    The rose champagne awaiting the third course.
    Mark G.

    Here for a champagne wine pairing. We come here often and this is the most recent tasting. We have not done a champagne tasting before this. A pic of the menu is attached. Service was very good. Our sommelier was Gail. We have attended tastings with her before. It started 30 minutes late which is always an annoying issue with tastings as everyone else has to await the tardy arrivals. We think the tasting should begin around the scheduled time and the late comers can catch up. The food was very good. We started with cheese puffs and olive tapenade. The pacing between the courses was a bit off, notably between the second and third courses. It was a larger group than we are used to for a tasting 28. The wines were quite delicious and each was explained in detail. We learned a lot. The reserve champagne with the third course was particularly good. $100-135/bottle we were informed. The meal was very nice but at 2.5 hours too long in our view. We will return for additional pairings/tastings when offered. Mark & Nancy

    We've been to this restaurant twice. The first time was for dinner and we had an amazing beef bourguignon, a great salad, and amazing desserts (chocolate mousse and an apple tart). We decided to return for happy hour at the bar and we are glad we did. The vibe reminded us of a brasserie in Paris. The staff was so down to earth, friendly and efficient. The $2 oysters were a selection of 3 types they offered and the pate was out of this world. The fries with honey and cheese were the only blah. We also tried the burger with onions and mushrooms and it was delicious. We will definitely be visiting La Grange as part of our regular rotation. Si magnifique!

    What a great atmosphere and loaded with natural light. Bartenders were fantastic and attentive even when across the bar. It only took a head knod to get another beer. I could smell the fresh expressed lemon in the la granfe martini before I even got it. Possibly one of the best martinis I have ever had. Getting the 1664 Blanc on draft is also fantastic! Oysters were great and bread was fresh. I will definitely be back!

    The ambiance is beautiful - super bright and plenty of seating. Service was great and quick too. I was happy with my croque monsieur and the french onion soup. The food was good and I would come back if I was in the area again. The cocktail (la bulle) was probably my favorite, tasted exactly like bubblegum!

    Great Onion Soup!

    Outstanding. If you haven't tried this place you should. No need to head to Philly when this is around the corner.

    13$ dirty martini. 10$ but extra 3$ for olive juice

    Dined last night for dinner. With tip, 222$ for one cocktail, 2 beers, oysters, foie gras, shrimp cocktail, duck entree and lamb shank entree. Way overpriced priced in my opinion. Foie gras was too salty, entrees were not seasoned enough. I would return but would sit at the bar for happy hour and get appetizers. It's a beautiful restaurant but it didn't blow me away.

    This restaurant is housed in a beautiful building. The food is delicious and the staff is attentive and professional. We will return.

    The escargot was my favorite. Salmon tartar was pretty good!
    Erica M.

    The escargot was my favorite! Dipped bread in the leftover garlic sauce, super yummy. The salmon tartar was good, but could use a touch more seasoning. I'd skip the eggs mimosa, it was underwhelming. Overall the ambience here is always great!

    We were excited to try something new in Yardley so we ventured to La Grange to sit at the bar and try some appetizers. The service was slow... Took about 20 minutes to get our drinks and the bartender had absolutely no sense of urgency. We ordered the french onion soup, the mushroom vol au vent and the fois grois. All were ok. The mushrooms were great but it needed a bit of acidity to lighten it up and it was luke warm. The onion soup was good also but could have also Bennett's brightened up with some acidity and some pepper and maybe a little fresh herbs? The fois grois was good, husband liked it. We then decided to try the escargot because why not? it was ok, the garlic was a bit raw and overpowered the snail. I dunno, it was fair to good but has the potential to be really good, they just need to fine tune a few things. The atmosphere was great, I ran into a few friends and the wine was a good value. I will go back with high hopes. The bread and butter were delicious !

    Once they hit their stride I think LaGrange is going to be a wonderful addition to the restaurant scene in Bucks County. The service was a little slow ( we ate a late lunch and it wasn't particularly crowded). The bread service was generous and tasty. The flavor of the food we ordered as mains to share -- croque monsieur and a goat cheese asparagus tart --was spot on but our food was cold. Unfortunately, the escargot was sandy and rubbery and not served with crostini to sop up the sauce ( our bread service did not arrive with the delivery of this course). We ordered a bottle of trefethen Chardonnay (54$) which was a great pairing with our food. It's a crisp, light Chardonnay that cut through the richness of our dishes. 54$ is probably a bit steep for a wine that can be found at the local wine store on clearance for 15$. All in all a mixed bag. We will try again in a couple of months with the hopes that the hiccups mentioned above will have been addressed.

