Restaurants in/near Wilkes Barre

[skinsey123]

Heading to Wilkes Barre for a bachelor party of sorts this weekend, with people coming in from all over the place. 10 - 12 of us.

I've been trawling the web looking for a restaurant, and haven't had much luck finding something that looked interesting. And, unfortunately, the hotel had ZERO recommendations other than some new Asian restaurant attached to the hotel - Oyster's. Isabella's seemed interesting, but that was based on 1 online review and nice looking website.

Any recommendations? Ideally, we'd like something on the some what higher end (Steaks, fish, etc.), american/continental, or perhaps a brew pub.

Thanks in advance for the ideas!

Alas Team Delta is not conducting SERE training this weekend or I could whip your group up a kettle of my infamous boiled white bread.

Pizza my not be sufficiently high cuisine for your needs, but there is a place in Exeter, a suburb of Wilkes-Barre (on the way to the airport) that serves outstanding rectangular pizza. L'Oven, 1259 Wyoming Ave

Alora in Peckville (Italian).

I've heard good things about Michaelangelo's Restaurant in Clarks Summit (higher-end New American).

There's always Cooper's Seafood House in Scranton.
