Drove down to Hershey mid-afternoon on the last nice (sunny) day for a while.
I’d gotten what looked like a good dinner recommendation in my local food group on Facebook & called in the rez before we left, despite it being a Monday night & just the two of us.
Upon arriving in our hotel room we discovered the toilet had not been cleaned 
, so we moved rooms & also got a coupon for a free drink each, which we used for pre-dinner drinks (G&T for him, dry AF Hendricks martini for me) after late afternoon sunshine beers on the Hershey campus at a very cute little Inn.
The restaurant itself is located in the basement of a Howard Johnson. It smelled a bit musky — as basements tend to, and was almost empty, save for one other table.
The Bluecoat martini I ordered was very good,
but we were a little hesitant about the food menu, mostly bc the restaurant’s atmosphere, layout, staff & clientele didn’t exactly scream ‘fancy small plates done well.’
And so, for fear of wasting our money on lamb lollipop chops or pistachio-dusted scallops, we took what we thought was the safer route: a very generous order of jumbo lump crab ‘martini with drawn butter,
fried pickles with ranch dip,
and “hot” buffalo wings.
The pickles were excellent, the wings just ok. They were battered, which the menu didn’t mention, and which I don’t care for.
We’ll never know if they excel at the fancier stuff….. unless we end up having to stay another night. Hopefully not, though.
