This was a hidden gem! We took a small road trip through Pennsylvania and had to stop here since it looked cute. We were not disappointed! The Brussels are AMAZING! We got an appetizer and an entree each (risotto for me and salmon for him). So delicious! The salmon was cooked perfectly, the risotto was flavorful, perfectly seasoned. Great experience, and the spot is very chic and industrial. Nice little date spot!

I've eaten at the downtown location before but this was the first time eating at the airport location...the girls were ready and waiting to seat you. Did not take long for our server to come over. The food was excellent as always. Will definitely be back!

We've been to Balance a few times, but on all occasions, the food has been excellent and the service has been great! We ate in the courtyard this time and the weather was beautiful. It's completely shaded and very comfortable. We have dietary restrictions (vegan) and they were so accommodating and checked to make sure we were okay with the ingredients. We got the protein power bowl and we also got the sweet and spicy pizza and we modified to have no cheese or pepperoni and they offered to add veggies and we added roasted carrots. It was absolutely delicious!

We had a memorable and exquisite experience dining at Journey while visiting Johnstown. Chef Jeet and the staff were welcoming and attentive, providing excellent food and service. We started with cocktails and doi fuchka, and shared the spicy chicken curry, butter chicken, and lamb vindaloo. Each dish was elevated and unique, with Chef Jeets personal twists and flavors. Spice level of 5 to 7 was perfect for us. The butter chicken was creamy and comforting with some of the most tender chicken I've ever had. Lamb vindaloo was hearty with generous portions of lamb. For the critiques, I found the texture of naan a little soft for my taste, and the cocktails were not very memorable. All in all, I would definitely visit again and would highly recommend you try it out.

Stopped here for a night out dinner and sat in the vault room which was a neat atmosphere with lots of history through the years but utilized nicely here. Prices were impressive for the quality of food and menu items were great. I appreciated that wraps and burgers were available but they were very good and unique. Really like the Buffalo cauliflower and Brussel sprout appetizers. Good amount and fantastic taste. Also nice selection of drinks. All around a great experience and will be happy to return.

A gem on Main Street in Johnstown. Creative, delicious menu served in a beautifully restored historic venue. Reasonable prices. A great way to show off our developing downtown to visitors and a reason for locals to want to come into the city.

My husband and I were excited to try the food here after looking at the menu, and it did not disappoint. Lots of variety on the menu and something for everyone. Food we got was delicious - my husband got an apple cider glazed chicken bowl and I got one of specials for the day which was a pizza. We also got the buffalo cauliflower which was also fantastic! Our server was hustling all night, he did a great job with the number of tables he had. We definitely plan on coming back.

Loved the menu options and loved the atmosphere! The food was very good and the prices are reasonable considering the quality of food being served. They also have an outdoor seating area. I would most definitely recommend this restaurant! (Wood Fire pizza, Chicken Gyro, Lemon Parm Brussels w/ bacon and Calamari)
