Best Restaurants Open for Newyears Eve this year in Hershey – 2024

My experience at What If of Hershey was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by the atmosphere and the impeccable service. Our server, Alec, was from another planet—his attentiveness and warmth made the entire evening unforgettable. The food was unbelievably delicious, each dish bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The drinks were crafted with such precision that they felt like an art form, and the dessert? Wow—there are no words to describe how incredible it was. This restaurant is a must-visit. I will definitely be recommending What If of Hershey to everyone I know! Feel free to use this as is or adjust it to your liking!

First time here and won’t be our last. Our waitress Brooke was amazing. She gave great recommendations and when she recommended the spiced pear martini she said “it’s like fall in a glass” and she wasn’t wrong. Our food was amazing and I can not wait to return!

Great atmosphere in the restaurant, though is in a weird location, underneath the checking area of a Howard Johnson Motel. You walk right between the desk and the room where the do the free continental breakfast and take stairs down to the basement. But once there, it is a unique experience. A little pricey, but worth every penny. The food was amazing, lamb cooked to perfection with mashed potatoes and green beans that were fresh and cooked perfectly. We shared a pan fried scallops appetizer, though way too pricey for the quantity you got,, was cooked perfectly they melted in your mouth with a raspberry sauce drizzled on the plate. Never would of thought raspberry with scallops, but it was the perfect contrast on the palette.The staff couldn't have been more gracious. And the dining room itself was perfect for anything from a romantic dinner, celebration, or just a food lover wanting a nice quiet spot. I will definitely go there regularly

Went there for my birthday dinner. We had grilled octopus for appetizer. I had the Tuscan steak for entree. The portion size was huge & it was one of the best steaks I have ever eaten. My husband had the Branzino. He liked it but it was little dry for me as there was no sauce pairing with it. For dessert we had tiramisu which was so delicious.

Wonderful dining experience in a world class hotel. The ambience and view was inviting and subdued in a serene setting. Our server, was kind, expendable with her time, was very open and proud of her long term employment with the Hotel Hersey and was gushing how well they are viewed and she found value working there. The food was 4 star quality, with huge portions, freshest of ingredients and flavor. My wife had a Chocolate Martini and was well "pleased". The staff complemented each other, and we felt no rushed dining experience and left both fully satisfied.

Our server (Danielle) was absolutely wonderful. She gave us great service, good recommendations on food. She was very outgoing and kind. The food was delicious and very filling. Only tweak would be to offer lemon with water. Something silly.

This place was a bit more mixed than I thought it would have been going into it. The cocktail was good. I got the golden hour and it was pretty strong and tasty. We had the roasted corn dip and it was good, I just wanted expecting it to be cold. I got the seared scallops. The scallops were buttery and cooked extremely well, I just didn’t like the sweet potato puree it came with. The scallops and shaved apple it came with was very light and the puree just made it much too heavy for the light flavors and textures that were present already. The brisket was incredibly good. Super tender, the sauce was good, and the Mac and cheese was rich and creamy. Overall, the food was good, we just had very slow service and it was hard to get our servers attention. Willing to give it another try, but not sure it was quite up there in service for the price point it’s at.

This is my fave restaurant in/around Hershey. The food is fabulous and there is a rustic ambience in such a wonderful old building that has a lot of character. It’s relaxing, laid back and very inviting. I had the ratatouille pasta and it was cooked perfectly and the veggies were tasty, as usual. I have eaten here many, many times and the menu has never been the same twice. As for the service? It’s fantastic as well.

We celebrated our 30th anniversaries with our friends. We both got married within a couple weeks of each other. I love the atmosphere at this restaurant. We sat on the 2nd floor. Server was amazing. Food came out very quickly. The steak was not real hot but it was seasoned well. Highly recommend this place and would come back again!

I’ve been to Hershey Pantry multiple times. The food & cocktails are always on point. Weather you eat inside or on the patio, the atmosphere is great. The service is USUALLY great! Once or twice my service was slow & the server was short with explaining & stopping at the table. It doesn’t stop me from coming! It’s never the worst & the food makes it worth it! Enjoy!

A friend shared a post on Facebook and I knew I had to check this place out. Even though it's over an hour from my house, I've made 3 trips in the last couple months to eat here. Everything has been delicious. I've tried a couple of special benedicts they offered, and they were both amazing. On the most recent visit, I took a caramel apple cinnamon roll home with me, and I couldn't get over how big it was. And it is just as delicious as it looks. If you get the chance, defintely check this place out!

The wild rice chicken soup is real good. The Nashville hot chicken sandwich with chips is tasty. I had the grilled chicken spinach and fruit salad with lemon poppyseed muffin. The service was good and so was the food. We did not get to sit outside which we wanted but sat inside because there was no wait. It was a beautiful day there too.

