Make sure to request seats overlooking the waterfall because it's beautiful. Our waitress was so nice and the came out very fast. The food was incredible, my father in law said it was the best French onion soup he'd ever had. read more

17 River Grille - Eggs Benedict - American Near Me - Chagrin Falls, Ohio

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. read more

The food was good and tasty but the service was very slow, which might make sense if the restaurant was busy but it wasn't. The waitress didn't bring out food and relied on others to do that. Our drinks were never refilled and she never asked if we needed anything else to drink. Then when we ordered ice cream for dessert they brought it out melted. And didn't even give us a free dessert for our anniversary. Ambiance was great but it did get pretty buggy being outside. read more

Popped in with out-of-town guests for brunch on a Saturday. Had a wonderful seat on the lower patio with a view of the falls. Our server was great. And the breakfast sandwich served on one of their signature heavenly biscuits was amazing. read more

17 River Grille - Heavenly Breakfast Sandwich - American Near Me - Chagrin Falls, Ohio

Excellent place! This establishment is swanky, clean and has a great vibe! Plenty of service to be sure your needs are met! Ask for Tyler! He was a great server! Food is very good and a unique variety! Even in the winter it was cozy and classy inside! Can't wait to go again in the summer to see the falls! read more

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. read more

Chopped salad was not good come here often and browned lettuce old tomatoes and chopped egg was not so good looking!

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. read more

First off, there is valet parking for $5 which is a life saver. 2) the place is so beautiful and chic on the inside. We were sat in the patio and that was also an adorable picture opportunity and vibe. We were able to hear the waterfall! The staff were so kind and knowledgeable about the menu. We loved the food that we got, the quality was unmatched. My only complaint is that I wish the menu was a little bigger but it was overall a great experience. (Also get the lemon Parmesan chicken and French onion soup!) read more

1st timers for Saturday lunch - food was good - our waitress Alexis was what made our experience amazing! Will say the stained chair cushions were a big turn off read more

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. read more

We were in chagrin for one evening; picked this place for their happy hour menu. Had two great gin drinks, one from the HH menu and one was a mocktail that the bartender recommended I try with gin. We ate the biscuits and the potstickers- both amazing. We tried the sushi too and it was okay, not as good as the other dishes. Loved the atmosphere at the bar here. Would definitely come again. read more

The food was good; we had app and drink at bar. Then main dinner at table. Bar service as well as dinner service at table was very good. Ivy was our waitress; she was very accommodating, and gave quick service. My problem is with the outside. We sat at a table close to street, which was fine. We did not have reservations. My issue may not matter to some, but the seat cushions had stains all over them. I flipped mine and my guests, but both sides were spotted; large spots; perhaps food... not sure. Why not just remove the seats cushions. They were placed upon heavy wicker-like chairs, so really not necessary. I'm thinking will probably not return, for that very reason. I know other restaurants have been at same location, and they were good; did not sit outside at any of those. We live on Westside, and travel all over; east; west; Akron; Lakewood. We like intimate places; party places; etc. Just don't need to sit on grease stained chair pads read more

Food was superb, as was the ambiance and service. Beautiful views of the chagrin falls.

Lovely location overlooking the Chagrin River. Had the highly recommended French Onion soup - delicious with lots of cheese - and their signature cast-iron tray with five tasty biscuits & honey butter. Delightful service. Looks like the patio area would be a nice spot to enjoy, too. Classy restrooms, too. read more

Music is too loud making it hard to have a conversation. Had to talk loudly to be heard. Several other tables mentioned same thing. Asked Manager is music volume could be lowered - was told volume couldn't be changed. Unfortunate as food, view and staff are very good. read more

Great spot along the Chagrin River falls with a great beautiful aesthetic. We ordered appetizers and drinks, highly recommend the Heavenly Biscuits which were jammed back with flavor and were perfectly savory. Order them early because they do run out! We also ordered the No Ordinary Caesar which was tasty but was very much an ordinary Caesar salad along with the crab cakes which were good but didn't have a wow factor for the price. I really enjoyed the Brewster and Stroud cocktail which was light and refreshing, perfect for a summer evening. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. read more

17 River Grille - Lemon Parmesan Chicken - American Near Me - Chagrin Falls, Ohio

We have been to this restaurant several times. This time we celebrated my daughter's birthday. Food is excellent. We enjoyed the biscuits and shrimp for an appetizer. They had a special menu available. I ordered the beef bourguignon. It was really good. I had an excellent moscato. Our server was new but you would never know it. Reservations are a must unless you find seats at the bar. It is a bit noisy but a view of the falls makes up for it. read more

Best part about this place is the view from the patio if you're fortunate enough to get seated here. It's one of the best patio briefs in all of the Cleveland area. The server was very attentive and stopped by the table often to see that we were OK on everything. All the food we ordered was certainly delicious. The Wagyu beef meatballs come with toasted bruschetta and were good, although I've had better meatballs elsewhere. They are about the size of a mandarin. We also ordered the Burning River sushi roll which was very plentiful and good all around. The Idaho Rainbow Trout meal was fabulous. Recommended if you were on the fence for which seafood to order. Overall, this place was great. We will definitely be back to enjoy the patio once again. read more

17 River Grille - Downstairs patio - American Near Me - Chagrin Falls, Ohio

Went there yesterday.. I ordered the burger my wife had the chicken. They were both very tasty but when all my food was gone my wife pointed out there was a hair right on the middle of my plate. I waited until I paid my bill so they wouldn't think I was just trying to lower my bill. Told the waitress who apologized and asked if I wanted manager. I went and found the manager and told her. She apologized and said she would talk to cook. Like I days for l said food was good and wife enjoyed her Vodka lemonade but he careful and look at your food closely. Needless to say I threw out the rest of my food. read more

