lovely place with great food and served with unique presentation. the 23% gratuity tacked on puts question of the value

Visited recently for the first time with my wife and a friend. Had four appetizers and a couple of drinks each... the ambience was outstanding... but was surpassed by the food... the only downside was that the drinks were a tad expensive, and they had a mandatory 20% gratuity 'due to Covid'. I normally tip 20% for good service, but 'mandatory' bothers me... . Had the food and service not been good, there would have been a discussion with the management.. Sadly, due to Covid, several menu choices we were looking forward to were not available... ( Steak frites, escargot, poutine) . I hope they're back soon... read more

12/2018 Rubicon is a sophisticated spot that family, friends & I have come for a few special occasions. We spend a fair amount of time mulling over the French menu choices. Then, we enjoy the wonderful ambiance & decor. First level has a bar & tables. There was live jazz music during our most recent visit. Upstairs seating area is a bit quieter. I've liked my food & some shared samplings of others'. Service is nice. Note: Call ahead for reservations. read more

Rubicon - Lobster Roll & Matchstick Potatoes @Rubicon - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

Having been to Rubicon several times I have, overall, been impressed with their food. It's French, but there are several dishes that are Vietnamese inspired (France colonized Vietnam for 5-6 decades, so it is not surprising they adopted some of the dishes and flavors) and Rubicon does these dishes justice. The Poulpe has been delicious each time I have ordered it. In fact, I am not sure if I was extra hungry or it was just that delicious, but I ordered two on my last visit, as well as dinner. For something a little lighter, try the Bahn Mi - the bread is perfectly crusty and the flavor combination is wonderful! My sister ordered the Poulet Colombo and on another visit I had the Boeuf Bourguignon, both were very pleasant. Though the food has been spot on, each time, the drinks are not great. I am pretty sure we had flat champagne in my French75 the last time and the service is sssslllloooowwww! Opt for a wine with your dinner and make sure you have time to just sit and enjoy the company and atmosphere - you aren't getting out of here in a hurry :) read more

Ten stars if I could! EXCELLENT! I'm so impressed- everything was impeccable from beginning to end. Attached are some pictures of the menu item we ordered. Steak, salmon, morels and great drinks- we were in heaven! read more

Rubicon - New Year's Eve started at the Rubicon, what a great night it was! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

This review is based on my experience there tonight. February 17th. I have been going to this restaurant for two years. The service is generally wonderful. The food is great. The restaurant is beautiful and based on my prior experience I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. However, tonight was the first time I felt prejudicial behavior. I got to the restaurant around 7:30pm. I sat at the bar. I waited for a while to be acknowledged. That was fine. It was a little busy. Eventually the heavier set male bartender approached me about my order. I asked him for a drink. I also asked him what the weekend specials were. The moment I said "specials" , he looked annoyed. He responded by telling me he's not sure what Im talking about as the restaurant does not have specials. This response was followed by him walking away from me, in a dismissive manner, and also telling the other bartender I was asking for specials and he let me know they didnt have any. This was odd to me because usually on the weekends they do have specials. Also that is the description of the menu. They're called "specials". The bartenders and servers, refer to that menu as "specials". This is the nomenclature they use. Keep in mind these are not cheaper meals. The Specials reflect something that they are specifically serving that weekend thats not on the. menu normally. Two minutes later, after dismissing my question, I see him walk over to another group of people sitting at the bar, and he clearly and loudly says "Hi. So let me tell you about our specials tonight". Naturally I was flabbergasted. When he came back to where I was seated, I asked him why he told me there were no specials, and what exactly did he think I meant when I asked him about Specials. He claimed, he was confused and not thinking. I also watched him offer everyone water.....except me. So I had to ask him if and when he had the time would he get me some water. He responded by saying "oh wow. Im just messing up tonight." To which I responded by saying, "You seem to be messing up specifically with me for some reason". Now I'll admit I was dressed in a hoodie and a baseball cap. Im not sure if this impacted his service towards me, or if it was the most obvious difference between me and the rest of the patrons. You can guess what that was, if that is the case. I want to be clear. I, in no way, think this is the culture of the restaurant. Ive had great food and great service there in the past. This is possibly a reflection of that one bartender. This is the first time I ever felt uncomfortable in there. And I hate that its making me hesitate about going there again because overall this place is pretty awesome. read more

