“Very friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere. I was a little disappointed in my meal portions. I ordered the Admirals Feast. The food was delicious but the portions were extremely small, especially the fish. I received two pieces of fish, that wouldn't be considered one piece combined, at other restaurants. We always enjoy Red Lobster.“
“For me...LJS is ALWAYS a Bell Ringer! (Pun intended) In all my years of eating here, I have never had a bad experience. Their food is unique and always seems to hit just right! Smiling, bubbly, clerks always make the visit enjoyable. The fish and chicken platter meals are the bomb! ?“
“Altoona and visitors, don’t go anywhere else. Fantastic salad bar, great steaks (and I mean GREAT steaks) and sandwiches. It’s our “go to” place every year when visiting the area!Kid-friendliness: Great stuff for the kidsWheelchair accessibility: Flat entrance“
“We had a delightful time last evening at your restaurant. Service was perfect and the food was delicious. This was my second visit. As a 40 year resident of Maryland, before moving to Florida , I am amazed at how great the Maryland crab soup is.Thanks for a very nice evening.“
“We decided to celebrate a special anniversary at Finellis and couldn't have been happier with our evening! We made a reservation and had a cozy table on this cold January evening. We were greeted promptly and while we were looking over the menu, we were given a pre-appetizer of a pasta & sausage salad in a delicious dressing. We did order an appetizer of "Drunken Mushrooms" to start and could believe how good they were and a very large portion too. We weren't rushed to order and when ready, gave our server, Christi, our order. The salads were very generous and fresh and we enjoyed two of the house-made dressings. I had an Italian vinaigrette which we loved so much, we purchased some to take home. We did ask for some bread or rolls and a basket was brought out. Out of the two, the bread was the best! Then came the meals. . .my wife had Eggplant Parmisan over angel hair pasta which she loved! I had a huge grilled pork porterhouse steak, cooked to perfection and accompanied by red roasted parsley potatoes and green beans in Jack Daniels sauce. The only thing we really didn't like was the green beans. . .was hoping for fresh cut ones and we couldn't taste the Jack Daniels sauce. That was so minor and we had so much food by then, it really didn't matter in the context of writing this review. The entree portions were large but yet totally scrumptious and seasoned / cooked to perfection. For dessert, they brought over a tray of about 8 or so desserts to pick from. . .all homemade by Mrs. Finelli herself! Oh my. . . who could resist? We decided to take a piece of Italian Almond Cake with butter cream icing. . .it was more than enough for us to share and especially after a big meal. The dessert was heavenly to say the least and we ate every bite! Last but not least, a big shout out to our server, Christi. . . .she made our dinner so enjoyable. . .friendly and checking in on us to see if we needed anything, refilling drinks and helping us order the perfect meal selections for us! A big thanks to her and Finellis. . .we will definitely be back soon!“
