this was one of the BEST meals we've had in a long while and my husband and i are foodies !
Delicious meal. Mike was an excellent server. Wish the Circular would go back to more formal dining attire as the presentation of the food and price point warrants a more elegant experience.
Amazing our server, Joe C. was above and beyond. Super nice, very attentive. went for my boyfriend's birthday, and I can say this place is fantastic. The steaks we cooked perfectly the drinks are top. Everything about this place is great. I'm definitely coming back.
Fabulous from beginning to end....the atmospheres is elegant...the service is outstanding...and the food is delectable!
Just had to leave a review to rave about how fantastic Rose’s hospitality is! Her service was absolutely amazing—truly above and beyond. She’s the sweetest person in the building and made the entire experience so warm and welcoming. Thank you, Rose!
Absolutely wonderful food presentation and the taste was fantastic! The service and atmosphere were top notch!
We stopped in for drinks, and were totally impressed!
The Circular has a truly best in class elevated cocktail experience provided by Lauren who is a true mixologist!
She listened to our cocktail preferences and was able to create tasty, yet complex and beautiful cocktails.
10/10, highly recommended!
All were amazing (a few names below)
Hubba Bubba
The land of Oz
Mexican Candy
Lauren made fantastic drinks! The Bubba was the perfect summer cocktail, infused vodka, pomegranate juice, and honey simple syrup came together perfectly. The Hansel and Gretel was a fun and refreshing mix of mint, lemon, and bourbon, surprisingly light and ideal for warm weather.
As a local, this is easily one of the best spots in the area for a great drink and a relaxed vibe. The bar is usually open and welcoming, and it’s always a solid choice for a fun night out. Highly recommend!
Thoroughly enjoyed the historic ambience of the Hershey Hotel Circular Dining room. This establishment has always been a great place to go to relive the opulence of yesteryear. The building is well maintained and food is top rate. A visit here is for those who value the tradition of treating yourself to the top rung of the ladder.
Living nearby we go to the Circular often especially for milestone events like birthdays which we were celebrating at our last visit. John, an elderly but kind and efficient (except for one instance) server was good and we remembered each other from a previous visit. My wife, who was celebrating her B-day ordered the veal which was very good but her vegetables we under cooked (almost raw) and I ordered a pork tenderloin which was over cooked, almost inedible and I left 3/4 of it on my plate. I would have sent it back but we waited almost one hour for our dinners with my wife also requesting John to check on our orders. I didn't want to wait for another long time for a replacement dinner. I did tell another server (not John) when he cleared our table that my dinner was "overcooked and dried out". He said that he would mention it to someone but no response to my comments was made. This is the third time in a row that we've not been very happy with dinning at the Circular so now we're considering going someplace else instead. I don't know what the problem is but maybe it's in training or quality control. We were, in a word, disappointed and hopeful that the Circular can again become the high quality restaurant we remember. I don't mind paying a higher cost for a meal if it's properly done and the service is better.

Restaurant was empty and yet we weren't seated by a window despite them knowing that we were celebrating a birthday Was told fixed price menu would be available when Hershey called to confirm and the waiter was aghast Very pretentious in dress code yet server did not remove wine glasses The cheeseboard was a disgrace The scallops were salty The plates were awkwardly shaped And it cost 100.00 for a less than mediocre cheese board, ceasar salad, scallop appetizer and burger. Very disappointed and would have booked elsewhere if the confirmation call had told me the fixed price wasn't available Reminded me of a faux scene from the Tropicana in ac not fine dining
Venue is nice but we expect a bit more elegance. Service was marginal. Service was slow and many things were just done haphazardly. Ordered bread basket at $7+. Server did not see we did not have bread plates until after our main course arrived. Which was late. She never reported wine and we had to ask to have more water. Her explanation of our meal selection was totally off. We ended up getting much more than we needed and dish was not as explained. Meals are served on placemats. Server never came back to check on us until we were finished eating. Not what I expected with this quality and price point establishment. Food was good. The rib eye was excellent. Everything else was ok
As a veetarian the menu is limited, so multiple dinners there wouid be challenging. As a pescatarian, at least there was a choice between two dishes, but one had a ham flavored sauce. Each meal was attractively served, we had an interesting salad and, of course, some chocolate dessert. Well done, Hershey!!!
From the moment we were seated and addressed as Mr. And Mrs. it was an elegant experience the we will remember for the rest of our lives.
This is one of the more expensive restaurants in the area, but it's worth every penny. All the food we had from appetizers to dessert was absolutely fantastic. The service was excellent, and the layout of the restaurant itself creates a lot of nice ambience with all the window space.