Fabulous!!! The food was spectacular. I had the clams and linguine. My husband is enjoying the Fire Fly martini, which was delicious. We wanted to share our experience with the very talented chef. She was very gracious and appeared at our table. The wait staff were friendly and knowledgeable. I wish I could remember the name of our server. We live in NJ but cant wait to get back for another meal. I'm wowed. read more

Verdict: Could be a 5 but I've only been once. I'll have to return to find out. Came here for a Yelp event and they treated us very well. Plenty of samples of the food they offer and I would recommend anything that comes out of their kitchen. Oyster starts with an O but their oysters also end with an "Ooh, that was pretty darn tasty." They do all the work of preparing them so you can just throw one back and enjoy the nicely added seasoning. The bacon wrapped dates might've been my favorite because I'd forgotten how much I like the salty bacon with the sweetness of the date. It was well prepared too. The ambiance here shows they paid a lot of attention when decorating. I'm sure everyone notices the chandeliers and the items by the windows upstairs. Plenty of pictures to show off the interior. We were lucky enough to have an unusually warm Spring day so the doors were open and life was good. Lots of competition for your business in downtown Harrisburg. Rubicon is worth a stop because not everyone is going to have the type or quality of food you'll find here. read more

Have you experienced Rubicon? Tonight was my second visit, and both experiences were luxurious, fresh, and fondly memorable. See the attached pictures to fill in the gaps between my descriptions. This evening was hosted by Yelp for their elite reviewers in Central PA. My wife is the elite. I'm the "+1", as they say - along for the pleasure at the event. However, out of gratitude, here's my tasteful opinion, which I hope informs your decision to try this restaurant. Stateside Vodka sponsored the beverages, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The first was a lemon fennel mixture, which was light and friendly. The second drink was comprised of blackberry, ginger, and Thai basil. Both drinks were masterfully made, and tasted like the essence of the description that was provided. Stateside vodka is very smooth, so the result was clean and refreshing. We were served delicious hors d'oeuvres, including my first experience with a raw oyster! The oysters were topped with diced red onions. The flavor was clean and lightly salty, like you would expect from a high end sushi bar. The texture was like a Dutch egg noodle. I would easily do it again, and now I can check that box off of my bucket list. Some of the other appetizers were asparagus, chives, and goat cheese in a what may have been a rice wrapper (I cannot remember). You must try the bacon wrapped date with cheese and almond, if you have not already tried a similar masterpiece elsewhere. The last two items were salmon, cheese, capers, and scallions on a baguette , followed by a potato fritter with a dollop of "Big Mac" sauce. This was all included for free to the Yelpers. We decided to order entree's, so I went with the mussels, and my wife ordered the lobster roll. The mussels were similar to the little Bantry Bay variety that I occasionally get from Giant, but they were 3x larger. Normally, I prefer smaller shellfish, but these were fresh, clean, beautiful, and served in a hot, buttery, onion and scallion infused broth with a fresh little baguette to dip and enjoy as I went along my mermaid ‍ way. I tried a bite of my wife's lobster roll, and would rank it among the best that I've had so far, although admittedly, I'm fairly new the lobster roll club. I tried several different lobster rolls from various locations in New England over the past few years, and like apple or pumpkin pie, I have found many tasty variations, so your mileage may vary. We decided to wrap up the meal with some of the best macarons that we have ever consumed in heaven. The six flavors (raspberry, pistachio, almond, lemon, chocolate, and mocha) were distinct, pure, and fulfilled the dream in your mind with some chocolate drizzle. We enjoyed some coffee to close out the extravagance with a smile of gratitude for the ambience and fantastic dining experience. Our server Joshua was very attentive, professional, and fun. Thank you! read more

