The service was top shelf. Stephanie made our dining experience pleasant. We had the Calabrian Shrimp Fritto and it ranks as top 2 best appetizers I have ever had. It set the bar high right out of the gate. Dinner we had Wahoo fish, Sausage + Peppers and Spring Raviolis. Amazing! We finished the night with a Road of Vines bourbon drink to finish the night with spectacular views. read more

Restaurant 17 - Restaurant 17 menu - May 17, 2026 - New American Near Me - Travelers Rest, South Carolina

The worst "fine dining" experience ever. Now for the details. Service: We made brunch reservations for our anniversary and the table had a nice happy anniversary sign which was a nice touch. And while customers told us happy anniversary, not once did any of the 3 staff serving us say happy anniversary. That about sums it up. They were acting friendly, but not top notch. Definitely, not to the level needed for a place like this. Food and drinks: We had coffee drinks and both were lukewarm to cool. I couldn't even finish my cappuccino because it was not at all hot. For food, I had shrimp and grits and it was pretty good. My wife, chicken cacciatore and the chicken tasted leftover and one piece had a bone. The pasta was lukewarm and tasted reheated. When we told them, they said they would take off that dish, but no apologies. Instead they asked if we wanted dessert because of the entree issue. Assuming they were being nice, we said yes only to find out they charged us for the dessert. You can't make this stuff up. Attention to detail: While the setting is nice, there is a clear lack of attention to detail everywhere you look. Not telling us happy anniversary, not noticing I barely touched my cappuccino, no hand towels in the women's restroom to dry hands, no one at the hotel front desk or the restaurant front desk, doors to the beautiful patio locked so we had to walk around the building outside to get to this space (which is not a welcoming approach), and the manager brought out our dessert and never apologized. And as mentioned previously, the staff is adequate for an average chain, but not for a boutique hotel and restaurant. Overall, very disappointing, and no surprise it was empty. Much better ways to spend this kind of money with the expectation of excellence and receiving mediocre. We will never stay at the hotel now or recommend the restaurant, and it's a shame because it's a beautiful place. read more

After a year and a half hiatus, I'm back! And this place is better than ever! Went for a pre-valentines date with my wife and the food and ambience did not disappoint. We ate on the patio under a heater and it was really enjoyable at sunset; I'm actually super glad we ate outside because house special was striped bass and the inside smelled strong of fish. The cupids cloud drink was really good but I forgot to take a picture. read more

we went for my Birthday. The food was phenomenal! From the appetizer to the salad to our main dishes. The setting was amazing. Tucked away in the foothills. We went 9/1/2025. Labor Day. They said they were having issues because there was a wedding. I would assume they should be used to that? The hostess NEVER smiled, no warm welcome, she set the tone. We had one delightful girl, who filled our water & brought drinks. our waiter really couldnt be bothered with us. Asked him twice for more bread, he never brought it. I caught the delightful girl and she brought it to us. Our waiter never checked if we needed anything. It's as if nobody wanted to be working there. It definitely took away from the setting & food sadly. read more

This restaurant is in a beautiful spot. It's pricey, but the perfect place to go for a special occasion. The food is very good. We got the Brussel sprout appetizer, and I got the rigatoni for dinner. I have a severe dairy allergy, and they were able to modify both to have no cheese. They also had a vegan cheesecake option for dessert, which I enjoyed. I'd recommend it and would go back. read more

This hidden restaurant is a must when visiting Greenville. It was a quick drive to get to and must make reservations but the views while having brunch were spectacular. Service was incredible- everyone was super nice! The menu had so many tempting choices however we narrowed down and so happy with my choices. The cappuccino was yummy . 10000% recommend this location to anyone. Grab a wine and walk around the area too; views are amazing. read more