    Loved my recent lunch at La Grange. The restaurant is very beautiful as others have noted. The service staff is well trained and were kind, accommodating, and attentive in a very positive and not at all laborious fashion. The restaurant has almost two sections which took me a moment to digest, pun intended, but I like the feel that you can get in the more open, big-windowed outdoorsy section as well as the old-school bistro type of bar on the other side as well. The food is excellent. I loved my salad and I'm a bit of a salad connoisseur! Almost the best part of course was the bread. So key. I enjoyed the butter that they served with it even like the small details such as my coffee being served with a petite Madeline on the side; it was very Proustian. I enjoyed everything very much and excited to explore the menu.

It's also BYOB, which makes it even better -- bring your favorite bottle and make a whole night out of it. The vibe is warm, intimate, and perfect for date night, but they also have a gorgeous outdoor space that can host up to 100 people, making it such a hidden gem for larger parties and celebrations. They opened in September 2019 -- just six months before the pandemic -- which makes what they've built even more impressive. It's truly family-driven. The husband, Manuel (from Spain), is the head chef, and you can absolutely taste the care and authenticity in every dish. Cindy, who is from Panama, brings so much heart to the restaurant as well. We started with Prince Edward Island oysters and the crab salad, which had crispy bacon pieces for a great touch of texture and the crab was incredibly fresh -- such a perfect balance of flavors and crunch. For entrées, the beef bourguignon was rich, comforting, and everything you'd hope for from a classic French dish. The Dover sole felt elegant and perfectly executed. We ended with the chocolate mousse, which was light, decadent, and the perfect sweet finish. And I have to mention our server -- Delroy was fabulous. Attentive, personable, and so knowledgeable. He truly elevated the entire experience. Between the ambiance, the hospitality, and the beautifully prepared food, La Provence is absolutely somewhere I'll be coming back to for an elevated night out.

It had been awhile since we dined there last. The problem, service. We arrived a bit early, but were sat right away. The server, Delroy had 5 tables, and we watched as he went back and forth to each table, being jovial and asking each table how was everything. He then came towards our table, and took a swift turn to give more water to the table next to us. He could have at least acknowledged us during his many table visits to every other table, but chose not to. After about 10-15 minutes of waiting he finally decided to greet us. My wife and I do not drink alcohol and the look of disgust on his face when he was removing the wine glasses from our table was quite obvious. At that point he figured a low check amount without selling a bottle of wine, so the effort to give a great dining experience went to zero immediately. He told us the specials and disappeared for another 15 mins. He came back to take our order, and that was the last time he visited our table! We never saw him again. The non alcoholic drinks were delivered by the back waiter, and may I say she was incredibly attentive to us. We were delighted by the appetizer, shrimp and crabmeat in a garlic sauce. Then the entrees came out. We actually enjoyed the appetizer so much, had Delroy decided to visit our table again, or bother to check how everything came out, we would have ordered another one. I wanted another drink, but was unable to get one because he was making multiple table visits to all the other tables, telling stories about his wine experiences, but again, never returned to our table, not even once! We really wanted to order the crème brûlée for dessert as it was my wife's favorite and we were celebrating her birthday, but he refused to come to our table. At this point, we just wanted to pay the check and leave, go somewhere to get dessert and celebrate her birthday. We finished our meal, and I actually had to call out to him as he passed our table to get his attention for the check, he glanced over and said, "one minute" and kept walking. Then he starting walking our way and just passed our table again, and went to water the table next to us for the fourth time, before turning around, staring at me, without a word, as I asked for the check. He said, "no dessert"? I said no, just the check. He sent the back waiter with the check, then picked it up from the table, after processing it, dropped it on our table without a word, and walked away. Against my better judgement, I still left him a 20% gratuity. We left and went elsewhere to celebrate.

My husband, who has been to Paris and is very particular about his escargot, said it was the closest he has ever had to the real thing. That alone says a lot. We started with the mushroom toast, which was hands down the best toast we have ever had, along with deviled eggs topped with salmon roe that added the perfect burst of flavor. Every bite felt thoughtful and elevated. For our mains, we ordered the coq au vin and duck frites, and both were outstanding. The sauces were rich and balanced, and the meats were cooked perfectly. Dessert sealed the deal with crème brûlée and pot de crème. The crème brûlée, especially, was a masterpiece. Beyond the food, the restaurant itself is small and charming with a cozy, intimate feel.

