Reviews for Grace Restaurant at the Carnegie Inn in State College, PA

The only restaurant in town that can offer a true fine-dining experience! Dishes were simply delicious and servers and other... staff were doing a fantastic job. The place can be great for any occasion given the interior design is the most exquisiteone. I will definitely comeback! Thank you. Read more

Honestly one of the best places I've ever eaten. Everything I ordered from the starter to the dessert was top notch.

This place is beautiful with amazing food and excellent service. But there is no dress code. Half way through our anniversary... dinner, a teen age son and father dressed in sweat pants, sneakers and baseball caps were seated next to us. And by next to us Imean a table 18 inches next to us. They watched hockey videos on the son?s phone, and talked hockey over their entire dinner.Our waitress told us there was no dress code and patrons were permitted to sit in the restaurant or bar, at their choice. Therewere other empty tables where they could have been seated. But they were seated between my husband and I and another couple. Itwas only about an hour till closing so I doubt these other tables were reserved. I asked at the front desk if I could speak to amanager but both people working didn?t seem to know if there was a manager on duty or not. I am disappointed that there is nodress code at all. But I am just as disappointed that this father and son could have been seated at a table that was not betweentwo couples out for a fancy dinner on a Saturday night. I am not sure the service and food are good enough to make up for nodress code and the unfortunate seating arrangement. We probably won?t go back. We will take our $500 somewhere else. Read more

What a truly great dining experience. I remember Zola from when I was in school and it was a true pleasure to come back to State... College and experience that same high level cuisine as an adult. Dawn and the rest of the staff were amazing. The chef and hisstaff were on point. I had two dietary restrictions and they were wonderful with accommodations. Service and food wereperfect. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to have our first dinner out in the last 29 weeks with our baby. We cannotwait to come back again :) Read more

Grace restaurant was a fantastic experience which I hope to get to do again soon. We made short notice reservations after... checking in to the attached hotel, and we were very impressed with the quality of service and food. The pumpkin tortelliniappetizer was delicious, the dover sole extremely tender, and the chicken incredibly crunchy. If you're looking for a finedining experience in the area, check it out! Read more

Wonderful meal? Started off in the relaxing lounge with a glass of champagne in front of the fireplace. Chef offered a chilled... lobster bisque as an amuse bouche, which was very tasty. Foie gras as good as you?d get in France. The brioche it came with waslight and fluffy - one of the best breads I?ve ever had! Dover sole entree was exceptionally well prepared - a wonderful cruston the bottom, with moist and tender flakes up top. Loved the variant of beurre blanc sauce that brought the dish together. Theapple almond tart was special. Flaky pastry was delicious, but the homemade amaretto ice cream stole the show. Great selectionof wines and bubbles by the glass. Service was excellent - informed and attentive without being obtrusive. Top notch experiencesuitable for special occasions or foodies looking for a bit of old school colliding with the new world. Highly recommended! Read more
