Restaurants near Shawnee Park

The Tavern is my favorite restaurant in State College. Out server Celest was outstanding and charming. Make this your go to place, it’s excellent!!

We came for a date night had a wonderful time. The atmosphere and food was incredible. Rachel was very sweet and surprisingly knowledgeable about the food. Allowed us to take our time and enjoy everything. Proved to be a wonderful date night spot, definitely booking a window seat next time we are able to come by.

Menu had good variety. Food was tasty and nicely prepared, though not stellar. Wine was very good. Service was a bit slow.

To be clear, I’m a big fan of the Bedford Springs resort, but the upscale dining options there have always felt…underwhelming. I dined on a Saturday night in the Crystal Room. I like the way the Crystal room presents, with simple, but classic decor right in the heart of the hotel. But the menu is very conservative and rather limited, and quite expensive, so it can’t help but be a little disappointing. My partner had the salmon and I had the pork medallions: both were good, solid, well prepared, and flavorful. Our server was very nice, attentive and charming. Our food came out in a very timely fashion. I’ll dine there again I’m sure, and my guess is that when I do I will again wish the prices matched the overall experience a bit better.

The waitress was wonderful, she was polite, and helpful. The food is excellent! We will be back again.
