Bucks County Playhouse, a historic theater located in an old grist mill, has been a prominent entertainment hub since 1939. It has hosted renowned actors such as Grace Kelly and Angela Lansbury. The playhouse offers a diverse range of performances including musical revivals, dramas, children's shows, live music, and stand-up comedy. In addition to its entertainment offerings, the playhouse is surrounded by beautiful scenery that visitors can enjoy while taking in a show.
Ventured to Bucks County Playhouse on the draw from the Leader of the Pack show. We had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed the show, atmosphere, hospitality, and the On the Deck restaurant after the show. Talented cast and genuine good time! Great story flow, musical and dancing!!! Total seratonin surge experience! Shoot out to our superb waiter Ryan! GF options are available! 🎉🎊

Whats with the staff strobing their flashlights in the audience over, and over, and over during the show? Unbelievable behavior and volume of interruptions. I didn't take my phone out once but certainly was aware when anyone else did because of your STAFF. Extremely excessive with the interruptions and blinking flashlights in patrons’ faces. I have never seen such aggressive behavior at a theater. I will not return to this venue for this and other reasons, including the terrible view. Show and audience were fine.

I was lucky enough to score tickets for one of the final Rocky Horror shows starring Frankie Grande, and what an experience! This was my first time at this theater, and I loved the intimate setting. Every seat felt like a great seat. The set design and scene transitions were fantastic, and the talent on stage was absolutely shining. The audience participation was everything you’d hope for. People were shouting the classic one-liners, plus a few fun modern twists that had everyone laughing. The goodie bag with rice, a newspaper, and cards was such a fun touch! The best part came at the end when every attendee was invited on stage to “do the Time Warp” with the cast. It was organized, energetic, and so much fun! Frankie Grande was incredibly gracious, he met every fan outside afterward for photos and autographs, taking his time with each person. He was warm, sincere, and clearly grateful for everyone who came. I also want to give a huge shout-out to the theater staff. During “The Time Warp,” a guest had a medical emergency. The house lights came on immediately, clear instructions were given, and within seconds, two doctors in the audience stepped in to help. The situation was handled with incredible professionalism and compassion. After a brief intermission, the show resumed, and we were later told that the guest was going to be OK, which was such a relief to hear. Thank you to the cast, crew, and staff for creating such a memorable and heartfelt night. I’ll never forget it!

Date of Visit: Sat Aug 19, 2023 We came to Buck’s county to see a show at the Buck’s County Playhouse – The Bridges of Madison County starring the great Broadway star, Kate Baldwin. The area around the theatre is absolutely beautiful. The theatre is situated right on the Delaware river overlooking New Jersey. The theatre is a renovated historic gristmill right on the water. The seating is nice and comfortable – with a little leg room – its not too tight. The stage is easily seen from most seats without issue – as the theatre is small-ish. The sound quality if fantastic - we heard every word and song as clear as can be. I am glad we came to see this show because otherwise I don’t think I would have known about the town of New Hope and what a charming and historic little town it is.

Nice theater with friendly staff. The well directed show featured talented actors. Drinks were fairly priced, not the cheapest but not as expensive as NYC shows. **The one thing you must know, GET THERE EARLY, PARKING IS AN ISSUE. Fortunately New Hope is a cute little town, so you can always stroll through some shops to kill time or get lunch or dinner before the show.

Had the best time at the Bucks County Playhouse where I took my family for my husband’s 62nd Birthday yesterday to awe the last showing of the “Rocky Horror Picture Show”! Amazing! Can’t wait to see ELF there as well.🥰

Absolutely fantastic place to both perform at and see a show. Not a bad seat in the house and the staff is great. I have been coming here for years and have seen many incredible shows here. I’m also a professional musician and perform my acoustic duo at both the playhouse deck restaurant and out in the court yard. It’s always a lovely experience and an absolute staple when in New Hope.

