    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!!

    Chocolate Mousse

    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.

    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. We walked from our #WedgwoodInn. If you're driving, give yourself extra time to find street parking because the restaurant die not have its own parking lot.

    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!

    Lobster roll

    This place has such a nice view right on the river and very good service. The food was good and portions were decent. It is a bit pricey but worth it for the ambiance.

    Fried Green Tomatoes

    Party of six for Wednesday wine down we decided to eat inside with the view of the river Erica our server was fabulous knowledgeable & attentive highly recommend the food which the take inconsiderate my desire for no sesame on their tuna entree but all meals were stellar

    Hummus with pita bread
    Toni P.

    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.

    Wild boar ribs

    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!

    Brussel sprouts coconut shrimp
    Katie K.

    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!

    Fireworks menu

    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

    Scallops (special)
    Julia B.

    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

    Delaware River view from our table on the deck.
    Drew N.

    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!

I found the bartenders outside to be very responsive, attentive, and helpful - I was never lacking for something to sip on. I recently decided to stop drinking alcohol, and it's pretty accommodating to that choice - seltzer at the ready, and a few mocktails on the menu! I ordered a virgin mojito, and it was great! Especially considering I can barely ever get a mojito anyway (yes, as soon as I decide to stop drinking, the first happy hour I attend has it available!). Food was not bad - we got a small spread of different appetizers, and I thought they were all pretty good. Nachos, a big taco thing, fried mac and cheese balls - decent bar food. With a name like Havana, one might expect it to be a Cuban spot, and in some ways it is (thanks again for the mojito!), but the menu was fairly mainstream. Overall a pretty good experience, I think, and I wouldn't be opposed to going again for another happy hour, though New Hope has lots of options! Parking was street-only, which was fine on a Tuesday evening, but I can imagine it being rough on a weekend.

We were seated in the beautiful outdoor area. There were a few ants and bugs flying around, so if that bothers you, you can always ask for a table inside. They offer complimentary bread with a sun-dried tomato spread and truffle butter, which was a great first bite. We ordered the surf and turf (short rib and scallop noodles) and daily special, which was a 14oz dry aged pork chop) and were impressed with both entrees. The flavors all paired together worked perfectly. We also tried their rice pudding dessert and a couple cocktails, which we also enjoyed, Be sure to book a reservation in advance if you are planning to visit the New Hope area.

The surf & turf was a very generous portion of short ribs and sea scallops noodles with wild mushrooms in a truffle cream sauce. We also had the sesame and panko crusted tuna entee with wasabi "air" foam. We appreciate the wonderful experience, outside table surrounded by blooming seasonal flowers and plants. For dessert had chocolate creme brulle, and strawberry sorbet. Everything was plated beautifully and tasted amazing. We can not wait to return to this outstanding picturesque restaurant on the canal in New Hope.

    Perhaps this review is a bit belated, but it's never unnecessary to mentally return back to a trip…read more(from a few months ago) to ensure I close out my reviews from that time with one more stellar write up. Herein lies the five stars of Stella of New Hope which was a superb dinner for my wife and I on what was a lovely April night. This evening of early April was nice enough to warrant eating outside (albeit with the help of some heat lamps) on Stella's deck area overlooking the Delaware River. It's quite a calming view and definitely set the mood of the night. What also helped was some fabulous service as our waiter was kind, attentive, and gave a few great suggestions for the menu. After getting a couple of refreshing drinks (the wife did a margarita while I had the bourbon-based Stella Spritz) we headed down the food path. Those aforementioned menu suggestions started playing a role here as the waiter suggested the house-made bread, but told us we can get the brown pumpkin sage butter that's usually on top of said bread on the side (a fantastic idea, especially because my wife can be a little iffy with pumpkin/sage). Now it was a great thing to have that butter for dipping, but dang I wish the Delaware River was filled with it because that was some good spread! The wife even enjoyed it, and the flavors really complimented the warm, fluffy brioche type loaf that we consumed. For the main course, my wife got what can only be described as every onion ever (more on that in a sec), while I took the waiter advice one more time and got something I don't normally have, hence why I went for the house-made lobster ravioli. Wow were these tender morsels exquisitely delicious. The butter, lemon, and truffle found in the sauce added such flavorful notes. Speaking of flavors, it's onion time! My wife ordered the French onion pasta which literally lists four or five different kinds of onions in its menu description and really creates a wild punch on the palate. It was a little rich and perhaps overpowering for my wife to finish on her own (I can understand how it might be a bit heavy to attack for one person), but I helped to get her through most of the meal and I can't say I didn't love the onion life. Maybe it's not for everyone, but if you enjoy a good onion, get this. Overall, Stella of New Hope is a wonderful spot to dine at. There are great views, lovely service, delightful drinks, and some fantastic food worth experiencing. Not the cheapest meal I've ever had, but well worth every dollar spent. I can't say when I'll be back to New Hope, but it's not that far from where I live so there's always a chance I'll return. And if I do, Stella will be on my mind.

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!
