First time there since the new chef started. Food was amazing and the wait staff awesome. Highly recommend trying it.

Our experience at Oldestone was odd. We will probably not return or just stick to the bar area of we do. The bar area bartender made an excellent alcohol free cocktail which was greatly appreciated. Reservations were running about half an hour behind, we weren't upset or anything. We were asked if we had been there before (no) but no advice was given related to the menu and ordering toppings for the steaks. The starting bread was delicious! We ordered a scallop appetizer which was nice but very small. Served with under seasoned spinach and three pieces of undercooked broccoli. My partner ordered red snapper and it was cooked nicely but served with the same under seasoned spinach and undercooked broccoli. I ordered a ribeye that was under seasoned, it may have been slightly salted but no pepper. I was confused by the sauces and didn't know to order. None were recommended. The steak knife was not serrated and it was a struggle to slice the steak up with all the fat and gristle, which felt out of conjunction with the price point of the steak. We ordered two sides: asparagus and baked potato. Perhaps they sold out as we were served mashed potatoes with no notification. The asparagus was nice and perfectly seasoned. Throughout the meal the server touched and nudged the plates and cutlery and glasses around the table. It was a little odd I didn't understand why. When it was time for leftover boxes the server proceeded to shove the food into a too small box and then left us with no cutlery or anything else to use besides our fingers when the server fingers had like touched the food. The cappuccino and cake was also just fine. In the bar area someone had the cannoli looking cake we should have ordered instead. The coloring and atmosphere is unique and interesting, and the valet is complimentary. read more

We dined here for New Year's Eve. We made it clear that we had (2) in our party that were strictly gluten free (both have celiac disease) while making the reservation and we also made it clear to our server when he arrived to our table. Despite our best efforts, one of the (2) people that were gluten free got severely sick from gluten contamination (vomiting for hours). The waiter assured us that the entre selection in question was gluten free. We called the restaurant when we got home to ask them to review what was ordered with the chef to see if there was gluten in the recipe. As it turned out, there was wheat in the risotto that came with the salmon. So either the waiter was uniformed or blatantly lied to us when we asked him to confirm the entre was gluten free. We called back the next day after the incident to speak with the manager...so far the manager has yet to return our call. I'm writing this review 4 days after calling the manager. The wait staff, management, and restaurant DO NOT take food allergies seriously and can't be bothered to know what items contain allergens on the menu. More troubling is that they communicated inaccurate information to the customers. If you have ANY food allergies, avoid this restaurant at all costs. read more

Don't even consider it. $160 for a steak that was so over-seasoned and butter-basted that it was inedible (too salty to eat). Couldn't taste the meat. Had very high hopes when we walked through the doors. $350 for a very disappointing meal. read more

Finally, a true steakhouse in the burbs!!! IMHO a much better restaurant concept than the former creole restaurant that used to be at this location. Pricey, but you're paying for actual quality prime steaks and not generic choice "meh" quality steaks found at chains like Ruth's Chris or Applebee's. read more

I have eaten here many, many times when it was Marsha Brown's. Too many times to count! We were disappointed to see that it had changed hands but naturally wanted to try it anyway. So about three weeks ago after spending the afternoon walking around New Hope we went for dinner. This was around 5:15PM after they'd just opened. We had no reservations and were told that the dining room was booked for the night. Bummer but we were guided to the high top bar tables which was fine. Ok, a close second as we really wanted to try the dining room. Our server came promptly to take our drink order. They didn't have the brand of hard cider I wanted so he recommended another which was just as good. The menu is different and smaller then the dining room. Basic pub fare offerings. My daughter had a burger with gruyere cheese, wife had the short ribs and I had the French dip with caramelized onions. Everything was good and my daughter exclaimed that her burger was the, "best she ever had!" Live music started while we were dining and he was great! Our waiter disappeared however but two promptly showed up when they saw us looking around and took over. We had bananas Foster for dessert which we all split along with tea and coffee. It was the perfect finish to a perfect day! As I write this review a few weeks later, I'm very surprised by the previous bad reviews. We experienced NONE of the things mentioned. I do take issue with some of the complaints however. Some were critical of take-out orders. Well ordering take-out ALWAYS has its pitfalls. Another issue are the complaints about the prices. Yeah, it's not cheap. But unless you've been living under a rock you may have noticed that our economy is tanking! Been to a gas station recently? You can't blame any business for its prices right now. Any business that hopes to simply stay open and pay its staff has raised its prices! So coming down on a restaurant for its prices right now simply isn't fair. Want things to change?? Remember that the next time you vote!!! read more