AMAZING food. We just moved to this area from NJ/NY and tbh I didn't think Harrisburg would have this level of dining. To my surprise they use Don Q in their rum drinks and was the cherry on top! The tabla was my favorite. Lots of flavors bursting in my mouth. The Zuppa di Pesce was great and the Duck special spectacular. Super happy about having found this place. read more

We visited right before Thanksgiving. This was our first time back since moving out of state early in the year. The ladies that run Rubicon, Mangia Qui, and Suba never disappoint. At this time during the pandemic, they only have the Rubicon location open and the menu is very creative. They did away with the French cuisine. Of course, the wine is always very well curated. We had the octopus appetizer which had an interesting presentation with one long tentacle and two baby octopi. It was a struggle to pick entrées because everything sounded amazing. I'm writing this a week late so I'm only going to focus on the rockstar of the evening: the can-can. This is a Puerto Rican cut. It is a 1+ inch slice of half of a pig with the chop and the belly intact. It had two preparations with the second one being fried. I have never seen this before and probably never will again. It was truly something. So delicious. So fatty... melts in your mouth. Yes, I included a photo of that one;). I had the sea scallops risotto dish but honestly, there was no comparison to the Can-can. That is the one to get. read more

Good food. Beautiful place. Not cool to automatically add on 23% gratuities. We will go to Lancaster for finer dining experiences.

Rubicon is a place ment to sit, nibble, inhale, and simply indulge on the rare and exciting concoctions they present! Very knowledgeable about their wines and food pairings, Rubicon will be an experience worth every penny! I can personally recommend their charcuterie. The General Managers take pride in their knowledge of wines and cheese pairings. This can make or break a meat and cheese platter. I recommend coming here for an intimate dinner. The environment is impressive as is the industrial, euro-chic decor. Very chill! Highly reccommend! read more

I've been wanting to try this place ever since they opened, and last week on one of the coldest frigidest nights of the winter, we finally made it out! We made reservations but since it was so cold we barely needed too. I would have enjoyed sitting upstairs, as per reviews, it's quieter and more romantical. We were sat by the door, which on occasion we felt cold drafts. Our server was very pleasant and helpful, we ordered beverages. My hubby got some cocktail with whiskey which was ideal for the cold night, I wasn't feeling alcohol so I asked for a ginger beer or soda contraption. I believe he told the bartender to make a mocktail with ginger as requested, but it wasn't gingery. It tasted like a plum syrup, and I drank it all, although I really would have liked what I requested. On to appetizers, I ordered the oysters Rockefeller and hubs the octopus salad. The oysters came on a bed of fine salt with some crispy fried onions which were delicate and sweet, but the ones on the bottom of the pile inedible because of the salt stuck to it. The oysters were sweet, the spinach sauce more loose than some I've had but clean tasting and nice. The octopus salad was succulent and meaty, not fishy at all! Crisp pickling cucumbers and shallots with a tangy rice wine vineagar paired so nicely. Absolutely the best octopus I've ever eaten. I ordered the Robiesspiere steak, "MARKET PRICE" which I heard good things about, which comes with baby potatoes in a fondue cheese. Aaron ordered the faux banh mi. The steak came out on a wooden cutting board with a dome lid, with pizazz. I dug in with gusto, it was charred nicely with a very salty smoked salt exterior. There was no way one can finish this hunk of meat in one sitting, unless maybe that's ALL one ate. It was good, but actually not my favorite steak in the world. The banh mi was only so so, it was a nice take on it, but real banh mi are way better in my book. Dessert...we ordered the macaroni sampler, which we confirmed are made there. They came with a melted chocolate dipping sauce. We ordered coffee and cappuccino and savored every morsel of these FANTASTICAL macarons! They were so tasty and soft and crunchy and flavorful. That was to me, the best part of the meal. Now...during the course of the meal we were asked numerous times by multiple staff if everything was hunky Dory with our meal. After the check came, we could see why...this meal was...Steel yourselves...$158.00!!! I felt sick, I was actually up all night fretting over that $74.00 steak. Omg! The experience was not a mistake but holy cow. We made steak and eggs for breakfast the next day, and then I boiled the shit out of that bone and made a pot of soup for my family with it. So...in conclusion, beautiful restaurant, fantastic food, you might want to STEER clear of the steak Third time here! Dec. 2018...I came for the Percebes! (Gooseneck barnacles) a true delicacy. Always a fun beautiful restaurant although so pricey we can only indulge once or so a year. read more

