Though you do have to exit the hotel and walk a few steps down the road to Berrelli's, it's worth it. The atmosphere, quality and value of food are just way better. We had our Christmas dinner here and loved the cozy vibes. The portions are huge yet my dad slurped up his fettuccine Alfredo and my brother his spaghetti and meatballs. Husband loved his short rib. Friendly service.

The staff was so pleasant and attentive. To start we had the tuna tartare- clearly it wasn't fresh because the tuna was so dark but it still tasted fine. They brought over complimentary bread and oil which was nice. For entrees I ordered penne with butter for my daughter but we got spaghetti- no biggie My son had grilled chicken and fries. My husband had the chicken piccata. I had a Caesar salad with grilled chicken. Everything was great. When we got the bill we noticed that we were charged gratuity and the bill read "on a party 6 or more" ... we also noticed that we were charged a higher price for the bottle of wine that we ordered... it was a different price on the wine list. The manager apologized and quickly fixed the bill. Overall we did enjoy our dinner and these minor hiccups didn't take away from how great the service, food and ambience was!

Library Lounge at Skytop Lodge feels like stepping back in time in the best possible way…read more From the moment you walk in, everything slows down. Dim lighting, big comfortable leather chairs, bookshelves lining the walls, a fully stocked bar, and historic photos throughout the space create a classic lodge vibe that feels timeless without being stuffy. It is cozy, polished, and incredibly relaxing. The staff is knowledgeable and clearly takes pride in what they serve. The craft cocktails are well made and thoughtful, and if you prefer beer, there are solid options there too. As a bourbon lover, I especially enjoyed their private barrel pick served neat, a real treat and easily a standout pour. This is a perfect pre-dinner or post-evening stop, we have done both, and it works beautifully either way. Dress is slightly casual but leans upscale, and while pricing is a bit higher than average, it feels completely worth it for the setting, quality, and experience. We sank into the chairs, talked story with friends, and lost track of time, which really says it all. If you are anywhere near Skytop Lodge, make sure this is on your list. Plan extra time, you will want to linger.

Our anniversary dinner at this restaurant was nothing short of extraordinary! It was an experience,…read morenot just a meal! From the moment we made our reservation, the staff went above and beyond to make our evening special, asking if it was a special occasion and greeting us with a personalized note on our table and flutes of champagne upon being seated. The ambience was perfection, cozy yet spacious, with a warm fireplace, perfect lighting, and comfortable seating that made us feel relaxed and pampered. Our server, CJ, was absolutely top-notch, attentive without being intrusive, and added so much to our experience. We were treated to complimentary potato wedges as a taster, and I had the best Moscow Mule I've had in over a year--setting the perfect tone for the evening. We started with the bacon mac and cheese, perfectly savory and indulgent. For our main courses, my husband enjoyed a New York Strip, and I had the crabcake with fries. I also ordered the maple sriracha Brussels sprouts with bacon, which were out of this world. The portion sizes were generous, making it easy to take home leftovers for a second helping the next day. Dessert was the bread pudding with caramel butter topping, a decadent finish that left us completely satisfied, and the dark chocolate sea salt frogs that came with our bill were such a thoughtful, personalized touch; little details like that make memories. As parents of three, nights out are rare, and indulgence like this is even rarer. This was truly a night to remember. Even as a local for 19 years, I'm embarrassed it took us this long to visit, but I can now say with confidence...we will be back. Bravo to the entire kitchen staff and CJ for making our anniversary unforgettable. If you're looking for a restaurant that goes above and beyond, this is it!

