'Took my lady here for date night, as it was a place I had always wanted to go...and was not disappointed. Michael, the manager, was very attentive and took care of everything, from drinks (mixed as well), explanation of the history of the restaurant and just keeping things tidy and moving along. The 'Piano Man' was great at both singing and playing tunes from eras long past and quite a few not so distant past. The food was outstanding and the environment and weather was just wonderful. Try the duck... We will definitely be back again!
This is one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been too! From the atmosphere, to the service, to the food, everything was amazing. It was relaxed but still romantic and beautiful. The piano man was so talented and entertaining but the sound was set up perfect so even sitting right next to him I could talk to my husband without having to shout. Everyone that worked there just had great personalities and made it such a warm, happy place to be! I can’t wait to go back!
This was our first time back since before the Pandemic and we were not disappointed! My husband took me there for my birthday! Once there he realized he forgot his wallet! Sharon, our server, offered to actually pay for our meal and let us pay her back! Luckily I had my wallet! Sharon proceeded to make our entire evening a fun time! Not only was her service fantastic, the food was delicious! Hubby had the brisket and Mac and cheese which was amazing! I had the artichoke and spinach stuffed peppers along with Brussel sprouts. Also delicious! The piano player that night was Roy Lefevre. We thoroughly enjoyed listening to him and he even played and sang happy birthday to me as Sharon brought out my delicious peanut butter pie. And I can't forget the chocolate martinis! Some of the best I've had! Definitely recommend this place and if you're lucky enough to go on a Friday night, be sure to say hi to Sharon! She is fantastic!
Our daughter got us a gift card as a present; had not heard of the restaurant previously. Was a great experience! Owner/waiter was very attentive and friendly. Food was very good and not limited to just "bar food"! Live pianist most nights (ours included). Only open a couple days per week so call to make reservations.
Service was excellent. Entertainment excellent. We were late for our reservation and we let them know. They were very kind and accommodating. Food was great. I had to the perfectly prepared duck. Good wine. Good energy. One of my favorite spots in Harrisburg.
Amazing restaurant. The service was perfect, the food was quick and delicious. I had the best cherries or my life. The peanut butter pie was the best dessert I’ve ever eaten. 10/10 recommend.
Excellent restaurant! We made reservations there for my 14-year-old son's birthday. Upon entrance, we were warmly greeted and at once treated like we were family. The brisket and mac-and-cheese were delicious, and the desserts were outstanding! Kudos to their excellent musician, Andrea, who played/sang some of our requests. Great laid-back and hometown feel. The birthday boy rated it as the "best restaurant ever." We'll be back!
Very disappointing this time! We have been before to Carley's and enjoy the atmosphere and the piano music and loved that it was an Italian restaurant. We are not from the area so we don't know if they changed ownership, but it is not the same as it used to be. We made reservations and arrived to a half empty restaurant. My husband said we had reservations and we were told to sit at the bar that they were backed up. Working many years in the restaurant industry, I could see they only had 3 people working and gave them the benefit of the doubt. We sat at the bar and waited a while for anyone to take our drink order. After sitting for 30 minutes and realizing other people were being sat, we questioned our reservation. He must not have heard my husband and they sat us then immediately. We were celebrating a late Valentine's day and we were sat right in the aisle way where everyone was walking through. The people working were basically running through every time they passed the tables. I get that it was busy, but even the way we were treated, the way the waiter talked to us was hasty and made us feel like we were a nuisance. The menu has changed and now seems like a hodgepodge of different styles of food, no longer Italian (google still has their old menu up) and no bread was served and by this time we were an hour past our reservation and starving! They did comp the first round of drinks for the confusion, which was appreciated, but considering this was our first night out in over a year and none of our expectations being met, it was not enough and ruined our night. Unfortunately we will not return.
Really nice piano bar with a intimate ambiance. The food is both casual and upscale Italian and is reasonably priced. Very good cocktails too.
Went there some time ago with two friends. It's a small place and the owner was having a dinner at one of the tables and didn't want any of his customers sitting near them, so the hostess sat us at a tiny table in corner next to the bathroom. We were super crammed and it wasn't pleasant being seated so close to the restroom. We asked for a different table and were refused because the owner didn't want anyone at the other tables. We decided to leave and go somewhere where we felt more welcomed. I haven't been back to either Carley's or Stocks since they're under the same ownership.
