Reviews for Restaurant 917 in Carson, CA
Dined here again after a go in the latest GT3 at the Porsche Experience Center. Food was really good and staff was great!
Came here for my Porsche fanatic father’s 70th birthday lunch! The view of the racetrack made for such a special show while we... ate. We had so much fun pointing out our favorite car and favorite color. They brought me the wrong dish. I ordered salmon andreceived the pork chop. The pork chop was quickly taken back and I was told my salmon will be out soon. I watched 4 salmondishes walk past my table to other tables while I was waiting. Eventually I had them cancel my meal all together because therest of my party was nearly finished. I understand mistakes are made — that was not the issue. The issue was the way it washandled. No bill forgiveness or offer for something else while I waited for my salmon. This place has potential but for such aclassy luxurious establishment, I left disappointed. Read more
What an experience! I originally purchased a gift card for the driving experience for my buddy that he has yet to use, but will... be making him use it soon as an excuse to come dine here again. The space itself is really nice. Lots of parking and electricvehicle charging stations. There is a cafe downstairs with outdoor seating and the restaurant itself is upstairs with a view ofthe track. Our server Nestor was really friendly and accommodating. I was able to try the espresso martini, Paloma, pumpkinspice mule, and the off-season (gin, champagne). Really good cocktails! But the star of the meal was the Dunguness crabspaghetti. Wow. The crusted garlic Parmesan and the basil pesto went so well with the crab. My mouth is watering thinking aboutit. Read more
PRE-CVD Review - Amazing experience! Found out from a friend that this restaurant was here and open to the public. Perched... right above the Porsche Driving Experience racetrack, the views of the cars on the track are unparalleled. We were warmlygreeted by the hostess and sat right away (we had an open table reservation). Our server Tyler was very knowledgeable about themenu and even explained what the drivers were doing on the track in front of us. I advised him of a food allergy and he wasgreat at reassuring me that he would ensure the cooks were aware and no cross-contamination would occur. The bread and buttercame and the butter was shaped as mini Porsche 911's. Legit! We started with the charcuterie board. Nice presentation of meatsand cheese. (see photo) I opted for the flat iron steak which was cooked perfectly to order. The meat was tender, vegetableswere tasty and fresh. Presentation was on point. We relaxed with an adult beverage and watched the cars circling the track andskidpads. What a secret gem this restaurant is. Thank you Tyler and staff for making our experience a phenomenal one. We willbe back soon. Read more
the food is amazing. the server we had, I think Hailey was her name, was one of the best servers we had. would recommend.
We had stuff to do in El Segundo, so the wife made reservations for lunch. I recommend reservations for lunch, even on a... Tuesday. Service was a little slow for me but my European wife felt it was just fine. Go figure. Pretzel bread came with Porscheshaped butter. Nice touch, and the only Porsche *I* can afford. We shared the charcuterie plate. Nice variety of meats andcheeses. Amount was about right, too. Next, we both had the 917 burger. It was very good. Comes with fries. I ordered mediumwell and it was just like I like it - pink in the middle but not too pink. I must be getting old because I had to take halfhome. I look forward to it later. The wife had the 901 cocktail. Whiskey based with other stuff. She liked it and she doesn'tlike many drinks. We got a window table overlooking the Porsche test track. Over on the left, you can see the statue that usedto hold a golf club for the par 3 course that used to be here next to the 405. Bottom line: Expensive, but worth it, imo.Beautiful view, good food, free parking, free show of new Porsche owners on the track. A good time was had by all - except forthat guy who spun out on the wet curve! Read more
I love this place! Actually I learn about the Porsche Experience by way of the restaurant. The rumor mill said Restaurant 917... was good. So we went to check out the restaurant and we found an incredible place. The food is fresh and delicious. Excellentstaff. But The whole Experience is awesome! Read more
