My family and I had an amazing meal here for Christmas Eve and I can't believe I'm just posting about it now. It's right along the water and beautiful inside, plus they have tons of food options and perfect sizes for sharing I'm usually not a seafood girl, but the octopus was a 11/10! I highly recommend trying it when you come. The mussels were a close second! read more

We shared an early birthday dinner for our dear friend Mark at Martine's River House. Our server was Tanya and she was fabulous!!! The food is wonderful, but Tanya made the experience exceptional!. Definitely check it out. Thom Freeman-Stuart bentleybubbles@gmail.com read more

The view and food were great! My friend and I enjoyed a lunch on the back patio overlooking the river. We shared a few apps and then split the burger and turkey sando. Both were very tasty! We were not very pleased with the service unfortunately and felt we were ignored and at one point the server came over and said she "forgot" about our order. We ended up baking in the sun for 2 hours and while we enjoyed each others company, we had to hunt down our server to ask for the check. We were never offered the dessert menu and ended up leaving to a nearby ice cream shop. Would return but not for the service. read more

Another great lunch (table of 4) at @Martines. Inside the glass enclosed porch, we had a great view of the partially frozen #DelawareRiver . The waitress was professional and attentive.

Absolutely warm reception upon entry! Karen was our wonderful server. We ordered magnificent berry mock tails . So delicious and fresh and colorful. Two fresh salads . So flavorful and delicious. I am crazy about the dressing. My BFF ordered the seabass and I ordered the grilled salmon . Our food was very delicious and colorful and so wonderful. Their restaurant is located right along the Delaware river overlooking Lambertville, New Jersey. And that charming Green Bridge. I had a wonderful time and I look forward to coming back!! read more

Martine's is a New Hope staple. While dinner service doesn't start until 5pm, you can grab a drink and snacks at the bar while you wait. Highly recommend making a reservation because the restaurant isn't super big and is a popular place (also gets quite loud). The menu isn't huge but all the selections are great. For starters, we got the pumpkin chorizo soup which was perfect for fall and had a nice little kick from the chorizo. For mains, we got the Thai curry mussels (large portion and great flavor), fried green tomatoes (3 topped with shrimp and bacon, so a sizable portion), wild boar ribs (covered in onions and peppers), and the steak frites (large portion of steak and perfectly fried fries). We ended the meal with the mousse- large scoop with whipped cream. The mousse was a pretty thick consistency, just a comment for those who are looking for something that is lighter and fluffier. It was a solid meal, nothing special but a nice dinner with friends. read more

Meh, Meh, and more Meh! We stopped in recently to grab an app and a drink, but kinda wish we hadn't. Upon entering the bartender was kind of b*tch and very unwelcoming. We told her we were just going to have an app and a drink and we wanted to be seated outside. Tons of attitude! So we walked outside with a waiter and found a spot to be seated by the railing. The outside sitting area by the river is why this place gets one star. It's a nice view of the river and Lambertville. We ordered: - Deviled eggs(Three half eggs with paprika and a couple capers for $6 ummm where is the other half of the second egg? Saving money?) Hilarious!!! - Hand cut fries(Tasted like McDonald's fries to be honest but not as good and basically a medium for $8) lol - I got an IPA that was on tap but I have no clue what it was because my waiter didn't tell me because he had the personality of 14 whose parents didn't give him enough love and he moved to New Hope in hope of a better life My gf didn't order a drink because she was put off by the whole vibe of this place. Blah! There isn't much to say about this place except, NO! I won't be back for any reason! The end! read more

We arrived here when it opened at 1130 on the Labor Day holiday, despite not having a reservation we were lucky enough to get an outside table by the railing. It was a gorgeous day with beautiful views of the river. Food was awesome! We started with Hummus, and the mussels. The mussels were in a Thai curry broth which I could have eaten as soup alone it was so good! It had just amount of heat, seasoned perfectly! The hummus served with pita bread and was satisfying. We each had a lobster roll. It came in a toasted bun, the salad had crunchy onion and celery and radish garnish, we enjoyed it immensely. The house made chips were some of the best we ever had. Our server Karen was very nice, overall it was a beautiful day, and delicious meal. We will definitely return. read more

