocktails are expertly crafted. The food is generally very good, although can be a somewhat inconsistent at times. You cannot go wrong with the salmon, scallops (the size of vanilla wafers) and steaks. The Roasted Red Pepper Gouda Soup is a must try. We tried the Burger ONCE and would have traded it for a McD's quarter pounder in a NY second. It was absolutely bland, no flavor...even a bunch of condiments couldn't save it. (hope they are working on that). read more

I had the BLT Crabcake and it was amazing! Highly recommend. Great service. Unexpected ambiance of sophistication in a small town.

My meal here was totally solid. Simple, straightforward and not to fussy. I had a grilled chicken with a lime flavoring, mashed potatoes and I subbed out Brussels sprouts for asparagus. Went with the starter salad as well--again, basic and good. The one down side was the water, even with 3 lemons juiced into it, it was not good. Not their fault though. Also, since I was alone, I got seated at this sorta sad 2 top tucked away at the back of the restaurant which didn't feel great, with people in a booth right behind me. And the place was empty when I got there. I suppose if I'd been more with it, I would have figured out that I could have sat at the bar. Oh well. Nice staff. read more

Awesome awesome awesome! The look, the people and the food is all terrific. This is worth the drive from wherever you are. I loved everything about it. The only problem is they need a water filter. The water on tap is horrible. But this is a top 2% restaurant!!! Don't let bad water deter you, just order bottled water/San Pellegrino and have a perfect meal. Literally this is a world class restaurant!!! read more

17 West - Great wines. - New American Near Me - New Bremen, Ohio

Nice place to have a special meal and/or a great drink. The service is always great, and the food delicious.

This is the second time that we've been to 17 W. for dinner. Although it is kind of a pricey restaurant, the food is absolutely excellent and they give you plenty of it! It has a good atmosphere to the restaurant, and the staff are all friendly. The barmaids seemed to know everybody by first name so I assume they have a lot of regulars in the bar area. My husband ordered the lamb chops this time which he really enjoyed. I ordered the bone-in ribeye, which was excellent. We will definitely go back again when we are in that area. read more

My wife and I stopped here on our way from San Diego to St. Henry. We were both immediately impressed with the menu and ambiance of the restaurant. For drinks we ordered an electric lemonade cocktail and a local craft bock beer from Moeller Beer Barn. For appetizer we had the goat cheese, strawberry, mint bruschetta with balsamic reduction on gluten-free french bread, which was amazing. The acidity of the balsamic paired well with the sweetness of the strawberry and creaminess of the goat cheese. For lunch we had the grilled chicken with cilantro lime sauce, roasted carrots, and jasmine rice. The second lunch was the grilled salmon in a sweet chili glaze, also with the same sides. Both the chicken and salmon were cooked to perfection. They were tender, juicy, and delicious. The head chef was extremely professional and courteous. He informed us that they change up the menu every three months based upon the season. They utilize local produce and fly in fresh seafood daily. This is a little gem in the middle of midwest Ohio. We highly recommend. read more

Such a cool bar. Great food and reasonably priced. Salads are magnificent. Crab cakes are delicious too. I love this place!

So this has been our 4th visit since September, 17 West continues to raise the bar each time. A colleague from India is visiting so we had to let her taste the best of what the area offers. Her lamb chop meal was a hit, a hearty potion that was visually appealing and as tasty as can be. Others enjoyed a great Hamburg meal and splendid.seasonal salad topped with chicken. The ambiance of 17 West never fails to impress, the artwork captivates your attention, seeing something new each time. Would have like to enjoy the music playing, but we had time constraints. The service is always friendly, gracious and professional. We were fortunate enough to spend the evening with Amanda, who again made us feel so special....topping off with a suggestion to try the carrot cake, which I'm enjoying as I write. Great suggestion! Thanks, See you again soon! read more

Wonderful experience. The staff was very friendly. Food was visually pleasing, prepared and presented exquisitely, and the atmosphere was impeccable. Soft jazz playing the background, casual dress, but the food was top notch. Absolutely recommend 17 West wholeheartedly!! read more

