"This was our second visit to Kozy 's. We enjoyed it our first time, as it 's off the beaten path, nestled in a nice neighborhood, with live piano music cozy atmosphere. Sadly, this evening our server was like a deer in the headlights ....asking us to order, after never bringing us menus as we sat waiting to be acknowledged for about 10 minutes, and unapologetic for her neglect the entire evening. We had a reservation for 4, were seated, (without being given menus) as there were several open tables, and yet our server was MIA pretty much the whole evening. After ordering, during which it was clear the waitress wasn 't adept regarding the menu, other staff delivered our food, and our waitress popped in once or twice to check in, but never refilled our drinks or water, or even poured our wine. We did enjoy the flavorful mushrooms stuffed with steak appetizer, but the ceviche was unremarkable. Entrees: filets were on par scallops were very good. After dinner, we ordered the chocolate mousse, crème broulee, 2 Grand Marnier cordials, which were delivered in snifter glasses, but appeared to be a CLEAR LIQUID, instead of GOLDEN in color. My husband immediately flagged down a different server (as ours was MIA...again) the drinks were taken away to be replaced. Our waitress later appeared claiming that now they were out of Grand Marnier which means they didn 't have enough when we ordered, so they tried to cut it with vodka or something pass it off as Grand Marnier at $10 a pop!!! BEWARE!!! Never have we encountered such dishonesty at a restaurant, and as a result, we will not ever return to this establishment! Shame on you, Kozy 's!!"

"Given my experiences in other State College bars, Zeno’s has my glowing praise and approval. Drinks (mixed, tap, etc) will never run you back hard on pricing like a lot of venues will. Granted, there’s a balance of price at most places. At Zeno’s, the quality is there without an inflated tag. Drinks come fast and the bartenders don’t look at you like they want you to leave (an apparent rarity in State College). The trivia nights are a great time and typically come with a very personable host. The crowd they gather is the type you’d be able to walk table to table and talk to on most occasions, and the bar’s setup itself is both unique and consistent. It suffers from the typical bar bathroom fallout, but that’s more from vandalism than it is from quality control. Cocktail menus bring variety and experimental choices, which covers appeals across the board. This is THE bar experience if you plan on sitting down/standing for a drink in good company with a setting you can actually talk in during the week. There’s a class about it that barriers Zeno’s from a lot of the party bars. Party bars are enjoyable, but typically more “party” than “bar” in State College. Zeno’s has the quality to justify for second trip as much as the first. Given some of the harsh experiences I’ve had at other State College bars, this venue is one of my redeemers for the PSU nightlife ."
