Chocolate Avenue Grill - Hershey

Went this past Saturday August 31st to see if what folks say about this place is true. I was by myself and was added to waitlist shortly after my arrival as they were a little busy and was told it would be a 20 to 30 minute wait. I asked for recommendations of the hostess while I waited and she was friendly enough with replies but didnt make me want to try one entrée over another. My table was ready about 10 to 15 minutes later. I was seated and began looking over the menu. Server came by in a few minutes but never introduced himself. I ordered Strawberry Lemondrop Martini, garlic fries, side Caesar salad Smokehouse Chicken sandwich and Pineapple Pomegranate fizz. I had asked my server for his opinion on items I was interested in and he was honest about food choices which as a 1st time patron, I appreciated. Shortly after ordering, my cocktail was brought to the table. The drink was so full that the stem and base of the glass were wet from overflow and spillage; only after I asked the server was a cocktail napkin provided. I need to add that there was also no napkin placed under my sweating regular drink glass. The appetizer and main meal were not brought by my server but someone else from my recollection. It was not necessarily busy, but someone else brought my main meal. Just kind of dropped it off. I was not impressed by the worn out wooden trays the food was served directly on, Gross! No one checked on me to see if I needed anything throughout my meal, though my server seemed to be making rounds at his other tables. But he didn't check on me until I was finished and ready for the check. Garlic fries were tasty enough but I would rather they had been served on an actual plate not a wooden tray that obviously had seen better days. The fries with my sandwich, again served on a worn out wooden tray, were somewhat of an afterthought; several small hard overcooked pieces. Chicken smokehouse sandwich was tasty and well seasoned. Portion size was good, I had to cut it in half to eat was so large. I had no room for dessert though they sounded (albeit mass manufactured) delicious. Overall, this is a nice place with decent food but I was not super impressed. Didn't get dessert as I said. As food was filling there was no room and I was not interested in taking any home. I will most likely visit again, for the opportunity for the service to impress and to try some of their other entrées, thiugh i will ask for actual plates in lieu of wooden serving trays.

Food, service was great. It was so cold in there it was warmer outside. I had to hurry to eat to get warmed up again. Food was a little pricey but what I got was good. Parking is terrible not a lot of spots available fills up fast.

Our go-to place in downtown Hershey. Lots of menu choices. Great salads and sandwiches as well as entrée. Reservations suggested.

The food is very good and comes out quickly! Our server was very nice and did a great job. We came to your restaurant 2 years ago and really liked it so when we were in the area yesterday we stopped again and I'm still very impressed! Thanks for the good service.

Would get 5 stars except they took the BEST drink off their menu! Bring back the peanut butter whiskey milkshake martini plz!!!!!!! This drink literally MADE this place! But still love the brussels among other things!