You can't beat dining outside along river on an absolutely beautiful fall evening. We both enjoyed the wild boar ribs, did not taste gamey at all. The cod and steak were good. Prices are reasonable. An oasis amidst the craziness in town! read more

Had a rehearsal dinner here and the food was wonderful. Wild boar ribs and the burrata was a hit for starters and the top picks for the entrees were filet mignon and salmon. The chocolate mousse seemed to be the favorite for dessert. A shout out to Erica who accomodated all the allergy issues of the group and we were so glad to see gluten free items on the menu. The service was wonderful considering they had a full house and our party took up most of the river view room. My husband and I also had lunch the day before. The chicken cranberry salad sandwich was hugh and we both took half of it home. Highly recommend having a meal here. Thanks again Erica. read more

Martines, such a nice spot in the beautiful town of New Hope. The deck outback sits right on the Delaware River with a great view of Lambertville and the ducks. We started our meal with the Mussels in a coconut milk Thai sauce. They were fabulous. Entrée was a delicious crab cake sandwich. Our server, Lex, was very attentive and helped us navigate the menu with great suggestions. Highly recommended! read more

Martine's RiverHouse Restaurant - Delaware River view from our table on the deck. - New American Near Me - New Hope, Pennsylvania

We picked this restaurant bc it's on the river with a beautiful view. The menus looked good, not really somewhere to bring babies. No changing table and there is a sign that says no strollers, although they allowed us to fold it up and put it in a corner. The waitress Tonya was an outstanding women. We really liked her. The food was delicious, I was sad because they had sold out of the short ribs which I wanted badly. But me and my bro has the French chicken. My sisternlaw had the filet. Only thing that had no flavor was the Mac and cheese unfortunately but otherwise even the drinks were wonderful read more

I really enjoyed sitting on the water. It was such a nice day. The water was calm and the ducks were swimming by. Our server was kind and the appetizers were tasty. A little on the pricey side. $20 for 4 shrimp. But they were big! The bistro steak was a bavette cut which isn't my favorite but it was still flavorful. The fries could've used a little something, but my mom loved them so to each their own! I wish the creme brulee was brûléed a bit more but that might just be a me thing. Overall very good! read more

This scallops special tasted as good as it looked. The scallops were cooked perfectly (nice sear on the outside but still translucent in the middle), and the Mediterranean couscous/veggies underneath added great flavor. We also ordered the shishito peppers as a starter - perfect for sharing! The restaurant also has a decent wine list and a couple of award winning cocktails. My only complaint is that there is a huge atmosphere discrepancy between eating outside by the water vs inside on paper tablecloths. Even though you can request a table outside when you make a reservation, the restaurant doesn't honor that & keeps those tables as first come first serve - just a heads up! The local art around the walls inside helps the decor a bit, but the inside atmosphere needs some more attention to compare to how outside looked. Overall, the food is what stands out at this restaurant. Food: B+ Drinks: B Service: C Atmosphere: C read more

Martine's RiverHouse Restaurant - Scallops (special) - New American Near Me - New Hope, Pennsylvania

Great atmosphere. Bar area especially. Food is fabulous. Very fresh and portions are perfect. Wait staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Some I've seen every time I've been there which to me is a good sign of how management treats them. Summer time on the patio overlooking the Delaware is not to be missed. Romantic if you are looking for a special night out with your honey. read more

Charcuterie plate was VERY disappointing. More like a random sampling of unrelated ingredients that didn't belong on the same plate. Unpleasant bland crackers and tired grapes included. Some ingredients belonged on a pizza, not a cheese and meat plate. $28? View was great and the service was good. My companion had a very meager salad. Total bill with tip (for lunch), no drinks a whopping $72. read more