Embark on a delightful journey with the New Hope Railroad, where history and scenic beauty intertwine. This heritage railroad features both steam and diesel locomotives that traverse an 18-mile route through the picturesque rolling hills of Bucks County. Passengers can enjoy a captivating 45-minute narrated ride aboard vintage passenger coaches or an antique bar car, all while being pulled by a charming 1925 Baldwin Steam Locomotive or historic diesel engines.
New Hope has been on my radar for awhile, and when I finally got there, I was really disappointed. Billed as this quaint town with a vibrant business area of diverse shops and boutiques, most are not open during the week, and if they are, their hours are 11 AM-5 PM. The railroad was the highlight of the whole town, and is a nice little historical area. It was almost worth the trip there just to see it.

Wonderful experience. We went in the outside car with our three year old grandchild. Everyone was friendly. Informative. We liked the gift shop, although it was pricey! 45 minutes was perfect for a 3.5 year old. Beautiful memories!!

A good place to spend some time with family, just depends on what you are expecting from the trip. If you do not have small children I would suggest to take the trip before 1:30 or after that, the one at 1:30 was completely booked and had plenty of small children. This way you will have a space on the train and less people around you. If you would like to have a date, go for the first class ticket. And if the weather permits go for the open windows space, you would see more. Booking in advance is a good idea only if you know what time you need and which class you want, if you are not sure, you can do it right there at the station. Also, if you have the whole day, then you can visit both places, New Hope in PA and Lamberville in NJ. I love both and can spend hours there, especially if you come before Halloween, so you can enjoy tge decorations.

An absolutely fascinating place! It’s truly spectacular to see such an old locomotive still running 🚂. The whole town is soaked in history and antique charm — it feels like time has stopped here. 🕰️ And the bridge over the river is something special! Right in the middle, you actually cross from Pennsylvania into New Jersey – such a cool feeling to stand between two states! 🌉🇺🇸 A must-visit spot for anyone who loves history, trains, and authentic small-town vibes. ❤️

New Hope is a very atmospheric town, and the railroad adds even more charm. Here you can feel like a lady or gentleman from the 1920s. But remember, life in those distant years only looks romantic in pictures. Soot and lumps of coal will fly out of the locomotive's chimney. If you're in an open-air train car, don't wear white. And to protect your eyes, you'll be given special goggles.

Took a ride on the New Hope Railroad and it was an unforgettable experience! The vintage trains are beautifully restored, giving you that perfect mix of old-time charm and scenic relaxation. Rolling through Bucks County’s countryside feels like stepping back in time — the views are peaceful, the cars are clean and comfortable, and the whole ride has that nostalgic magic. The staff and conductors were incredibly friendly and informative, adding stories and history along the route that really bring the journey to life. Whether you’re a train enthusiast, a family looking for a weekend outing, or a couple out for a relaxing day trip, this is a must-do experience in New Hope. Be sure to check out the gift shop and nearby restaurants — it makes for a perfect afternoon. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Stepping aboard the New Hope Railroad feels like entering a time capsule—where vintage charm meets modern comfort. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was steeped in nostalgia, with classic train whistles and friendly conductors in period attire. The ride itself was smooth and relaxing, with plush seats and large windows that framed the Bucks County countryside like moving postcards. Highly recommend for families, couples, or anyone craving a beautiful, comfortable ride back in time.

Gravevine express - we came to this same experience about 2 years ago. While today was great, the experience definitely decreased in quality. The last time I remember it costing way less per person, and there was a bar in the area of first class that we were all seated. They offered a glass of bourbon on our last tour and allowed us to order multiple glasses of the wine we tried depending on how much we finished. This time around; they only offered us the 4 glasses of wine and it was over 350$ per couple. In addition, the parking situation was very misleading and it appeared like it was $15 per day when we intially looked at the screen when went to park in their SMALLLL parking lot. When we went to leave, they charged us $48 dollars for “2 hours and 5 minutes” even though they let us off the train later than “1 hour past our start time. The lady who was our tour guide advised us next time we should park elsewhere and we were totally unaware that it was HOURLY rare. We would’ve parked somewhere else but the kiosk screen did not clearly state it and there was ZERO signs in front of the kiosk. We are very disappointed bc we have visited twice and not sure we would come back due to the ridiculous pricing… cute but not sure it’s worth it at this point..

