   We love Houlihan's and went there to celebrate a birthday. Luckily we had reservations because they were slammed with theatergoers and Hershey Park visitors. We were seated within 5 minutes. Our server was as attentive as she could be, but she seemed to be the only server in our area and was not as present as we were used to. My husband ordered two appetizers instead of a meal but asked that they be brought out with everyone else's entrees. The one was brought out immediately and although he went ahead and ate some of it he really wanted to enjoy them while the rest of us ate. He second did come out with our meals. Next time I'll check to see what's going on in the area before we visit.

   Despite their best efforts, cooking steak to order is not one of their expertise sometimes it comes out way overdone other times rare, I believe in the future I’ll stick with chicken dishes. Service was good and everything else tasted good.

   When we walked in, smelled pretty good and had high hopes. Told the hostess we had a reservation. When I made the reservation, I put for my friend’s birthday. I wasn’t expecting anything out of it but thought the server would be aware. Server doesn’t greet us with his name. Just says hi and asks what we want to drink. My friend orders alcohol and we’re both in our early 20s so I expected the server would notice today was his birthday from his ID. Nope. Just handed it back after a glance (did he really verify his age?). Anyways, the menu was large and the prices were high as expected. Then when the server comes back, I order an appetizer called “shrooms.” They were really good and the server gave us 3 rather than 7 because I thought 7 would fill us up too much before our entrees. Then, he tries to take our orders for our entrees with no notepad in site (so from memory). I ordered a stuffed chicken breast while my friend ordered a fillet mignon. My friend ordered his sides to his entrees but I wasn’t aware mine came with any nor was I asked by the server. The server decided to order my sides FOR me when I saw my entree and put the wrong sides to my friend’s dish. Then, the server continued filling up our waters but seemed annoyed the whole time having to do his job. Finally when we ordered dessert - no candle, no happy birthday, just threw down the vanilla bean cheesecake and placed the receipt on the table. The dessert was really good, but why ask what the reservation is for if they’re not going to read/look at it. Overall, it felt like we were being pushed out of the restaurant and the food had such large plates for such a small amount of food. Tasted good but way too over priced for something you can find cheaper at a different restaurant. I won’t be back again.