Canceled our reservation last minute and completely ruined our date night plans just because their chef didn't want to stay an extra hour and as per the regular advertised restaurant hours because it was a slow Thursday night (does anyone go here anymore??). You lost out on hundreds of $$ of our repeat business for your laziness, congratulations. We had a fabulous time at other nearby places instead. read more

Amazing experience. From the moment you walk up the church steps, you're greeted by friendly staff who make every part of the dining experience an enjoyable one. The downstairs bar reminds one of a 1920s Gatsby-esque speak easy with highly trained staff who serve a bevy of signature cocktails. Highly recommend the "Gaspar." The wait staff, as well as the entire dining experience was top rate. The Porterhouse for two was cooked to perfection. Can't wait for our next visit! read more

We came here for a family reunion and we're pleasantly surprised. Excellent experience, food quality and service!

My friends and I planned a weeknight ladies night out and decided to check out Oldstone. We had such a great time! Our cocktails were delicious and our bartender was fantastic - the bar itself is a really cool space! Everyone LOVED their food. We ordered a few different appetizers to start...jumbo lump crab cakes, calamari, maple glazed bacon, and lobster bisque - definitely try these!! For our main course two of us ordered petit filets and two others ordered the salmon and the seared scallops. We couldn't help but sample each other's food, and I can tell you that we were all raving about our own dishes as well as each other's. All of the staff was super nice and the interior has such a unique, upscale, warm vibe. Thank you, Oldstone, for such an amazing night out!! We'll definitely be back again for more delicious libations and food! read more

We had heard a lot about this restaurant and it looked nice from the outside so we decided to try it out. I cannot tell you how disappointed we were. We were seated for over 45 mins and not one person had come to great us or take our drink orders. There were servers passing by us the entire time since we were seat in the middle of the room. I finally flagged down a busser and asked him to please find someone to assist us. I also flagged the Host and asked her if anyone was assigned to our table. Finally a server came by apologized and said no one informed her we were her table and she was very busy tonight. We politely said ok and we ordered our drinks. She also took our order and then disappeared again for a long while. The food showed up and it was extremely unimpressive and bland. My fiancé ordered the Kansas City steak and I ordered the grouper. For the price we were paying, we expected it to taste great. Then another couple was seated next to us and their server came over and told them a list of specials. I was beyond upset at this point because we were never offered or told of any specials. Needless to say we just finished what we could, requested our bill and left. DO NOT Waste your time or money!! read more

We had family in town and our party of 5 was in the mood for a great dinner. We got the private room, and a lovely waiter named Liam--but those were the only great parts of the dinner. My mom's lobster bisque was watery and had shells in it. My brother and I both got the sea bass that was served with the crispy skin side up, but it was drowned in a cream sauce, leaving the skin soggy. The fish was mushy and tasteless. My nephew's 1 and 1/2 pound lobster cost $120--Char in Bridgewater will give you 2lbs of lobster for $95. Food prices (and everything, really) have gone up in the pandemic, but this felt closer to price gauging. We have no problem paying for a good meal, but there are plenty of high-end restaurants with much better food and more reasonable prices. It was overall very disappointing. read more

