Restaurant 917

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 electric vehicle charging stations. There is a cafe downstairs with outdoor seating and the restaurant itself is upstairs with a view of the track. Our server Nestor was really friendly and accommodating. I was able to try the espresso martini, Paloma, pumpkin spice mule, and the off-season (gin, champagne). Really good cocktails! But the star of the meal was the Dunguness crab spaghetti. Wow. The crusted garlic Parmesan and the basil pesto went so well with the crab. My mouth is watering thinking about it.

If you're into cars and good food, this is a must try. You get a great view of the Porsche experience track. The food is pretty good and a nice environment.

Dined here again after a go in the latest GT3 at the Porsche Experience Center. Food was really good and staff was great!

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 warmly greeted by the hostess and sat right away (we had an open table reservation). Our server Tyler was very knowledgeable about the menu and even explained what the drivers were doing on the track in front of us. I advised him of a food allergy and he was great at reassuring me that he would ensure the cooks were aware and no cross-contamination would occur. The bread and butter came and the butter was shaped as mini Porsche 911's. Legit! We started with the charcuterie board. Nice presentation of meats and cheese. (see photo) I opted for the flat iron steak which was cooked perfectly to order. The meat was tender, vegetables were tasty and fresh. Presentation was on point. We relaxed with an adult beverage and watched the cars circling the track and skidpads. What a secret gem this restaurant is. Thank you Tyler and staff for making our experience a phenomenal one. We will be back soon.

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 Porsche shaped butter. Nice touch, and the only Porsche *I* can afford. We shared the charcuterie plate. Nice variety of meats and cheeses. Amount was about right, too. Next, we both had the 917 burger. It was very good. Comes with fries. I ordered medium well 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 half home. I look forward to it later. The wife had the 901 cocktail. Whiskey based with other stuff. She liked it and she doesn't like many drinks. We got a window table overlooking the Porsche test track. Over on the left, you can see the statue that used to 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 for that guy who spun out on the wet curve!

Eaten here many times. Outstanding food, Outstanding service. Always a good time. Fun times eating while watching the cars on the track.

Quite a feast for the eyes and the palette. Excellent food with nice choices. The menu includes non alcoholic choices if you're going to be a driver.

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. Excellent staff. But The whole Experience is awesome!
