Food was fantastic. Service terrible. Waited too long for service throughout the evening. Did not have water filled or drink order taken for ? 15 minutes after being seated. At one point, was told "kitchen was backed" up (only 8 other people in restaurant). Gentleman at the door was great, matre d' excellent. Server very poor. Have been going to this restaurant for 35 years. Last night was extremely disappointing.

They seemed a bit understaffed as I heard our server tell one table that she was hosting/cooking/serving. Service was a bit slow but overall it was a lovely breakfast in a beautiful setting!

Nice place. Food was good but the portions were very small even for a nice restaurant. Service was attentive. Good place for a quiet or romantic dinner.

The moment my partner and I entered the building, no, the moment we parked, we knew we were in for a treat. We are so pleased to have discovered that, in what we thought was a food desert, a beautiful oasis awaited us. The building, inside and out is beautiful (though I was jumpscared by the nittany lion waiting inside). The ambiance was perfect; service was prompt, professional, and very helpful. The food itself, from the amuse-bouche to the complementary truffles offered at the end of our meal, was divine. A note for anyone else attending: DO NOT SKIP DESSERT!!! The "is that an apple" cheesecake was flawless. And the walnut creme brulee was a must-have. I could write a whole essay, but I'll end with saying I will be back many more times, and I hope you all try it!

Thank you so much for your positive comments, you got the experience that we are going for with each of our guests! We look forward to seeing you again in the near future. Thanks again, Steven

We were very disappointed in the sole entree this time. We had it a few weeks ago and thought it was exceptional. Last night it was very disappointing. It was dry and overcooked and I question if it was sole. I think another fish may have been substituted. We took quests because we had enjoyed our previous sole dinner. All four of us were very disappointed with this entree. Salads were delicious, as usual and dessert very good. Adele was pleasant and professional server.
Grace at the CarnegieResponded on May 20, 2025
So sorry for disappointment in the Sole this time. I did speak with Chef about the issue and he is working with the line cooks to fix the problem. I hope to see you again soon, we will be launching a new menu on July 1.