I had the absolute pleasure of dining here last week! I was in the area for business and a few local associates highly recommended Oldstone, so myself and others traveling with me took them up on it and I'm so glad we did. Our meal was nothing short of outstanding. We started with the brown sugar glazed bacon which was so savory and delicious. I ordered the filet for my entree and it was prepared to my exact liking - medium rare, perfectly seared, tender, and very flavorful. The suggested wine to pair with my filet was on point. To top it off, our server, Rebecca, made it a true fine dining experience with her attentive, accommodating, and friendly service. From the high quality food to the welcoming staff and historic, warm ambiance, Oldstone is a must try! I will absolutely be dining here again the next time I'm in the area. read more

This guy should teach a class - How to lose customers in 1 easy step. We go into this restaurant which is in a converted church and there was a party of 6 in front of us. While the hostess was waiting to get them a table, they asked if they could go upstairs to see another dining room this restaurant offers. As we were within earshot, we asked if we could follow them, which we did. I was in the rear and left standing on the 2nd to last step of the stairs as someone (later described as "the manager") was barking at our curious party to please leave and go back downstairs. Wasn't very courteous about it at all. We did go downstairs but didn't stop there, we continued out the door, then noticed the party of 6 doing the same, they probably felt the same as we did that we didn't deserve to be treated that way. This place is pricey, probably $50-$75 per head on the total check - 8 of us left, there's about $500 saying "bye bye" let alone the fact I will never return. Try being more patient and understanding with your customers, tends to help your business model when doing so. read more

First time in area, celebrating with kids and grandkids. Decor outstanding. Food and service horrible. We arrived on time at 5:30 pm with a party of 11, first ones in dining room. Ordered in regular course of time but did not receive dinner until 7:00 pm. Waiter and maitre dee apologized several times and tried to use the excuse that we were a large party. Halibut was inedible, steaks were fair at best, baked potato was a joke. Resteraunt had NY prices but did not have any value. Would not recommend it to anyone. Very disappointing! read more

Agree with the negative reviews. Prices were insanely high and food was bland. Menu selection was very limited. I've had more satisfying food at Applebee's. They charged $4 to make my drink on the rocks! read more

Had reservations for Christmas Eve. Called ahead to tell them we were going to be late because we couldn't find an Uber. We arrived 30 minutes late and They were very accommodating. This was my first time there and it was a great experience. Our server's name was Benny and he was absolutely fantastic. Our party of three ordered one filet mignon, one New York strip, and one ribeye. We ordered three sides and a bottle of wine. Everything came out in a timely manner, and the steaks were cooked perfectly. I would definitely recommend and I can't wait to go back!!! read more

I really hope this restaurant is successful but there is much that requires improvement- which is why I'm writing this. We went this past weekend to celebrate my MIL's birthday and will likely never return. I understand this is no longer Marcia Brown's AND that they just opened but I would rather not spend the amount of money we spent and risk being dissatisfied and disappointed again. The service was extremely slow, there was no bread on the table while the wait to order was over 30 minutes, items on the menu were not available but we were not informed until we starting ordering- AFTER- the thirty+ minute wait, all the menu items are way over priced for the quality of the food. I don't mind paying $90+ for a steak, however, the cowboy we ordered while supposedly "medium" was barely even rare (we have photos). We did not return it as we waited an additional hour for our food. Instead we all just shared the edible parts of our dinners. Moreover, the prawns were expensive and overcooked, the lamb lollipops were minuscule and unsavory. The chicken option was tiny! The sprite we ordered tasted like seltzer, we got a replacement but it still tasted like seltzer, the "lemonade" was likely just water with a squirt of lemon. The vodka cranberry was drowned in ice and contained a disproportionately low amount of vodka. Additionally, we had a child in the party and when we asked the server if he could ask the chef if there was a possibility of a child friendly option, he informed us that the chef was having dinner with his family- pointed out his table- and to try the dumplings ‍. We did enjoy the Ceasar salad and sides of mashed potatoes and carrots. We were anticipating dessert but decided against it as we saw the entire meal as a waste of time and money. The server was nice enough the couple of times he checked on us. I can say the decor is beautiful but it was very cold inside. Unfortunately, the reviews on yelp are pretty much on par with our experience and I regret not reading them before. Again, I really hope this restaurant makes the changes necessary to be successful. If they want to charge what they're charging, the food and service should warrant the price...the saying "you get what you pay for" cannot be applied to this situation. read more

