This cozy wine bar was a fun stop for a PSU weekend, while getting out of the college town. The gentleman that took our order was kind, engaging, and very helpful when we were making our wine selections. We ended up finding wonderful conversation with other patrons inside and thoroughly enjoyed happening upon this place. While they do not serve coffee, there were cheese plate selections that I saw others order. All looked so good!

Stopped into this delightful tasting room while on a road trip. Loved the warm, shop-like…read moreatmosphere, complete with bottles and other items for purchase. My wife and I enjoyed a flight tasting and opted to go with the larger pours (slightly more expensive). Let me just say, they aren't messing around with those larger offerings! They present the glasses in a unique and lovely spiral serving rack, and each sample was closer to a typical glass of wine. There's more than 40 unique offerings on the menu, so we went with a divide and conquer approach. My wife opted for whites and assorted sweet wines, I went with dry reds. As we worked our way down, sharing each other's flights, we found all the wine to be very good. Honestly, we could've bought a bottle of most everything we tasted. We particularly enjoyed the Pinot Noir (see attached label and don't mind the corners, I took the photo as I was removing the label for my wine journal). But what's nice about Seven Mountain is that most anyone can probably find a wine that fits their preferences (or multiple options for that matter). The Petite Sirah, Cab and Merlot are also good choices for dry reds. Plenty of good white choices as well - both the Riesling and the Dry Riesling are excellent, as are the Chardonnay, Vidal and Pinot Grigio. Dry, crisp, flavorful - perfect for pairing with cheeses or fish dishes. If you opt for the larger samples, my one piece of advice would be to budget enough time to drink responsibly. The tasting room is conveniently located near other shops and restaurants, so feel free to make an afternoon of it and support some local businesses.

I got the eggs Benedict and the hollandaise was quite lemony, but something that I really enjoyed. My husband ordered the southern waffles and his was fantastic! My sons waffle was light and the banana foster was yummy. The only suggestion I would have for brunch was to have some more options but with a small staff that can be hard.

The service is average, so I would expect to sit here and relax awhile if you plan to visit. Overall it was a great experience and I would come back again in a heartbeat.

She was excited to serve, attentive to our needs while also giving us space to truly enjoy our meal. Between the delicious food, and let me tell you... those rosemary fries EVERY! THING! they weren't greasy, that had a good crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. I didn't experience one over or under done fry. The crab was plentiful. Not a bunch of fillers. We really enjoyed our experience and plan to make it our new stop when we travel out to PA moving forward. They had a sign with evening activities as well. Seems like the place to be at night. Oh yeah... for the wine drinkers... you're going to want to head here and sip. I had the amazing resiling and it did not disappoint. Semi dry, lightly sweet... yum.

Nice winter specialty drink offers, as well as wine, we had 2 tap beers. Service and communication was on point. Will certainly be back to try other menu options. Only recommendations are cosmetic: loved the penny floor tile in the bathroom, would paint the ceiling tiles black (creates a better dining mood and hides a multitude of imperfections, lastly glass pendant lights need to be cleaned (dust accumulation) Highly recommend!

However, when we walked by Big Spring Spirits inside the Scholar Hotel, we saw a quiet, classy, candlelit bar. We were able to immediately snag a seat at a high-top table for two. Our friendly server brought us a menu, and we loved that we could try a cocktail flight of six 40-ml drinks for only $13. The drinks arrived on a wooden palate and were enough for the two of us to enjoy a variety. All of them were delicious. (You can also try their spirit flights.) What's fun is the drinks are served in beakers. Big Spirits has a bigger place in Bellefonte which we've been to as well. Just be forewarned that they lock their door fairly early. People were trying to get in, and when we opened the door to let them in, we were scolded by one of the bartenders.

Least favorite was that the cocktails that we ordered at the bar before the cocktail-making demo was not included with the prepurchased tickets. Second floor of the restaurant has a lot of taxidermy (not my thing, but may be a lot of other people's), and game tables, like pool. Will be back!
