Tailored Omelet
Janice C.

Hotel breakfast unbeatable. One of the reasons I continue to come to this hotel is the food at this on property restaurant. Pleasant and courteous waitstaff.

Steak and Eggs with a side of  Bacon

Steak and Eggs is consistently perfect each morning! Fruit is served fresh and the Rye bread is nicely toasted. Breakfast has been delicious all week! Staff is friendly and provides excellent service.

Came here for a wedding as it's attached to a Holiday Inn, and the food was pretty good. Ordered a salmon salad and eventually ordered a pepperoni pizza for the table for a little night cap. The salad was good. I liked that they didn't put the dressing on for you. They brought it out in its own separate cup. The salmon was cooked well, where the salmon kind of fell apart when you broke into it with your fork. The only negative was the pizza seemed like it was a frozen pizza. I know my pizzas and it just didn't have the consistency of a homemade pizza. Oh well, can't always be perfect. I would recommend the salad, I would not recommend the pizza.

Our table was perfectly situated one level up and off from the semi open lounge and piano bar. Our young and very personable, good looking waiter Jonathan, who comes from Delaware and ended up in Johnstown when his father's job transferred him, was everything a server should be. He was very knowledgeable of the wines and bar menu, he was able to advise us as to what were some of the better choices from the dinner menu. He was attentive, charming, right on cue and his bright white smile, jet black hair and blue eyes could launch any ones heart into returning just to enjoy his service again. They have an extensive martini and cocktail menu, my sister in law had a Cosmopolitan and I had a Dirty Martini, both of these were served in a very large chilled cocktail glass. They were seven dollars and change each and were 99% alcohol, powerful stuff and it made me realize once again how weak and over priced the drinks are in the area in which I live. My brother in law had a glass of Shiraz while my sister in law had a Seven Daughter's Syrah blend from California and I had an Italian chardonnay; Pio Cesare L'Altro Piedmont 2007. We were all very pleased with Jonathan's recommendations and he was even kind enough to write them down for us. Harrigan's' has a new tapas menu and it is the only one in town. We were all very excited about this, even though Jonathan was trying to tell us that for sharing we should consider ordering appetizers from the restaurant menu instead, we chose to go with the tapas menu anyway. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink. Our choices to share were the garlic shrimp which were five large "sauteed shrimp in a garlic olive oil, chipolte peppers and deglazed with brandy". Not even close, they were very bland with none of the flavors coming through and it was almost like they had quickly poached cocktail shrimp. The marinated sirloin beef and manchego cheese were both dry and uneventful. Last we had the crispy breaded white anchovies that were over fried and to the point where no anchovy taste came through at all, a very small portion. The tapas were only served with a basket of rolls but we all agreed they were some of the best rolls we ever had and I enjoyed spreading the roasted garlic on mine. I would love to have the recipe for those rolls. I was still stuffed from lunch and the tapas with two rolls pretty well filled me. The stiff over sized cocktail followed by the glass of wine wasn't helping, plus Jonathan had brought me another full glass of wine that he thought I might like, three of us each had one sip and left the rest sit. I don't think any of us can drink the way we used to. I had a bowl of the lobster bisque with tarragon essence for my entree, which was a large portion and quite good along with another roll I was happy. Hubby had the filet mignon and said it was one of the best steaks he has ever had and he normally does not order filet. My brother in law had the Chef's Veal ravioli of the day and raved about them. My sister in law had the shrimp and crab newburg with mushrooms and gruyere cheese, I got to sample the newburg and it was prepared differently than I have ever seen, it was loaded with shrimp and crab, not heavy at all on the sauce and cheese and it was outstanding. They had dessert and I snitched bites, I was still finishing my drinks and bisque. They ordered the pear cheesecake with homemade apple cinnamon ice cream, you know the pear cheesecake was good, but very subtle in pear flavor, the apple cinnamon ice cream was outrageous. I have a feeling my taste buds were drunk, the carrot cake was exactly the way I like it and the peanut butter and cream cheese pie was my favorite. I give Jonathan five big stars, I give the restaurant and it's menu four to five stars as well as the awesome wine list and the amazingly large potent cocktails. The food is fabulous, but skip the tapas here folks, it is not their forte.

Reese's peanut butter pie. Heavenly!!!

Trust me I'm one to roll my eyes when it comes to buffet style dinner but this is one exception where i bee-line straight through the crowds to get my grub on.!!!!!! Harrigan's is one of the classiest restaurant/ bars in Johnstown. I have heard about their grand buffet every Mother's Day which is tradition for some but again discouraged from the " buffet " stigma!!!! Glad i did it!!!!!! The food here was so exceptional and abundant that i am vowing to make it a family tradition!!! I am a carnivore by nature. Could never ever be vegan. In fact most buffets i skip right over all that yuck yuck salad/ veggie stuff and hit the carving stations first thing .... Not this time!!!! In fact i woulda been happy sticking right with these amazing veggies and salads plate after plate!!! ( of course my primal nature got me to the meats eventually...just sayin') Everything from sautéed broccolini with roasted pine nuts, grilled portabella, roasted corn and red peppers, fennel fingerling carrots, marinated grilled asparagus and eggplant... Just perfectly done and so pretty to look at!!! So much more !!! The meats held their own too!!! Carved NY strip and rosemary pork loin were 2 notable mentions. The price might be a bit of a drawback 35.99 for adults and 15.99 for kids in which mine eat like little birds. But worth it for such a special occasion. Service was great for a crowded event and food lines flowed quickly with endless stunning presentations of great dishes. They have a very comfortable and quaint bar with great drinks and a wine patio outside which makes for a great adult meeting place in the summer. Definitely have a new family tradition and a newly sparked intrigue for delicious food year round!!!

