Lobster Taco
Zhen L.

The Chocolatier was recommended by a friend that frequent here often. She says I should come just for the experience. It definitely was an experience ONLY. I do favor chocolate as far as candy wise but not too excited when it is on food. So I was very skeptical. Me and my family had a wild day at Hershey Park and I figured we should end the day with a dine. So I chose The Chocolatier. Upon entering, we were greeted and seated immediately without any wait. I loved the fun decoration of The Chocolatier. Our Waitress Ella came 10 minutes after we were seated and took our drinks. I ordered Ferris Wheel Sampler, Shrimp Cocktail, Lobster Taco, Park Breeze, and 3 Cookies and Cream Milkshakes. If you think this is a little bit of food then you are wrong lol. Hubby only wanted the milkshake. And my daughter also only wants the milkshake. The other items are all for me:) Ferris Wheel Sampler looks really cute but I found the appetizers to be very mediocre. Shrimp Cocktail's shrimps are overcooked and extremely chewy. Lobster Taco are mediocre as well. And the Cookies and Cream milkshake are not actually cookies and cream ice cream, it tastes like vanilla ice cream mix with cookies. Will I come back? Maybe, but I won't get these again! My bill is around $167 and I left Ella a $40 tip. For a meal that's over $200, I expect to eat better. Even though The Chocolatier accept Apple Pay, you have to walk with your server to their station in order to pay for it. Payment system is outdated. Unlike The Yard House and other restaurant, you can paid at your table.

The appetizer ferris wheel was so fun! The wings had some chocolate sauce blend which was unique and good to try too. I didn't love the French onion soup dip but everything else that came on it was so good. It was fun to dine at a restaurant on top of the gift shop and just steps away from the park.

Short ribs

Our last visit to The Chocolatier was back in 2021, so we were interested to see how things had changed. One thing I definitely like better now is that they take reservations, and I would highly recommend making one. Otherwise, you could be looking at a pretty long wait. Our service was excellent. Our waitress did a great job taking care of us and managed to make sure our drinks were never empty, which is basically the restaurant equivalent of having a personal pit crew. One thing we discovered on the appetizer menu is the half-moon mozzarella. They're listed as part of the larger "Ferris Wheel" appetizer, but we asked if we could order them separately and were told yes. You get four for $15, and they were actually quite good. Unfortunately, the rest of the meal was more average. I ordered the short ribs with mashed potatoes. The meat was tender, but it was also somewhat fatty and didn't have much flavor. My wife and son both ordered burgers, which were OK but nothing particularly memorable. They do offer gluten-free buns, which was a nice bonus and definitely appreciated. Since we were attending a concert, the location was extremely convenient and made grabbing dinner beforehand an easy choice. However, convenience comes at a price here. You're paying a pretty penny for food that, at least during our visit, was just average. Overall, the service was excellent, the mozzarella was good, and the convenience can't be beat if you're attending an event. But at these prices, I was hoping the food would be more of a standout.

Heath salmon

Came here on a Monday night with my family for dinner. It was a 30 minute wait or we could sit at bar which we did with our 4 and 6 year old. Service was a little slower but they were very nice. I got the Reese's Martini which i enjoyed. For dinner i got the heaths salmon. It was really good. My girls got the kids chicken tenders which was good. Overall we had a good experience. If you can make reservations, i would so you don't have to wait and you can get a table.

Salmon
Marisa M.

Made a reservation for 2 and was seated on time. We ordered food right away and it took about a half hour for two meals. I got the heath bar crunch salmon. Salmon was cooked well done, very salty topping. I expected it to be more sweet. The potato's and the asparagus it came with were also very salty, I could barely finish it. And I noticed it came with different vegetables than other pictures. My husband got the buratta app for his main and liked it but didn't think the sauce tasted like twizlers. Not terrible prices, same as if going out to eat around nyc. The ambiance was fine, it was at the top of the stairs of a chocolate store. I probably wouldn't go back but they do have unique Hershey inspired dishes.

I don't get why this place isn't rated higher -- we had an awesome lunch here. The vibe was upbeat, the food was great, and everything came out looking way better than I expected. My daughter got a mint chocolate chip milkshake that was huge. She kept talking about how good it was for the rest of the day. We split the pork nachos, and I'm not exaggerating when I say they were the best nachos I've ever had. Fresh, moist pork, tons of whole chips, and nothing skimpy about the toppings. My friend tried one of the flatbreads and loved it too. It is a little loud because it's so open, but honestly, I liked the energy. Easy five stars from me.

