We had such a great experience our first HH Saturday night we stopped in again Sunday for dinner and drinks. Makalah made our visits so wonderful she gets a shout out Thank You. Makalah, and her fellow bar staff. all made superb handcrafted (took a minute or too and so worth it) cocktails for us each night such as; Sweater Weather bourbon, Mexican Firing Squad tequila, and Sangria. We also enjoyed a excellent crisp Caesar salad with flank steak with our red wine was a great dinner. The staff of Central Reservation was welcoming, professional, and friendly and we appreciated that. Next visit to State College we are dining at Central Reservation for sure. Cheers.

Ambience and decorum was nice with an upscale feel yet still casual. It took a while for the bartender to get through prior customers to come take my order, but she was working solo with what appeared to be a trainee. Had the surf and turf. Food was great. I'd come back and recommend to others.

Just had dinner here after getting our daughter settled for Penn State - what an awesome place!…read more Got a table no problem (reservations on their website) and had an excellent server (Alexus). We started with a flight of whisky's for me, a cab sav for my wife and a cocktail for my daughter. All good! We had some maple bacon Brussels to kick things off and they were legit! I got the coconut curry salmon - DANG. So good! Crispy skin, perfect rice and the snow peas! My wife got the Delmonico (I had to help her, oh darn!) and it was perfectly cooked and very nicely seasoned. Daughter got the short rib and oxtail over noodles and they were perfect. Everything was exactly prepared and delicious! After dinner we went to their distillery tasting room and tried a few more of their distilled offerings, bought several bottles but the star of the show was the Limoncello! This was not your Italian, tastes like Pine-Sol limoncello - this was perfectly balanced and exceptional! Definitely put this place on your list if you're in the State College area. We are!

I've eaten calamari all over the world, and this has been the top 3 best I've ever had. The cook was perfect. Breading perfect. Seasoning just right!! Main course: I ordered the coveted Delmonico with mashed potatoes and broccolini. The potatoes were great. Very flavorful and comforting. The broccolini also had great flavors. The not so good: The $45 Delmonico ordered Rare - The plate came out at first I thought maybe they gave me a strip based on the cut. I asked the server she said it does look like a strip and took it back to the kitchen and then returned with the same plate and who am I assume was the shift manager, after discussion with him, It turns out that this cut of beef was not a ribeye/Delmonico it was actually a Denver cut of beef, which, while in its own sense has some good flavoring it also has more a larger fat cap similar to a strip. Serving a Denver cut and calling it a Delmonico (ribeye ) is not the same thing and are vastly different in price from a butcher and typically at a restaurant. The cook was perfect. It was rare ( as ordered) and the small edible beef portions of the steak were flavorful, just not the buttery melt-in-your-mouth texture one would expect from a ribeye. I would not recommend the delmonico simply based on the actual cut and price. Instead go with the strip as that cut of beef is from a different part of the cow and great flavor. Good drinks too!

Small brewery's are common in Appalachia. Some have even turned into larger operations, over the…read moreyears. Names like Appalachian Beer Company and Lancaster Brewery come to mind. These places some excellent beer. But they also are restaurants. So, maybe beer is a draw in or the food at times. So with that, Drunk Monkey is a pure brewery. They make, sell, distribute, and promote their own product. As far as promoting, I am not sure they need to do much work as the product has really gotten some attention at the street level. I have seen the main beer showing up at local restaurants the last year. There has also been solid word of mouth. Some of their beers are even winning awards. So it didn't take much convincing from a coworker to get me there before our Nittany Lions came on. The brewery, itself, is a tiny place tucked into an old industrial park that use to be home to one of the largest textile mills in the country. Long abandoned, different smaller businesses now call the park home. One of the more sustained businesses is Fisher's bee farm. That brings us to the brewery. The owner of the bee farm decided to start a brewery near his business. Once finding the brewery, you notice that it is a whole in the wall kinda place. But once entering, the place is organized, clean, and the folks are extremely warm and friendly. Everything is clearly marked. Beer prices are payed out in a sheet on the wall. There is a merchandise rack clearly marked. There are cases clearly marked for type. You can tell this is a place where the people love and care about their beer. The lady manning the shop was knowledgable and friendly. She gave us a preview of the beers and described each one as we taste tested the taps. She then offered us a tour of the small brewery which we jumped on. This definitely plussed the experience and ultimately earned that fifth star. We learned that this particular young lady also hand labels, preps, and fills the bottles. So she does more than just look pretty selling the beer. Now for the beer. I really can't remember all the particular names of the beer. But I had a few favorites. In particular, the German wheat beer was fantastic. That is what I got my growler filled with. Some of the other beers that tasted great, Kraken and one named Mistress or something to that effect. Fittingly, the mistress had a tap handle in the shape of a ship figure head. Speaking of which, all the beers have nautical names based on the folklore of Captain Jack which many local landmarks are named. I have nothing negative to say about Drunk Monkey. They are in an obscure location. The place is small and doesn't look like much from the outside. But like most really great businesses, it is about the knowledge of the people behind the business. Drunk Monkey has plenty of that! If you are in the area on a Wednesday or Saturday, stop in for a taste.