Had lunch there before going to the bicycle museum (in the same building). Beautiful restaurant, delicious food. The roasted red pepper and smoked Gouda soup was amazing, and the bread and salads were also great. Our server was prompt, friendly, and unobtrusive. If we lived in New Bremen we would be regulars! read more

Great experiences here in the past. However, our most recent visit here will be our last, even though the food is decent. We checked in for our dinner reservation a few minutes early, and the woman running the desk was unfriendly, appeared irritated, didn't really acknowledge us except to ask our name, and then only said "yep" when she verified our spot. It was quite uncomfortable. She directed a young lady where to seat us, which we found is arguably the least desirable table in the establishment: a high-top for two, at the top of the steps bar-side, pushed up against a massive cold window (15 degrees outside), a few feet from the bar itself in a high traffic area, and where cold air would rush in and hit us every time the entrance/exit door opened. (More suitable for a quick lunch, or even overflow for someone without reservations if all other tables are full.) The hostess put menus down and quickly walked away before we could inquire about a different table, so we decided to deal with it and order. That was our mistake, as we noticed several tables remained empty throughout our dinner. 5 minutes later, our waitress finally came to get our drink order, quickly brought our waters and tea and took our food orders. Several minutes after, she brought our salads, then asked as an afterthought if we wanted bread brought out. We told her yes we did, and she said she'd bring it right out. Within minutes into eating our salads, our hot entrees were brought to the table by a kitchen runner. Waitress came by shortly after (without bread, she never brought it) and commented with surprise at how fast our food came out, to which we agreed it was too fast. Husband then had to ask for more water at that point, since none was offered, and she brought a carafe, overfilled his glass spilling ice on the table, said "oops, sorry" and walked away. Came back again to take salad plates. About ten minutes later, asked if we were finished with our empty dinner plates, put our check on the table without even telling us it was there and cleared plates. Didn't ask if we wanted dessert (we did!) or if we needed anything else. At that point, the evening was pretty much ruined. The same woman who checked us in, walked by, noticed our bill with a credit card sticking out, and took it off the table saying she'd give it to our server. Server came back a few minutes later, dropped it back on the table with a curt "have a good night" as she was turning and walking away. Our entire dinner service was so rushed, we were finished eating within 30-35 minutes of being seated. And our bill (and tip) was less than half of what we'd normally order and spend, since we didn't order appetizers due to poor seating and weren't even given the opportunity for dessert before our bill was plopped on the table. read more

Comparatively costly than most restaurants near by. But quality of food is good. Only one vegetarian dish around the year. Update their menu every quarter. read more

for an upscale restaurant charging this much, the food and service has just got to be better. if your charging $54 dollars for a filet it needs to be prepared right, lacked taste and wasn't prepared to order, you don't wanna send it back when it took a hour after appetizers to get to you. also many items forgotten. my wife's salad never came with the others and we had to ask about it after 30 minute from when we received ours, they forgot sides and also drinks..... if you want to be and upscale restaurant this must get better, I can get better service a at the local diner read more

We tried this place for lunch after a visit to the bicycle museum next door (surprisingly really interesting!), and were delighted by the food & service. Our waitress, Bobby Jo, was a stitch, and kept us laughing. I had the roasted red pepper and gouda soup with crab, and it was outstanding! My buffalo chicken salad was very good, too, chicken was tender and nicely seasoned. My husband loved his crab cake BLT, crab cake had very little filler. Classy place, beautiful decor, it was really tempting to come back for dinner. We stayed in the area for 4 days, and this by far was the best place to eat. read more

VERY nice balance of good food but relaxing and not too upscale ambiance. Nice germ in the area! I keep going to the same restaurants when I'm in OH for business and 17W will definitely be on my top list. We had a nice table with fairly quick service. We all truly enjoyed our meal, the flavors and effort put into every single dish. We tried the scallops (well cooked, clean and tasty), the lamb rack (pretty big plate!), salmon, chicken..all met expectation! Great job to the team..you made it on my favorite list of tables in the area! Sorry don't have any pictures (was too busy eating!!).
