    The Boathouse in Lambertville is a fun craft cocktail spot! The star of the show is the nautical…read moredecor featuring a treasure trove of paintings, photographs, prints, replica ships, books, and exotica. Borrowing a move from Tiki bars, the Boathouse's nooks contain risque artwork! We were greeted by a friendly lady in a tiki robe, who gave us the option to sit outdoors, indoors (ground level with live music), or upstairs where the bulk of the artwork resides. We opted for upstairs. The space felt like a classy naval officer's club. The cocktail menu contained mostly classics and riffs on classics. I opted for the Smoked Honey Negroni with Barr Hill gin, and a Boulevardier. Both were very good. The Boulevardier - interestingly, was served neat in a brandy snifter glass. Our group also tried the French 75 and Last Word (Mezcal style). Cocktails were $16-$17, well-constructed, and sturdy. Service was friendly and unrushed - the perfect format for a relaxing evening. My one constructive suggestion is to replace the creaky wooden chairs upstairs and add more couches or cushioned chairs.

    For this five star review, I want to slightly preface that perhaps a small portion of why my wife…read moreand I had such a splendid experience at The Boat House was because of our timing, but I'll come back to that shortly because regardless of when we were there, I did love so much about this place. Recommended by almost any local you ask, The Boat House sits in the quieter Lambertville side of the bridge that connect this Jersey town to the slightly more bustling New Hope, PA. Down an Edison-lighted alleyway you'll find this small house for boats and ya know, it probably was a house (not sure about for boats) because it's pretty dang small. The night we were there I noticed there's some outdoor tables available, but really the interior downstairs area only fits a handful of folks. The upstairs can hold a bit more and that is where our timing lies. Somehow, we must have been early/lucky enough to hit The Boat House on a Friday evening when everyone was still out to dinner because the very friendly host sat us upstairs where we had the entire place to ourselves for almost our entire time there. Having the space added such an extra vibe to everything, especially because those creaky steps lead up to what really gives The Boat House its name as the ceiling is covered in maritime memorabilia. The walls, book shelves, and eclectic array of tables and chairs also adds to this. People or not, it is a true unique spot. But what really makes the place so great (besides the looks and the friendly staff who never stopped checking in on us) are the drinks. To start, my wife wasn't feeling alcohol and got an Aper-No Spritz which did the trick, though for myself, I dove into the intriguing list of specialty drinks that makes this place worth visiting. Round one was the Rower's Reserve which lists as a Boat House original and is gin-based with Amaro Nonino, sage, and blackberries to create some fantastic flavors. Round two I had to go with a personal favorite (with a twist) in the smoked honey Negroni which tasted exactly as it sounded. There were a bunch of other libations that also sounded intriguing, but that'll have to be for a future visit. Overall, there's a reason people from the area always suggest The Boat House. It's a true old fashioned maritime cocktail bar that gives you all the feels you'd want from a place like this. Perhaps this review is a little tainted in timing, but hey, maybe that'll give you a little motivation to get here on the earlier side and checkout the upstairs area for yourself. No matter if there's people up there or not, it's a good time here. Cheers!

    We had such a wonderful experience at Odette's in New Hope celebrating my dad's 81st birthday. From…read morethe moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed. I had mentioned to the host that my dad has dementia, and she was incredibly kind, caring, and accommodating. Our waiter, Anthony, was just as wonderful--professional, attentive, patient, and so understanding throughout our dinner. That meant more to us than he probably realized. And the food was excellent! I had the lobster rolls, which were delicious. My dad had the filet mignon, and my husband had a steak as well, and they both loved their meals and how perfectly the steaks were cooked. The calamari was very good, and that carrot cake was AMAZING. When you're caring for someone with dementia, being treated with patience and kindness can make an outing so much easier and more enjoyable. We truly appreciated how comfortable and welcome everyone made my dad--and all of us--feel on his birthday. Thank you to Anthony, the host, and the entire team at Odette's for helping make my dad's 81st birthday dinner such a special one. We will definitely be back.

    The restaurant is lovely, and beautifully decorated. We had a party of 13 with a reservation, and…read morein my opinion we were smooshed in to a space that would seat ten comfortably. It was very crowded for a dinner with a client. We were 50/50 client and my company, space would have been welcomed. The appetizers were good: calamari, oysters, ahi tacos. I had a filet for dinner, and while a nice cut steak, it was more medium than medium rare. It was still delicious, don't get me wrong! The strawberry shortcake trifle was outstanding. Nice selection of wine and bourbons, plus cocktails for those who partake. The only issue aside from the lack of space was with the service, honestly. It felt almost, combative. Our server was not overly kind, or forthcoming with recommendations. I know a business group of 13 can be a lot, but the job is to smile and handle it. I was relieved they sent over someone to help prebus and fill water, because it was getting behind. Overall, I would return again, maybe with a smaller group, maybe insisting on the larger space?

Positives: gazpacho was so fresh, Fritos app was good. Taku taku was delicious. However this is the third time I've gone and something is pretty off - previously just some very fishy ceviche (but also have had great ceviche there too! my sister loves it every time). The mole had an overwhelming clove taste added, the nachos were just okay, and unfortunately the guacalote was inedible to us and $17. I am not sure if they usually use fresh corn, and ran out, but the corn was clearly from a can with an overwhelmingly canned taste and the guac was very tart/ sour. When asked, the servers were very nice, and assured us it was fresh corn. Being from Jersey access to some of the best corn, I can whole heartedly say this was not the case for our dish. This is a great menu option! and I hope they take the feedback to ensure it is fresh every time, or be transparent if they are out of corn/what they are using. I know many people do not care at all, and it's become typical for restaurants to used canned corn. This dish was also an appetizer and came out very late, I wish they had just removed it from our bill after the long wait/ all 3 of us agreeing the flavor was very off. Huge contrast from the soup special which tasted super fresh and we could definitely taste the difference in quality! Again, servers were very pleasant and absolutely doing their best.

The food was not as authentic or flavorful as I would have liked but the staff were attentive and friendly. Given the plentiful options in the area.