When you arrive at a restaurant and they say the chef quit Run Run Run. We did not and we seated at the bar our reservation was at 7pm. It was 7:30 at our table, order drinks and lobster bisque and New York strip, Grouper both with stuffed back potatoes. We noticed there were tables that got there after use got there food a group was came in hour after use the got drinks, apps and there food before us . 9:15pm. Was served soup at 9pm ; manager said he would check on our and never back . We left at 9:15pm. Never got our meal. Worst evening ever. read more

Food was mediocre at best. Filet was overcooked dry and tasteless for $62. Very overpriced limited menu. Drinks were good.

Really enjoy the food, great service snd the cool atmosphere. Will be going again soon!

The drinks were great, and we were able to move our reservation to a half hour earlier. The BUT is, the meat I ordered ended up not being available after it was recommended (the pork chops), so I had to go with an alternative choice. The filet was cooked well, no complaints. The asparagus we got as a side, honestly, I don't think was cooked. It was hard, and not tasty. It was said to be served with Hollandaise Sauce on it; the sauce was no way Hollandaise. It was orange and super spicy. I couldn't finish it. Our second side was a loaded baked potato, and the impression was it was a left over potato from yesterday. Our meal was certainly not worth the $225 (with tip) that we paid. The ambiance (entertainment) was way too loud. There was a live performer down in the bar, on a keyboard, singing. It was way too loud; as it carried upstairs to where we where sitting and it sounded as though he was sitting next to us. We could hardly hear ourselves talk. Our waiter on the other hand was great. You could see he was trying and felt our disappointment. Their job is extremely hard, and his efforts were appreciated. It is understanding there are growing pains when a restaurant first opens, but to not have enough meat, and many more hiccups only 45 minutes after your main dining room opens...sadly we won't be returning. It isn't the Marsha Browns that we were originally attracted to. read more

We really looked forward to going to Oldstone because we had always enjoyed Marsha Brown's. I think we completely understand and expected it not to be the same so that is definitely not the issue. We ordered the raw oysters and they were absolutely great. The wait staff was also excellent. The real problem is the food quality. We had never had such a terrible wedge salad. It was wilted, poor quality ingredients and extremely disappointing. Our steaks were very, very mediocre. They were over-seared to charred on the outside and sadly not what we had looked forward to or expected. I think it was diner quality. The Greek fries were ok but I wouldn't need to get them again. The loaded baked potato was decent, my husband liked it. The desert was a creme brûlée and belonged in the collection of mini desserts at that chain restaurant Seasons52. The drinks were decent but expensive and several of the drinks we requested were not available. Overall the quality did not equate to the price at all and sadly we will hold on to our Marsha Brown's memories and won't waste another night out at this place. read more

What can I say - this place truly made a come back from when I visited a year ago. Upon entering (on a rainy night) valet had umbrellas for us. The hostess was polite and friendly. The owner, Chris, came to check on our table a few times despite how busy they were. The energy in the establishment seemed positive overall and everyone who worked there seemed like the genuinely enjoy working there. For a high end place there was no pretentiousness and down to earth. Recommend the pear salad and splitting the tomohawk! read more

I had dinner at Oldstone in New Hope last night, my ribeye was horrible, it wasn't just not thick, it was outright thin, it was not even half inch thick. And of course a steak that thin is hard to get medium rare and was not, it was dry and flavorless. How they can serve a steak like that and charge the price they do is a crime. Next time I buy a nice thick ribeye at the butcher shop and cook it myself and save some serious money and have it cooked to a true medium rare. I will not visit this establishment again. read more