The best burger I have ever eaten in my life! Fries were also to die for. Very pleasant and helpful service from John- he is always the best! Highly recommend eating out on the deck, beautiful view of the river. read more

Martine's RiverHouse Restaurant - View from the deck - New American Near Me - New Hope, Pennsylvania

Smallest amount of tuna on the Tuna salad i have ever seen, the cook use a razor to cut it as small as possible. Bummer. My date order the scallops were tasty but there was something unappealing in the corn relish that reminded me of paste. The drinks we good, the view is perfect. I haven't dined here in several years, it will be several years till i return. read more

5 stars for ambiance (sat right next to the river and watched the ducks & geese), and food quality. The ceviche and friend green tomatoes were awesome. However, cost was too high for marginal drinks ($15 for sangria) and apps. The apps were the perfect size but quite pricey. While the atmosphere was pretty and the server nice, there was a weird vibe when we entered. The host went to seat us and the bartender yelled over the bar to him that the 2 women she was speaking to were "here first and were waiting for a table." He sat us first which was nice. For the record, those 2 women entered right in front of us and went right to the bar area to talk to the bartender. The host came around the corner and only saw us and sat us. Moral of the story, bartenders should be nice and friendly to patrons AND fellow staff. It just set a poor tone. I guess $78 for 2 drinks and 2 apps is normal here. Won't be returning as there are MANY restaurants in the area to choose from. read more

This place is tucked away; you have to know it's there. We were taken there by friends on a chilly but sunny Sunday afternoon and had a really good lunch! Probably wouldn't have found it on our own, but it was obvious that plenty of people know about it! The menu isn't extensive, but it covers the basics. I enjoyed the mussels, plump and delicious, served in a good Thai coconut curry broth that I ultimately drank up (after soaking the two slices of toasted Italian bread that came with) rather than asking for a spoon. H. had the chicken sandwich that was large and served with a salad; for a refreshing change, this restaurant has an upcharge for fries, and salad is the standard side. Great idea! Our friends shared the butternut squash soup and a huge sandwich. My husband had a huge sandwich too. Food was very good, service good too. The place was absolutely slammed at lunchtime! Make a reservation (if they take them, I don't know), but also worth the wait if you have to. read more

2.5 Nothing like a cold drink on a hot day with a few crispy, crunchy French fries to make the day even better after Walking around new hope going in and out of the stores and trying to avoid the mass of people. I didn't try the mussels but I was told they were of nice size and in a great sauce;however, the dish should have be a lower bowl to allow better access to the sauce. The bartender could also have been more friendly read more

Our waiter was Chris, and I have to say amazing guy. He was knowledgeable, attentive, and patient. The drinks were VERY well made. The food also was great, we had the pork chop and steak and can't complain about either. Only reason I took a star off was the pork chop was a bit dry with the price being considered. The main source of the stars here are the drinks, the location/ambiance with the riverfront view, and the waiter was on top of his game all night. read more

This restaurant is small and very cute located with a view of the river, it can get noisy but would recommend it for a date night. The service was good the waiter were very attentive and always came to check up on our table. The appetizers were good we ordered the Thai Curry Mussels which had this beautiful broth at the bottom of the bowl but not enough bread to dip with. We also ordered the fried green tomatoes with shrimp and bacon, that was probably my favorite the tomatoes was crunchy and the shrimp was nice and plumped with an aioli underneath. The Brussel sprouts were well seasoned and perfectly crispy without the greasiness. The mushroom ravioli came with 5 large ravioli and had a delicious cream sauce. The scallops with cauliflower spinach and a beet purée was a winner for me the combination of all the ingredients kept you wanting more. The desserts ordered were a peach "tres leche" which I was not impressed by as the cake had no milk just a whipped filling so the name of the dessert should be changed and the crème brûlée which also lacked on the brûlée and flavor wasn't there for me. read more

