"great food and service. it's been a few years since we last visited and we found up to 217 still very good. as a bistro restaurant, the dishes are numerous ingredients and slender gourmet. my friend had the pear salad and the Pan-Seared lobster, shrimp scallops with healthy tomato, and scalions in parmesan béchamel over fattyuccine. I had the french wobbles soup and aubergine cat chest local garnel, scallops, groupers in basil pamesan sauce over fried aubergine. I enjoyed the aubergine cheese, which consisted of local garnels, scallops and groupers in a basil-Pamesan cream sauce over fried aubergine. everything was excellent, except the french wobbly soup that contained a bit too much bread for my taste. the portions were generous. the service was excellent and prompt. once we sit on the table, a broth basket was placed. our server, carry, was knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and professional. she has regularly checked to be sure we enjoy our meal, despite a few big party tables. the restaurant was easy on the expensive side, but the value was good in consideration of the quality and amount of food. In a counter with so many restaurants the bistro 217 stands for good eating. we look forward to a return visit. if it weren't for the wobble soup and the noise level, I would have given this restaurant a perfect rating."
