Best restaurant in the area. By far. Also a brewery. Farm to table food. Higher end but laid back vibes. Call in advance for a table but also just pop in after a hike for a pint. Crazy good.

A lovely vista of State College. Take the trail off the parking lot for about a 2.5 mile one-way hike to the "Indian Stairs" or cross the highway and take the trail back for miles and miles along the ridge. One of my favorite spots.
