Reviews
We recommend the casarecce pasta and chicken cacciatore but the choices and cuts of meat looked marvelous too.
Make a reservation if you’d like or sit at the bar and enjoy your evening. On Street parking was easy.
Finally got the chance to check out a buddy’s restaurant in Williamsport — they’ve been open for a bit now, and I’d been meaning to stop in. Upon entry, we were greeted with great hospitality, generosity, and some easy conversation that set the tone for the night.
The food? Absolutely flawless. Every dish made you want to slow down, savor each bite, or just nibble and appreciate the craftsmanship behind it.
Each bite carried a sense of freshness and perfectly balanced flavor — everything was clockwork and looked incredible on the plateware, even better in person.
The chew on the Dan Dan noodles, the silkiness of the gnocchi, and that crème brûlée… all standouts. Actually, the smooth custard texture of the onsen egg had me locked in too. Scratch that — the whole experience was exactly what I’ve been looking for when it comes to local dining.
Anyways, right to it, we had…
The Geisha & Pineapple Skies Drinks
Asian Pear Salad
Mini Shrimp & Grits
Roasted Brussels w/ Onsen Egg
Parisian Gnocchi
Gyudan w/ Yakiniku Marinated Butcher Filet
Spicy Dan Dan Noodle w/ Pork Tantanmen
Furthermore it was good seeing you John, we will talk again, keep on keeping on! Much appreciated, we loved it!
We started with the Asian pear salad, which was fresh, vibrant, and perfectly seasonal — a light, crisp beginning that set the tone for the meal. The shrimp and grits followed, and it was pure comfort: creamy, rich, and deeply flavorful, with shrimp cooked just right.
One of the unexpected highlights was the roasted Brussels sprouts with onsen egg. The Brussels were caramelized and nutty, but the real star was that egg — silky, perfectly slow-cooked, and complex in flavor, it elevated the entire dish into something memorable. I am still thinking about the egg as we speak.
The Parisian gnocchi was another standout — pillowy soft and served over a squash puree that made it both delicate and satisfying. The gyudan with yakiniku-marinated butcher’s filet showcased the kitchen’s range: tender, perfectly cooked beef with bold, savory depth, balanced by subtle sweetness.
We finished with the spicy Dan Dan noodles with pork tantanme, which brought just the right level of heat and umami richness — hearty, comforting, and absolutely packed with flavor. The noodle was the star of this dish. With the perfect chew to it it was definitely a hit at the table.
To say we were blown away by the food would be an understatement. Honestly, this is one of those spots where the food could hold its own even without the beer. Every dish felt thoughtful and well-executed. If you’re looking for a brewery with a legit food menu, this one’s worth the trip. ✨
The food is always absolutely incredible, the service is amazing and the atmosphere couldn’t be more beautiful! We definitely can’t wait to have this experience again!
I immediately reminded her that I’d already ordered them and began to tell her the two dishes when she cut me off, saying she was sure she put it in but hadn’t written it down.
When the Brussels came out without the Octopus, I assumed maybe it was going to come out. It never did. So now she missed what I ordered not once, but twice. I really wanted to try the Octopus too.
As others have stated the portions tend to be small and the Brussels were no exception.
I know that this is actually an appropriate portion but for two of us it went quickly. It was very good.
If we’d had the second one I might not have thought of the small portions.
The entrees came and they were pretty and good but the portions disappointed again. There were five smaller scallops, and a duck leg. Not a leg and a thigh or a breast, but just a leg.
They were both well executed and delicious.
They had run out of the tiramisu, which is silly because it was only 7:30. Make more for Saturday nights.
Overall, the place was beautiful but it’s overrated. There are other options nearby that are a better value for the money.
