Stocks on 2nd - Harrisburg (PA)

4 /5 Michael Moore: Great bar with a lot of space and an outdoor back patio. Definitely good for large groups but could also be great for a casual date night. Plenty of bar seats available. Bartender was great, super attentive, and service overall was spot on. Ordered the shrimp appetizer and the scallops entree. Really liked the food and will have to come back to try other items on the menu.

4 /5 Myke 410: I enjoyed the Wild Mushroom Risotto, the Fried Shrimp Po Boy, and the Roasted Beet Salad with baby spinach, toasted pistachios, crumbled goat cheese, and lemon vinaigrette! Did I mention the risotto? I even brought an extra order home to share with my mother, who saved some for my sister. Dad loved the risotto too! As for my service, I entered around 7:15 PM (my receipt shows my servers name is William D.) and left at 7:59 PM. The dining room was empty, with just a few guests at the bar. The bartender glanced over and asked if he could help me. I asked, “Is the kitchen still open?” He replied, “Yes, sorta.” I said, “Okay, table for one,” but then decided to sit at the bar to make it easier for the team since I didn’t see any waitstaff. The vibe I got from William was one of skepticism, as if he didn’t trust me to be a customer. To break the ice, I shared my experience from a vegan restaurant I had just visited, where the staff was rude. I mentioned that I left without ordering because I was hungry, tired, and I wanted to avoid a negative experience. After hearing my story, William’s energy changed, and he even apologized for my experience. However, he still seemed unsure about me, as if he doubted my ability to afford my meal. To ease the vibe I asked where the crab meat was from. He said Maryland, but I knew it was out of season. He checked with the kitchen and then clarified that it was coming from overseas. After that exchange, he seemed more chill as he thanked me for asking the question as he was now more knowable. I noticed William talking to his manager, and I felt like he might have been sharing my experience with her. When she brought my food over, she smiled, though it seemed a bit like she was wondering who I was. I appreciated her bringing it over and Williams effort to correct the initial vibe. In short, everyone deserves a warm and welcoming greeting… I felt like I had to earn mines. Shoutout to the manager. While I was finishing dinner I noticed the bartender walked from behind the bar to greet a party of two (waiting for 4 others) at the door while my greeting was from across the bar while proceeding to shine barware. But did I mention the Food was Fantastic!!!! Great service Recovery!

5 /5 Codey Joshua: Had a really nice dinner with. Great cocktail. The manager Anna came over and asked how the evening and dishes were going which was really nice. The host/server was very attentive. Highly recommend. The whiskey options are endless! Had an amazing experience. Will for sure be back!
