Great food. Great service. Great pricing. Good time for all. Make a reservation if possible. We just happened to try and go during a birthday party and got stuck kinda waiting for a few moments but no worries. It was all worth the wait. And the ambience is very chill. Good stuff. read more

If you're looking for something a bit upscale, there aren't many options in this area. Based on our Yelp research - the photos, the menu, and the 4+ star rating - we decided to try the Mansion House. It's a beautiful building and the chairs are comfortable. But everything else was disappointing. For starters, they sell Guinness beer - but only in cans!! Why bother? The onion rings we ordered for our appetizer seemed like something you'd find in the freezer section at Weis. The sauces provided on the side help with the taste, but they still have the made-in-a-factory texture. Not hand- battened and messy. For the main course, I ordered the salmon special which sounded delicious - cooked in some kind of bourbon-apple concoction - but it turned out to be meh! The chicken Caesar salad that my wife ordered was, if nothing else, a great value because it included what had to be over a pound of chicken! If you're the type that likes sharing entrees, you should consider the chicken Caesar salad. Overall the ambiance was nice and the service was okay, but the food was overpriced and nothing to get excited about. read more

The only reason I'm giving this place a two star review is because the chef wouldn't give me angle hair pasta with my shrimp scampi because the special of the night was shrimp scampi with additional seafood and capers. The chef said there would not be enough angle hair pasta for the special. Makes No Sense! Service was great! Our server was attentive and friendly. Ambiance was okay. One half of the house was warm and well decorated for the holidays. The other half (where we were seated) was chilly. read more

The Mansion House - Shrimp Scampi - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Summit Hill, Pennsylvania

I cannot express how impressed my wife and I were at this restaurant with absolutely EVERYTHING! The food, the ambiance, the service 10/10! Just moved to the area, my wife and I decided, this will be our "Date night" spot! Truthfully, I'll be eating here more often than not. read more

Reservation @5:30 and it started out with drinks. Prosecco was flat. Room was an icebox and had to keep ur coats on. We ordered our food and it didn't come out until 7:30. I asked the manager why it took an hour and a half to make 3 platters. They claimed the kitchen made a mistake and sent a so called shrimp scampi to another table. My wife ordered chicken scampi. My shrimp scampi was made with white pasta with hardly any flavor to this dish and my wife's dish. I could have found a drunk in summit hill to cook these dishes. Absolutely terrible service and the food was bland and taste less. My mother in law got scallops and they were over salted and unbeatable. U could have thrown the sweet potato through the window. Eat here at your own health. read more

The Best in every aspect ! The food is always delicious! The owners & staff are professional yet so down to earth. It's the most beautiful dining experience in the whole area! read more

Visited for the first time since they changed ownership in April. Two stars since it was edible and wings ok. Definitely not the same! Makes me sad because this place used to be amazing, now it's just run of the mill bar food. Drink was awful. Wings were ok. Dinner came with salad-no more fresh vinaigrette, basic golden Italian bottle dressing. No more focaccia, not even a roll. Sauce appeared canned with some crushed tomatoes thrown in. No cheese for the pasta offered. Chicken was just sad. While everyone has an off night, we may give them another try, and I will update my review to reflect that, but this is no longer a diamond off the beaten path. Other visitors at the bar behaved as if it was 1am at cousin Joe's basement beer bong party and staff just ignored it. Read newest comments because all the 5 stars are before April's owner change. read more

The food is disgusting and the kitchen is beyond dirty and disorganized. An entire crew of idiots and the owner just walks around complaining about being there all the time. Her daughter steals money from the workers and this is all acceptable: do not give this place a penny read more

Excellent Service, great staff! Bar had an awesome atmosphere and chairs are very comfortable. Food was good, prices a little high. Got the chicken parm. Could have more crunch to it. Dessert was very good. Got the terra ma Sue. Nice ambiance. Overall good experience. Definitely check it out. read more

I was at the bar tonight, May 21st, and noticed a woman named Robin. She was being incredibly disrespectful to the staff, which was disappointing to see. There was also a noticeable odor too. She might want to get that checked out. I hope to not see her if I even come back. read more

Great atmosphere and the food was delicious--I had a the beef shank over polenta and the sauce was fantastic--great server and a shoutout to the staff--great tasting expresso too. The $$$ was just right-- read more

Food and service are great! Nice atmosphere too. Staff are very friendly and conscientious.