Immerse yourself in the 1920s ambiance with a ride on the New Hope Railroad or indulge in diverse culinary delights at New Hope's Ferry Market. This indoor food market hosts a dozen vendors offering options for various tastes and dietary needs, from plant-based burgers and Peruvian empanadas to sweet treats like Dole Whip and shave ice. The market is home to over 13 local businesses, each offering a unique dining experience under one modern roof.
Such a nice cozy place! Many options to choose from, even many vegan ones. Love coming back and trying something new everytime! The place is always super busy (that is a good sign, right!?) but you can always find an open table to take a seat and enjoy your food and drink. Definitely will be back soon again!

Feels like a cozy, upscale food court with a great variety of options. If you’re with a group and everyone wants something different, this place is perfect. They’ve got Mediterranean, Peruvian, Indian, and more — something for everyone. It’s fun to walk around, check out the different stalls, and pick what you’re in the mood for.

What a wonderful discovery! New Hope Ferry Market is a fantastic place that offers an incredible variety of international cuisines - Brazilian, Mexican, Greek, Indian, and more. What impressed me most was how well-organized everything was. Despite having multiple vendors, they all worked together seamlessly as if they were one unified company. The collaborative atmosphere really enhanced the overall experience. Everyone we encountered was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The aromas throughout the market were absolutely delicious, making it genuinely difficult to decide what to try first - a good problem to have! We ultimately went with Brazilian food from Sabor, and it was an excellent choice. The quality and flavors were outstanding. This is definitely a must-visit spot for anyone who loves diverse, authentic international food in a warm, community-focused environment. We’ll absolutely be back to try more of what the other vendors have to offer! Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ferry Market is the perfect place to stop by if you want to grab something to eat before or after exploring New Hope. The Ferry Market is a great place if you are with multiple people and everyone can’t decide on one place to eat at. The Ferry Market is a food hall with unique vendors. I decided to grab a bite to eat at Market Pizza. I got the Black Forest pizza which is like a personal pizza. The Black Forest pizza had prosciutto di parma arugula, shaved parmesan roasted plum tomatoes, fontina evoo, and balsamic reduction. I got to try a slice of the Breakfast Anytime pizza and that consisted of farm fresh egg, garlic potato, applewood smoked bacon mozzarella, fresh rosemary, and black cracked pepper. My sister and I agreed that the pizzas were delicious but we like our pizzas a little more saucy. But both were good and I didn’t feel as guilty eating the whole pizza because they were thin. Then for a sweet treat we got Dubai cups from Booza Plus which were good as well. I love the crunch of toast kataifi.

The Smell the Curry restaurant in the Ferry Market was amazing. It’s a smaller version of their other locations, but it still offers a great selection of both North and South Indian cuisines. When you enter the main entrance of the market, it's tucked toward the right-hand side. For today’s visit, my wife and I ordered the chili chicken and two Mysore Dosas. Just a fair warning: we love spicy food, and these dishes are spicy. If you can't handle the heat, they offer mango lassi or mango juice drinks to help cool things down. If you prefer milder food, there are plenty of other options, including dosas that aren’t spicy. Dosas, by the way, are thin savory crepes made from a fermented batter of ground black gram and rice. The Mysore Dosa is filled with Indian bhaji (Indian-style mashed potatoes). The dish comes with a few dipping options like sambar (a lentil and vegetable stew) and coconut chutney. It’s very filling—I didn’t have enough room to finish, but I’m looking forward to the leftovers. The market is a great place to visit while in New Hope. There are several other restaurants to try as well. It reminds me of a tiny version of the Reading Terminal. We can’t wait to visit this location again.

