I think most people will like the food here. For my wife and I, we just were not blown away. Everything we ordered just seemed to be underseasoned. All I can think of is they are tailoring the food to an older customer who may not like salt, butter, wine,garlic,etc.. I don't think this is classified as a French restaurant But it seems to have some inspiration in some of their dishes. Fine French food has a very deep flavor profile with A very pleasing presentation. Sometimes chefs over present to compensate for lack of flavor Or food quality. The location and ambience of the restaurant is fantastic overlooking the water and boats. Would definitely go back for drinks and maybe try it again with Just an appetizer.

Dined outdoor on a Wednesday, did not make reservations. Nice view of the marina. Greeted with bread and butter, cheese, crackers and olives. Reasonable prices. Friendly service variety of food and drinks. They do have cocktails, no cocktail menu, you just have to ask. They have a wine and small beer menu. Handicapped accessible. Parking in Shelter Cove. Bathrooms are not located in restaurant, bathrooms are outside the restaurant in between shops.

I ordered the crab cake as an entree and it was a horrible, deep fried ball of dough with very little crab. It was recommended by our waitress but it was absolutely inedible. A hush puppy would have been better. To be fair, the string fries were good, as was the salad. But those crab cakes … just awful. Further in a spirit of fairness, my wife’s halibut was very good.

Have not been to the Bistro in about 3 years...at which time we went weekly for dinner. Was very disappointed in my chicken crepe for lunch. Visually it was unappealing..brownish and not identifiable as a crepe. It was covered in a thick layer of what I think was guyere cheese. Never a good sign when you have to scrape off the first layer of your lunch. I will give them another chance before writing them off. The service and ambiance are great,however.

Bistro 17... Great on all points! Plus a beautiful view of the Shelter Cove Harbor and gorgeous sunsets! Outdoor seating as well, cozy, friendly, shaded from bright sun, and live music from the grand piano 🎹

Great little place on the water. Prices are excellent! I had the biggest bone in rib-eye for $60! This steal was 2.2lbs! Cooked to perfection!

Excellent view & service. The food is delicious. We took my parent's for their anniversary lunch. Everything was perfect! We had the shrimp, tuna, & chicken salad, salmon salad, & smoked salmon. We loved everything and are looking forward to returning soon!

This place is perfect for the right clientele. It is a cozy French bistro with a refined atmosphere. Relaxed outdoor seating and more intimate inside dining. They serve upscale authentic food. Anyone will feel welcomed by the staff. However, if you have young children or picky eaters...this might not be the best option. I've never had a bad meal and will continue to come back time and time again. Come prepared to have an evening. It's not just food. Share a bottle of wine (or several), enjoy the company, savor the meal, and take a walk under the the marina stars after. You will not regret the time spent at bistro 17.
