A very good local restaurant/microbrewery - it makes a nice change from the plethora of chain eateries in the city. The food and drink are both excellent, but it's best to make reservations for evening. It can get busy.
The Peter Herdic House, one of the most famous Victorian-style mansions left over from the prosperous logging days of Williamsport's history (which used to have more millionaires per capita than anywhere else in the world) is now an inn and fine dining restaurant. The menu is seasonal, and ranges from Parmesan Crusted Shrimp and a side Pear, Walnut and Gorgonzola Salad to Salmon in a Dijon Cream and Homemade Linguine Carbonara with Broccoli.

Examples include a sushi-style Duck Roll, Baby Arugula Salad with Prociutto and Mozerella and a Balsamic Glaze, and always-changing desserts. The atmosphere is very dark and cozy, with a baroque almost-gothic feel with crimson walls, large ornate mirrors, and a diamond/joker theme. House-made garlic breadsticks are served free with a side of olive oil and salt and pepper. The establishment is fairly esoteric as it lies in an ally, but for those who know it it's a favorite.
33 East is one of the area's most popular "fine dining" establishment. The food is excellent (albeit a little pricey), as is the atmosphere and service.