Oysters. Happy hour oysters. It's what got my hubby and I here for date night. Parking: We all know downtown parking could be a challenge but you know what? Rubicon offers FREE valet parking Fri and Saturday nights between 5-11pm!!! Ambiance: We were seated upstairs at a small table. The ambiance was nice and cozy. Lights were dim and romantic with soft music in the background for white noise. If you get a table by the window, you get a view of the Capitol. Unfortunately for us, the tables were for larger groups. Food: Hubby and I are foodies. We love to try new things and is always up for an adventure. We didn't have a huge appetite but wanted to try a variety. Oysters ($1 each, bakers dozen 13 for $12) raw oysters accompanied with pickled red onion, vinegar sauce. Different. But sooo good. We ended up ordering 2 bakers dozen Poulpe (grilled octopus, avocado, pickled red onion) this was good but not what I had expected with the pickled red onion from oysters. If I knew it was the same as the dipping sauce for the oysters, I would've ordered something else. Escargot En Croute (snail) so good with the garlic herbs. Would definitely order again Le Haute Dog (duck hotdog with super thin crispy potatoes) perfect dish to go with everything we ordered. The crispy chips were very addicting!!!! Drinks: Rośe were $5/glass for happy hour. I was a happy camper. $5 a glass? Until it came out...it was more like a tasting glass amount instead of an actual pour. Nevertheless, it was good and I ordered a couple more. Service: Top notch, very attentive staff. I took away 1 star because my glass of Rośe could've been filled a bit more and because our table was so tiny! A bakers dozen of oysters and there were no room for anything else. Overall, awesome place to go for a night out. Will definitely be back read more

We stumbled upon this establishment while trying to find a place for a nice Valentines Day dinner. I'm glad we found it. The employees were exceptionally nice and professional. The drinks were great pretty tasty with a good balance of flavor and alcohol content. The filet mignon was well seasoned and the potatoes were divine. The only thing that left me a bit disappointed was the salmon. It could have been cooked a little more and was pretty devoid of seasoning. Besides the salmon the experience was excellent. I wish I could give it 4.5 stars. read more

I really like the food here and the service has always been phenomenal. I have tried their steak, short rib, and oysters and all have been delicious. The only reason I am not giving this place five stars is simply because the menu is not that easy to understand due to me not knowing French. This may sound like a poor reason but it is just a little frustrating when I order a glass of wine and have no idea what I am about to get. I probably should ask but I am not the type of person to do that. I would definitely recommend this place to others though. read more

Rubicon has amazing ambiance, as you walk in you see a large centrally located bar and as you look up the ceiling opens up into the second level seating area, creates a pretty nice grand feeling. We came to eat on a tuesday evening, it wasn't packed so we were seated immediately. We got an order of the happy hour bakers dozen oysters. They were amazingly fresh and tasty, so good, we ordered another. The entrees weren't too bad, but slightly off target for portion size. My fiance ordered the entrees portion of the foies gras, and what came out was a slice of foies gras that we're typically used to seeing in an appetizer, accompanied by half a red wine poached pear and 3 slices of bread. I guess we were expecting too much from an entree at $24, where as a typical foies gras appetizer can run about $18...I guess the "entree" nomenclature kind of threw us off, a portion size this small should really be considered an appetizer. My fiance is tiny weighing in at 90lbs wet, and if it weren't for the oysters and 1/4 of my entree she'd probably still be hungry. My entree was sized to our liking, I had the beef bourguignon. The braised beef was tender and succulent. Comes with mashed potatoes, some root veggies and mushrooms on top. The red wine sauce could have used a bit more salt, in my opinion, but everything else was good. The waitress we had was great. She was attentive, positive and always had a smile. She didn't hesitate to bring anything we asked for. On the second floor, two clean single unisex bathrooms. I'm unsure of the first floor. Over all I'd definitely come back and try other entrees. read more

