Our waitress was great. The food hit the spot. We got the deviled eggs because it said they had caviar but when they came out only one did. That was disappointing. The clams casino were okay but we’ve had better. All entrees delivered. My dad had some pre fixe menu and his dessert was a Moravian cake apple crumb something. That dessert needs to be full time. 10/10 wish I could have gotten one!

Haven’t been here since our friend’s wedding 15yrs ago. Had lunch outside with my long time friend and we both enjoyed it!! We were seated immediately even though we were early for our reservation. Our waitress was fabulous! On point with timing everything from our drinks to our meal. Menu was short and simple. Had a nice selection for different diets. Prices were fabulous! Our appetizer to entree was so refreshing and delicious!!! Kudos to the chef.

Under mismanagement?
Let me preface this by saying that we’ve eaten at the hotel Bethlehem before and even hosted a party there. The food was always good and the service reasonable, although not always stellar.
Today opened a new chapter. We brought a couple of friends visiting from Italy that we hoped to impress with our landmark hotel.
Perhaps it was a mistake to go on a Saturday or while there were some events being held. It was normally convenient to park in the back deck, but today in the rain, we were directed to park under the bridge and take a shuttle up. It would’ve been nice to know This in advance, we could have come on a different day. But of course, when you’re making reservations there is no such information.
That being said, we would she did promptly. After proving the menu we ordered and waited, and waited, and waited. have we been kept informed or had we known to expect a delay It would have been more appropriate. Instead my wife finally flagged down the waitress and asked about the food. She should’ve been proactive in addressing it.
My wife had the gnocchi. Although the gnocchi were not impressive, what really made the dish dismal was the amount of oil that it was sitting in. You can see in the close-up of the picture. Well the Hallmark of good gnocchi may be they’re fluffiness and texture, firm greasy gnocchi really doesn’t cut it.
I had the cheese steak. It was rather standard with rather their soft bread. People hailing from Philadelphia would laugh. I asked for hot peppers and what I gotten is sliced fresh jalapeños on the side. I would have expected chopped cherry peppers, pickled jalapeños, even banana peppers. You know my time between New Jersey and Philadelphia, sliced fresh jalapeños, whenever added to a cheesesteak. Get with the program. I suggest sending the chefs on a teaching trip to Philly.
The last entrée was the chicken tacos. Small and bland and mostly a plate of french fries. It wasn’t quite a Taco Bell quality but it certainly wasn’t hotel Bethlem quality. The coleslaw was inedible. I tried some and I normally love good coleslaw, but this is mostly cabbage vinegar and some pepper.
I’ll give it a year or two before I go back and if it’s still the same, I will write it off.

We enjoyed our dinner very much.
The NY Strip Steak and the Lamb Chops were awesome, and i probably had one of the best Old Fashioned cocktails ever!

Stopped in for a late lunch after going to the Christmas market in Bethlehem. It was our first time in the hotel which was gorgeous and decorated beautifully for the holidays. Lunch was delish! We were fortunate to have the sweet potato soup before they ran out. Absolutely delicious! Then, a burger and club sandwich which we enjoyed. The service was great!

I have been at the Tap Room previously and the visit was very welcoming. Today, January 13, 2026 I took my friend and granddaughter from Florida to have the same experience. I told the greeter that we were going to sit at the bar. We sat ourselves and waited to be served. We were not greeted after we sat down. There were many servers at the tables but no bartender. We sat for 20+ minutes until we got the attention of a server. We were told there is no bartender to wait on us and they the servers are too busy to get us a drink. They got the greeter to come over. He told us that he’s not a bartender. He was able to pour us wine and a beer but didn’t know how to make the chocolate peanut butter martini. I will never patronize Hotel Bethlehem again and if I could have given them (-100) stars I would have.

The greatest asset of the Tap Room at the Hotel Bethlehem is its wonderful atmosphere. The well appointed lobby, and elegant dining area, with vintage bar and photos on the walls of all the famous personalities who have visited there, will give your eyes lots to enjoy while you eat. The food is good and the servers are very attentive. But don’t look for any bargains here. You will pay top dollar for everything, as if you were at a luxurious vacation destination. Still, it’s worth experiencing at least once, even if you don’t normally do this kind of thing.

The only reason I’m giving this 2 stars is because our server, Liz was extremely polite and because the hostess was also very friendly.
Myself, my daughter, my aunt & uncle, all decided we would do brunch here for my husbands birthday. We will not return. Three of us got cokes and all three were flat. Three of us got the New England Clam chowder – all three had no clams, the broth was so watery instead of creamy and there were huge chunks of carrot and celery. It was such a disappointment. My husband and I split the pork belly app which, the photo speaks for itself.
Then came the entrees, which took over an hour to come out. I got the gnocchi, which was actually pretty good. My daughter got the chicken a la vodka with no arugula. When it came out, it had arugula all over it. My husband got a cheesesteak with mushrooms, that came without the mushrooms. So, then they brought out a side of mushrooms, when they took it back to be packed to go, the mushrooms were again never packed. My aunt got the duck pot pie that came with a nice duck bone in it.
Our server was very accommodating but, a lot to go wrong for over an hour wait of food. We know not to return.

If you don’t feel like leaving the hotel, it not horrible. The food choices at all pretty off the normal trail if you are looking for bar food. The drink selections seem up to par although the bartender had syrup running down the outside of my whisky sour and the server did not care. The staff was friendly but only half engaged. The food was not great. The cheese platter was meh and the rock hard cheese shattered the bread the gave us. The drinks tasted good and so did the lobster Mac and Cheese. We will venture out elsewhere next time.

Very nicely done for Hotel Bethlehem where since COVID has transformed the outside for dining. The service was very good and the food was good too. We ordered burgers, chicken ceasar salad and a lobster roll. There was even live entertainment music every Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Overall very nice atmosphere with good food and don’t forget to visit the ice cream shop across the street for desserts!
