17 River Grille

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!

I definitely agree with other reviews that it takes a while to get in here. I had a reservation and it still took over an hour to get sat. I really like the ambience instead. The view from outside is beautiful. However it's not maintained as well as other outside patios I have dined on. Looking above your head there are spiders everywhere. We came for a special occasion which was on our reservation. However; it was never mentioned. I would definitely not choose to celebrate anything here as they do not seem to acknowledge celebrations as many restaurants do.As for the food it was decent. I had Salmon with Mac n Cheese. My husband had a burger which he thought was ok. He would have preferred a burger that was medium rare, these were smaller patties and not cooked to order. My salmon was overcooked but I didn't send it back because we were starving. The Macaroni was delicious and creamy and al dente.

Starting off by saying service was cool. Very laid back and independent style dining. The restaurant was pretty and laid out interesting.We sat in the middle booth and faced another table which was kinda awkward. I got a cocktail that was very strong which is nice. The food was subpar honestly you are more paying for the view and location rather than high quality food. It came out quick but the fries were cold and the salad was touching the fries and meat which is not ideal. Overall not too bad but we didn't feel it was worth the $100 check.

There is never a bad time to go to this restaurant. It's beautiful and absolutely every season especially summer and winter. The downstairs which many people don't know about is super cozy with fireplaces and great for the winter time. There's also a small party area the upstairs is surrounded by windows That overlooks the falls. The outside patio is pretty. The food is excellent. The wine is great. We have always sat at the bar and it's hit or miss on the service.

Biscuit love!!! Fresh baked biscuits servedUp in an iron skillet. Savory flaky biscuits topped with honey butter melting into rich creamy goodness. Must have if you come here. I got the chicken pot pie special. More biscuits! Tasty chunks of chicken in a rich creamy, (is that sherry I taste?), sauce. Chunks of veggies and...did I mention biscuits? Fresh tomatoes and greens on the side with just a touch of dressing to add flavor. I love when it's not drowning in dressing. I had an Autumn Gin Sour, actually two. Fresh cranberries garnish cider based classic gin sour flavors. Maybe a hint of caramel. Just perfect for a cold autumn evening. Gorgeous views of the falls. Upscale ambience but casual friendly place. You can dress up but you don't have to. Very busy on a Friday night. Parking can be a challenge but they have Valet for only $5 We stopped for dinner before our ice cream adventure to Jeni's around the corner. Fantastic bar area. It would be a super stop with friends for drinks. Service was good. We only waited maybe half an hour without reservations. Looked like an event space downstairs but we sat on an enclosed porch area overlooking Chagein Falls. Just a bit cool but there were radiant heaters and it wasn't bad. Very romantic setting if you want that kind of night but also lots of families and friend groups gathering. A new favorite to recommend.

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.

17 River Grille was excellent. We really enjoyed the honey butter biscuits! The Autumn menu showcased seasonal produce and rich creamy dishes. The half chicken was cooked to perfection, with a delectable chicken gravy. The view of the falls was gorgeous!

5/5 peach salad (best thing we had here, love the combination of the nuts and peach and cheese)4/5 firecracker shrimp (taste is delicious and spicy but I do wish it was crispy and not soft from the sauce)1/5 crab cake (not a fan, texture was too mushy and the crab flavor didn't shine)3/5 service. Server was friendly but didn't seem engaged. Just said the appropriate words. 5/5 cocktails. Loved that they were strong yet flavorful

Walleye and trout were awesome!!! Highly recommend either of those options. Nashville hot on the other hand was not a typical flavor and not to my liking but was to my husband. It's dry peppery instead of saucy or buffalo spicy. Chicken is good although quite a bit of batter too. And lastly that bun is bad. Looks good, tastes bad. Also our service was not great this time around but it was a good table and the fish really made up for it.

For an amazing view, you can't beat 17 River Grille. Whether you grab a bite at the bar, or on the patio or in the main dining room or on the lower level, it's the best location!For an amazing menu that has great variety, affordable and is consistently well prepared you also can't beat 17 River Grille.For beautiful ambiance, spacious interior and just a lovely space, you also can't beat 17 River Grille. Every time I dine in Chagrin Falls I always check out 17 River Grille.Oh almost forgot- you must try the biscuits! Delicious!
