    Grace at Carnegie House is always good. I make it a point to visit every time I am in State College - it’s the best restaurant there.

    Attended the Bubbles Tea which was a sparkling wine event. While this was a fun event, it was rather costly for what was served. Considering the cost of a sparkling wine at the bar, would have expected to receive at least 2 full glasses during the event but instead received very small pours. Food items were also very small, but good. Lox sandwich with caperberries was fantastic.

    Hi Michelle, I appreciate the feedback and the next time we offer this we will take your suggestions into consideration. We weren't too sure how things were going to go so it was a bit of a learning process. Hope to see you next time. Thank you, Steven

    We had a really nice lunch, ate at the bar for dinner and breakfast the next day. We had a lovely experience each time, the food and service were really good. We had the same server in the restaurant and she was wonderful. The ambience and the entire staff were very nice. Highly recommend and I would definitely return.