This is our favorite restaurant to have a celebration! We had dinner there to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary and had a great time. Besides the delicious food (amazing short rib potstickers, delicious trout and salmon arugula salad), our server Josiah was one of the best. He was gracious, attentive, and truly helped make our evening so special. read more

Had a great dining experience at 17 river grille. Our server was Santiago and he was very attentive to our group of 8, and I think our service was one of the best parts of the night. The sushi appetizers were all very fresh and perfect to split amongst the table. The star of the appetizers though was the heavenly biscuits. Truly so amazing!! The French onion id rate 4/5 stars due to the broth being slightly sour, but still really well put together. Sadly it was a cold day so couldn't sit on the patio but the scenery around the restaurant is beautiful. Definitely recommend short rib as your meal! read more

Great evening at 17 River Grille in Chagrin Falls. The food was delicious, view spectacular but what made the evening so very special was the kind and attentive service provided by our server, Imani S. She was a true delight. Highly recommend this place on the river. read more

Biscuit love!!! Fresh baked biscuits served Up 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. read more

The best server we have had in long long time...Agatha went beyond all expectations to make our dinner special for our 41st anniversary. Her attentiveness was spectacular. The meals were perfect in every way, the fish was cooked just right, the french fries were thin and crispy and not too well done and the hot fudge sundae was literally to die for. Tuesday night is half-price bottle of wine night and even the Pinot Grigio was perfectly chilled and crisp to the taste and quite reasonably priced. I know there are a ton of places to eat in Chagrin Falls, but none are better than the 17 River Grill, not just for the food, but for a wonderful dining experience. read more

Great food! Celebrated my Dad's 60th birthday here and the food and service was great! Food portions sizes were a nice surprise! Everyone enjoyed their meals! Kids chicken strips were more than enough and not too expensive! The chicken fried steak was awesome and so were the burgers read more

9/8/23 Update: After being contacted by some higher uppers, I was able to speak to the actual owner (who I mistakenly thought was Stephen). Rick (the owner) gave me a call and listened to me recount my experience and share my thoughts. As Rick said himself in the initial message to me "I already have management teams at 17 River Grille... And all of our restaurants revising policies... to add low top or flexible seating to all our happy hour areas. We will also address this with all future designs." Policy change/staff understanding of when they must make accommodations is what I was aiming to have done. So this claim sounds promising. There also seems to be some confusion with my original post - some people thinking I was saying that they do not have chairs of all heights/accessible facilities. That is not the case!! My original post meant to bring light to the fact that I was not given reasonable accommodation to access a service that they publicly offer. I was not implying that they were lacking appropriate chairs. 1 star (0 if I could) for Phteven, but 4 stars for Rick Doody. 9/5/23 Original post: !!!!!THIS RESTAURANT WILL DENY SERVICE BASED OFF DISABILITY!!!!! I went here (not my first time) during happy hour times. I require low seating as I am physically disabled. When requesting happy hour service at an accessible seating location, I was told NO by Steven (who I now see is the owner) and that I must sit at the bar seating. I pointed out my disability. I received a shrug in response and was essentially told rules are rules and all the restaurants they own have this policy. No reasonable accommodations were suggested or provided. I felt horrified, embarrassed, subhuman, and violated. Just as a reminder to STEVEN/17 River and all their restaurants with this discrimination disguised as a policy, people with disabilities deserve to be treated as humans. It's unfortunate that a law needs to exist for this to even happen, but here's a quick overview of the Americans with Disabilities Act : The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) protects people with disabilities from discrimination. Disability rights are civil rights. From voting to parking, the ADA is a law that protects people with disabilities in many areas of public life. read more

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! read more

I have come to realize that the restaurant has some really good dishes. I love the chicken breast is good- add a lot of lemon, the trout was good, I didn't mind the small Korean salad. It needs more flavor and make it bigger andI would like this . It more of everything and I don't eat a lot. I am had a bite of my daughter in- laws sushi and really liked it. I think I will try it tonight! read more

I made a reservation for today, Sunday, and told them it was my wife's birthday. When we got there the person that greeted us asked who's birthday it was and I told him. We were then seated. The meal was awesome, as always. The server who had been very unfriendly all meal never once mentioned my wife's birthday or asked if we wanted desert. She gave us our check, thanked us, and walked away. When you make the reservation, why ask if it's a special occasion if you're not going to even mention it. I was extremely disappointed. read more

Lucked into a table right away on a rainy Sunday evening back in August. It was still nice enough out to sit outside by the falls, which is an amazing view while dining! Service was a little slow, but the restaurant is huge so not surprised. We enjoyed our food, go for the Heavenly Biscuits as a starter, you won't regret it! My 17 Burger was okay, nothing unforgettable, but I would go back again! We walked from our air bnb so not sure about the parking situation, it looked like they do offer valet. Plenty of shops and dessert options around town to walk to after dinner here. read more

Lovely view of the falls. Staff were friendly and attentive. We were disappointed in the entree--the fish of the day, which turned out to be drenched in a very sweet and very spicy sauce--not a beurre blanc sauce as described on the menu. The service staff were A+ and the view was lovely! We just wish the menu had been accurate. read more

We had Stella as our server and she was fabulous. Knowledgeable, helpful, checked in to see if we were okay or if we needed something. She has a great personality! I asked her if the manager was there and she pointed JOBY out to me. I walked over to him, introduced myself and told him about our splendid experience and the fact it happened to be my 78th birthday celebration. This restaurant has always been a favorite of ours, but this experience was the best. Jude and Dick Parke. 6/26/2025 read more
