Ad Lib is in the Hilton Harrisburg Hotel on 2nd. They have a wonderful breakfast set up. Full buffet, continental breakfast, and ala carte. The servers are always so kind and you’re never left waiting.

The food and service here is fantastic. I ordered an old fashioned from the bar and the balance of flavors was perfect. It was even served with one large ice ball. We shared the delicious marinated olives. The crostini was lightly toasted and beautifully displayed. I ordered the sea bass tacos and they were rich and delicious. The real show stopper was their Ad Lib burger. The pretzel bun, dijonaisse Vermont cheddar, truly one of three best burgers ever. Their fries and chips are fresh, made there goodness. Go. This place is great you won’t be disappointed.

The food was reasonable priced. The hostess was very nice, but the waitress was not kind. Dinner was just alright (filet mignon, mac/cheese and seafood pot). 5/15/2022 around 7pm. I had the same waitress the next morning for breakfast. This was my first time in Pennsylvania…not impressed. I can only hope I make a better impression on folks who visit my city.

I’m not typically one to venture into hotels for their dining, but this place was an exception I’m glad I made. They offer a casual dining area or a more upscale steakhouse dining experience. We chose the casual side, but my server Ken was very attentive and kind. Although we were in the casual side, it still felt like an exceptional restaurant. The cocktails and food were both great, and came out to our table fast. I’m excited to return to try more food and drinks.

It was my youngest daughter’s 25th birthday so she chose Ad Lib for her dinner party. I was glad she did. This place is amazing, the food was incredible, compliments to the chef and our server went above and beyond his duty. I would definitely recommend dining here for any type of occasion. Everyone equally enjoyed their meals and the atmosphere was kid friendly and cateres to all crowds.

I took my boyfriend to Brunch for his birthday and we both loved it. It started with complimentary mimosas and monkey bread from a skillet. We had sausage with carmelized onions

Stayed at the Hilton Harrisburg for a conference so the restaurant was chosen mostly for convenience but I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. I loved being able to make a reservation on Open Table. The food was tasty and the staff was attentive and accommodating of my table mate with a food restriction. The tablet menus were a little tricky and one ended up needing updating for it to work but that was a small blip to an otherwise positive experience.

Whoever the morning hostess is, she is going to run this place to the ground. Generally lazy, and fairly rude. After waiting for 10 minutes at an empty restaurant, she said there would be a wait because there aren’t any large tables to seat the six of us. When we said that we would be fine spitting up just because we wanted to get a quick breakfast she said that would still be a wait. We left immediately.
