    Heavy handed seasoning, tight seating led to loud noise level despite reservations unable to accommodate seating request. Been here before- go for outdoor experience, avoid the inside- very friendly staff

    Thea is my favorite local restaurant. The owner and staff are always friendly & super accommodating. Food is locally sourced & always delicious. Also - If you have to eat gluten-free, it’s the best option around!

    Three of us much enjoyed our lunch at Thea. Service was superb and food was very tasty. Our server was very attentive even after we paid our check and hung out to talk more! The only thing that could have been better would have been if gas fireplace was turned on. It was a cold winter day!

    The crab cakes are a favorite….lots of crab meat, no fillers, and perfectly spiced. On previous lunch and dinner visits, we have enjoyed other beef, fish, and vegetarian dishes. The menu offers a nice variety and along with the specials, you makes our visits a much anticipated culinary delight.. We love the BYOB policy that allows us to bring our wine club wines. Service is among the best in the business and the restaurant itself is as lovely as the dishes Chef Annmarie prepares.

    The experience was good but appetizers were pretty small. Our entrees were very good but also on the small side for the price. The desserts were great. The show stopper was our outstanding server. She was amazing and made the experience very enjoyable.

    Dinner was delicious! Grilled Brussel sprouts to start. They were shaved and baked to perfection with a little bit of onion, some goat cheese (subtle) and a marvelous marinade pre-baking/broiling that had depth; some balsamic not overpowering, a little citrus and something to very subtly sweeten them - the lightest, most refreshing rendition of grilled brussels we have ever had! Lady had the shrimp and scallop pappardelle noodles. Full of the protein, perfect al dente noodles, peas (which she loves) and some tiny asparagus tips in a creamy but not thick sauce. Lots of real shaved parmesan (Caeser salad like shaves). I had the meatloaf. Yes, meatloaf. What sold was that its side was a Leek and Gruyere cheese baked bread pudding. Just sounded interesting and it was delicious, as was the meatloaf. Latter not your usual bread-load size slice but rather low-height, somewhat flat loaf then sliced. Slices were sort of biscotti shaped. Tender and moist with green herbs in the mix; very little bread or bread crumb. Really quite nice. Super-filling with the bread pudding so order starters accordingly. Unfortunately, we live in Philly and Thea is in Mechanicsburg. However, we are in Hershey for a family convocation to celebrate a big birthday and other birthdays in the month so we could try Thea. The owner-Chef visits every table and converses - not just a cameo; for the last seatings obviously. The walls could use some sound panels. It is loud but not annoyingly so if you, like us, do enjoy a place with a buzz somethimes. We will go again if out this way! If you live nearby do not miss it! Thank you Thea! Wonderful birthday date-night dinner! G
