17 West

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!'

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!

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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).

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

they don't update their website till last minute, and it costs $85 for a steak dinner. they food is good though, but i just wish that their pricds were better
