It was packed. We were greeted and seated immediately. Our server was wonderful even though it was only her second day. The food was exactly what we were expecting and overall we were happy with our choices. I did give this restaurant a 3/5 for how chaotic the restaurant felt. They made a couple take their drinks and belongings and move to a different table so we didn't have to sit at a high top with a toddler which we appreciated but aAlso, 3 different waitresses delivered 3 wrong food items to our table.

The place has sports or movies on every T.V. Which makes any waiting much more enjoyable. I have gotten the BLT and the chicken sandwich which were super yummy. My boyfriend had the spaghetti and meatballs and he swears they are the best around. The drinks are definitely the best part, they are creative, delicious, and like nothing else around. It is worth a drive to be here, because the vibe is a very far step up from a sports bar, and is excellent in every aspect. Service, food, drinks...10/10. I will be back again and again!

My friends and I dined at Bluegills on our girls weekend. Upon arriving we let them know we had a…read morereservation. The young man who seated us was not very kind. We asked if there was a chance we could sit outside and before I even finished asking he snapped back "No!" Our waitress was the manager that night and she was so sweet and helpful. The drinks ordered were craft cocktails and they were so good! When the food came out it was hot, fresh, and delicious. Those who ordered steak said it was cooked perfect. I personally got the short rib ravioli which had a deep smoky flavor and the most refreshing sauce. The dining area itself is on the smaller side but there was plenty of room to sit. Outside was gorgeous! While that young man who seated us did also make some rude remarks to his co workers, we did bring it up to our waitress and she assured us he was joking. Overall, the total wasn't bad for small town fine dining. When we finished our meal, we enjoyed listening to Uncle Mark and the Chunky Bunch perform some great covers. We also enjoyed drinks from the outdoor tiki bar! I would recommend!

They are in a dead zone for cell phone service and don't provide the wifi (apparently spotty at best anyway) password to guests. So you can't text friends about meeting up or even check in on Yelp or other sites. Very disappointing- especially when I wa trying to tell my sister some important news. I like the vibe & there was a ton on the menu I'd love to try, but the lack of cell phone or WiFi service makes it somewhere you don't want to go if you need to be reachable for emergencies or want to contact friends.

We chose to eat outside in their beautiful garden, which made for the perfect setting. I ordered the Hawaiian-style poke bowl, and it was absolutely delicious! The portion was very generous, with plenty of fresh ahi tuna. One of the highlights of our visit was meeting a brother and sister who were also traveling from out of town. We ended up sharing a table and great conversation, which made the experience even more memorable. The service was excellent. We asked our server for a recommendation, and he suggested the poke bowl--and I'm so glad he did! Everyone in our group loved their meal. If we're ever back in the area, we will definitely return. I highly recommend The Knickerbocker!

After couple hours of walking around Altoona,I wasn't very excited to try this place,it's looked…read moreshabby,it was construction work everywhere around,dusty and dirty. But we decided to not spend more time for finding something else and stepped in. It was very charming,surprisingly well kept,of course old,but in a good way. Menu was intriguing,modern and seasonal,which I value the most. Waiter was engaging in our menu exploration and was knowledgeable. Now to the food.. cauliflower appetizer made as General Tso was one other best cauliflower in my entire life. Lightly fried,not mushy,but with exact chicken like texture in divine sauce,kicking spicy with sweet undertones. In the same way not overpowering to forget about cauliflower itself. A+ for that dish!!! Pirogi was a little doughy on my opinion,but taste was good. Asian bowl with salmon had great flavor profile: cabbage salad was beautiful and freshly crisp,carrots were marinated perfectly with slight vinegary flavors,bok choy was unbelievably delicious. I asked for medium salmon,mine was almost well done,but taste was good and rice in the middle wasn't sticky and flavorful,but had watery texture and was bland. Overall,this is an amazing festival of flavors and technically challenging menu. Bravo!!!
