We didn't have reservations and they were very accommodating. I would recommend making a reservation. Thank you!

Two visits in two months, and the same problem both times: my wife ordered her steak medium, and…read moreboth times it came out rare to medium-rare. Sending it back meant a 15-minute wait while my own plate sat in front of me going cold. So date night becomes one of us eating alone, or both of us eating cold food. Not the end of the world, but it does put a damper on the evening, twice now. When I mentioned it, politely, our server told me to fill out a comment card... and then never brought one. We wanted to like this place. Two disappointing experiences in a row says it's a pattern, not a bad night. Do better.

The recent menu has a great diversity of options ranging from salads, sandwiches, and entrees. I elected to go with the Birra ramen, not something I would expect to find at this establishment or in this neck of the woods. I was knocked back at how good it was. The broth had rich flavor and the right amount of spice, not enough to burn your mouth, but warm it up and tingle your lips. The beef was tender and cooked to perfection. It hit the spot on a chilly winter night. If you find yourself in the gap and looking for spot to grab a good hearty bite to eat and drink, the Red Horse is your spot!

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.

Although there was only one other party seated near us, it was a little noisy as the bar was fairly crowded. Service was slow, it took us a while to get our drinks and each one came out individually. The menu was very limited. A few appetizers, a few salads, two sandwiches and only five entrées. I ended up getting a burger as nothing else appealed to me. It was overdone, but tasty. (Would have been even more tasty if it was medium rare!) The bread basket was brought out just after our meals were served, which was pointless. This would not be my choice of restaurants if I were making the plans, but it was still good.

I do think they forgot about me at first and the bar tender had to run back at least two occasions to check the kitchen. The service from the bartender and the dessert were perfect.
