The most flavorful, delicious hanger steak one could ask for. Decadent crab cake benedict. Friendly service, cute atmosphere. If we lived in Harrisburg, we would be regulars. The boy is still talking about how good that brunch a week later.

A very pleasant evening for entertaining some business associates. We had great service and they were very accommodating to our group of eight. It is a smaller place and the tables are a bit close together. Everyone in our party found the food and service to be great. The menu has interesting items and the night we were there some... More

I've been traveling to Harrisburg since the 90s, and for some time now there have been some good brunch options. Mangia Qui was the first great one, but they have always struggled with consistency and service. Your eggs benedict might have sat for 20 minutes before they serve it to you. When it was good, though, it was great. Confit... More

Always looking for a great place to eat when visiting Harrisburg, found this one on my last trip. Was alone so I planned on eating at the bar. The bar was packed so the host found me a table to sit and have a drink while I waited for a seat to open up at the bar. I ordered an... More

Home 231 does everything right! While you won't see this restaurant from a main street, it is well worth the turn down a quiet city street to find to dine here. I have eaten here several times for dinner, and have had a wonderful experience every time. Home 231 is a farm-to-table restaurant with tasty, fresh ingredients. In addition to... More

We walked into the restaurant looking for a cozy dinner. When entering the restaurant you pass the bar and the smell coming from the the bar detergent was OVERWHELMING. We were seated in the dining area squished between two tables and the bar smell was still overpowering. We were going to leave, but I thought the smell would dissipate. It... More

This is a lovely pace that reminds me of restaurants in New York City. Long and narrow with modern decor. On a recent weekday, the bar was packed and I can see why.The cocktails are delightful. Our party all had entrees except myself. I had a salad with smoked trout and a "small" plate which was as large as my... More

I found this restaurant on Trip Advisor, and since it was new to the area (at least to me), decided to visit it, especially since it was a little out of the way and not really one of the 2nd street/downtownish "mainstays", some of which are outstanding, others that have gotten worse. Anyhow, the other thing that drew me to... More

The food is excellent and varied and the service was very good. Three of us ordered all different small plates and entrees to sample a variety and everything was fabulous. You wouldn't think you would find grilled baby octopus and Mac and Cheese on the same menu but both were perfect as was the Arancini. The Pork Osso Bucco was... More

We just happened to be walking by the location a few weeks ago and spotted this "smallish" restaurant to add to our list to try. Glad that we did. Took the wife there for her birthday and thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was delicious, the presentation lovely, and the service was very good. The portions were just right for me,... More
