Restaurants near Knickerbocker Historic District

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.

Shrimp and grits meal was delicious and the service was excellent.

We were excited to go to the Nittany Lion Inn with another couple for the first time since they reopened a few months ago. Our server, Timothy, was professional and courteous. The food was pricey and a solid B. When it was time to receive the check, we asked to have the bill divided, and our server said, “That isn’t our policy, but since it’s not busy tonight, I can probably do that for you.” Having lived in this college town for most of my life, this is the first place we’ve been to that doesn’t have that “policy.” And, as we were preparing to leave, another server tossed a cleaning rag onto a table near us as she was walking by—a toss of about 8 feet. We found this peculiar in a restaurant that purports to be “upscale.”

We had our friend’s Christmas dinner gathering. Elias was our server and he was great. Nice, patient and helpful with decisions. He accommodated my request for whipped ricotta with the Charcuterie. All of our meals were delicious. I had the Pork Osso Buco and it was amazing. Some of the meals were very small portions, especially for the cost. The Nittany Lion Tail cocktail was a perfectly balanced drink.

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