Gas Light Brewery & Resturant

• It's has a nice looking sign outside.
• Bas food, beer and service.

“The food, beer and service is terribly. Don't waste your time or money. Much better places in town with better crowds, food, and atmosphere. The bartender was weird and creepy. If your a girl, I would not show this guy your driver license/ID with your home address. I'm hoping the owner or owners have done a full background check, and some drug testing on this guy. Something is not right with this guy.”

• Not too crowded. Family friendly.
• It needs to be updated and not take its diners so much for granted.

“The pub/bar part in the front of the restaurant is a good hangout/sports bar type place, but the restaurant part in the back is old, stale and has average service and food. It is certainly not a place to go out of your way for, unless all the other nearby places are full.”

Toro Loco

Overall Rating: 4

• Friendly staff.
• Bland food and relatively slow service.

“Mediocre food, mediocre service, decent atmosphere. A little pricy for what you get ($11 for most meals, $20-$25 for seafood and pricey dishes). The food was bland and the service was a little slow, but considerate. The food wasn't bad exactly; it just wasn't flavorful. I think everyone at the table went for the less expensive meals, and this was the consensus for all five of us. Maybe if you fork out for the pricy seafood it will be better.”

• Nice lamps on the tables.
• Service is awful.

“Nice atmosphere & if I came only for the pub, I would have likely rated this higher. Food is okay. But I have had several dinners where the entree is not served to everyone at the table simultaneously - and I don't mean a difference of 5 or 10 minutes -- how about 20 to 25 min later! And management does not care. I won't return.”

• Food great, especially pizza.
• Parking, we always had to park across the street and cross SO Ave with the kids.

“Originally from Roselle NJ, and then Newark, we used to go here as a family often. I miss it and the GREAT PIZZA. People here in PA do not know good pizza. I think it's the water here, but the crust often misses the spot. As I have not eaten there in years, I do not know what they are like now, but when we used to go it was great. Next time I am in Jersey, I will bring my PA husband there. He raves about Philly pizza and I tell him he does not know what good pizza is. Thanks for your time and I hope this helps anyone contemplating eating here.”

• Pizza is unbeatable.
• The rest of the menu is tasteless and a waste of money.

“The pizza is incredible. It's delicious and has a very original flavor and style. I'd go to the Reservoir for pizza over any other place. Their regular entrees, on the other hand, are so bland, boring and a waste of money. Their linguine and clams is tasteless and they clearly use canned clams. Every other entree has been tasteless as well. There's nothing special about their take on Italian cuisine. It is what it is. If it's Cavatelli and broccoli, don't expect there to be a hint of garlic or oregano, or anything special in it: all that will be there is the broccoli and the Cavatelli. I don't even think they use salt and pepper. Very over-priced. So I only highly recommend their pizza, as it is unbeatable. They fall very short with their other cuisine and I'd steer clear.”

• Real authentic pizza. Not cardboard with fake cheese.
• They don't take charge cards only cash.

“This is the best pizza for miles. In a day when pizza places are every few hundred feet hardly anyone even competes with this place. Loud and friendly, small and almost claustrophobic creates the feeling that you¿re in your family¿s kitchen with a whole mess of friends. The food is all top quality. I live seventy miles away now and we still manage to get our fix. I have turned people on to reservoir for years. They come from as far as short hills and even further for a pie. It's a traditional pie a little small but the flavor, wow. Try it you will not be disappointed. Don't forget cash they don't take credit cards. My family has eaten their food for over forty years. They were originally in Newark. Enjoy.”

• Food is great; portions are huge, great value.
• It's usually crowded and loud, very tight seating.

“Perfect for a night out with the family if you don't mind it being crowded. You can bring your own booze which saves on the expense. We always get the fried calamari appetizer for about $10 which is huge and our kids love. The kids eat the pizza which is very good and also about $10. Penne vodka is one of our favorites and a nice price at $11, the chicken Murphy is the best I¿ve had and is around $16. The entrees are also huge; we wind up getting another whole meal out of the leftovers. ”

• Great bartending, good potato skins, nice pub feel but with a great restaurant side as well.
• Frozen yogurt machine was broken, a little dark at the bar.

“Cyan's is a great establishment. The food is exceptional for the prices you pay, and the atmosphere is one of hardy enjoyment all around. It's a wonderful bar to socialize at as well. If you're Irish, then this is the place for you and even if your not, the food, drinks, and people are bound to draw you in.”