The Ferry Market is a foodie’s dream! It’s filled with a wide variety of options, and I was especially thrilled to find a gluten-free only restaurant—such a rare and exciting find for someone like me who is gluten-free. Finally, a place where everyone can enjoy something delicious. I’ll definitely be coming back!

We recently visited this market and had an absolutely amazing experience. This place is a foodie's paradise. It's a beautiful market filled with numerous small restaurants, each offering a unique experience. What made our experience even more enjoyable was the lively atmosphere. We tried several dishes, and each one was delicious. The prices were reasonable, and the overall food quality was amazing. Personally, we loved Annie B's delicious tarts out of all the items we have tried here so far. Bottom line, this market is definitely a must visit place if you are in New Hope. 🙌🏻

Nektar Wine Bar is a sophisticated bistro in New Hope, Pennsylvania, offering an extensive wine list and a creative menu featuring Mediterranean-style small plates. The restaurant combines the concept of a wine bar with that of a Mediterranean eatery, providing patrons with an innovative dining experience. With its chic ambiance and seasonal ingredients from local suppliers, Nektar Wine Bar is an ideal spot for those seeking something unique.
I found out about this wonderful place from the Philadelphia Mead Company's website. This a perfect place for a few drink, good vibes and people watching before or after a leisurely walk in New Hope. As you would expect parking is a bit of a challenge, but do not let that stop you. Pleasant staff and a libations list that is varied and all most a book! This will become a common stop after fall drives along the Delaware. Food was not consumed due to eating earlier. Will definitely partake on our next stop.

Anytime I’m visiting New Hope, I reserve a table for lunch at Nektar. The staff is very accommodating, and the atmosphere is great. Weather permitting we prefer to sit outside along the railing. Nektar is great for lunch, especially with three or more people, because it’s a tapas style menu. I always prefer to taste a little bit of everything when I’m at a restaurant. I love the concept of building your own charcuterie and pairing it with a wine flight! I’m giving Nektar 4 stars for food, only because I do wish their servings were more generous. For example, we were a group of four relatively petite, middle-aged women, and we had to order two of a few tapas dishes, in order for us each to sample one. Also, and maybe this is just me being Italian and always going overboard with the charcuterie I prepare, but I feel like their meats and cheeses are quite small, especially for the price. With that being said, I will always go back, I always enjoy myself when I’m there, I always leave satisfied, but I do end up spending a little bit more money than I would prefer, especially for lunch.

Food was amazing. Got the scallops with thai curry broth. Bread was great. View is beautiful.

We visited Nektar for lunch on our most recent trip to New Hope, PA The space is unexpected and elegant, offering diners both inside and outdoor seating options. We were seated outside on a beautiful terrace nestled in a lush landscape that overlooks the bustle of the town. The menu is an eclectic assortment of small plates, flatbreads, salads and charcuterie boards, all of which compliment the generous array of beer, wine and whiskey options. We decided on a selection of small plates to share and the chilled red wine flight. The wine flight was a spectacularly curated succession from light and faintly carbonated to a more rounded, smoky full-body selection. Each offering had clearly delineated notes and flavors that perfectly complemented our meal. Our small plate selections included the Fried Cheese “Saganaki, Spinach and Chickpeas, Scallops and Tuna Tacos. The “Saganaki" style fried cheese was a delicious Halloumi breaded and served with lime, jalapeno and cilantro. The combination of the slightly salty and nutty cheese with the heat of the jalapeno, acidity from the lime and herbaceous notes of cilantro are fried cheese perfection!! The Spinach and Chickpeas were served with crostini. The saffron and cumin broth was very light and we felt it could have been enhanced by a bit more salt and perhaps some heat or acidity to break up the inherent starchiness of the chickpeas. The Scallops came enveloped in a flavorful curry and coconut broth and were delicately prepared. The curry notes were mild and the coconut and lime flavors took center stage to create a light and refreshing bite. The Tuna Tacos were fresh and perfectly prepared. I opted for no crema for this order, which can sometimes result in a dry taco, but the bright and delicious tomatillo sauce in these tacos ensured every bite was juicy and flavor packed!! These tacos were the shining star of the meal for me… delish!! Overall, Nektar is an awesome place to check out in New Hope! The beautiful space, attentive and congenial staff, absolutely amazing wine, beer and whiskey offerings and diverse and delicious small plates should not be missed!!

