   One of the best meals we've ever had. The atmosphere/ambience is wonderful. The service was outstanding-- shout out to our server, John, who offered his expert recommendations throughout our meal. Highly recommended the scallops, beef tartar, and Caesar salad as appetizer choices. For entrees, highly recommend the wagyu ribeye and filet mignon. The desserts are all wonderful-- chocolate souffle, cheese board, and the mixed chocolate for 2-- can't go wrong.

   Always an excellent meal. Chocolate lovers dessert for 2 people is more like for 4 people.

   The room was very cold. The kale (or whatever it was) was extremely salty.

   Had another fabulous dining experience at The Circular last night. Filet Mignon tender and cooked to perfection (medium rare). Staff were their usual selves: attentive, courteous, and very competent. Kudos especially to our waiter Mike and his supervisor Jeff for their friendliness and helpfulness. If you have a special occasion or even if you do not, you can't go wrong by dining at The Circular. Oh yes, don't forget the Signature chocolate martini!

   Had another fabulous evening at the Circular last night. The Circular has it all: welcoming and attentive staff, delicious entrees and appetizers, and a beautiful decorated venue with a sweeping view of well-manicured lawns and gardens. I had lobster bisque and salmon: both were perfectly prepared and artistically displayed. My wife had a beet salad and the codfish. Also scrumptious. While the menu offers a good variety of choices, dare I say it is somewhat hoity-toity. I would prefer the addition of some more basic "meat and potato " offerings, but that's just me. By the size of the crowds, others others seem to find the menu to their liking. To end on a high note: try the Signature chocolate martini. It is a must. I just wish I could drink more than one.

   Excellent meal. Our guests, who had not dined here previously, were very impressed. The pea soup was both delicious and a work of art. The hostess worked hard to accommodate the request on our reservation for a window table. Only the spheres old fashioned wasn’t up to par this visit.

   A truly superb venue. Excellent food, prepared right to one's taste, and presented in an attractive manner. My wife and I both had filet mignon which was tender and cooked to our instructions. Staff, especially, our waiter Mike was friendly, attentive, always there to make sure we got what we wanted. An especially nice touch, which today you don't often see, was the Dining Room Supervisor stopping by to insure everything was satisfactory. Unfortunately, as is the case today, dress standards are not what they were even a few years ago. However, the Circular's policy is that hats, graphic t-shirts, and tank tops are not allowed for gentlemen. It's a good start. Fabulous place to dine. We always stop here for several dinners when staying at the Hotel Hershey.

   Our first dining experience at The Circular and it was fantastic. Our waiter, Joseph, was attentive, knowledgeable and pleasant. The food was amazing and the restaurant is stunning with views of the hotel grounds.

   Overall, our party's food was very good in the Circular Dining room. The appetizer containing 2 scallops for $26 was way overpriced. would not recommend the spring cassolet, but the pork, cod and fillet dishes were excellent. There were no specials on a Saturday night.
