The staff continues to impress--attentive, warm, and they actually remembered us, which made the experience feel even more special. We even saw the young gentleman from Croatia again who had taken care of us on a previous visit--he was just as pleasant and even stopped by our table to say hello, which was such a nice touch. We dined later in the evening this time, and it was really special to see the staff, managers, and I believe even the owner all still there together. It felt less like coworkers and more like a family--which says a lot about a place. Food-wise, everything held up to our first visit (which is rare!). I couldn't resist and ordered the beef bourguignon again--still absolutely incredible. We also had escargot (note: it comes with béchamel unless you ask otherwise), and that amazing cassoulet loaded with different meats from the evening--it was spectacular. Safe to say this place is officially our favorite on the island... and yes, I'm still tempted to keep it a secret .

My husband had the Veal. Also, excellent!!! Lemon drop martini was delicious and good size. Appetizers were also very good. Service was very good as well, waiter was attentive. The noise level was the only drawback as there were 2 large parties that were sat side by side. The restaurant is small inside. Since it was an anniversary dinner the noise was the only negative for the dinner. Overall, it was a very good experience, as the food was the best ever!!! Highly recommend for the outstanding food!!

Birthday dinner at Bistro 17 in Shelter Cove was exactly the kind of evening I was hoping for. We…read morechose to sit outside so I could bring my dog along, and even on a chilly night the patio was cozy and inviting with the heaters on. It was quiet, relaxed, and felt special without trying too hard. The food was absolutely the star of the night. We ordered the rack of Colorado lamb and the Coquilles Saint-Jacques -- both were outstanding. Perfectly prepared, beautifully presented, and easily in my top five meals I've had on the island. Fair warning: don't be in a hurry for ANYTHING. Inside, a pianist was playing and the dining room looked lively and elegant, which already has me planning a return visit -- next time we may leave the dog at home and enjoy the atmosphere indoors (though my photo-bombing pup clearly wanted to be part of the celebration). A memorable birthday dinner with excellent food, lovely ambiance, and an experience that felt effortlessly special. Bistro 17 is definitely worth a visit.

My husband had the hanger steak with frittes and bordelaise sauce - so delicious and perfectly cooked. For dessert we had macaroons to go in several flavors. We can't wait to come back!

The cafe is lovely; cozy with small tables scattered about. They have outdoor seating, too. I got scrambled eggs, gluten free bread, grits and a soy latte. I was very happy to see they had gluten free bread! My husband got a cappuccino, scrabbled eggs with cheese, toast and bacon. He said it was all very good. The eggs are moist and delicious, very similar to the eggs we had in Paris. They have a few gifts for sale and I bought two of their china cups with baby succulent plants to take home. It's a nice reminder of a happy memory. On our last day, several employees said hello and remarked that we had been in every day. It was a kind send off to a great trip! We will definitely be back soon!

I need to update this because the owner keeps responding to my review, assuming it's about my dog,…read moreand I want to be direct: it is not, and she's wrong to keep saying so. My experience with her had nothing to do with her rules about dogs. It was about her attitude and the way she delivered a message, condescending and rude, in a tone that talked down to me as a customer, not an explanation, just contempt. That's the problem I have with her: the way she speaks to people, in this abrasive, angry, mean tone. If you're running a business and taking money from people, learn to deliver whatever you have to say in a friendly, kind way, not a condescending, dismissive, disgusting one. That is what this review has always been about: her behavior, not a dog. If it were about a dog, I would have said so. Having rules is fine, every business is entitled to them. What isn't fine is delivering any message with contempt instead of basic courtesy. There's a difference between enforcing a policy and being rude while doing it, and she consistently chooses the latter. I've also noticed her own staff don't follow her stated policies when she's not around, dogs sitting at tables inside, that kind of thing, which tells me something about how her own employees feel about working under her. And I'm not the only one who's had this kind of experience. I've talked to other people locally in Savannah who described the same condescending treatment from her. The latte is good. The staff, aside from her, are friendly. But an owner who can't speak to paying customers without an attitude problem is the reason I won't be back. Take accountability for how you talk to people, not for a dog that was never the issue.

We dined at night, when the patio glowed with lights, heaters, and long tables that felt instantly charming and warm. Inside, I loved the window at the end of the house looking straight into the kitchen. It felt like a front row seat at *The Bear*. The handwritten menu was a beautiful, elevated touch. The food was excellent. The burrata was the best I've had in ages, perfectly balanced with fresh, elegant flavors. The peppers with anchovies delivered a bolder, more dissonant note, but it worked beautifully. The bread was wonderful, the pork schnitzel hearty and satisfying, and my favorite dish was the snapper. Perfectly prepared, it came with a creamy but light sauce over a bed of onions. My only critique was the non alcoholic wine. The options tasted more like juice, and alcohol free wine can absolutely be refined and complex. These were not. Service? Yes. Yes. Yes. Warm, attentive, and genuinely gracious. I felt like a special visitor. Thank you.