Nestled in the heart of New Hope, Pennsylvania, The Salt House is a charming tavern housed in a historic stone building dating back to 1751. This establishment offers an upscale yet cozy atmosphere where patrons can enjoy creative and elevated pub fare made with seasonal and locally-sourced ingredients.
While visiting New Hope, PA on a beautiful fall afternoon, we found our way to this old an interesting restaurant that sits inside a pre-revolutionary war building. The small establishment makes the best use of it’s quirky space, using the upstairs and downstairs with centuries old staircases and rooms. The service is very friendly if not the most professional but they try hard in the strangest of restaurant conditions. We started with a couple of their cold and delicious draft beers from their vast list of beer, wine and cocktail choices. We then went with their cheese and meat charcuterie, which was huge, containing three delicious cheeses, soppresata, grapes, almonds, honey and toasted bread, very nicely done. We then had the steak frites, the small steak was excellent and cooked perfectly rare, the fries were homemade and tasty. I went with the crab cakes served with a brandy cream sauce, loaded with thick claw meat, one of the best that I have ever had !! The crab cakes were accompanied by some fresh tiny asparagus spears and were cooked superbly. All in all a very nice meal in an unforgettable setting.

This used to be my favorite eatery in New Hope. I have eaten here countless numbers of time. The food and cocktails were amazing. The place is quaint and cozy with both upstairs seating on couches and a nice outside area. I recently went here on a date and the food was subpar. The waiter with the long hair is amazing. He was attentive and friendly. By far the best part of this experience. Other staff members presented to the table serving food and were unable to answer basic questions due to language barriers. The food this time around was bland. The octopus was awful. The meatball sauce was too sweet. The oysters arrived in a puddle of water instead of on ice. I was embarrassed that I had recommended this place. I’m not sure what has happened over the last few months as this is my go to place but I will not be returning.

Fancy-ish dining in a beautiful, small, colonial period building. The food is good, but in my opinion, does not justify the pricing (over $30 for nearly every entree). A few standouts were the lower priced snacks we got (~$10 each): charred Brussels sprouts and deviled eggs. Dessert was thankfully, excellent. The cocktail I ordered turned out to be the wateriest drink I’ve ever had, but the server was professional enough to take it off the check. The other cocktails on the menu were nearly all Vodka based and rather uninteresting, but the wine was great. The atmosphere inside is outstanding; a real highlight. I would come back, though for a special occasion given the cost. I advise against the cocktails.

Planned a trip to visit new Hope and made a reservation for dinner. Went on a Monday night and it wasn't too busy. The place is quaint but has plenty of different seating options. The service was good, could have been better but everyone was very friendly and helpful. Cocktails were very strong and the food was tasty but wasn't worth the price. Ordered the duck meatballs and they came out cold in the center. All of the entrees sounded great on the menu but lacked flavor, depth, and had temperature issues. My scallops were overcooked and vegetables were on the greasy side. Overall, if you want to splurge I would recommend getting some drinks and snacks and you will have a great experience!

We decided to try The Salt House in New Hope while spending the afternoon in town. The outdoor seating was nice, and it was a perfect day for it. We ordered the wedge salad, lamb chop lollipops, and Maryland twin crab cakes — all were pretty solid. The food was good for what it was, the service was great, and the atmosphere was just right. If you’re looking for a nice spot without needing a reservation at one of the higher-end restaurants nearby, this is definitely worth a visit.

