Restaurants near Rocket Raceway

Great service makes good food even better. Hannah was awesomely awesome.

The food and service were exceptional but the inside temperature could have been turned up a bit.

The meatball sub was not as tasty as I had hoped. The shrimp appetizer was excellent. The beef barley soup has scant amount of barley.

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!!

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.
