Highly encourage making a reservation. Excellent atmosphere in an upscale yet relaxed environment. The menu is French leaning and delicious.

Disappointed from my visit in August . Table service excellent but food came out warm at best. Oysters were not shucked well. Bread at table wasn't even worth the effort. Very overpriced for the experience.

The oktoberfest dinner was wonderful. Interesting food preparation and nice beer pairings (some wouldnt be my choice alone, but they paired wonderfully with the food).

We were there to celebrate my daughter 21st birthday, everyone were nice, they even put roses as center piece for decoration. Everyone with great smile, attentive service, from reception to hostess to our servers, they are all fantastic!

We really enjoyed our meal at Grace Rest. However they had a ton of things not available on the menu so much so that at one point 5 items were not available and they were main items. They were very short staffed. The waitress was trying so hard and was doing everything but with many items not available and only one person on floor and in kitchen that made it hard for her. We brought business guests so it was embarrassing but overall the staff tried hard with what they had.

We came here for our anniversary and had such a great time. We're a queer couple and felt really welcomed, the staff were super friendly and kind. The food was amazing, and I inhaled the whole branzino. Everything was fresh and delicious. 10/10, we'll definitely be back!

They are so rude. I’ve emailed and called numerous times to book a private event and each time they claim to take my contact info, yet I never hear back. No responses to emails either. Don’t waste your money - the food is mediocre.

Emily was out waitress and she was so pleasant and accommodating! She made our experience at Grace restaurant absolutely wonderful! Amazing drinks and food! Spectacular and beautiful atmosphere ! We will be back every time we come to visit our daughter at Penn State!
An Upscale restaurant that tastes really good! Every meal we tried here really impressed. Prices are high, portions are smaller but enough.

I give service 5 stars, and food a 1 star. Food was quite nasty. Specifically the brisket dish. There was a lot of animal fat still connected, which gave me an aversion to the food. The salad had older leaves which were very bitter. Dear chefs in America, please learn from other countries. The basis of any good dish, is high quality ingredients. I was in Turkey, and they had mint in their salads. Normally I would have said no, but because their mint was so fresh and appropriate, I ate it with delight! The pavlova you serve can a good meringue, but please lose the cream you serve it with. Go back to the original recipe. Plain white whipped cream (homemade), is how pavlovas are served with. Your food is not worth its prices. The end.

The soft music no tvs (except 1 in the bar area) Had a Royal Manhattan very smooth the seating is so comfortable. Had the two specials, oysters rockefeller and mushroom ravioli in a butter sauce (a new thing for me) delicious. top it off with 3 Key Lime dessert you just have to order it so I won't spoil the surprise.

The wait staff were wonderful and they comped 2 meals that were inedible. Not sure who the chef was, but we had 2 bad meals there. I have stayed at Carnegie House four times this summer and this is the first time the food was very poor. The staff, though, made up for it and promised to pass our information on the chef. I hope they can clear this up because it is a fantastic hotel, the staff are marvelous, and it would be a shame to have their food be the downfall of the restaurant.