After walking the streets of new Hope, I was scouring online for a reservation I could make for lunch, as we were supposed to go to peddlers Village that day. I didn’t see any availability for salt, however, the restaurant was just across the street so we decided to take a peek. I noticed quite a few tables on the exterior patio were available, however, my girlfriends, and I always prefer to sit at the bar, and being that they had just opened there were plenty of seats available at their small bar. We sat down and almost immediately noticed our bartender seemed a little perturbed. Not by us, but she seems quite overwhelmed, making cocktails for the tables that were already seated. We really weren’t acknowledged at all, for probably a good three minutes. We actually just kind of kept looking at each other, almost afraid to say anything to the bartender. Shortly, after that, we were finally acknowledged, she explained she was very busy, trying to catch up, and would be with us shortly. We exchanged quick jokes with her, which seems to put her slightly at ease with us. After that, she had overheard us girls discussing certain drink drinks on the menu, and while she was still working on other orders, she started answering our questions. We each try two different cocktails while we were there, none of us have anything bad to say about the drinks, in fact, we enjoyed them thoroughly. And I should also mention, not long after our first drinks were made, the bartender was caught up and finally started engaging with us, and even cracked a smile. I asked her what I should order for lunch and she told me that they have the best burger in new Hope so of course I took her word for it! Man, she was not exaggerating, in fact, it might have been the best burger I have ever eaten in my entire 46 years of life. My girlfriend asked for a piece and it looks could kill, she would’ve been 6 feet under. My other girlfriend ordered a salad, God help her, she said she liked it. I’m not taking away any points for that because it’s a salad and that was a bad move on her part for even trying to eat healthy. All in all, I would absolutely go back to salt in a heartbeat, it might have been my favorite meal that entire weekend. And what made our visit even sweeter is knowing that when we left, we felt like we had not only cracked that rigid bartender, but I’d like to think we all really enjoyed & appreciated each others company!

My partner and I reserved a table for the wrong day and they were still able to get us in on a Saturday night! Great portions for snacks and appetizers along with a large selection of wine and spirits. The servers were delightful and knowledgeable. Somewhat inconsistent with check ins but to be expected on a Saturday 5pm rush. Will be returning!

Stopped in for a quick bite and was thoroughly pleased with the food and service. Tried the turmeric pickled cauliflower, ginger honey seiton wings and the cheese sliders, can't pick a favorite, they were all great!!! The icing on the cake was an actual toasted coconut donut, AMAZING! Will be back soon!

Worth it just for the wings! I ordered the Miso Maple Mustard Seitan Wings to dine in and the Ginger Brown Sugar BBQ Seitan Wings to take out. Although the Cheesesteak Sliders and the Chickpea Caesar Salad were underwhelming, the Peach Crumble Cashew Cheesecake was delicious. A great menu with something for everyone!

Interesting vegan fare! Enjoyed the dishes with seitan cooked in tasty sauces. The location is lovely and the restaurant offers a quiet and tranquil place to catch up with friends. Highly recommend.

Situated in the parking lot along a myriad of other businesses and restaurants, many times we have passed by this place a long the way to the town. Strictly vegetarian, we were ready for a new experience. We did not need reservations to get seated but I recommend it if you decide to dine after 6:30pm. From the small plates we had Basil garlic scape bread, zucchini and black eyed peas grittled cakes. Both were delicious and flavorful. From the large plates, we ordered the Misu, Maple and Mustard glazed tempeh. The texture was a revelation to us and the flavors were unique. The tempeh seemed to replace meat if it was a not a vegetarian dish. It came with soft and silky mashed potatoes, and a side of grilled asparagus with a bit of cole slaw on top. This was good for the two of us and we were full enough to skip dessert. They has a dessert menu we a variety of options and coffees. I highly recommend this place.

It’s always great to find a totally vegan restaurant and this on was no exception . Great atmosphere . A constantly changing menu with locally sourced ingredients . Tye wait staff was extremely friendly and the selections were great . My one complaint was I saved room fur ice cream , they were out of the one flavor I wanted and I chose the coconut ice cream with cocoa nibs which was very underwhelming … besides this I would go back in a minute.

