A wonderful anniversary dinner! Food and presentation are excellent. Really enjoyed the Hershey Kiss martini, too

Our server Nate was excellent. My mom has a gluten allergy and he was very accommodating to help her navigate the menu. All the food was very good. The steaks were done perfectly. Desserts were excellent. We loved the dip with the duck fat chips. Overall great dining experience

Elegance and a wonderful experience. The food was amazing and the chocolate martini is a must try! Service was subtle and attentive at all times. A very wonderful place to celebrate a special evening

One of the best short ribs I have ever had. Thank you for yhr chocolate covered strawberrys on the house for my girls bday. On of the best places. Worth every penny

The finest meal I've ever had, excellent service and staff

The Circular Dining Room at Hotel Hershey offers a mixed experience, with slow service and unimpressed customers. Despite some negative encounters with staff, there are still standout dishes like the rack of lamb and exceptional service from certain waitstaff. Overall, the restaurant seems to have some issues with consistency and hospitality. However, the beautiful setting and delicious food make some diners willing to overlook the missteps for a chance to enjoy the outstanding menu offerings. Guests are drawn back by the unique flavors and the promise of a memorable dining experience at the elegant Trevi 5.

Wonderful dinner and service. There was a loud party of approximately 12 diners, which made the ambiance a little less than perfect.

First time at the Circular, food, drink and service were all very good. Mike our waiter took care of us. We will return.

Our hostess is the reason for the low score. Food was good, our waiter, Patrick was fine, but the hostess became immediately annoyed when we asked for a different table. Our party of 4 was initially seated at a rectangular table for 6 making conversation difficult. We asked to be moved and even though there were open 4 tops she made us wait 10-15 minutes as a “penalty” for daring to ask to be moved. She has tainted our opinion of the Circular Dining Room going forward and it is extremely unlikely we will return. We will be contacting the Hotel management concerning this experience.

Very delicious food with a large variety for a brunch. Especially if one likes chocolate.

Very disappointing. I'll keep this brief. Seated at a table missing flatware. Waited 15 minutes for the assistant to the waiter to bring water. Waiter appeared a few minutes later with an apology. We ordered the bread service. Came out with barely enough butter for one roll. Still no flatware and no bread plates. Ordered lobster bisque. It was a bowl of brown gravy. Seriously. Served cold. No spoon. Skip to asking for water 4 times, from several different staff. Rest of the food was poorly prepared. Vastly overrated and overpriced. Under staffed. Teenagers were running the flagship restaurant. No pen to sign the bill. Had to ask for one. Was that a sign?

I have had dinner at the Circular numerous times with my family. I most recently celebrated my birthday there in September and also had dinner with my husband this past May. The new chef has made some amazing changes and we were not only blown away by the food but also the service. It is an experience. We love the Circular!!!!

The food was exceptional and creative. Chef Barton Umidi truly excels, and I can't wait to dine here again. Our waiter, Patrick, was fantastic and well-informed. Lena was also very attentive to our table and our needs.

Our second experience was an improvement. We ordered our drinks at the Iberian Lounge, and the food was just as good, with better attention from the staff. We have been dining here for 22 years while attending the AACA Eastern Regional, and the establishment is always evolving. We do miss the tablecloths and candelabras, as well as the staff and friends who are no longer here.

I had a wonderful meal at The Circular! The food was amazing, and the service was exceptional. There's nothing better than enjoying fantastic cuisine in a beautiful setting. The restaurant itself is gorgeous, and everything from the service to the food was top-notch. Highly recommended!