Every time I have come here the ambiance, service and menu selection is on point. The drinks are perfectly blended and chilled and innovative. There is always champagne flowing and everything has a french flare. The lighting is dim and seductive. There is a nice variation in customers and servers. Makes for a different experience each time I dine here. There are two levels so you can choose the wrap around bar or bar side seating or upstairs private circular seating area. There are large bay windows upstairs with seating IN them! So cool!! New hot spot! Come one, come all. Ask for Andrew the bartender. He will contribute to a rock'n night out!

Now that I've had their real meals - I got the steak frites, turtle soup, house salad, cheese plate, salmon, and drinks. I am sold. Not only did we have such great service but their food is on point. I loved my steak frites with their in house crispy fries. I had mine medium and it was perfect!!! But the crown jewel for me is the cheese plate. I am in love. Their variety of cheeses paired perfectly with the jam and in house bread. I got the 5 cheese spread and will be coming back. The salmon as not over cooked and tender. It was super light compared to the steak but delicious just the same! I need to check back and try the 1 dollar oysters for happy hour. I'll let you all know how it goes! For drink - I had the damsel in distress or something with damsel. I highly recommend it. This place has now made the must show list to my cousin to the list. read more

Been here 4-5x's. Great spot to take a date and try some menu items you typical don't see/get in the HBG area. Cocktails are good, bit pricey like every spot in midtown/Downtown area. Last time out I had the Octopus small plate and it was money! One of the better "small plate" dishes I've had in awhile. Everything from the charred avocado, w/ the shallots, cucumber & Vinaigrette worked incredibly well with the octopus. Wanted more "heat" from the Habanero Vinaigrette, but it was damn good. Burger was top notch too! Worth the $14 for grass fed beef and you gotta have the Frites/fries! Again, it's a bit pricey here but it's worth the quality! *hope they bring back the Duck Cassoulet read more

A definite stop when in Harrisburg; happy hour oysters and champagne! That is what we had as our app and the meal just got better from there. The salad with fresh beets and goat cheese was excellent and we shared the steak with a bottle of Bordeaux. Limited wine list, BUT very reasonable priced and well paired with the meals. Finished dinner off with baked Alaska, my favorite restaurant in PA and maybe in US. This will be a stop for me every time I do business in Harrisburg. I had to go back! The food here is amazing. The staff is great, the atmosphere is nice and the cocktails are great. Almost makes me want to move to Harrisburg so I can enjoy more often!!! read more

Need I say more. If you have not been here....... then get here people. The decor of what they have done inside this place is amazing as I have previously posted. I won't decrease my review of 5 stars but the bartender tonight was off his game and I will leave it at that. Thankfully the women who was on bar with him was spot on and helped him pull his shit together. Hands down the Best mussels that I have had in years. Being a New England native I will put these mussels up against any I've had in my 41 years of being alive. The Maison Mussels are great. Plump, beautiful orange color and the broth was unbelievable. Filled with leeks, garlic, & fresh herbs & butter. It also comes with a nice crispy french baguette to sopp up the extra broth. We've been here a few times and yet again we find ourselves here again with friends from up North. You got to get here people and enjoy the experience here.