The view is 5 stars unfortunately the food is only 3. We stopped in for lunch and both dishes were underwhelming. We ordered the salmon entree and burger. Salmon was good but i did not care for the fried rice side dish. Burger was overcooked and the side salad was soggy. No complaints about the service that was on point and staff was friendly. I just thought with a view so spectacular the food should measure up. read more

My boss recommended this place to us because he goes here frequently. He said it had a great view and good food. Both are absolutely true. We split the fried green tomatoes (it's really big and served with shrimp and bacon). My coworker had the risotto with shrimp, I had the NY strip. We split a con leche cake for dessert. All was great, but I would have been happy with the green tomatoes and maybe a side salad. My only complaint with this restaurant is this: we were dressed in yoga pants and shorts, and I felt like based on how we were dressed we were put in a corner table next to the waitress stand instead of near the windows and view (where there were several tables open), even after I asked for a view. So I guess dress nicely because they do judge here. read more

What a gem! I am glad we walked up on this restaurant. The location is beautiful! It's right on the river. The dining area is comfortable enough for a date or for a group. The server was great. She checked on us often. The food was really good! I love fried green tomatoes, and their version was great. My entree was very good. I really liked the shrimp. There were mushrooms, asparagus, Brussels sprouts included. It was all very good. I did not try the steak but my coworker loved it. Great meal! Come check them out!! read more

Having never been to New Hope before, I was excited to try any restaurant in the area as I had heard many good things. My friends had been here before and picked out this place. It was right on the river and was great place to watch the sunset with sweeping views of the Delaware. We sat outside, although the ambiance inside seemed stellar. My girlfriend and I split the Filet Crostini to start, which was really tasty but difficult to eat (and split!). The crostini was almost too crispy, as if it was stale. The mix of flavors was spot on, however, finished with a great red wine reduction. For entrees, I got the Chicken, which came with au gratin and vests. It was delicious! Perfectly cooked and the Demi glaze it was served in was perfect! My girlfriend got Orecchiette with Italian Sausage that may have been even better. The sauce was a watery white wine but it tasted amazing. Definitely a European vibe to this dish. I would definitely recommend both. For dessert, we all split the Key Lime Pie and Creme Brûlée. This was definitely the low point of the meal. The sugar on the creme brûlée was a little burnt and pie tasted store bought. We ended up going to Moo Hope for ice cream after. Don't let the dessert or the view from the outside fool you, this place was top notch. The food combined with the view of the river makes this a top 3 stop if you are only New Hope for a few days. Be sure to check it out! read more

ROMANTIC! Romantic! ROMANTIC! Are you on a date? Come here! Just look at the view we had, amazing. We ended up here completely on a whim, I am so happy we did. The service was terrific from the moment we walked in until the end of our night. They have a bunch of really sexy drinks, again perfect for a date night with your honey. Delicious appetizers and a nice menu overall. We also got dessert at the end and I need to give a big shout out to our server, she was delightful. I wish I could remember her name. They get extra points for supporting the LGBTQ+ ‍ community, the drinks you see pictures were part of a contest the restaurants of New Hope were running. I had the 'Tiny Dancer' a combination of Tito's, strawberry purée and Prosecco. I hope they win. Cheers. read more

We booked an indoor table for the evening and after we arrived, they told us they only had outside tables for our time. They said they do not book specific tables, only what's available. We had to wait for a table instead, luckily, this did not take too long, since I kept telling my husband for us to go somewhere else. The restaurant was very loud and my husband had to wait to get a 2nd beer for quite a while. The hummus appetizer came with VERY deeply fried, burned pita bread. The salmon in my dish was a very good size and tasted fine, but the red lentils side was anything special. My husband dish, the mushroom ravioli tasted great, but it wasn't a lot of food!! We ordered desert, the berry pie with a side of vanilla ice cream. This tasted fine, but this restaurant is CHEAP. They couldn't even give us a good amount of vanilla ice cream! It was like they took a melon ball scoop to serve us that ice cream. This is our last time here for sure. Go somewhere else. read more

