The appetizer crab cakes are awful, BUT entree crab cakes outstanding. Soups are good quality and "rustic italian" menu items (chicken and veal) were very good. I'd return.

My parents and in-laws stayed at the hotel and so this was a convenient choice for dinner. Although the restaurant was smaller than I had expected, we all had enough room. It was the menu that was the star here. They have several soups each day, including ones that are not your standard choices. A fairly extensive set of gluten... More

I stated at the Hilton Garden Inn in State College for two nights in November. I was very pleasantly surprised to find that the hotel's restaurant, Harrison's, has gluten free options! This is so nice for guests with Celiac, such as my self. I was having a hard time deciding between the Quinoa Risotto, the Mesclun Greens with Rosemary Chicken... More

So based on reviews from Trip Advisor, my family and I went to Harrison's for dinner. Terribly disappointed. Hostess and waitress were very good. Fresh bread and soup were delightful. Wine very good...but that is where it ends. One meal, a meatloaf, was like being served two hockey pucks with some kind of "sausage" side that was awful. Mahi-mahi special... More

We strive to give everyone the same positive experience but like all businesses, occasionally we fall short. We took your comments to heart and have... More

My 20-something daughters like this restaurant very much, and so do I. Harrison always has some creative and delicious meals on the menu. The soups are always wonderful. And occasionally I look past the other interesting entrees and order what I think is the very best hamburger I've ever had. When we dropped in for lunch recently, we discovered the... More

We did not stay in the hilton, but went to this restaurant based on the trip advisor reviews. We were not disappointed. The food was excellent and good sized portions. I was a little hesitant because hotel restaurants are not usually known for memorable food, but this restaurant appears to be run by an outside source. My daughter had a... More