Excellent, knowledgeable staff; delicious food; generously poured, expertly crafted drinks, and a sophisticated yet comfortably accessible ambience. Loved it. The Dinosaur and I came here to share a drink with a very special 94 year-old family friend. We were all treated wonderfully, the drinks (her usual Manhattan, his now-usual Sazerac) were proclaimed to be excellent (they are both picky about their "signature" drinks), and our server slipped our food order in just as happy hour ended. My croque monsieur was lovely. We fully plan to return for some steak frites next time we visit. read more

A big fan of Mangia Qui and Suba, so I was really looking forward to eating here. First visit on Friday, November 21st 2014. I waited a little bit as they just opened this year, and I wanted all the kinks to be worked out. Overall, very good and flavorful food! We ordered three apps and one entree to share. The menu has a limited number of entrees which is understandable given the French bistro vibe they are going for. The bread special was excellent - mascarpone cheese with shaved black truffles. We also had the frog legs tempura and the beets with candied pecans. They both were very good. The steak frites entree was good, but the meat was a little too rare for my taste (asked for medium rare). Luckily I ate the sides and my wife ate the middle. For dessert we had the macaroons that apparently are imported from France - fantastic. Overall a good dining experience. Service was also good. Food prices are fair. I was a little surprised at the cost of single malts. I paid $56 for two Oban's, which at $79/bottle seemed steep to me. We will be back! read more

Having eaten out with a client at the restaurant next door, Mangia Qui, I had to try Rubicon. It was my birthday and the meal I had with my family was just fantastic. We started with cocktails and enjoyed an appetizer of a savory fish stew with mussels, squid, shrimp and scallops. I tried the Filetto which was a filet mignon with creamed watercress, kennett square mushroom whip and parmigiano dusted matchstick potatoes which added a nice crunch. My 13 year old daughter tried it as well and she enjoyed it. My wife order the duck magret served with a creamy polenta, herb stracciatella, apricot, cranberry and amarena cherries. She said it was amazing. Desert was some sort of "death by chocolate" concoction that I don't remember only that paired with an espresso was a pleasurable finale to a wonderful meal. I also need to mention the interior design of this gem of an establishment is dazzlingly beautiful. High marks for Rubicon. It's a very popular place so make sure you reserve in advance. You will be glad you did. read more

Poutine and lobster rolls are on point! Beautiful interior and a real gem in Harrisburg. Josh was a great server that really knew the menu and was able to offer some advice while ordering. The tables are awkwardly high, and the bench seating was annoying as it moved with every adjustment of your neighbors tush. Despite that, my experience here was just that... an experience. A lovely enough time to have enjoyed myself, but something I only needed to do once. This won't be a regular spot, but definitely a suggestion to fellow friends! read more

Everything about this restaurant was excellent. From the person who greeted us at the door, our server, the mid waiters and the chef. They were attentive, thoughtful and accommodating. We called ahead for a champagne toast and the set it up and executed perfectly as soon as we were all seated. The food was fabulous every dish at each course was creative and delicious. They also made the best flan and panna cotta I have had anywhere in the country in 5 years. I will go back every time I am in Harrisburg read more

Pricey, but well worth it. If you want a cheap burger and fries then go to a drive in. But if you want craft cocktails and fresh "farm to table" food then this is your place. Had a great margarita that featured a habanero infused tequila, then a very minty mojito. Appetizers consisted of a caprese salad with what I swear was mozzarella cheese that was made that day. So fresh and full of flavor. The highlight was the aged steak. It was $68 but it turned into two meals for me. One at the restaurant and the second at home the next day when I threw together a stir fry of the steak leftovers. Steak was prepared to perfection, full of flavor but pretty heavy on the salt. The only thing I wasn't really fond of was the pepper dipping sauce for the potatoes. Not a great fan of peppers and asked for simple ketchup. Not a hit on the restaurant, just personal preference. Would definitely dine here again as I understand their seasonal menu changes. read more

My experience here was fantastic. We we're celebrating my birthday dinner earlier this week and it coincided with Mardi Gras. Rubicon was celebrating the Carnivaal, the entire staff and setting was Carnivaal themed and all the servers were wearing masks. Our server Rachel was very attentive and nice. The service was quick and every item we ordered, delicious. I ordered the pompano and it was outstanding. The guava cake and toasted coconut flan were mouth watering. If only I had some more space in my tummy, I'd have ordered a second round of desserts. Thank you for making my time special. We will definitely be back to experience the natural state of Rubicon. The best food I've ever had in Harrisburg so far. read more
