Balance Restaurant

"Personal service from the owners made a special night more special. We were celebrating my fathers birthday and owners Amanda and Dallas gave him some extra social attention, food recommendations and free dessert. The food is such an interesting compilation of items you won’t find on other local menus. A great atmosphere, very cool vibe make this a place we will visit again. They make delicious soups! We’ve never had one we didn’t like. The short ribs were delicious— a highlight. And the Brussels Sprouts appetizer and the Bacon appetizers were favorites too! Great meal!"

"This was our first time here. Made the decision to eat here based on the vegan options available for me. The hummus was great, with the exception of being a little salty for my taste. My vegan mushroom risotto was very bitter and overall lacking flavor. My wife’s protein bowl looked very good and she was happy with her choice. Our server was not really on her game when we were in, very absent and distracted. Our drinks were empty most of our meal. I had to ask for my wife’s food after mine was out long before the server came around again. It obviously wasn’t made before I asked. I’m hoping for a better experience the next time around."

"Came here with my parents for dinner on a Friday night. We all enjoyed the experience. I hope this place thrives. The food was excellent. All three of us ordered chicken soup, which was was served with a slice of bread on the side. The soup and and the bread were both exquisite. Definitely made by someone who knows how to cook. It’s the best chicken soup I’ve had in a long time— flavorful and reminiscent of the soup my grandma used to make. And the bread was supposedly made locally. It was lightly coated with olive oil and a little salt. For our main dishes, my dad ordered a grain bowl, my mom got a rice bowl, and I had the protein bowl. All of our meals were delicious. I liked the tarragon dressing on my protein salad. My dad’s grain bowl was delicious too but it was a lot of grain— some lettuce greens in the bottom would have helped to lighten it up a bit. But nevertheless, it was all very good and we were very pleased with everything. The staff was also nice and attentive. Happy to have this restaurant in town. I will definitely come here again when I visit Johnstown."

"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."

"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)"