Caesar Salad
Madelyn M.

I was so pleasantly surprised with this restaurant! I was treated to a lovely live pianist as I dined. While the weather was dreary and cold, this dining experience lifted my spirits! I started with a glass of their house made Sangria, upgraded my dinner salad to the Caesar and was happily enjoying my meal. When the scallops were delivered to my table I was impressed with the plate presentation. Once I tasted the meal, I was honestly blown away. The scallops were perfectly prepared, tender but done, flavorful but not overly seasoned. Green beans and cheesy grits were also fabulous! The staff was friendly and attentive, and the bartender was good - what else can you ask for? Looking forward to my next trip to Johnstown and trying this place again if I am staying at the attached Holiday Inn (which is, BTW, one of the nicest Holiday Inn properties I've seen)!

Chicken Masala. Very good

Great atmosphere, but I'll never go here to eat again. Horribly overpriced trash. Still worth showing up for adult beverages and live music.

Laurel & Grouse - Smoked Pierogies

Tried Laurel &Grouse recently and it completely blew me away. I went in curious and came out a fan!…read more * Started with the Spicy TunaCrudo -- fresh, light, and with just the right amount of heat. * Then the Smoked Chicken Pierogies -- such a clever nod to local tradition, and they nailed it . * For the main, the Pappardelle with PorkRagu and whipped ricotta was creamy, savory, and comforting -- seriously more of that anytime . Everything tastes homey but polished, like what you'd cook for a special dinner. The vibes are chill but smart -- great spot dropped right into downtown. I've already been back twice!

Laurel & Grouse is a hidden gem tucked away in the heart of Johnstown! Upon entering, you are…read moregreeted with smiling faces and helpful hands. The servers and front of house workers are pleasant and eager to help. The restaurant is rather small with very little seating and a small bar. I had a group of 7 for our Supper Club and they took us shortly after opening so that they could better serve us. Our waitress was super helpful with suggestions and answered any questions that we had about the menu. She was helpful and accommodating, not to mention patient with all of our questions! We indulged in multiple appetizers, different entrées, and even dessert. Here's my review of each part of the meal: Smoked Chicken Pierogies: These pierogies were different and delicious. They were super flavorful, but they were unique and worthy of trying! Foccacia: I cannot say enough good things about their foccacia. It was perfectly soft and plump and included 3 unique dipping sauces that blew me away: red pepperonata, whipped ricotta pepper honey, and pomegranate molasses. I couldn't believe how good all of it tasted! Mustard Glazed Salmon: This dish came with butternut squash hummus & grains. The salmon was cooked perfectly and flavored well with the mustard. I didn't love the grains and the hummus was underwhelming, but it was a unique dish. Blackberry & Pumpkin Crepes: These Crepes were flavorful and delicious. The pumpkin was not overly spiced up so this was a perfect light dessert to end our meal. The blackberry Crepes weren't as flavorful but delicious and nice to try. Other people in my group had the fall lasagna, diver scallops, pub burger, and bolognese, and all dishes got rave reviews! I also had a Pumpkin Espresso Martini. The flavor was great. I was disappointed in the overly salted rim and the lack of espresso beans on top, but I'd drink it again because it was delicious overall. This place was a welcomed surprise and the flavor combinations were unique and different. This place is definitely something to talk about!

Friendly Staff, beautiful decor, private setting, amazing devil eggs & Filet gnocchi Parmesan. Fast…read moreservice.

Y'all they got rid of the steaks!!!!!! I'm so beyond disappointed. Honestly the whole reason I…read morereturned was for the food envy of not ordering the steak the last time I was there. So now....I have been here various times and the food before was excellent. There also appeared to be much more variety before. It doesn't appear now that the restaurant staff and menu supports the initial idea of the place so the whole speakeasy vibe and is now lost in translation. The service this time was good albeit we had another new server so it kind of scares me that on more than one occasion our server was new. It doesn't appear to be a place where they can retain staff. In addition the place was pretty empty, so you would expect The servers to be extra attentive which did not appear to be the case. The food this time was not even memorable. My husband had some salad thing which was pretty standard. But this time nothing wowed me like the first or second time since the original options were greatly reduced or removed. Really kind of sad to see the whole vision for this place to fall apart. I'd say with the menu options now and the standard of service. They are better to scale back completely and rebrand as a lunch spot. Reduce the prices and put out cheaper lunch options. It's giving "it could have been love but it's over now..." Overall would not recommend this place for dinner or couples. But maybe a cool lunch spot for working professionals or ladies who lunch.
