    Bacon and Gouda Omelette
    Jodi L.

    Amazing new brunch spot! I went with the bacon and Gouda omelette. It was packed full of flavor with balsamic onions, bacon, and Gouda. What made the dish was the horseradish aïoli on top. Don't forget about the potatoes that were so crispy and seasoned perfectly. My friend had the crab Benedict and it looked so fresh. She said it was some of the best Benedict she's ever had. We split the pastry, but unfortunately, it was a little burnt. The place is decorated just enough. The bar is inviting. Their cocktails make me want to try everyone.

    Had a great brunch. Kids enjoyed their food. Elote potatoes were the stand out dish. Classic Benedict was nice but the hollandaise was a little flavorless. Service very good but stretched thin. Ambiance was energetic. Would go back but want to try more of the menu.

    Best food I've had in the area for a while. Yes, the food is on the pricier end but it is definitely worth a try. The meat is cooked to perfection. The wood fire grill definitely makes a difference! They gave us complementary sourdough bread with a goat cheese (and i believe cranberry?) spread. It was moist and delicious. The drinks were alright. We could've gone without them. We started with the Brussels sprouts. If you don't like Brussels, you might like this one. My husband doesn't like Brussels but couldn't stop eating this one. I got the steak and he got the chicken. I love steak but the chicken was better in my opinion. Either way, the food was delicious. All the vegetables were well seasoned and cooked. Our server was kind and answered our questions about the food. The place is small and connected to another restaurant (bearded goat) . It was a more intimate setting. Perfect date spot or a nice place to go with family/close friends.

    this would've been done sooner, but I was in the moment and loving every thing about the dinner. I mean. The ambience, service, and food was all amazing. Definitely returning and referring.

    We've been wanting to try this restaurant, and decided that our 40th anniversary was a good reason to try it. We did not regret the decision! The service and food were exceptional, and you can tell they put a lot of thought into the littlest of details. The mere fact that they have Guinness beer on tap puts this restaurant in the top tier in my opinion. Then there's the bread - OMG it was so unique and so good! A duck fat rosemary focaccia bread that was truly something special! For our entrees we ordered the Halibut Rockefeller and the ribeye steak. I say "we ordered" because we're one of those annoying couples who pass our plates back and forth with each other, so you can never say at the end which dish was yours. Both entrees came with the asparagus parmigiana, which I highly recommend as a side dish. The crispy fingerling potatoes are also a must. For dessert we shared a piece of butter cake, which was topped with vanilla ice cream and fresh blackberries. The butter cake was denser than what we're used to but still tasty. The ice cream was so creamy and smooth, it was another surprising treat! All in all, I highly recommend this restaurant you shouldn't wait until your 40th anniversary to go!

    Tuna Nachos - amazing portion size!

    This is by far my new favorite restaurant in Harrisburg! We have gone twice now and both experiences were unique and absolutely fantastic. Insanely knowledgeable staff, wonderful atmosphere, and the food feels like something you'd order at a bougie restaurant in NYC. A top favorite food item would be the Shoyu Deviled Eggs which I could eat 24 of! Since we've done dinner twice our next visit will be for the brunch which looks heavenly. Please, please, PLEASE check this place out! "Chef curated menu, craft cocktails, broad wine selection, high end spirit options."

    Fried green tomatoes & burrata--delicious!

    Our group thoroughly enjoyed dinner & drinks here! The ambiance is ok, but doesn't feel as chic as the menu does. The space still feels warehouse-like and not as warm & inviting as you would like. That being said, the menu is fabulous! Our server was top-notch and very knowledgeable about the cocktails and the specials. Our table shared the fried green tomatoes and the elote potatoes. Both were delicious and each element was perfectly executed. The elote potatoes was the shining star dish of our evening. I ordered the wood grilled salmon as my entree. The salmon was cooked beautifully and the harissa glaze was nice and bright. The couscous and broccolini were wonderful sides to this dish. Everyone was delighted with their food. The cocktails just put this outing over the top! I ordered the violet sky gimlet and was smitten. It was a perfect blend of flavors. I tried my friend's Black Velvet Manhattan and loved that one as well. Benaiah's is just a great all-around place for foodies to enjoy a night out. We will definitely be back!

    We came in from out of town looking for a unique place to try. Benaiah's is a MUST stop if you're in the area. Everything is made from scratch and has a great twist on traditional dishes. The staff is friendly and very clean. Katrina was phenomenal and was on top of everything. We look forward to coming back!

    Food was average. Service was good. Ambiance was like dining in a warehouse. Pics on website make it look like fine dining room but is not.

    My husband and I ran into Seven Mountains on the search for coffee, decided to stay for a wine…read moreflight instead! This cozy wine bar was a fun stop for a PSU weekend, while getting out of the college town. The gentleman that took our order was kind, engaging, and very helpful when we were making our wine selections. We ended up finding wonderful conversation with other patrons inside and thoroughly enjoyed happening upon this place. While they do not serve coffee, there were cheese plate selections that I saw others order. All looked so good!

    Stopped into this delightful tasting room while on a road trip. Loved the warm, shop-like…read moreatmosphere, complete with bottles and other items for purchase. My wife and I enjoyed a flight tasting and opted to go with the larger pours (slightly more expensive). Let me just say, they aren't messing around with those larger offerings! They present the glasses in a unique and lovely spiral serving rack, and each sample was closer to a typical glass of wine. There's more than 40 unique offerings on the menu, so we went with a divide and conquer approach. My wife opted for whites and assorted sweet wines, I went with dry reds. As we worked our way down, sharing each other's flights, we found all the wine to be very good. Honestly, we could've bought a bottle of most everything we tasted. We particularly enjoyed the Pinot Noir (see attached label and don't mind the corners, I took the photo as I was removing the label for my wine journal). But what's nice about Seven Mountain is that most anyone can probably find a wine that fits their preferences (or multiple options for that matter). The Petite Sirah, Cab and Merlot are also good choices for dry reds. Plenty of good white choices as well - both the Riesling and the Dry Riesling are excellent, as are the Chardonnay, Vidal and Pinot Grigio. Dry, crisp, flavorful - perfect for pairing with cheeses or fish dishes. If you opt for the larger samples, my one piece of advice would be to budget enough time to drink responsibly. The tasting room is conveniently located near other shops and restaurants, so feel free to make an afternoon of it and support some local businesses.

    Seven Mountains Wine Cellar Wine Bar - A well-enjoyed bottle of the Pinot Noir. We purchased 4 bottles when we visited, but easily could've walked away with a dozen or more.
