Thank you for your input as well. It seems like Grille2501 is catching my eye.
I've been doing some research on the area, that way I know what restaurants to visit once I get there. Ladies and Gents, your advice is greatly appreciated!
Tavern on the Hill- In Harrisburg area seems to be a good restaurant but of course, please chime in. I would love to know a personal experience.
Grille 3501- In Allentown area seems to have good reviews so i'm also looking at this place too
Ps: I must say I enjoy Seafood, Asian food and last but not least Italian
Grille 3501 is a must. Great Food and Drinks
For Asian try Lu's House
Downtown Allentown I would recommend Roar Social House and don't forget to check out the Speak Easy for cocktails.
Over in Bethlehem I would recommend you give The Bayou a try.
Thank you soooo much, I starting to hear a lot about Grille 3501. That's a good thing
For sea food try Hook-- it is also downtown. Or Youells Oyster House.
Thanks so much, I'll check out the website
If you're also looking at Bethlehem, The Bayou is AWESOME (as suggested by another respondent here), and they have several others worth trying, as well, including The Mint and Bolete.
Grille 3501 is probably the best restaurant in Allentown -- you don't even need to order a main dish, just a couple of appetizers. They're varied, cheaper, and delicious. Try a flight of mini-martinis, too, they're a really nice touch and also quite good.
Allentown's restaurants stink on ice, except for Grille 3501 and MAYBE The Hamilton. I didn't care for The Hamilton, but I might have been there on a bad night, with a hockey game in the PPL Center across the street
Thank you for your input as well. It seems like Grille2501 is catching my eye.
I have visited Harrisburg and Allentown many times, so know the areas pretty well.
For Harrisburg, I would definitely suggest The firehouse, it's located downtown.
COOL FACTOR: It's actually an old firehouse converted into a restaurant. Very cool memorabilia all around. The food is to die for. I remember I order trout and it came salt ice packed to the table. The presentation as flawless. Also the place is bi level, so you can chill at the bare but if you want a ore formal scene there is more upscale seating.
Price Point: $15-$25
For Allentown
THE CHICKEN LOUNGE.
COOL FACTOR:If you live in Allentown, you already know about this place. The atmosphere is what gives it an all around A. It's been in business for years, so the locals pretty much run the spot. The ambiance and cool and welcoming. Good, but casual food. I love the bar. It's in the shape of what I believe to be an octagon. Order a drink, their heavy on the alcohol. You won't need another one.
Price Point: $10-$15
3501
COOL FACTOR: Very upscale place. You probably shouldn't where jeans and flip flops here. I've only been here once for a birthday party but was really impressed by their service. Expansive menu with fine ingredients. You can order Foie Gras, that's an indicator for the type of food you will get. I had a fish dish, can't exactly remember. Here, you might want to have a gentleman take you.
Price Point: $25-$35
Best,
