I’m giving a 5 because I have been here a few times and the food and service are consistently good. On this occasion we stopped in for dinner on the Saturday of Valentines weekend. We sat at the bar - that’s our preference - but it didn’t seem as busy as I was expecting, I’m sure due to the questionable winter weather forecast. We were greeted by the bartender immediately. We ordered drinks and dinner. The food was very good. They make the pasta in-house according to the menu and it was all delicious. We ended up getting the house-made peanut butter pie to go and it is currently in the freezer. I will update the post when we eat it just to let you know on that. The bartender, Dorrie, was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is laidback and casual. They have an outdoor patio that I have yet to be on. Hershey is local for us so we will be back here again I’m sure.

I really loved my seafood pasta. I took home leftovers because it was such a big portion and had a great lunch the next day. The dessert was also very good and it's rare to find a restaurant with really good dessert. This is my favorite restaurant in Hershey so far & we will be returning here. It is pricey though. Think we paid 100 or more with tip. I don't like their system of charging you on the spot as opposed to presenting you with a check so you can look over the bill & decide the tip at your leisure. We went here over the summer when it's too crowded with tourists so I'd rather come here off season.

Our first time here because some friends recommended it. Delicious food!! So worth every penny. The crab cake was mostly crab and only a little “cake” to hold it together. Steak was good too! Wish I had asked for some steak sauce with it, but the mustard sauce side was delicious!! We’ll be back.

Love this place. First visit, but won’t be our last. The food is awesome, the atmosphere and cleanliness of the restaurant is top notch. The menu is very large with just about anything you could want. Ricky our server was great, he was friendly and helpful in helping us with our meal selections. It’s located right in the heart of town among all the other shops and restaurants. A real find for us, we will be back. Can’t wait to try other items on the vast menu.

Traveling with a friend for work and leisure last few days. Ate out a lot at nice places. This was the best food we have had. Buratta app, Shrimp Street Corn Risotto and Thai Wrap. Everything was AMAZING. The dressing on the wrap...everything was done and served to perfection. Service was great too. And good cocktails to top it off. Would come eat the exact same thing again!

Wait time was pretty manageable for rush hour on a Friday night. Service was great. Appetizers were served quick however the cheese fries did not have melted cheese. Food tasted great. If you are 1st responder or military they honor discounts.

We made a reservation for 8 PM and got sat a few minutes early. Everything here was delicious and nicely presented. My wife is impressed by small things like waitresses not needing to write anything down with accommodations she asks for due to her being a picky eater. Brandie was fantastic and everything came out perfect and timely. The food was delightful, atmosphere was very family friendly, and overall good. I don’t remember what my burger was called, but it had the bacon jam on it and it was amazing - I’ll get it again. We will be back to try the lobster risotto, based on other reviews. My wife was bummed that they ran out of peanut butter pie! That’s why we picked this place... next time!

By far the best food we have had on our girls getaway in Hershey. The seafood pasta dish was delicious. The seafood was a substantial portion for the price, well cooked and took home enough for dinner the next day. My friend requested to get the Asian Chicken dish made with scallops instead and they were happy to do so with a cost increase which was completely expected. It was amazing perfectly cooked scallops and delicious, if I was nearby I would have asked for that on our next visit. Servers were spot on bring refills on drinks before they were empty. Also when we arrived we asked to sit outside but the hostess stated it’s going to rain in twenty minutes and we don’t want you to get wet and they were absolutely correct. Come eat here and make a reservation we are glad we did!!
