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.

The pizza here was really good. I would definitely get it again. We got the pickled pizza and it…read morereally tasted unique. The crust was nice and crispy. I could definitely taste the pickle in there too. We also got the Japanese pancake, which was really good to add a good amount of flavor to it. I was unique from the pizza and it didn't feel like they were reusing different flavors and drinks. They were also very flavorful and good. I definitely see myself coming here again.

I got a steak and…read morecheese with peppers, mushrooms, and onions (plus it came with a side of fries) and it was overflowing out of the bun. Some places have the middle of the bun filled but the ends pretty sparse, but that is not the case here! Every single bite was filled with steak and cheese. It was beyond delicious and ranks as one of THE best I've ever had. It was crave worthy for sure! I actually couldn't finish and had the rest for dinner. Our server was a lovely young girl who was extremely attentive. She came back multiple times to check on us and get us soda refills. Once we finished, we sat and talked a while, and she kept coming back to check on us even after we paid. It wasn't crowded, and she told us no rush. It is a very comfortable atmosphere and even has a separate dining room area on the other side of the bar area. I am usually not a fan of eating in a bar area, but the setup here is great. I was perfectly happy eating at a high top in the bar.

Madame Jenny's is a treasure that we must protect at all costs. I am so glad that they reopened. It's a wonderful speakeasy and by far the nicest bar in a 100+ mile radius. The atmosphere is top notch. It gives you an excuse to dress up nicely and have a wonderful evening. Classy would be a good one-word description I think. I like to dress up in a suit or business-casual outfit and take my girlfriend her in a nice dress. It's so fun to look amazing and enjoy this quiet and secluded bar that has great live music, excellent cocktails, and the best atmosphere around.

If you proposed at Applebees I don't judge you and I wish you a long and happy marriage. My waitress was a delight. Could not have been nicer. Went above and beyond. I had a chili lime chicken bowl? Something like that. It was fine. Big portion. Fair price. But it was annoying that the salad is so cold that it sucked the heat out of the hot rice so it was ice cold once I got past the top layer. Poor bowl construction. Unless the rice started cold? I don't know. Rice was cold. Ambiance? It looks like every other Applebees TGI Fridays, Houlihans, Benigans. Those last two might be closed.

My friend got the Buffalo mac and cheese that came in a skull and another got the holy cow Burger, which came in a church shadow box. I tried the apple crisp dessert, which was apple, orange and cranberry that came in a cornmeal type crust that was really good.
