Fresh@17’s menu feels thoughtfully attuned to those who appreciate straightforward, satisfying food crafted with heart.

A great variety of foods, from freshly cooked to fresh vegetables. The coffee was also good. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was clean and peaceful. Also a bonus was plenty of parking.
