TLDR: amazing appetizers, bad entrees (maybe a place for drinks and snacks?). One of the better Places in State College, in a way---on the upper end of the spectrum at least, worth considering---but keep reading. They have really good appetizers, try the calamari and tuna tartar (wow). Some of the other ones are pretty good. But the entrees---not great, at all. I have been there many times now and can't find one good thing for dinner (e.g., steak=bad [how did you mess this up?], ravioli=horrible). The last time I went, I just got a steak sandwich - I think this is the only good "entree" there I've had - although I would not call a sandwich an entree...