Who would have thought! We spent a week in New York, and the best seafood we had was in Hershey Pennsylvania! I asked our server, Kelly, how the lobster roll honestly was. She told me it was amazing, she was not lying! It was INCREDIBLE! I ordered the Connecticut style, per Kelly's suggestion. The bun was buttery and delicate and the lobster was unbelievable! We had the coconut shrimp, also perfect, with, I think, a sweet/spicy chili dip. The coco scallops paired with a mexican street corn risotto was delicious. The crab cakes, paired with a lemon parmesean risotto. These guys are not messing around when it comes to their risotto, it was amazing! And of course, we had the espresso and chocolate martini's, they were both perfection. I believe Kelly told me the Espresso Martini is world famous, that checks! I can honestly say, we will come back, and we are from Utah! Totally worth the stop! Everything was fresh, perfectly cooked, not over or under seasoned, and Kelly was the best!

Employees were super nice and efficient. I didn’t feel rushed and was pleasantly surprised with the amazing tasting food. Server had some great suggestions on what to order and was patient with me to choose. Would highly recommend eating here if you’re looking for a great tasting local place.

Dinner in Hershey town, as we visit to get to the Hersheypark. This place deserves your attention as we had some great fish meals tonight. We chose seafood spring rolls, which we shared and it was lovely. For seconds, my wife had Mahimahi with while rice. I went for a Hoddock fish, not a common choice, but it was brilliant. Sever with mashed potatoes and green beans. I have to say I really enjoyed it. Our son had steak tacos with fries and he’s a fan of guacamole, this was the only thing missing for him. Kids sliders also good. Place seemed crowded but we got our food relatively quickly. Drinks are good, not great. My mojito could be better. Service was nice, friendly, but little chaotic. It was ok though. Definitely the place deserves a solid 4,4-5. As the fish were great I fond value for money very positive.

This place has a HUGE TV at the bar, and it's definitely a nice place to watch a football game or the ball drop on New Year's Eve. It is noisy. Many guests there are families on vacation, and there is a game room. So, at times, lots of kids are running around. There are some good food items on their menu, and some fun drinks. Parking is also convenient.

I took my grandchildren here for dinner. We ordered hamburgers, fish and chips. Chicken tenders and fries. Everything came to our table piping . I can't say that I have ever experienced that before. The food was delicious and they gave you plenty. Our server was kind and courteous (she got a big tip). I highly recommend going here if you have kids or teenagers. It is very kid friendly and I can't wait until our next visit.

Bison burger with cajun spice was excellent. Mushroom burger was also excellent. Oniin rings also very good. Cooked as ordered, service was good, no issues. The atmosphere inside is good, however was a little on the clinical and sterile side and needed some 'warmth'. Great sports theme and great character, but the ambiance could benefit from a little more of a 'home for Christmas sitting by the fireplace' homey feel while still being a sports themed bar.

Food was good, beer was great especially the free samples. Service felt a bit rushed when asking for a nearby ice cream place was told there wasn't one in walking distance but low and behold there was one. Waitress was rushing to get us gone so didn't feel the love. Would recommend going again hopefully with a new waitress

Excellent food! Second time dining there and will definitely return! The best crab cakes I’ve ever had.

Whenever I see tacos, Italian, German, and American food on the same menu, I get a little cautious. But we were here for an event from out of town and decided to give it a try. They let you sample any beer for free which is nice. We were seated quickly, our server was very nice and our food came quickly. The place looks cool and the bathrooms are really clean. The portions were large, I just wish they tasted better. I had the shrimp bucatini which came out really bland. The sauce was broken and it just was not great. It looks like everyone seems to have a good experience here. Maybe a second try of something else would taste better, but I probably wouldn’t come back.

We visited the Iberian Lounge each night during our recent stay at the Hotel Hershey. It is located inside the hotel, on the first floor. You come in and seat yourself. The Olympics were playing each night and everyone was locked in! Our waitress Brittney was great. She was very attentive. The menu is a one pager but the food was delicious. We ordered Pinot Grigio, Prosecco, Cider, Calamari, Meatball Sliders, two House Salads, one with King Salmon. The salads were HUGE! My favorite was the Calamari but everything was great. It was really nice to have a place inside the hotel to relax and unwind. I highly recommend if you are staying at the hotel.

We were greeted right as we walked in. We sat at a table with large, comfortable chairs. Our waitress came to us after only a few moments to collect our order and to bring us some fancy bar nuts. We ordered several drinks and the pretzel. Im not huge on a pretzel, but it was soft in the middle and hot, and they did not go easy on the meats and cheeses the board came with. Our favorite part was the chocolate espresso martinis. They cone with a sugared rim and a hershey kiss at the bottom. 10/10 drink. Will be back for sure.

