In Short
This friendly neighborhood cafe is nestled among the boutiques and galleries of this upscale shopping strip. Inside, exposed ceiling beams create a light, airy atmosphere. An eclectic mix of locals drop by for the Californian fare, embellished with Italian, Mediterranean and Mexican flavors. Menu highlights include a grilled vegetable tostada, chicken and mushroom pasta, and the specialty side dish--crispy sweet-potato fries. Salads, pastas, pizzas and entrees are served in large portions.

we order take out and attempted to use kcrw discount which cashier refused for "take out" trying to blame it on kcrw. owner jack also tried blaming "no discount on take out" on kcrw also when in fact it was jack behind this policy and not really kcrw. order also was screwed up and food was okay but pricy for what it is. ken

I have been a frequent customer at this restaurant for many years.. . but will be no longer. Often, I order food for delivery from the restaurant (LA BITES delivers.) This evening, I ordered a Chinese Chicken Salad. When it arrived, it had no dressing...oh well, mistakes will happen. When I phoned the restaurant, they refused to take responsibility (despite telling me that the order called for the dressing to be "mixed into" the salad). They attempted to blame it on the delivery service, despite the fact that the salad came in 17th St. Cafe's bags and packaging. I can live without the salad... and I can live without the cost of the salad. But I really can't handle a restaurant that won't take responsibility for their mistakes and do the right thing. Thumbs down to 17th Street Cafe for having no class. If they need fifteen bucks for a salad they provided which was not edible, business must not be very good.

This small cafe on Montana has amazing service. It is small enough, so that your waiter will check on you several times throughout the course of your meal, but big enough to have a great chef! The pasta is amazing. Prices are a little bit high, but it'd worth it for the delicious food! :)