Everything was 5 star from the great drinks to the desert. Went for happy hour - shared the calamari - we both had a salad with homemade dressing- then the pasta primavera with homemade noodles and the most delicious sauce with vegetables- tiramisu was so light and delicious. Great wine from Italy. Please try. So good and great music and service read more

Must applaud the owners of this fine establishment 5 star all around Absolutely amazing !!! Will make my daughter have her wedding here for sure!!! read more

Our first visit to this establishment and it will not be our last. We were pleasantly surprised with the entire experience. We started with their lentil soup, we enjoyed it so much we asked for a take out container. We ordered, as suggested by Evelyn, beef osso bucco & and pan fried chicken cutlets - both were prepared to perfection. The dining room is accented with early 1900's woodwork featuring 3 sets of wooden French doors separating three dining areas. Looking forward to our next visit. read more

Very poor customer service. Reservation for 6:00. Our party of 5 adults were seated in the dining room where only one other couple was enjoying a meal. We ordered cocktails and dinner within the first 30 minutes of our arrival. We were served our drinks soon after. Time passed and 3 couples and a family of 5 were seated, served drinks, and bread and salads. We weren't served any food yet. Approximately 45 minutes later I asked our waitress what the hold up was in getting our 3 salads, 1 soup and bread. She said the other parties had reservations and they were doing the best they can. We eventually got our salads and bread. At this point all other customers were served and enjoying their entrees. I asked to speak to the manager who also told me they were doing the best they can. We were eventually served our entrees around 7:30. All of the afore mentioned customers who arrived after us were finished and leaving the restaurant. What I find most disturbing in regard to this restaurant and their staff is their complete disregard for customer service and lack of ownership of their inadequacies. It was very much like blaming the customer for poor service. Also, the prices are very high and the food not as authentic homemade italian as advertise. MT read more

Came back to the Mansion house last night. The food was great as always. I went on Wednesday wing night. Half priced wings all night. I actually had the yellowfin tuna which was delicious. It came with seaweed salad. Coming from a person who eats sushi, this tuna was raw and done perfectly. The entree included the tuna, salad, bread, seaweed salad, a vegetable and a choice of potato/couscous/risotto/fries. Once again, great service and atmosphere. One of my favorite restaurants in the area. read more

Just tried this place for the first time. The atmosphere inside was very nice, and the seats were almost too comfortable. I ordered a chicken special, and my husband got a fish special. He also got a cup of soup that was very good, and the salad that I ordered was a step above the norm (red peppers and dried cranberries, yum!). The main courses were both good, and my side of risotto was my favorite part of the meal. The only problem we had was that parking was a bit of a mystery. The situation was not helped by recent snowfall. It may have been more clear if there hadn't been any snow on the ground. read more

Fantastic place you must try. Menu is simple, well thought out, and every bite will wow you, from the creative seasonal drinks, to the delicious sandwiches and entrees. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Pat and his staff are wecoming and friendly, we can't wait to go back. read more

New owners. 2 caring sisters. Wonderful menu. Excellent cuisine & service. Charming environment. Reasonable prices. So glad we took a 15 minute drive thru the countryside from Jim Thorpe to dine here. read more

We had an opportunity to finally try the mansion house. It was a pleasant surprise upon entering the beautiful surroundings the host Pat made us feel like we were being invited into his house. We had a wonderful meal and the service was great I can recommend this place for a good meal. On Thursdays and Fridays they have live music in the bar area we are planning on going back and trying that again in the near future. read more

The food and service here are always outstanding! The cranberry mule is made so beautifully I almost felt bad drinking it!!

Be Patient, It's Pretty Darn Good. Between Tamaqua, Coaldale and Lansford, there aren't a lot of choices for a nice dinner; this place is a great option. It's tucked in a quiet neighborhood and is a really nice Victorian mansion. When we first went in, there was no one to greet us, so we were not sure where to go or what to do, but it all worked out. The servers were mostly young teens, so they're still learning. HOWEVER, almost every dish we ordered was really great.Except the Clams Casino, the food was excellent not only for the Panther Valley, but for any restaurant located in even the largest metro area. The portions were large and the food prepared expertly. The chicken fried steak was topped with sausage gravy that was perfect. The chicken Baltimore was delicious and with a dozen of us, everyone loved their meal. A nice bar on one side of the building for casual fun and a Victorian dining room on the other. The prices also were very fair. read more

A hidden gem in the Panther Valley. Outstanding ambience and atmosphere. The Mansion House could rival any of overpriced neighboring Jim Thorpe establishments. Food is expertly prepared and impeccably presented. Overall, a fine dining in Summit Hill. In particular, the crab cakes are succulent. They also feature weekly specials and host live music three nights a week. Do yourself a favor....check out the Mansion House. read more

