Seventeen Bay Harbor - Petoskey

Not very many people there mid-week, off-season when we went, but still had very good quality food, service. Filet was done just right. very good lemon cake for dessert. This place is probably really hoppin' in season/weekends. Good food, drinks, wine list. Recommend highly! Will be back!

In the past we have dined at 17 several times and enjoyed it..Our last experience was OK for ambiance and wait staff...My entree Surf Turf was not even a small plate, but a minuscule appetizer with 2 small scallops and a 1 piece of pork belly.. No garnish, no vegetables...Yes it was tasty, but not at all what I expected from past experiences...

It was very frustrating to be waiting in the restaurant and my dinner guests were waiting in the lounge and to never be connected. When I checked in the reservation was removed. When my guests arrived, they were told there were no reservations and waited for me in the bar. I waited in the restaurant. There were a total of 10 people in the restaurant while I sat there for nearly two hours. My guests were fearful that something had happened to me and actually called the hospital and 9-1-1 as they knew I would not stand them up. They had been assured that there were no reservations and the bartender never checked in with the servers to see if someone was waiting.

Halibut was horribly overcooked for three of us. Rumor is that 17 is closing.

Service was poor. Unfortunately despite asking for a quiet table for an anniversary we were surrounded by a large group of loud drunken egomaniacs. The one waiter outside catered to this group forgetting our drink orders and bringing our appetizer with the main course. Too bad. Nice place. Night ruined. Too many other great places.
