We recently were visiting the Hershey area with out new puppy and wanted a nice dinner. After a very disrespectful experience at a competing establishment that as a reputation for being pet-friendly (they are not) we found the Chocolate Ave. Grill. I worked in Hershey...for a number of years and remember this being a step-up from a diner. Times have changed, and so has the Grill. First, they were more than welcoming with our well-behaved four-legged traveler. We were seated on the patio outdoors, and despite being November, their heating system did an awesome job of keeping us comfortable without jackets (maybe even a little TOO warm). Next, the drinks were well mixed and balanced perfectly. They certainly were not stingy with the alcohol but it was blended perfectly so the taste of the alcohol didn't overpower the taste of the drink. The food was absolutely incredible. The portion size reminded me of a their diner roots, but the quality of food was gourmet. This includes everything from their bread and butter, of course the entrees, and incredible deserts. Service was amazing, and everyone on the staff was friendly. The prices are modest but reasonable, but most importantly, the tab at the end was 100% worth it for an amazing dining experience! Thank you, we will be back - and we will bring friends!More