Wow! What a beautiful place! Happened upon this place while out of town. The staff were all amazing and extremely accommodating. Our server, Shane went above and beyond even offering us some history about the building. The food was wonderful...couldn't have asked for anything better read more

Very hospitable!!! Crew was very kind and approachable. Food was spectacular, and the best in the area. Definite

Nice restaurant. Good choice of entrees from full meals to sandwiches. Very fair prices. A little fancier than the rest of the restaurants in the area but I enjoy getting dressed up every now and again. read more

A real gem located outside Tamaqua. A beautiful building and a great dinner with tremendous service. We had the wings to start and eggplant parm and chicken dinner. We can't wait to go back with our dinner crowd as we live in a resort nearby. Thank you Pat for a wonderful experience. read more

Great atmosphere and delicious food! First time visiting this restaurant. The menu looked intriguing so we decided to try. From the time we walked in the door, we were greeted with friendly faces and an inviting room. We have the Pirogies, Kielbasa & Kraut, mushroom burger & the chicken pot pie. None disappointed. Chef and serving staff were excellent, attentive and knowledgeable. read more

This place is beautiful and the staff is friendly. The bartender (Pat) was very inviting and even gave me a tour of the place and told me about it's history as a brewery, a distillery, and even the use of it during prohibition. I ordered the smoked pork shoulder sandwich and it was done to perfection. Excellent food! They even had some of their own boilo behind the bar. Live music on Tues and Fri nights as well. I'm glad to see a place like this in the area. I will definitely be back. read more

Came here with my family a while ago. We ordered lunch foods which was all presented beautifully and tasted delicious. A good enough selection of vegetarian dishes.

What a beautiful restaurant, fantastic menu and amazing food. Service was perfect, prices reasonable and the place was clean and beautiful. We were a party of 9 and all agreed, this is a gem! We will be back Pat, you run a fantastic restaurant! read more

I visited the Mansion House in Summit Hill PA with my brother and sister in law, while visiting my hometown of Tamaqua. I was totally taken by surprise at what I found at the Mansion House. It began with not just the beauty of the building and how well the interior was preserved with the chandeliers, the walls and woodwork and the overall ambiance which was much more than I expected, but also the friendliness and promptness of the wait staff. I felt that the only way to make this any better was with the food and that was the hit of the night. Between the three of us, we ordered the Clams Casino and the Fresh Mussels simmered in White Wine, Garlic, and Basil with a Tomato accent as an appetizer. These are two of my favorites and The Mansion House served what may be the best I have ever had. I easily could have made a dinner from just the sauce for the Mussels and I could not remember ever having Mussels that tender and tasty. No way did I think that the best was yet to come, but it was. For dinner, my brother ordered a Filet Mignon that could have be sliced with a plastic fork. He described it as having a steak that melted in the mouth with an abundance of flavor. My sister in law and I ordered the stuffed Salmon with Crab bake. This dish came with roasted veggies and roasted pineapple chunks and we paired both dishes with a very nice California Pinot Noir. Yes, the Salmon was even better than the appetizers. We finished with desserts of Key Lime Truffle Tart, Chocolate Lava cake and Strawberry short cake, but by now I was expecting only the best and the Mansion House delivered. Chef Barry Riegel, Sous Nicholas Allesch, Pastry Brenda Matula, you belong in New York City or San Francisco, but please don't go there to soon. At least not until I've tried everything on that fabulous menu. read more

Last time we were there my hubs got a cheese burger and the cheese was just placed on the meat and was not melted at all. French fries are not fresh made ... they are frozen. The waitstaff are very nice but she should have seen that the cheese was not melted( bun was open so you can clearly see. For $10 I think they need to make the platter more desirable. read more

This is an awesome restaurant. The cucumber wasabi salad dressing was great. The Turkey sandwich with cranberry and stuffing served with delicious fries and gravy for dipping was wonderful. And to top it off our waiter, Danny was both friendly and professional. The atmosphere was great as well. The chef checked to see how we liked our meal and it was obvious he takes pride in the food he serves. We will be back next time we're in the area. read more

First time there. Staff was very nice. The dinner salad was excellent. We all enjoyed our meals & even took some extras home. Can wait to go again. read more

Ambiance is nice, service was friendly although a little anxious and would benefit from training. Soup of the day was a cold raspberry soup....which came with my meal but any other soup was an upcharge. Would have been ok if it was normal soup. Entree (meatloaf) was pretty good read more

This is hidden gem. From burgers to the specials, like quail, the food is always delicious. The cost of a meal and drinks can be just a little or a little more. Over time, I've spent a very little for dinner and beer for 2. I've also spent more for excellent cocktails with dinner. This is my can't miss place to go. read more