Fun atmosphere. Interesting menu. Great staff. Got the sausage/apple/butternut squash flatbread. Huge letdown. Flavorless. SO MUCH POTENTIAL wasted. The squash was barely cooked no seasoning and nothing else had much flavor. Use a better cheese blend. Some garlic olive oil sauce would be good on it. Roast the squash! Some maple syrup, paprika, and S&P. This would make it good as opposed to hardly edible. Luckily, they took it off my bill and brought me a simple Cobb salad with their specialty vinaigrette. That was good. Better when they brought me extra dressing so I could actually taste it. My friend got the salmon. Um. It was pretty good. Once again, this could be better. It could have a better crust, but overall, worth ordering. The cast iron skillet is cute, but it caused the fish to overcook as it sat in there. The first bites were good, by halfway through, it was overcooked. Our 2 milkshakes were very good. I would come back and give it another shot, but I recommend a good chef taking a look at these items.

White chocolate martini
Cianah H.

The BEST place in Hershey, PA to get martinis! They have so many varieties. My favorites were the white chocolate and the birthday cake! Their food here is also good, quality and taste wise. Our bartender Cayla was so kind and helpful throughout our time at the Chocolatier. I have been recommending this place to all my friends and family, and I can't wait to come back!!

Bacon from Ferris wheel should have been called pork belly. Very fatty.
Laura G.

Came here with a group of coworkers and our kids. We were able to make a reservation online a couple of days in advance, which was super convenient. Our server was incredibly sweet and friendly. The food is very rich, and of course we had to try the Ferris wheel appetizer. The kids were hoping the different dishes would spin too! Everyone agreed that the bacon was more like pork belly bites--way too fatty. Thin, crispy slices would have been much better. I had the salmon with the Heath Bar crunch - yum! The flavors of the sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and salmon were so rich I couldn't stop eating. The only downside was that the salmon was overcooked. Other dishes at our table included a burger, shrimp risotto, and some kids' meals. Everyone seemed to enjoy their food, and we left completely stuffed. We do wish was that the ice cream shop downstairs stayed open later.

Food was good and server was nice. They have a very large drink menu but the drinks are hit or miss. An espresso martini ordered was very very bitter and the server was able to take it off the tab as it was undrinkable. The second drink was better, but still overly strong - which may be a good thing if that's what you're looking for. Other drinks such as the Bloody Mary and cotton candy martini were really good. The servers seem overly sat making it longer periods of time before our server stopped by again, but could clearly see she was running around and working hard.

The Chocolatier Restaurant
Bill M.

Overall a decent dining experience was had at The Chocolatier. And the general consensus seems to be that the Food here was pretty good but the Drinks stole the freakin show. And well, why not when you're talking about their incredibly indulgent Reese's Martini, or their super deliciously decadent S'mores Martini drinks. It just stands to reason that whatever main courses they served next had very little chance of overshadowing these outstanding refreshments. The Loaded Mac and Cheese with tender Pulled Short Rib and Smoked Cheddar Queso topped with Hershey's Chocolate BBQ Glaze was clearly a winner. Served in a "Kiss" shaped dish and with plenty to go around. [I'm definitely borrowing this recipe peeps] The Bourbon Maple Glazed Chicken and Waffles seemed to be lacking in both texture and flavor unfortunately the hand breaded Chicken offered zero flavor and the same could be said for the bone-dry Waffle. Thanks to that Maple Glaze and Huge Blob of Butter this dish would have had no chance whatsoever, Lol. Above reminds me of a funny restaurant saying I heard years ago- "Just feed them more booze, butter, and salt. They only have to live long enough to pay the check" LMAO!! more or less it's the truth sometimes, Come And Get Your Munch On!!

Stopped by chocolate world and saw the chocolatier and got a reservation on open table right away. We were greeted and seated immediately. Ive included a Pic of the food menu. I got the reeses chicken sandwich which was so good but if you want a strong pb flavor ask for extra sauce on the side. My husband got the chocolate tier burger. Good but same needed more sauce. Fries were crispy and cooked well. Too full for dessert. Service was good. Its a fun casual theme park esthetics like you are in a carousel.

NY Strip Steak
Maria G.

Service was impeccable! Everyone we came across from hostess to server were attentive and welcoming. We decided to give this place a shot since we had been at the park the entire day. The food was definitely hit or miss. The drinks were fantastic! Food wise we enjoyed the ferris wheel sampler the best. Everything included in the sampler was delicious! Especially the glazed bacon bites and fried pickle dip. This was the dip of our dreams! The entrees is where this experience slacked. The loaded mac n cheese had a little too many cocoa nibs. The burgers buns were a bit tough. The NY strip was the best of the entrees we ordered. Overall this is definitely a drinks and small bites type of place. Definitely recommend everyone to make it in at least once to experience all the hershey creations you can't find anywhere else!
