My wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary with dinner at the Circular restaurant at the Hotel Hershey. The hotel property is just fabulous and would rival the campus of The Homestead. We found our waiter to be very attentive, calling us by our last name, and making menu suggestions at the table. The food was wonderful, the service was... More

I am a little disappointed in the service as the place is gorgeous! The "Management" was very attentive but the bartender absolutely needed help in a big way! We did get our wine right away, which was nice but then it took about 30 minutes just to order! Really! Finally a second Bartender came in and helped and kept appologizing... More

It really hurts to write this review as I would love to be able to say great things about the restaurant but no such luck. The food was just terrible! 1st was the lobster bisque. It tasted like a combination of heavy cream and flour. My husband and I agreed that if we had not known that it was Lobster... More

If you can only choose one of the 3 restaurants on property this is the way to go. The food is tops and the service was excellent. The Rock shrimp app was a keeper and the filet was cooked perfectly.

I think we set our expectations too high, but for $200 I would think the food would have been better overall. Went for a landmark birthday dinner, we were seated at a nice table with a large window view. The waiter was pleasant and informative. We had 2 signature cocktails that were excellent. Warm bread arrived with sea salted butter,... More

On a recent stay at a nearby B & B, we elected to visit the iconic Hotel Hershey. The customer service at the property was first rate from the doorman to the gift shop clerk. Every employee greets you with a smile and an offer of assistance. They match Disney for their staff training. Even though we were not guests... More

My husband and I have celebrated many occasions in the Circular Dining Room at the Hotel Hershey. I was just there this past weekend for dinner, my first time back since the renovation, and I have to say I am saddened by the changes. The dining room to me feels as though it lost its character and now is just... More

Fabulous renovations are complete. Food is excellent and the attention to detail is obvious everywhere you look. Sampled some great wines and had a great 4 course meal. Worth a little extra to get this kind of meal and service.

The service was extraordinary, the food was expertly prepared and presented and tasted great. We were not rushed...instead we were made to feel like we were the only priority in a room full of patrons. The newly renovated space is warm and inviting. Could not imagine a better evening. We will definitely go back!