The food and atmosphere at Oldestone were great. That being said, we waited 45 minutes to be seated even though we had a reservation. The waitstaff was kind and courteous. read more

Not worth it. Drinks at the bar and bartenders were great then it went down hill. Host literally forgot about our reservation for thirty minutes. Watched at least a dozen people get seated who arrived after us. Had to ask twice to get seated. Michael our waiter was very nice and professional except it took 30 minutes to get our drinks. Not sure that was his fault. Tuna app was good. Iceberg wedge was mediocre. After apps we waited 40 minutes for our steak. Watched the couple next to us get their order before us even though sat down after we had our apps. Tomahawk for two was at best for one and of course undercooked. I have paid half the price in this area for a similar steak. Michael was very apologetic and said he would have the manager stop by. I guess she did but she didn't introduce herself or apologize. All she did was ask if I needed another beverage. read more

The one star is strictly for the ambiance of the restaurant. We were celebrating my birthday. Arrived to the table and were not greeted by anyone for 10 minutes. Another 10-15 minutes to receive our drink order (all while being pushed to place our food order). Second drink order didn't come until the meal, which was 30 minutes (at best) later. Once the food was delivered, there was no check back from the waiter (Mason) to see if we were pleased. Let me emphasize: NO ONE CAME TO OUR TABLE. Finally they brought out the birthday dessert, but did not ask anyone at the table if they would like dessert. It became bizarre after that. Food runners kept trying to deliver food to our table once it was cleared because we had been sitting there so long with nothing in front of us, it looked like we had not eaten. Those who had steak were pleased. Minimal and mediocre seafood offerings for ridiculous prices. I have been to Michelin star restaurants and not paid those prices. It's not the money, it's the quality of service that counts. Diners do a better job. The only person who inquired if we enjoyed ourselves was the 19 year old valet when we were leaving. Way too many quality restaurants in New Hope. Do not waste your time or your money. read more

This place is awesome!!! Celebrated a 50th with 20 friends and it was amazing!! Thank you and keep up the great work!!

great service anthony was awesome! love the creme bruele! the vibe was fantastic and the food was delicious. The bread was like a warm soft pillow read more

In January we took our family to celebrate our 30th anniversary. We were big Marcia Brown fans, we live locally and wanted to support the new place. The venue looks great and the staff was nice but other then that it was a huge disappointment. The rib appetizer was like shoe leather, the steak was served on an ice cold plate, the steak sauce was basically awful and dessert was expensive and average at best. Don't ask if it's a special occasion and then do nothing special. I was so upset about the very expensive and lack luster experience that I decided to call the manager a few days later. I prefaced with saying how beautiful the space looks and how nice the staff was and then spoke about the food. The manager could basically care less. He told me steaks are only on hot plates when they stay on the line for too long. He also deeply lacked concern for not acknowledging the special occasion that they initially inquired about. We felt ripped off and so disappointed. The Logan Inn a week later was a way better experience! read more