I would say the high reviews are based on the locals that live in the area. I hate to say it but…read morethere isn't a lot of great food choices when visiting the Poconos. As an out of towner who has access to amazing cuisine options in my area this restaurant gets three stars and that's being nice. When you walk in it's like a motel entrance. Literally it has all the tourist pamphlets lining the entrance to the hostess stand which doubles as the front desk of the hotel. It's not welcoming and feels cheap. To get to the restaurant you walk down a narrow long bar area where plenty of locals (I'm assuming) were enjoying happy hour. Loud and unwelcoming imho. We were seated in a two top which is super close to another two top. When I requested a booth in leu of the table (every booth was empty) the hostess said they were all reserved. Noting during our entire dining experience there were empty booths. Felt a little shady. Server was very sweet and great personality but unfortunately was not very fast. Every time she finally came back to the table she was apologizing for taking so long. She had other tables but wasn't in the weeds that we could see (in my youth I worked both as a server and hostess). The homemade bread we were looking forward to wasn't fresh and it was lacking taste as was the dipping oil. Adding salt and pepper helped the oil dip. Even though we were both hungry we didn't eat all the bread. That's a problem. We ordered clams as an appetizer. Again, tasteless needed salt, no flavor otherwise. For dinner, I ordered a seafood trio with Brussel sprouts. My husband ordered a fillet cooked, medium with a baked potato. The crabcake lacked flavor had way too much filling tasted like it came from Cisco. After a second bite, I would not eat anymore. The shrimp was ho hum and the lobster not that great either. My husband's steak was very bland no flavor in the meat even though it was cooked to temperature with a slight char on the outside. Because of the slow service and lack of flavor in the food we just wanted to check and get out of there as quickly as possible. What a bust for over $200.

That + good food + excellent beer options (their own beers and some guest beers on tap) make this a great place beyond a quick drink.

The flatbread was just okay, cheese was tasteless and broccoli was nearly raw. The beer was also just okay, I got the pumpkin, blueberry, cream ale, and Hefeweizen. Nothing to write home about. The blueberry was particularly bad - but the pumpkin was good. There was musical bingo which was fun, but they play the songs waaaaay too long, never been to a musical bingo like that. Maybe play each song for 30 seconds, this guy played each song for like 2 minutes it was crazy. In almost 3 hours they only had 3 rounds of bingo! Overall, I'm not running back to this place and didn't get any beer to go - rare for me from a brewery. Some staff was nicer than others. Shout of Aliya our sever for being very kind and attentive.

Unfortunately, it was cold and rainy on this occasion, so enjoying their sprawling outdoor area was out of the question. Instead, we grabbed some drinks from the bar and took them over to one of their worn-in leather couches. My first cocktail was the Jalapeno Margarita with its inclusion of blood orange puree. I liked it well enough, but it had a lot of orange flavor, which I was not super into. I preferred my companion's Smoke Signals, which was like a spicy mezcal margarita with pineapple. Secondly, I had their Hot Apple Cider spiked with mezcal, which I enjoyed more, despite (or, rather, in spite of) it being super boozy. From the log cabin-ish vibe to the friendly staff and excellent cocktails, Early Terrible is a creative lounge worth exploring.

Food: Had a filet mignon with no add-ons which means it just comes with "butter" and a herb brush…read more Mine came out dry with no butter visible on the steak. Honestly, I think it's ridiculous to charge customers $2+ for a little thing of flavored butter when the steak already costs about $60. I ordered my steak medium rare and it came out medium. It really didn't have much flavor either. There wasn't that filet mignon crust you'd expect from a steakhouse. It needed to be better seasoned. Drinks: our waitress said that they have a mystery old-fashioned where the bartender just makes whatever kind of old-fashioned they wanna make. So I ordered that and it came with some cranberries in there, but honestly, the drink just tasted like an old-fashioned. There was no mystery about it. Service: it was fine nothing to write home about. The bar was quite full, and there were quite a few people crowded around and standing around the bar, but there weren't all that many people in tables. Kind of took away the ambience of the restaurant and made it feel more like a bar. We'll probably go back because it's the only steakhouse around that's not a franchise, but I did make filet mignon at home after this, and it was much better.

This is probably my favorite restaurant in Scranton. My husband spoke of this place for years when…read morewe lived in Florida, and now that we are in Scranton, we visit regularly, and I often suggest it to my clients. The service is great and personalized, and the food is consistent and delicious. They are also both willing and creative with dietary restrictions - we enjoyed a plain cauliflower crust in replacement of bread to enjoy with the spinach & artichoke dip. Bonus points for non-alcoholic spirits, and an imperceptible transition in ownership, at least from the consumer side. Thank you for leaving things they way they were. Silly to some, but I would change the coasters. If mentioning the group is necessary, I would suggest the 16th Ward by TFG - I think it currently distracts from the immersive experience of dining in a restaurant, and does little for the marketing of the restaurant itself.
