    I can't think of a more beautiful setting in the Harrisburg area. I have not returned to the Circular room for years and was expecting more. While the food was ok, I was disappointed with limited selections, especially at the high cost. The beef, without a heat lamp was warm, but trying several pieces, they all had a great amount of gristle, this didn't appear to be prime beef. I expected the presence of other meats such as ham, pork, chicken, perhaps some a variety of pastas. The salads, desserts, breads, cheese, seafood were all excellent. Service was excellent.

    Excellent experience! I had missed this more formal, upscale dining when the Circular had gone with a diverse menu and smaller plates and too casual atmosphere--it is SO GOOD to have the old feel and upscale food offerings back! My only suggestion is that you add some non-alcohol wine offerings to the menu.
