    Food took over an hour to arrive, they were also out of one dish we came there for. The beef portion was very small as well. Will not be going back again.

    Fabulous birthday celebration at Bistro 17!  The staff created a memorable evening from the setting, to the menu, to the live piano music.

    Very French! Live piano music. We love this place. Classic French menu from steak frites to muscles to escargot.

    Crabcake Sandwich
    Jeff R.

    Stopped by for a quick lunch and was pleasantly surprised. Cute atmosphere outside and service was good. We got the crab cake sandwich and tuna melt with fries. Crab cake was great on the croissant. Tuna melt was perfect size and French fries were on point. Definitely will try it again for dinner.

    Worth driving 90 minutes each way, just to enjoy the charms that Bistro 17 has to offer. Superior table service and Chef's incredible food make for a memorable experience. Fine dining experience without the fine dining price tag. Highly recommend.

    Duck Confit

    My husband and I had a wonderful experience at Bistro 17. We had the escargots, scallops, duck confit, and lamb chops. All were very delicious. Our server Kristina was fantastic. The best meal we had on HHI.

    Pate has no flavor as well as the chicken. Beef Borgoignon was okay. Lamb was very good

The staff continues to impress--attentive, warm, and they actually remembered us, which made the experience feel even more special. We even saw the young gentleman from Croatia again who had taken care of us on a previous visit--he was just as pleasant and even stopped by our table to say hello, which was such a nice touch. We dined later in the evening this time, and it was really special to see the staff, managers, and I believe even the owner all still there together. It felt less like coworkers and more like a family--which says a lot about a place. Food-wise, everything held up to our first visit (which is rare!). I couldn't resist and ordered the beef bourguignon again--still absolutely incredible. We also had escargot (note: it comes with béchamel unless you ask otherwise), and that amazing cassoulet loaded with different meats from the evening--it was spectacular. Safe to say this place is officially our favorite on the island... and yes, I'm still tempted to keep it a secret .

Their steak prices have gone up a bit, but the quality matches the price. I started with the French onion soup, a must. It's a hearty portion it a nice size crock. For the entree I had the steak frites + truffle fries. The filet was one of the best I've had in a while. It was a nice, thick cut. Prepared perfectly with a nice sear on the outside. The fresh cut fries were delish. Restaurants come and go in Savannah, but Circa 1875 is a staple!

I definitely do not regret our decision as we had a great meal. The interior ambiance of the restaurant truly transports to another place, it is truly beautiful. Our server was so gentle and gave us many recommendations on things to try and even accommodated some of requests. We started with the Espresso Martini and non-alcoholic French 75 (my first time) and these were both great. For appetizers, we had the crab croquettes (cakes), escargots and caesar salad. Everything was delicious (including the complimentary bread) , and to our surprise the Caesar salad had a nice crunch with the addition of fried frog leg pieces (if I'm not mistaken). The main entrees were the stars of the night, while we were originally inclined to try their Steak & Frites, our server recommended the steak tips sautéed over mushroom sauce with pasta and this was the perfect match instead of the classical French fries pairing. We also had the Supreme Roasted Chicken with caramelized veggies and everything was cooked to perfection. We did not leave without dessert and tried their Créme Brûlée, and while it was runnier than usual, the flavor was there. We thought it needed more time. Overall a great experience while in Savannah!

We dined at night, when the patio glowed with lights, heaters, and long tables that felt instantly charming and warm. Inside, I loved the window at the end of the house looking straight into the kitchen. It felt like a front row seat at *The Bear*. The handwritten menu was a beautiful, elevated touch. The food was excellent. The burrata was the best I've had in ages, perfectly balanced with fresh, elegant flavors. The peppers with anchovies delivered a bolder, more dissonant note, but it worked beautifully. The bread was wonderful, the pork schnitzel hearty and satisfying, and my favorite dish was the snapper. Perfectly prepared, it came with a creamy but light sauce over a bed of onions. My only critique was the non alcoholic wine. The options tasted more like juice, and alcohol free wine can absolutely be refined and complex. These were not. Service? Yes. Yes. Yes. Warm, attentive, and genuinely gracious. I felt like a special visitor. Thank you.
