Restaurants near Nittany Mall

Great charm but the chairs need to be replaced - just not comfortable and too small. We really enjoyed the pretzels, filet, and crab cakes. We don’t recommend the clam chowder. Service was good. We will come back.

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.

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.”

Food and service were good. Will definitely return when we're in the area.