We made the trip out to Restaurant 17 this past Saturday expecting to be ordering lunch... and my wife did. She had the Domestique salad (named after the hotel where this restaurant is located) with the soup of the day, which was a Southwestern lentil. I, however, was tempted by the brunch special - eggs benedict with steak and a horseradish hollandaise. We were both wowed! Amy's salad and soup were outstanding. She loves corn and goat cheese, and this salad had plenty of both, with many more tasty ingredients. The lentil soup had a definite chili-like taste with just a perfect amount of heat. My benedict, though, was the absolute star of the show as far as I was concerned! I am a bit of an eggs benedict afficionado - Amy would say "snob" :) - but I order it just about any time I see an interesting version on a menu. This one definitely caught my attention and it was honestly one of the best I've ever had. I can't stand when a poached egg is overcooked - and I've had too many that were. This one, however, was absolute perfection! The steak was tender and flavorful and the sauce was perfect. The dish came with a fantastic roasted root vegetable combo that also went well with the hollandaise. Just a perfect dish! Also can't overlook the cocktails... we tried the Danny DeVino and the Gin Diesel. Despite the kind of corny names, they were terrific. Also, the service and ambiance were top notch. This was a bit of a drive for us from Simpsonville, but well worth it. We'll definitely be back. read more

Incredible meal. Went for a birthday. Started with the stracciatella and beans - such a unique offering. And figs and prosciutto - a loved classic with a fun twist with the Aleppo and some jammy pepper situation. Boyfriend had the duck and I had the casarrecce - both just top notch cooked to perfection and incredibly flavorful. Had their peach semifredo for desert which was beautifully balanced. read more

To start with, this was the most expensive dinner we have ever had (and we dine in California often) so the rating is based on high expectations. The staff was super nice and very friendly. Dinner took 2 hours for the two of us. We had bread as our appetizer ( not free), 2 glasses of wine and 2 beers. I had Duck and a sweet potatoes, the misses had Chicken and asparagus. All in ~ $ 230. The food was "farm fresh", most the vegetables were just under cooked (crunchy sweet potatoes) but that may well be the style for farm fresh. Seasonings were light (we asked for salt ) All of it was tasty but no Michelin stars. The location is out in the woods, no breath taking vistas. For seating you have three choices: inside ( nothing special), porch ( really nice, some covered ), patio ( in the open). Weather permitting, outside is a must for this experience. We have been waiting years to go here, so we'll just mark this as done. For us, there are better choices in area at this price point. I do think it might be a great place to do lunch, outside, when the weather is nice. read more

The Thanksgiving buffet was poorly organized. While the layout was congested, guests had to manipulate plates, open a door to return to their seat. While the food was well prepared, it was cold by the time one returned to their seat. The buffet menu was limited and not listed anywhere prior to approaching the table. Bread was lacking and one choice of salad dressing. My server poured my coffee while I waiting in line for the buffet. Of course, it was lukewarm. Ambience was pleasant. read more

A dear friend and neighbor brought me here to celebrate my 3/4 century birthday. The locale is beautiful; the setting is breathtaking--very Tuscan; the clouds put on an amazing display that day. We chatted up the only other couple on the piazza with us and they were charming. The menu is varied with selections to satisfy every palate. The service is seamless and professional. Neat, clean venue. But the "hold onto your hat" moment came when I asked our delightful server the name of their chef. What a treat for my soul to find out he was one of MY former culinary students!! I knew he was excellent in class all those years ago but had lost touch and had NO idea he had achieved such prominence in his career! Award winning; certified forager and more. And of course I had to go to the kitchen and reunite! Longs hugs; big smiles. A perfect ending to my birthday celebration! read more

I must say we had such an amazing time. The food was incredible, the fish has the perfect combination of flavors and it was satisfying. The lemon sauce was creamy and buttery, the vegetables were perfectly picked for an amazing tastebud experience. The only downside is the lack of desserts, they had 2 dish options but plenty of dessert drinks. The Apple tartlet was hard and perhaps a bit cold for the warm filling. The service was friendly and the waiter helped me pick out the perfect wine pairing. I must say that they have a variety of cocktails and wine selection. I was surprised the waiter could tell me great combinations and explain the dish with so much detail. The atmosphere is cozy but formal. We watched the sun go down and felt comfortable to stay over 2 hours talking. The ambiance is delightful and my husband and I had a successful date night. Thankful for restaurants like these that are sensitive to each special occasion. We had an amazing time from start to finish. read more

Excellent food and service! The staff was welcoming and attentive. Nico our bartender and server made us feel like family. My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary and read wonderful reviews for the food. One of the locals at the Grand Bohemian Greenville recommended it so we went. Everything on the menu is farm to table. The pasta is made in house and delicious. You have to get the Brussel sprout appetizer. My husband ordered the duck and it was perfectly prepared. I ordered the bucatini and it was amazing as well. read more

Had never been here and was really looking forward to checking it out. We got seated behind a post and seems the servers forgot about us. Got one drink within the hour and a half we were there and I have no pictures since we never received any food. Sounds like others had a great experience so we aren't sure what happened but it was a very negative experience. Got seated at our 7:30 reservation and by 8:30 still didn't have our appetizers. Then they came around to say our dinner would be ready in about 20-30 minutes. After that came and went we said goodbye. read more

Went there based on reviews. Truly mediocre food, and phony servers trying to be ritzy. Disappointed.

