Stopped into get a sandwich at 6:30 on a Wednesday.  A lot of places were closed but luckily Potbelly was open. I got the roast beef and provolone on a whole wheat roll. So excited when I saw the roll getting toasted with tons of cheese melting on it. I thought it was delicious and just the right side and not completely overpriced at $5.99 with tax. It's not totally out of this world unbelievable, but it hit the spot and might be my favorite sandwich place in Roc Center.

I'd give this place 10 stars for ambiance if I could!! Historic and completely beautiful. The chandeliers and big wooden doors and paintings were all perfect. Service was impeccable. They even had some cool artifacts behind glass next to a few tables.

Unfortunately the food wasn't quite as good as the rooms and service. We enjoyed the celery root amuse bouche but the venison tagliatelle was rather lackluster and the short ribs tasted like I could have cooked them myself at home in my crockpot.

The desserts were fantastic though. I tried three and the maple sundae with chocolate covered bacon and caramel popcorn was just as amazing as it sounds.

Had an amazing dinner here for my bff's bday. We don't drink but the beer list looked stellar.
Everything from apps to entrees to dessert - everything was soooo delicious! Bacon wrapped kielbasa was just as good as my friends said. Loved the fish tacos (which came with a side, a totally unnecessary but delicious bonus) and also the special crayfish gumbo app. The main courses were amazing. Fish was cooked perfectly (tried Chilean seabass and also swordfish) and my steak was so tender and juicy (Piedmontese filet). I loved how you select from a variety of interesting proteins and then the way they are prepared (I went with the classic pan roasted style but loved the East/West on the seafood) and then add the sides. The gouda mac with smoked bacon was especially good. Finally, desserts were out of this world! Smores lush, I think I love you.
Service was just as good as the food. I'd be here every weekend if I lived in NEPA. Definitely want to go back for brunch.

I'm surprised at the somewhat negative reviews on here. The staff have been really friendly and helpful while not pushy at all. I got one of the cheapest packages to prep for a trip to Mexico and have been a few times. I've never had to wait. I upgraded once to a nicer booth for $3 and got super dark in one day. They have some good deals - the free tan with lotion packet purchased on Sundays and also I was given two free visits with the package I bought.

If only this place was a little bigger and the wait not so long, I'd give it five stars. Unfortunately, too many people know how good it is and we had to wait 40 minutes for brunch.
Service was very good and the food was great and a ton for not that much $$$. I want to go back and try the raspberry oatmeal pancakes!

My friends and I had a great dinner here over the holidays. We had a reservation and they gave us a big long table in the back. My friends were coming and going so I ended up sitting through two dinners and the waiter was super friendly and accommodating with it all. The squash soup was so good that my friend ordered another serving of it. Everyone loved the drink selection. I would definitely come back here - a great option in this neighborhood!

All these bad reviews about their pizza but I really liked it! I ordered a large cheese pizza, fries, a cheesesteak and soda on grubhub. The delivery was faster than they said - about 30 minutes on a really busy day. I really liked the pizza. The sauce was spread thin which I like because I looooove lots of cheese. The crust was a perfect thickness, not too think or too thin. I will try Lenny's since a few other people on here are fans but I think this might be my new spot.

Decent beer selection plus a ton of big TVs for watching all different games. There is a room for private parties downstairs and a big back room with large tables and booths. All the servers were really nice and attentive. I didn't eat that much but the wings I tried were decent.
I would agree with Paul D that the overall decor could have a bit more character. There is a lot of potential here but I think with some specials and maybe something else to set it apart might make it a lot better.

I was so excited to get recommended to this tailor and hear so many good reviews about Eduardo. He was really sweet. Looked at the worn out elbows of my sweater and said they would put on some oval leather patches. Sounded cool to me!
So it was supposed to be ready on a Tuesday but I came on Friday, thinking then they'd have an extra few days. Well it still wasn't ready. Not even close. It was stuffed in a random pile of sweaters with no work done on it whatsoever.
Unfortunately I needed it to take on a trip so I had to wait for them to do the work. I think this probably led to the work being of slightly lower craftsmanship than usual. The sewing isn't as good as I'd expect and some of the patch is a little wrinkly. Plus I was late to work and waiting made it that much worse. He offered me a small discount - $15 instead of the $20 I owed - which helped but I was really disappointed in the organization.

This place is super cute and their cakes and cupcakes are delicious AND beautiful!! The big cakes are on the expensive side (I think $48) but there are smaller sized cakes that would have maybe 4 little slices for less than $20. They're all gorgeous with colorful designs and flowers and would make a great gift.

I had a yellow cake with fudge frosting and I can't find anything to critique. The icing was really smooth and perfectly dark, not too sweet, not too bitter. The cake was fluffy but also kinda dense. I wish I had gotten a pumpkin cupcake too. They're $3 and I think that's fair for the quality and size.

Will definitely pop back in here whenever I'm in the area. There are a few tables in the front for coffee and eating your cupcake on the spot.
