"We went there before a Penn State sporting event and our server was friendly and the food was mostly good except for the deviled eggs(every deviled egg we'd ever eaten was better than what they serve . 3 of us had burgers, 1 had the prime rib sandwich and I had the Pork Banh. The service was slow, but thankfully we had time. Prior to dinner we went into the tasting room to try some of the spirits that they distill themselves. There were 2 guys in the room having a conversation with the lady behind the counter. She never said hello or even really looked at us. I like Bourbon and Rye whiskey and we were all hoping to try some and possibly buy a couple bottles(I have pretty large budget for whiskey : . After standing there for about 7-8 minutes, one of my friends asked me which one I would like to try and I said I was hoping to try the Rye whiskey. The lady who was still telling a pretty long story, unrelated to whiskey, to the other 2 guys said to us without really looking at us that we needed to wait and she will get to us when she finishes. Pretty lame attitude for someone who is supposed to be a friendly face introducing people to your brand and products. It isn't too hard to say hello and be polite to more than 1 customer at a time. So we left the room without trying or buying anything. We come up to State College a lot, but we are not likely ever coming back to this establishment. I gave 3 stars for the dining, I'd give 1 star to the tasting room."