We made our reservation the night before and were off. Entering, you immediately notice only about half a dozen tables in the same room the food is prepared. It's a nice setting that is definitely unique. We started with a tomato bisque. It was creamy, smooth, and a great hot soup to start off a chilly winter evening. My main course was the Duck Frites. A generous helping of fries, with a smaller helping of duck strips. The amount of duck was a little disappointing, but it had a good flavor and a touch chewy. It came with an unusual banyuls aioli sauce on the side, that I quite liked. We finished the evening with a crepe cake that was quite large. I would definitely recommend splitting it, but I found it to be lovely sweet way to end the evening. The crepe was probably about ten layers and soft enough to cut through with a spoon. It came served with a raspberry coulis and powdered sugar. The ends were fired to conclude the dish with a light crunch. All and all, I enjoyed my meal at the Little Hen. If you're in the area, it's a nice place to have an upscale meal or a romantic evening in a small town not all too far outside of Philadelphia.

But one thing is certain: Despite…read morebeing highly recommended via a variety of sources, our recent visit to Agua Bistro proved to be something of a disappointment. Our dissatisfaction pertained neither to the restaurant's appealingly cozy ambiance nor to its spot-on personable service. Rather, it was related solely to the preparation and presentation of a portion of the cuisine; which, despite their website's pontification - "Here you will find Chef's handcrafted à la carte menu inspired by a medley of Mediterranean flavors" - fell significantly short of expectations. But let's begin on a positive note... The Fried Artichokes, which my dining partner and I shared as an appetizer, as did the other couple with whom we dined, received nothing but raves. Kissed by a balsamic glaze, caressed by Panko breadcrumbs, and pillowed on mixed greens splashed with lemon dressing, it was indeed an auspicious beginning. Desserts were also quite good... and our little group managed to sample several noteworthy possibilities. My dining partner, for example, enjoyed the Limoncello Cake while I opted for the Apple Tart with French vanilla ice cream. But by far the most interesting dessert of the evening was the Peach Melba, which was shared by the other couple. Actually, "interesting" is something of a misnomer, as the history of this famous confection is as intriguing as its checklist of ingredients is delicious. Peach Melba is a dessert of peaches, raspberry sauce, and vanilla ice cream (Agua's version also adds whipped cream). It was invented in 1892-93 by French chef Auguste Escoffier at London's Savoy Hotel to honor Australian soprano Nellie Melba. In 1892, or so the story goes, Ms. Melba was performing Wagner's opera Lohengrin at Covent Garden. At a dinner party in her honor, Escoffier presented her with a dessert of fresh peaches served over vanilla ice cream in a silver dish perched atop an ice sculpture of a swan (which is featured in the opera). Originally Escoffier called the dish Pêche au Cygne (Peach with a Swan). Several years later, however, he changed the recipe slightly by adding a topping of sweetened raspberry purée and renamed the dish Pêche Melba. Tasty fried artichokes and tempting desserts notwithstanding, it was the entrées that proved to be the kitchen's undoing... And topping the list of eminently forgettable items was my Pan Seared Atlantic Swordfish, which was overly breaded, unattractively hefty of countenance, exhibited a decidedly mushy texture, and tasted offputtingly "fishy" in spots. Ill-chosen accompaniments such as gloppy white beans, olive tapenade, and bland, under-seasoned, undercooked vegetables did absolutely nothing - either gastronomically or asthetically - to remediate this sorry state of affairs. Definitely not the kitchen's finest hour. While other entrées were not as distasteful as my swordfish, they were still nothing to write home about. My dining partner, for example, wasn't exactly thrilled with her Chicken Parmigiana. Not that it was beneath contempt... but she certainly had seen and tasted better in numerous other establishments. What was particularly telling to me was that the kitchen appeared to be rather careless with its entrée presentations. The food photos I observed on the restaurant's website were strikingly beautiful. Up close and personal, however - in the flesh, so to speak - their appearance clearly lacked a certain savoir faire. And for an establishment that seemed to posture itself as significantly above the ranks of plebeian cookery, this was an unappetizing paradox indeed. The major offender in this regard was undoubtedly the Wild Mushroom Ravioli swimming in a madeira cream sauce. Which, while a feast for the palate - at least according to the other gentleman in our party - was also famine for the eye, bearing, in my opinion, uncanny resemblance to the regurgitation of an endangered species. I don't mean to imply that each and every item placed before a diner needs to be a work of art... On the other hand, it should possess sufficient visual appeal to contribute to rather than detract from the enjoyment of an evening at table. In this instance, with just the slightest bit of effort, I think the kitchen could have made this particular presentation infinitely more pleasurable to the eye. An absolutely charming little BYOB, there is no question that Agua Bistro has all the makings of a first-rate eatery. That being said, however... for idealistic promise to become gastronomic reality, it appears that there must be a significant improvement in both the quality and the character of their entrées.

    Went back last night! Enjoyed the oysters, burrata, lamb chops, scallops! So good and continues to…read moreimpress.