We just discovered this gem of a restaurant and came back twice in a week. The setting is STUNNING. We requested to sit in the courtyard which overlooks a beautiful fountain with expansive views out to the mountains. The food was PHENOMENAL and the service was 5 Star. We are telling everyone about it and this will be one of our regular stops whenever we are in town. read more

Best service I have ever experienced in a restaurant setting! We ate on the patio/terrace on one of the first cool nights toward the end of summer to celebrate our anniversary.

This place is definitely SC's best kept secret. The service, the food, the drinks, the VIEWS. All were top notch. I was only 30 minutes from Greenville, yet it felt like I was in a complete different country. The architecture is stunning and looks like something you would find in Italy. What I love about this restaurant is that it is connected to Hotel Domestique and it makes a great venue for weddings and events. With the hotel, restaurant, pool, and views, this would be the perfect little weekend getaway spot! Absolutely love everything about this place. read more

Restaurant 17 - Dining area - New American Near Me - Travelers Rest, South Carolina

This place in located in the mountains and is part of a hotel. The location is gorgeous and the table we got outside was well shaded and had fans over so it was pleasant. We came here to have Sunday brunch but I don't think we will be coming back. The lady who sat us was super friendly but our waiter looked like he had no energy and probably rather be somewhere else, we could barely hear him when he spoke. The brunch menu is very small not much to be honest. Burgers were extremely overcooked, the bacon burnt and the fries ok, the breakfast hash was covered in a creamy sauce that was spicy and all I could taste was the heat, the trout was greasy as it is fried, mimosas were fine. Portions were fine. We didn't not enjoy the food nor the service and prices are on the higher end so you expect very tasty food and superb service which we didn't receive. read more

My husband and I got to sneak out away from the kids for a romantic dinner out. We live in South Western NC so finding this restaurant was a treat. Our entire meal was delicious. The flavors were so wonderful! We had excellent service, too. We loved that the chef uses local and seasonal ingredients to create the menu. We started with the ricotta cheese dip and bread, which we learned was made from start to finish in-house. So yummy! We then both enjoyed the steak dinner-- the mushrooms, the squash purée, the pearl onions, the cook of the steak-- everything was perfect. We finished with mixed drinks, a seasonal dessert (can't remember the name) and dark chocolate truffles. Again, so yummy. This place is definitely a hidden gem in the upstate! Thank you for the great service, Noah, we will be back! read more

Our first time trying this restaurant and definitely disappointed based on the ratings. Quality and execution of food for Easter was lacking given the price point. The cocktails were lackluster and the prime rib was over cooked and dry. Dessert was basically a muffin. Our first time trying this restaurant and definitely disappointed based on the ratings.

The food was good and the view is lovely. My husband and I visited while staying in the Bat Cave, NC area for vacation. The service was clumsy. Our waiter wore a mask, and only one glove(?) He kept touching his mask the whole time with his glove whenever he spoke to us. Sometimes he kept the mask below his nose when he spoke to us. He put down cutlery with his ungloved hand. We had an early reservation. A large party began to arrive not too far from our table. These guests did not wear masks on the way to their table and would yell out to their friends while walking by our table, showering us with their droplets and aerosols. read more

Supremely talented chef using locally sourced ingredients as well as anyone in Greenville. If it's ambiance you want the location and views are spectacular but so is the food. Wonderful and diverse brunch and dinner menus...so far we've tried 6 different dishes from shrimp and grits and omelettes to pasta dishes and they've all been delicious. Solid selection of wines by the glass, 1/2 price bottles at times and diverse craft beers from the Carolinas. Great place to wow your spouse or date or to spoil yourself. read more

What a beautiful restaurant with amazing views, beautiful grounds, and fantastic food. The management and staff are doing a great job of handling COVID and we couldn't be more pleased.

We've actually had dinner here two nights in a row (were staying at the hotel) and their breakfast has been wonderful as well. Do yourself a favor and check this place out.
