Balance - Cambria City

Balance is in the top tier of restaurants in Johnstown! Modern, clean, well trained staff, an outstanding kitchen crew. You really owe it to yourself to go there if you haven’t been. Rotating menus designed by the chef and I have never received anything that wasn’t top notch.

Had the Remy wrap with chips. Favorite parts about the wrap were the caramelized onions and the spicy mayo.

Good clean eating. The menu is definitely good, too. The service was great! They were booked, so we sat at the bar. Bartender was awesome; she was friendly and attentive. Try the warm goat cheese dip app; it was amazing!!

The entire table enjoyed the food and atmosphere. I’ll probably stop back sometime in the future.

I had dinner at Balance a few weeks ago. They recently added a luncheon menu but I have not tried it yet, that being said, I was impressed with the food, the physical layout of the restaurant and the service. First, the lights were comfortably dim, the seating comfy, lots of wood, brick walls, quiet. The bar area in the front had an Aerogarden from which I assume they got fresh mint or herbs. We had the large salad with roasted beets and dried fruit, the vegan mushroom risotto, and Brussels sprouts without Parmesan. All were excellent and we shared our food, a custom not common to our town. The mixed drinks were unique and surprising combinations and quite powerful on an empty stomach. We met the manager who told us they grew many of their micro greens upstairs in a hydroponic garden. The staff was knowledgeable about vegan and gluten free options, the wait short. We requested more vegan foods (like the impossible burger or a good vegan dessert) and hope they’ll add more as their menus change by season and they add lunch options. We’d also like to attend when they have a musical group on weekends. Five stars. Very enjoyable visit and we’ll go again for sure.
