Library Lounge at Skytop Lodge feels like stepping back in time in the best possible way…read more From the moment you walk in, everything slows down. Dim lighting, big comfortable leather chairs, bookshelves lining the walls, a fully stocked bar, and historic photos throughout the space create a classic lodge vibe that feels timeless without being stuffy. It is cozy, polished, and incredibly relaxing. The staff is knowledgeable and clearly takes pride in what they serve. The craft cocktails are well made and thoughtful, and if you prefer beer, there are solid options there too. As a bourbon lover, I especially enjoyed their private barrel pick served neat, a real treat and easily a standout pour. This is a perfect pre-dinner or post-evening stop, we have done both, and it works beautifully either way. Dress is slightly casual but leans upscale, and while pricing is a bit higher than average, it feels completely worth it for the setting, quality, and experience. We sank into the chairs, talked story with friends, and lost track of time, which really says it all. If you are anywhere near Skytop Lodge, make sure this is on your list. Plan extra time, you will want to linger.

This is probably my favorite restaurant in Scranton. My husband spoke of this place for years when…read morewe lived in Florida, and now that we are in Scranton, we visit regularly, and I often suggest it to my clients. The service is great and personalized, and the food is consistent and delicious. They are also both willing and creative with dietary restrictions - we enjoyed a plain cauliflower crust in replacement of bread to enjoy with the spinach & artichoke dip. Bonus points for non-alcoholic spirits, and an imperceptible transition in ownership, at least from the consumer side. Thank you for leaving things they way they were. Silly to some, but I would change the coasters. If mentioning the group is necessary, I would suggest the 16th Ward by TFG - I think it currently distracts from the immersive experience of dining in a restaurant, and does little for the marketing of the restaurant itself.

I could definitely taste the pickle in there too. We also got the Japanese pancake, which was really good to add a good amount of flavor to it. I was unique from the pizza and it didn't feel like they were reusing different flavors and drinks. They were also very flavorful and good. I definitely see myself coming here again.

The Tarot is one of my favorites, and it comes with a tarot card that you pick yourself! I started with a french fry app called the Scranton Strangler and it was amazing! It was a generous portion with lots of toppings. For an entree I got the steak flatbread which smelled incredible and tasted just as good. My friend got the Buffalo mac and cheese that came in a skull and another got the holy cow Burger, which came in a church shadow box. I tried the apple crisp dessert, which was apple, orange and cranberry that came in a cornmeal type crust that was really good.

Took my best friend to her favorite restaurant, Frank's Place in Simpson for her 50th birthday…read moredinner and WOW. From the second we walked in, the staff made us feel like VIPs. Warm, attentive service without hovering...exactly what you want for a special night. We started with the fried calamari and shrimp cocktails. Calamari was golden, tender, zero rubbery pieces, and the shrimp cocktail was huge, fresh, and perfectly chilled. Already a win. For mains, we went all out: Ribeye Steak cooked to a perfect medium-rare with a great sear, Rack of Lamb that was tender and seasoned beautifully, Lobster Crab & Seafood Fra Diavolo with just the right kick, and the Crab & Shrimp Spinach Fettuccine was creamy, packed with seafood, and didn't skimp on the crab. Every plate came out hot and every bite was spot-on. Portions are generous, vibe is cozy but still feels special enough for a 50th, and they even helped us make the birthday moment memorable. No rushed tables, no attitudejust great food and genuine hospitality. If you're in Simpson or driving through, Frank's Place is worth the stop. We'll be back with more friends in tow. Thanks for making her 50th so perfect!

It sucks because we travel 30 minutes to get here and my mother has a cane and on Mother's Day we were turned away even though we had a reservation (when we called the person must've been new because they said nothing about them closing early) and on Google (which is what my mother uses not every person uses Facebook) they still said 9. We obviously won't come again but the food is good!

We chose the three-cheese round pizza with pepperoni, hot garlic parm wings, and a chicken parmesan hoagie. The pizza resembled typical bar pizza in both appearance and flavor, which was quite disappointing. Perhaps the small pizzas are different, or the larger square slices are made from scratch? I'm unsure. The wings had good flavor but were overcooked; I eat wings with a fork and couldn't even pierce them. While my husband liked his chicken parm hoagie, we're uncertain about returning. Maybe we just visited on an off day.
