We had arrange for a graduation dinner here at 8:30 pm for 8 people. Shortly before we headed to the restaurant they called to make sure we were still coming we I thought was odd. This is where they could have righted a wrong by telling us they were very low on entrees and give us the option to decide to go somewhere else. 4 of the 6 dinner entrees weren't available, mashed potatoes were out. Most of the appetizers were also out. We ended up getting the last 4 small empanadas, 2 pretzels and 2 salads then decided to leave it was 9:30 pm by this time. We ended up at McDonalds yay. They did tried to work with us but it wasn't going to work for us. The bartender was snooty I won't get into that. The food is pricey and what we ate wasn't spectacular. They may have been off that night but again they could have gave us a heads up when they check in with us a hour before we arrived. Graduations dinner ruined.

I was disappointed with our most recent visit to The Field…read more We were here in January and had an excellent experience. The service was spot on, the food was cooked perfectly, the burgers were very tasty, the criss-cut sweet potato fries with hot honey and vinegar salt were fantastic, and the shakes were delicious. That first visit was memorable enough that we were excited to come back. This time, we waited about 50 minutes at around 5:30PM on a Thursday before graduation weekend. Honestly, that part was understandable, and we were prepared for a wait. We had a nice booth for five and ordered table fries, a few shakes, and five burgers. The fries were still excellent, and the shakes were great. Unfortunately, the burgers and service did not live up to the previous visit. My burger tasted more like stewed meat than seared beef, almost as if it had been sitting for a while. It was overcooked and under-seasoned. Our server was pleasant enough, but several sides, condiments, and modifiers were forgotten. Waters were never refilled, the table was not cleared, and a salad that had been misordered was not removed from the bill. I understand it was a busy night, but at around $40 per person for food at a burger place, I expected more consistency. I'll give The Field another try the next time I'm in town because our first experience was so good, but this visit was a letdown.

After four years, there aren't many places we haven't visited in the area. However, Duffy's Tavern…read morehas been on my radar for a while. We made reservations for a Sunday night. When we got there, the sign said Boalsburg Tavern. We later found out they're still Duffy's, but the sign had blown off. They were also quite busy, but fortunately we had made a reservation. The restaurant, in an old stone house, has a number of smaller rooms (one with a fireplace), along with a small bar and enclosed side patio. We were seated there. Even though it was a porch, it was warm as the baseboards were at our feet. Our friendly server Sara greeted us right away, but it took 30 minutes (Really!) to get our two cocktails which were not complicated. Fortunately, our baked Brie appetizer immediately followed. It was tasty and accompanied by 6 pieces of crostini. We even like the cranberry compote. I ordered the Coq Au Vin which was delicious. The stewed chicken, mixed with potatoes and carrots, sat atop mashed potatoes. Although not exactly like the French Coq Au Vin, it was still tasty. My daughter ordered the Seafood Alfredo but thought it was just okay with only a few pieces of shrimp and crabmeat mixed in with the pasta. My husband said his raviolis topped with chicken were plain. Overall, a relaxing dinner in an interesting setting although the food was mixed, and no explanation was given for the cocktails taking 30 minutes.

The menu was great and service was quick, then we ordered the burrata as an appetizer. Mentioned the nut allergy in our group and the server had said that they can't guarantee anything in the kitchen is safe to eat although some menu items didn't have nuts on them. The menu also says this, and maybe it's unfair to give this spot a four but in my experience restaurants shouldn't be mixing items in their dishes and there are pretty good safe serve/allergy friendly practices out there to follow and I've never had any issues. This is the first time I got a response at an American grill that they can't serve anything. Maybe it's just new to me and they're being extra cautious which is not wrong, and this place came highly recommended so I'm sure it's earned more stars, but would love to hear opinions on allergies and places that don't have "safe" serving spaces for nut allergies. Even the creamery had a nut free station

Hubby enjoyed his IPA flight and took a 4-pk. Glad they have that purchase option. Food - it's totally fine. Just fine. But really not better than that.

I really want to rate it higher, because my son's name is Otto. But it is what it is. Go for the beer.

The staff is SO incredibly welcoming and friendly, and always points us towards great dishes (shoutout to Kip, whenever he's my server I always just order whatever he recommends!). So far some of my favorites have been the espresso-crusted venison (winter 2025-26) and the ramp risotto (spring 2026). It's rare to find a place with so much passion for local ingredients and showcasing the season. This is the obvious spot for a celebration or to impress your out-of-town guests. The place is also gorgeous. It's cozy without being dark. The staff always welcomes you and checks in frequently. I also want to give a shoutout to the cocktails. Everything here is very well crafted and there's great variety. I also love the wines. The list is extensive, but you can't go wrong choosing a bottle from the seasonal highlights on the menu. Even if you don't have time for dinner, it's worth stopping at the bar just for a drink!
