Absolutely beautiful and friendly. Just 1-hr, from my home, this is a treasure that I was so impressed with. Beautiful hotel and city.
Sunday brunch was great. Everything was wonderful. We celebrated my mom’s 70th birthday!
I did feel bad for the bellman and the parking valet having to be outside 24/7 in the freezing temps. I would suggest that maybe the management consider allowing them to wait for arrivals in the heated area. It’s just simply too cold for the staff to be outside freezing.
The ambience and food here is wonderful. They do need to work on their table service and bar service. The last 2 years the service has been slow like ridiculously slow. It took almost an hour to get our $16 xmas martinis from the bar and 3 of them were wrong (which they corrected) There were things we asked for that just never got delivered with our meals or after. service definitely needs work.

The Historic Hotel Bethlehem's 1741 on the Terrace offers a varied dining experience with good food and service. The menu features classic dishes such as the burger with salad, shrimp cocktail, and peach cobbler à la mode, which have received positive feedback for their taste and prompt service. Recent reviews highlight the excellent menu and delicious food, with some dishes like the shrimp cocktail and peach cobbler highly praised. Guests particularly enjoy the beautiful building and lovely setting, with large arched windows overlooking mountain views that add to its charm. The ambiance is often described as lovely, especially during brunch, though service can sometimes be lacking, such as inattentive waiters and slow refills, which can make guests feel rushed or like an inconvenience.
The restaurant's historic surroundings and scenic views create a special atmosphere, making it a popular spot for brunch and relaxing meals. However, during weekends when weddings are held at the hotel, the noise level can become extremely loud due to revelry and music from bands or DJs upstairs, making it difficult to sit and talk in the lounge or restaurant. Guests mention that the loud music can last for the entire wedding reception, impacting the overall experience, especially when trying to enjoy time outside of their rooms.
While some dishes like the Salmon have been excellent, others, such as grilled eggplant, have been considered bland and tasteless. There are occasional issues with service, including impatience and inattentiveness from waitstaff, and in one case, a tough steak that was unchewable. Despite these service challenges, the overall setting remains enjoyable, with many guests appreciating the scenic views and unique dishes like the carrot mash that pairs well with lamb chops.
The room can sometimes present acoustic challenges due to its size, but once disruptive guests leave, the ambiance improves, allowing for a more peaceful dining experience. The restaurant is not always busy, making it a good place for a relaxed meal with a view. Overall, 1741 on the Terrace is a memorable spot, especially for those seeking a beautiful setting or a special brunch, though visitors should be aware of possible noise during wedding weekends.