I was very excited to try this place , we loved the last restaurant that this place was. I'm so happy it had the same ambiance. It was a very busy night and we had trouble with valet parking, since they were so busy. It caused us to be 15 minutes late for our reservation. The hostess was very nice and understanding and seated us immediately. Our waiter was amazing and very attentive. I have to say the cocktails are expensive but delicious! The up charge on the bottles of wine however, are ridiculous. But, that didn't keep us from ordering a bottle. Now let's get into it... I will admit that I am not a professional chef nor have I ever owned or operated a restaurant. We are just a normal couple that go out to eat A-LOT. If you don't want to read this long post I'll just say right now.. The food was good BUT almost 400.00 for two good? Uh.. no. The prices make this restaurant a "special occasion" spot only. If I'm spending this much for a meal I expect it to be perfect. I can absolutely tell that they are trying but just fell short. Perfection takes time and I do believe they will get there and make it worth the price. We ordered the sesame crusted seared tuna appetizer. The tuna was great and there was a lot of it, but only came with a pea sized ball of wasabi that was hard and like wax. We weren't even sure it was actually wasabi. The only suggestion I have there is better wasabi and more ginger and it would have been a 10. We also had the lobster bisque soup. I have to say, this was the worst I've ever had. There was no lobster meat to be seen. It tasted like seafood... but that was it. The texture was sandy , gritty and it was very bland. My husband ordered the Cowboy Ribeye,medium rare and was in heaven! He loved it and it was cooked perfectly. I ordered the petite filet, Oscar style and it tasted so good that I ignored the fact that it wasn't the medium rare I ordered. It was 3 different temps throughout. Well on the outskirts, then medium, then medium rare in the middle. I've never seen that before... but it tasted so good I didn't care. I had to ask the server and then my waiter to bring my sides and sauce that I ordered ,since it didn't come out with the meal. But they were fast and it was delivered within 5 minutes. The Horseradish cream sauce was more like sour cream and chives with a hint of horseradish so don't waste your time with that. So, was it worth $400.00 for 2? No. But it was a great night out at a very nice place. I think we will stick with Rocco's though. It's half the price and the food is perfectly cooked. read more

It saddens me how different and underwhelming this restaurant is. Marsha Browns was our favorite and Oldestone doesn't even come close. We were hoodwinked when they advertised for Mardi Gras that they would have the crab cheesecake and crab beignets from the old place. They weren't anywhere close. All you take was fried batter with nothing in it nor any sauce. Crab cheesecake was okay. Dinner on a Thursday took 2.5 hours and was $300 without tip for two adults and child. They have no childrens options for meals which is odd. Waitress was a bit clueless on the menu but very sweet. Food was average. Lobster was $120 for 1.5 lb and was $47 for a tail that was 4-5 bites. Gumbo wasn't a stew at all and was average. We most certainly won't be back and I'm betting it won't last long with high prices and mediocre food at best. So disappointing. Fingers crossed Marsha will come back someday! read more

The NEWLY OPENED OldeStone is absolutely breathtaking! The much needed refresh on what USED TO BE, BUT IS NO LONGER Marsha Brown's was much needed. The black, the gold, the Art Deco is truly a piece of art in itself. The attention to detail and service here is wonderful, right from the start. Upon walking in you're met with a coat check, a nice touch. Then a beautiful open bar with quite the choice of wine & cocktails. We had the Stone Witch, the Manhattan, and the Violet Femme all were made promptly and beautifully. Eryn was a real treat. Next we headed up to the 3rd floor bar/lounge area. Comfortable chairs & couches all set around a piano player. As we are seated at our table for dinner, we are greeted by John, our server. A true professional, with immaculate service. Everything from the raw bar was fresh & tasty, although they could use a little more horseradish in their cocktail sauce. But that's just a personal preference. The presentation of the lobster bisque & the grouper are well worth a table alone! We also ordered the lollipop lamb chops, the acorn squash, the red gem salad, an most of the side dishes. My personal favorite being the bread dumplings. All dishes are well balanced and filling. A must have experience while in the New Hope/Lambertville area. read more

The ambiance of this historic restaurant is unique and beautiful! Soft music and beautiful stained glass windows definitely enhance the experience. The service was tremendous!!! Huge shoutout to our server Mason for making our experience spectacular! Definitely request him if possible on a visit to this restaurant! Management, if you read these reviews, know you have found yourself a diamond in Mason! The food was excellent- high quality all around. Seafood apps were fresh and perfect. Three types of oysters- all were awesome! Steaks were cooked perfectly and were exceptional quality. Swordfish was fresh, and perfectly cooked and seasoned. Dessert was homemade and delicious. The meal was a bit pricey but given the inflation rates of today, Americans are paying significantly more for fuel and food than we did two years ago. Restaurants feel that burden too. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant and plan to return. read more
