- CCathyVIPPhiladelphia County •15 reviews4.0Dined 3 days agoServer was great. But I noted this was a birthday and there was no recognition of this. Host/Desk staff were openly discussing how much a patron spent the last time they were in to dine.Disappointing to make this res weeks in advance and no one acknowledged birthday. When I called to change number of people in party, I also mentioned that it was a birthday. I expect more.More infoThe Tavern RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• State College•4.5

- AAndrewAlabama •2 reviews4.0Dined 3 days agoVery nice atmosphere, not overly fancy but not a sticky college town basement bar. A little loud, but it was Friday night. Waitress was very attentive however, spoke very softly! I think that was just her voice as she could tell I couldn’t hear her well and didn’t generate more volume. But hey, that is pretty picky review. I think the menu had someone for everyone. We would go back.More infoFederal Taphouse-State CollegePrice: Moderate• Gastro Pub• State College•4.2
- TTammyPhiladelphia County •6 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoThis was our first time at Gigi’s. We had the fried green tomato bruschetta (delicious!), shrimp and grits (also delicious) and shrimp carbonara (very good). The service was excellent and our food came out quickly. We were there on a Wednesday night, and had reservations, but would not have needed them. We will definitely go back!More infoGigi's Southern TablePrice: Moderate• Southern• State College•4.5
- CCarrieVIPBaltimore / Maryland •18 reviews5.0Dined on Feb 1, 2025There is no better restaurant in the State College area by far! It is very rare to find the combination of excellent food that is delicious and healthy, beautifully presented and absolutely delicious!!! The chef, Alex, is a true star amongst chefs and anyone is lucky to eat his food. Server Rachel is as lovely and hard working as you could wish for. She made sure we had everything we needed without crowding us and truly made our dining experience a night to remember! Book in advance and enjoy a perfect night out that your mouth and heart will remember!!!!! We love you Allen St. Grill!More infoAllen Street GrillPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• State College•4.7
