Restaurant 17 - yum + incredible view (Travelers Rest, Furman: hotel, live, garden)

Last night I took my hubby to Restaurant 17 at Hotel Domestique to celebrate his birthday. This newish restaurant is located in northern Travelers Rest and is 2 turns off of Rt 25. It is about 15 mins from Furman.

The food was delicious from the homemade bread at the start to our appetizers and entrees; everything was fresh and flavorful. They grow a lot of the garden ingredients right on the property. The chef, Adam Cooke is the former executive chef at the Barn at Blackberry farm a very well-regarded restaurant. We were too full to try dessert.

Service was friendly and knowledgeable without being overbearing. We had a few ingredient questions that were answered well.

And the VIEW! Below is a picture I took with my phone camera. It was our view from the table.

This is an expensive restaurant, but no more so than say a High Cotton or Soby's. It's great for a special occasion and a must-visit for foodies. We will definitely be back. Note: In June they are doing 3 courses menus for $30 on Tuesday evenings (beverages are extra). And the host told us that they have live music on Thursdays.

Thanks so much for sharing. Just this morning I noticed an ad for them. For the month of June their Tuesday Prix-Fixe dinners(3 for $30) are a "Tour of the Mediterranean"

June 10th/Greece
June 17th/Turkey
June 24th/Cyprus

It appears they offer Tastings on Wednesday Nights/Reservations Required. Take a look at their website at Restaurant 17 at Hotel Domestique

Thanks for the info! Sounds like a neat place to try for a special meal or occasion, and with the added bonus of a scenic little drive and spectacular view. Might have to give it a try sometime!