Didn’t stay here but wanted to check out the bar. Bartender Dan did an awesome jobs with all the cocktails and great conversation. Even when it got busy he made sure we were good. The hotel is beautiful and the bar is just as nice.

Decent place. The goat cheese and artichoke poppers were amazing. The overall atmosphere of the place can be a bit too noisy at times. Depending when you go. You may have to speak louder than you do at most places to hold a conversation. The drinks were made well. I got the hot honey chicken sandwich. It was okay. The server we had seemed new but wasn’t bad.

It came highly recommended by a local lady at a museum we visited. Wish we could've stayed for the live jazz band she recommended. Thanks to our waitress & chef for making it a wonderful experience as well!!! If you like salmon, pesto & spaghetti squash - it was worth the money! My husband got the fish & chips - tasted great (I tried it). Shrooms - first time eating them, Awesome! (I'm not a big fan of mushrooms). Enjoy!

The goat cheese & artichoke poppers were the first truly unique taste I have experienced in years. Our waitress Wendy was very thoughtful and proactive in helping my wife navigate the menu with her food allergies. The burger meat is a combination of brisket, chuck, and sirloin. I am a very picky burger eater and even grow my own grass fed grass finished meat so when I say their burger is amazing, their burger is AMAZING. 11/10, cannot recommend enough. We will be back!!

Although I have been a long time guest of the Hotel Hershey, this was my first time dining in the Harvest. What a great choice! The Harvest restaurant is actually a stand alone building on the outside of the hotel. In the event you are visiting as a non-guest of the hotel, there is plenty of parking available. As guests we walked to the back of the hotel, exited through the rear, and crossed the hotel grounds toward the outdoor pool for access. We arrived for a Thursday lunch date (August 1, 2024) and did not have a reservation but were seated immediately and the staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. Attire is resort casual. The atmosphere is traditional Hershey, which is more like the country club feel that I love. Our waitress Kellie was awesome! She was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu items. We ordered the She-Crab soup, which was more like a bisque. It was thin in texture but very tasty. We also ordered the Farmer’s Green salad with Grilled Shrimp and the Roasted Chicken Breast. All was delicious. I look forward to my next visit and I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the area.

What a wonderful experience for me, my daughter, best friend, and goddaughter. We got to the restaurant late and they still accommodated us...needless to say, the service was amazing! We had such a good time celebrating my daughter and goddaughter birthday. The waiter Ismael was so much fun and kind. Although she was not our waitress, Mary was also amazing! Thank you Harvest for a wonderful experience for me and my ladies. ~Dr. Fuller~

We were staying at the Hotel Hershey and stopped in here when the rain started by the pool. The menu is fantastic- immediately I ordered the Blackberry Vodka drink and Reuben Pierogis which were both the best items I had on any menu during our stay in Hershey. I would return just for them! The burgers and Cobb salad were also great. Would definitely go back.

Pretty good pizza and appetizers. We went there late night on a Saturday and were glad they were still open and servicing food. We tried the calamari, shrimp bruschetta, mushroom pizza and a classic cheese pizza. Everything tasted very good. The mushroom pizza was a big hit even with our picky 7 year old.

When it comes to feeling like a gangster when eating delicious Italian food, there’s no better place than Fenicci’s. Our server’s no-nonsense attitude was authentically charming, and she was very good at her job. The food was fantastic, our drinks were never empty, and they even give you a certificate of completion if you finish the lasagna. Fennici’s is fabulous, folks.

This was a Saturday late lunch for a group and most of us ordered salads which were all crisp and with fresh ingredients. I wish they made small or at least medium pizza not only the large which had 16 slices. The pizzas look amazing but of course I didn’t taste … Service was great, and accommodating. We will return!

An exceptional dining experience from start to finish! The service, atmosphere, and food were all top-notch. If you’re seeking fine dining in Hershey, this is the place to be. The seafood menu offers an impressive array of options, and the service is delightfully swift. The cheddar biscuits with honey butter are absolutely divine and could easily be a meal on their own. We savored the Shrimp Campanella, the Ceased Salad, and sampled every oyster which left us thoroughly satisfied. Our server, Avila, and food runner, Kellen, were a seamless team, enhancing our experience with their flawless service, so attentive! We finished with a delectable cheesecake and a few well-crafted drinks. Every moment of our dining experience was simply fantastic!

Our waiter Darryn was great he knew it was my birthday and brought me out a dessert with a candle. It was a nice touch. The food was amazing. Calamari for appetizer. One meal was halibut, carrots, and cream corn with bacon and the other meal was the surf and turf with shrimp & scallops.

My husband and I went there last Friday for the first time for a date night. It was so relaxing and the food and drinks were delicious. Philip was our server and he was phenomenal. He knew the menu so well and was so friendly and personable. We highly recommend Devon's. Thank you for a wonderful night!