This is my second visit to Martine's in the past year and both times I really enjoyed the views of the Delaware River and the New Hope-Lambertsville Bridge out on their deck. We arrived right around their opening time and were seated at a table quickly. The first time I visited last year we had about a 20 minute wait to be seated. Great cocktails. With a great variety of unique craft drinks to choose from, we felt encouraged to order drinks that we may not have normally considered. FYI: They serve Barr Hill products (local distillery in VT). The Barr Hill Tomcat is a barrel aged gin. It tastes woody like whisky, not like a gin. Excellent: Burger - Great. The kitchen didn't have jalapeños to spare as I prefer on my burger. It was a little overcooked but I still really enjoyed it. Fries were great also, very fried. Shrimp Po'Boy - I ordered this last time. Awesome dish. Ask for extra sauce. Service from Erin. Totally awesome, attentive and offered us great menu recommendations! Views - Great deck and indoor seating room with views of the river. Great: Cocktails and beverage menu variety. I like Chartreuse which they didn't have in during this visit, but I enjoyed the Jaybird cocktail which was very refreshing out in the heat. Skip: Mac and Cheese. It's good for kids as a "Pasta & Butter" dish. The cheese sauce didn't have much flavor and it was very buttery. Breadcrumbs lacked seasoning/flavor for me but this could be someone else's favorite Mac and cheese! Definitely will be back, thanks for the great food and service! read more

If you look at my other reviews, it may look like I hand out 5 star ratings with great ease, but please note that I usually can't be bothered to write about places that I didn't enjoy - Unless I think that a sketchy review may lead to the owners reading the review and hopefully making some changes- Martine's doesn't have anything to worry about. They used to be located across the street in a historical tavern and for many years my wife and I would visit New Hope and Martines for important days (Mostly our Anniversary's and Birthdays). This places has never been inexpensive, but you get a great deal when you consider the quality of the dishes served here. Their newer location is more open and well lit, but the Cusine hasn't changed, it was wonderful then and it is just as wonderful now. I enjoyed a Martine's Sazerac cocktail very much and all of our families meals were excellent, so good in fact that we insisted that we shared a bit from earth of our dishes as we wanted them to experience what we were individually enjoying. Staff was friendly and the place is well lit (which makes me happy, I always feel that dimly lit restaurants are hiding something, I don't find it romantic either, just difficult to read the menus). The view of the river and bridge to NJ are very picturesque. While the place may seem expensive to many, it is a wonderful place to celebrate a special day with your family or loved ones or that special date that you really want to impress. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. read more

Martine's RiverHouse Restaurant - Their outside sign, this place should be visited! - New American Near Me - New Hope, Pennsylvania

AVOID!! RUDE, CATTY & UNPROFESSIONAL! I came to New Hope with friends, for a weekend trip to celebrate my Birthday. We came here for lunch, the place was dead (that should have been a sign)..the female host asked if we had reservations, no, but it was EMPTY, you'd think they'd be happy to have ANYONE come in & give them business. She also had an attitude about it. Two catty servers looked at us up & down and looked away (it was a bit of a high school moment, ridiculous) they didn't acknowledge us for 20 mins! This one woman comes in they seat her and 2 of the same servers who were catty, both went up to her to ask her if she wanted to start with drinks and apps. What are WE, chop liver?!? We ended up leaving! So UNACCEPTABLE! We've never experienced such sh*tty service! There's no explanation as to why they didn't acknowledge us at all and made us wait, plus when we left we walked right past the host & servers and they didn't even ask us why we're leaving. They said nothing at all , so they obviously didn't want to serve us for some reason. We ended up going to another place & spent $300 between the 3 of us & had a much better experience else where! I am a writer for a travel blog & have a popular travel instagram profile, where going to places is part of my job because I recommend and promote businesses well this will definitely be written about & not in a good way! They need to get their act together and take a few courses in customer service! read more
