Cannot make a reservation if your party is under 4, which is idiotic, considering it is valentines weekend. We arrived and joined the waitlist, told it would be 30-45 mins.

Palmer Museum of Art…read more I happened upon the Palmer Museum of Art while on a work trip and, to be honest, I wasn't expecting much more than a small university gallery. Instead, I found a surprisingly thoughtful and well-curated collection that easily rivals many regional museums. The museum itself is beautifully designed, bright, modern, and inviting without feeling overwhelming. The galleries flow naturally, making it easy to wander from room to room and spend more time than you originally planned. What struck me most was the range of the collection. From American paintings to contemporary works, the pieces are presented with care and clear interpretation, making the experience enjoyable whether you're a serious art lover or just a curious visitor with an hour to spare. For a museum located on a university campus, the quality of the collection is impressive. Several pieces made me stop longer than expected, and the curation feels intentional rather than simply academic. It's the kind of place where you go in thinking you'll do a quick walk-through and end up lingering. If you happen to be in the area, even for work, it's absolutely worth a visit. The Palmer Museum of Art is a reminder that sometimes the most rewarding cultural experiences are the ones you discover by accident. Topped the museum with a visit at the Creameryas recommended by the docent.

I like to visit art museums when I travel but I'm somewhat mobility impaired and didn't have any assistive devices with me, so I decided to just check out the glass art, which was fabulous.

My understanding is this is a new building, and there is a parking lot right outside.

We made reservations with Lionne for 2025 Thanksgiving at 3pm for a party of three. Their…read moreThanksgiving this year was an entree selection with an unlimited selection of sides and a dessert buffet. We arrived 5 minutes early and were led to a round booth instead of a regular table. I am in a sling from recent shoulder surgery, so I need to sit at a regular dining table with chairs. This was a problem since they only wanted to seat us in a booth. The host had us wait for a bit to find a solution while we looked around. We noticed many regular, empty tables. The host came back with a chair for me to place next to the booth. As we were about to sit down, a server or other host stopped by and stated this won't work (perhaps blocks access for servers?). So we had to wait for them to come up with a different solution. The hostess led us to a counter-height table with bar stools outside the restaurant. We thought that was unusual and this should have been a red flag. We weren't exactly comfortable, as we kept sliding off the bar stools. Worse, we were far from the dessert buffer and in a common area where other people walked past. We were confused as to why we couldn't get a regular table. We had to wait a bit for staff to get place settings and menus. Then our waiter arrived, except he identified himself as the bartender and stated up front that he might get busy tending the bar. That was the second red flag. He then explained that they were sold out of one of their five entrees thanks to the morning demand for it. They're running out of ingredients already in the afternoon? Third red flag. The waiter (bartender) took our order. Soon we had our drinks, but there was something wrong with my iced tea. It just tasted like fountain water instead of tea, even though it did have a little color to it. How do you mess up something as simple as iced tea? Forth red flag. We waited a while without any food. Our bartender/server did stop by and apologize for the delay, stating the kitchen was preparing "19 soups" or something along that line, and that we'd get our entrees in 5-10 minutes. Half an hour later, still nothing. At about the 45 minute mark we were using our phones to look for other restaurants that might be open on Thanksgiving day. An hour after we were seated, a different waiter finally brought us soup. We asked the waiter why it's taking so long for our entrees. He apologized and stated that he'd make sure he puts our order at the front of the queue. Unfortunately the French Onion soup was cold, or lukewarm at best, with a soggy crostini on top. Perhaps this soup had been sitting forever after it was prepared and our bartender/waiter didn't serve it to us in time, and another waiter had to bring it to us after it was already cold? Fifth red flag. Then after about ten minutes, the waiter brought us a basket of cold bread. Did they forget to serve this earlier? Worse, they provided no plates for us yet in which to eat the bread. Sixth red flag. At that point we had enough: we left and notified the hostess of the issue. It was one and a quarter hours with no entrees, seated in an awkward and uncomfortable location that should never have been offered, with a waiter that's unavailable because he's tending bar, and being served cold food much too late. We didn't even get a chance to look at the dessert buffet since we had no entrees and were seated so far away. We also didn't prepare any food at home because we had reservations and expected a proper dining table instead of this nightmare. The staff, although very friendly and courteous, seemed confused and unable to make proper decisions. The hostess was a bit shocked we waited so long without any entrees. This had to be the worst dining experience we've had in a long time. For this Thanksgiving, we had to go "Christmas Story" style and eat at Penang Asian Fusion Cuisine, one of the few places open. Needless to say, I'd recommend avoiding the Nittany Lione Inn and Lionne: we took a chance and now regret it. For $70-60 per person you'd expect to be treated far better.
