A place you'll return to again and again. Wheelchair friendly bar/ restaurant with an extensive menu. Shrimp risotto was perfectly prepared with homemade bacon bits and corn making it sweet, savory and delicious. Grilled chicken salad definitely a meal, sausage pasta very tasty, not spicy as ordered off menu with no changes, it could use more meat but it was a large shareable size portion and delicious. French fries!! Fresh cut and 👌!! And let me tell you the lemon drop martini😘 , not to be missed. I could drink them all day everyday. Refreshing not too sweet, not too tart. Best lemon drop martini ive ever had. Perfect balance of lemonade and alcohol. Could be a romantic date but also a girls day out or even a family date. Perfect for all occasions.

Visited for the first time tonight and our meal was absolutely amazing. The crispy, flavorful wings were a stand out and the Pasta Alfredo ranks among the best I’ve ever had. Everything was hot and perfectly prepared. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive which made our dining experience even better. This place is a hidden gem! Highly recommend!!!

Absolutely amazing. started with a killer old fashion. Then a Pittsburgh steak salad. the steak was awesome and the blue cheese dressing outstanding. My wife had the scallops special. I'm upset I didn't order it myself. the scallops. and shrimp were great the nocche in a garlic sauce was great. I finished the meal with a snickers martini. amazing place, service, food and drinks. well worth the 12 hour drive.

We had last visited this establishment when they were still in Axemann several years back and through a complete lapse of attention on our part, we didn't realize where they had located to until today.

There's kind of two atmosphere's upon entering this place. One is a darker, tavern vibe. The other is a much more open and brighter seating area that has some nice windows. We were seated promptly and attended to quickly by our waitress who explained the menu and their drink offerings.

I opted for a flight to try a number of beers (this being a brewery I think that's important) and my partner ordered a cider. Our drinks came swiftly and we entered our food selection. First of all the menu has a number of things that we were interested in trying and everything is made there from scratch. Most items are made when you order it which is awesome. I opted for a vodka with meatballs and my partner went for a mushroom risotto with steak. The vodka sauce was fantastic with a nice low level spice in the background. The pasta was cooked perfectly for me with the right mix of chew and tenderness. The meatballs were home made and full of flavor. My partner's risotto has a complex profile and was extremely fresh. The steak was cooked perfectly and extremely tender.

Insofar as the beer selection, I'm typically an IPA guy but the surprising standout for me was the Rubio. I'm a fan of pale cervezas, but I didn't expect to find such a respectable version of one here in central PA. It was bright, aromatic, and extremely refreshing. Definitely worth a try.

The service throughout was friendly, knowledgeable, and kind. The portions were well worth the price. There's a ton of things I want to try on the menu. We'll definitely be back here again in the future. Truly just a lovely little spot!

My husband's dinner was good, but the way my eggplant was served was somewhat disappointing. Pasta in a deep bowl with the eggplant on top. Had to cut the eggplant to eat it which left the spaghetti in a million little pieces. Also my dessert was a joke! Was supposed to celebrate a coconut custard cheesecake and it was a pie ! The
crust tasted like it was freezer burnt. Very disappointed 😞 Decor was tacky.

So the fries are awesome , no local cider options but the kicker is they have pizza - it’s fine but we had a party of 5 we ordered three pizzas and fries - they charged us 5$ a person extra for - sharing plates - I said we ordered pizza so we paid an extra 25$ on top of everything else because we were sharing pizza - so we won’t be back -and yes you did charge us 5$ per person and no you did not state that prior to us ordering- only when we got the bill
