Seventeen51 Restaurant & Bistro — Restaurant in Lacey

For context, I am mid-30s person that put into Google that I was looking for a place for a nice lunch. Google recommended this restaurant and bistro so I went over to check it out. The good news is that the food is good, fresh, and well priced. The bad news is I was not prepared for the fact that the restaurant is on the second floor of a retirement home community center.

Have never had this happen before while dining out. Maybe hire more experienced wait staff? A couple servers seemed like they just wanted to not be there at all also. I wouldn’t recommend this place to any of...

The prices have gone up and the service has gone way down. Last month and today the service was terrible and the food was very slow and cold. I had to request coffee refills. My coffee cup spent more time empty than...
