This was our second visit to Flour & Stone; the first was for lunch, where we dined Alfresco during…read morea pleasant summer day. This time, we reserved a table for dinner. Our guests had previously declared Flour & Stone one of their favorite restaurants. We were greeted cordially and seated at a small table near a hallway. During the course of the evening, we did feel an occasional draft of cool air-perhaps from the opening of an exterior door. The ambiance of the restaurant's interior is intimate, due partly to the low ceilings in our dining space. Our server brought menus and returned before long to take our drink orders. We ordered a limonata, a glass of Cantina castiadas vermentino, a Negroni, and the Fall Monty. Everyone enjoyed their libations; we shared one appetizer, the meatballs with ricotta. The sauce and meatballs were under seasoned, a bit on the bland side, and I would have preferred of touch of heat. For the entrées, we chose pork belly, lamb pappardelle, short rib gnocchi, and autumn ravioli. All the dishes were pleasing to the eye. My wife was very pleased with her ravioli; she raved about the sauce. Unfortunately, she didn't save me a drop of sauce. My pork belly consisted of a large square of pork, tender and well cooked, but on the boring side of flavor. Part of my problem was the expectation for porchetta on the menu--a dish they only prepare occasionally. The portions at Flour & Stone are perfect--no leftovers across the board. The ambience is relaxing and the staff are friendly. We're grateful to F & S for offering some rustic Italian pasta dishes, as well eclectic offerings such as rabbit, paella, Moroccan steak, and vegetarian choices. While I highly recommend Flour & Stone, I longed for more flavor and spice!

Friendly welcome staff not v fancy but clean restaurant. We ordered the tomato bisque, chili w corn bread, beet salad n Brussels sprouts.

The Brussels sprouts was crispy , had bits of bacon n tasted good. On the way out saw these giant chocolate chip cookies by the cashiers desk n it looked good v soft .

We had arrange for a graduation dinner here at 8:30 pm for 8 people. Shortly before we headed to the restaurant they called to make sure we were still coming we I thought was odd. This is where they could have righted a wrong by telling us they were very low on entrees and give us the option to decide to go somewhere else. 4 of the 6 dinner entrees weren't available, mashed potatoes were out. Most of the appetizers were also out. We ended up getting the last 4 small empanadas, 2 pretzels and 2 salads then decided to leave it was 9:30 pm by this time. We ended up at McDonalds yay. They did tried to work with us but it wasn't going to work for us. The bartender was snooty I won't get into that. The food is pricey and what we ate wasn't spectacular. They may have been off that night but again they could have gave us a heads up when they check in with us a hour before we arrived. Graduations dinner ruined.

Disappointing! I had the Fricase de Pollo. Described as Cuban style chicken quarters served with…read morepotatoes and Spanish style rice. It was a boiled chicken leg and thigh with white rice, a few olives, and some water cress - flavorless and not very good at all. No potatoes, zero flavor, and definitely not worth the price. No where close to the description on the menu. My son wanted the beef short ribs but they were sold out. He settled for the smoked duck wrap and fries - bang average. My wife got the catfish - she liked it. You want to support local establishments but this was a miss. If you're offering a limited menu then have what's on the menu. Three entrees, two appetizers, two beers, a glass of wine and a soda for $230. Disappointing!

The recent menu has a great diversity of options ranging from salads, sandwiches, and entrees.

The broth had rich flavor and the right amount of spice, not enough to burn your mouth, but warm it up and tingle your lips. The beef was tender and cooked to perfection.

However, when we walked by Big Spring Spirits inside the Scholar Hotel, we saw a quiet, classy, candlelit bar. We were able to immediately snag a seat at a high-top table for two. Our friendly server brought us a menu, and we loved that we could try a cocktail flight of six 40-ml drinks for only $13. The drinks arrived on a wooden palate and were enough for the two of us to enjoy a variety. All of them were delicious. (You can also try their spirit flights.) What's fun is the drinks are served in beakers. Big Spirits has a bigger place in Bellefonte which we've been to as well. Just be forewarned that they lock their door fairly early. People were trying to get in, and when we opened the door to let them in, we were scolded by one of the bartenders.

Although there was only one other party seated near us, it was a little noisy as the bar was fairly crowded. Service was slow, it took us a while to get our drinks and each one came out individually. The menu was very limited. A few appetizers, a few salads, two sandwiches and only five entrées. I ended up getting a burger as nothing else appealed to me. It was overdone, but tasty. (Would have been even more tasty if it was medium rare!) The bread basket was brought out just after our meals were served, which was pointless.