Delicious first experience at Sprig & Vine. We aren't vegetarian but really enjoyed the food! The service was a bit slow but there were a few big parties and I wasn't in a hurry. The smashed potatoes and black eyed pea sweet potato johnny cakes are amazing. Portion sizes are generous and we ended up taking some of our main courses home so we had room for dessert. The pecan tart was probably one of the best I have ever had! It was paired with 5 spice ice cream which was also delicious. Certainly worth a try if you are in New Hope.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Can't Say Enough Good Things! Had an absolutely amazing dinner at Stella of New Hope. The food? Out of this world! Perfectly cooked steak, divine scallops, superb crunchy quinoa, and sea bass to die for. Appetizers and drinks were fantastic too. But it wasn't just the delicious food and drinks – the view was gorgeous and the service was truly outstanding from start to finish. Felt incredibly well taken care of. A fantastic experience all around!

We always love stopping by Stella’s whenever we do a little day trip to New Hope. The vibe is super chill, the service is always on point, and sitting outside is such a treat. We kicked things off with the seasonal cornbread—really tasty, nice and moist, not dry at all. I just wish it had that crunchy, toasty top layer to give it a little extra texture. For brunch, we went with the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and the Southern Comfort. The Southern Comfort was a winner—chicken was juicy, biscuits were soft and fluffy, total comfort food. The Lemon Ricotta Pancakes were decent, but I wish the blueberries were baked inside instead of just on top, and the pancakes themselves were a bit denser than I like. I would definitely recommend Stella’s and would come back to try some more dishes

I can’t begin to share how incredible Stella’s was! Everything, from the food to the heater over the outdoor seating, it was amazing! We had three courses. Brussel sprouts for an appetizer. Best brussels I’ve ever had! Our main courses were lobster ravioli and mushroom pasta. My husband had the ravioli. He said it melted more and more toy each bite. The mushroom pasta was exactly the same! I couldn’t get enough and each bite had overwhelming flavor! I never finish my entire plate and I would have licked every last bit up if I hadn’t been in public. We also had two mocktails with our meal. We don’t drink and mocktails aren’t always available, so it was very nice to have a pretend adult juice box with our meal! My husband had a non alcoholic beer and I had a grapefruit and cinnamon drink. I can’t remember the name, but holy moly, it was splendid! For dessert we had the chocolate ganache and the cheesecake mousse. The ganache was so delish, but it was the cheesecake mousse that stole the show. I mean… WOW! It has been multiple days since we ate at Stella’s but I am still thinking about it! Lastly, we had a great server! Brendan was superb! If you make your way to Stella’s please request his section and let him know that Kevin and Elizabeth, from Denver, sent you his way! He had spent some time in the Denver area and lived right in the same area we reside! He was so professional and made our time very enjoyable! Then to find we had some origins in common put a kiss on the experience! We found ourselves holding every other restaurant to the Stella’s standard and all service to Brendan’s standard our entire visit to New Hope. Got to Stella’s, ask for Brendan and have a fabulous evening! You won’t regret it!

I'll start by saying, my first impression was during my call to verify if they were dog friendly and if their patio area would be open. The young lady who answered the phone was kind, friendly and made us feel welcome right out of the gate. She offered our small party of 4 (plus a pup) a reservation and let me know they also offer a special menu for dogs. We arrived and the staff were all fantastic. It was my first time bringing our puppy out to eat in public, and he was very well behaved. The tables were a little closer together than I had anticipated, but it worked out fine and both customers and staff alike were very excited to meet him, as well as being very accommodating. Benny seemed to rate the beef and chicken pup meals 10000/10. We tried (and shared) a variety of items on the menu and nothing disappointed. Everything tasted fresh and the combinations were very well thought out. Looking forward to future visits here!

My husband and I made a reservation for my mother's birthday. We made a reservation asking for riverview but we had to ask again when we were about to be seated non-riverview seating. That is the only reason why I'm not giving 5 stars. If the person who was seating us looked at our request and at least asked us that only riverview seating is high top seatings, I would've give 5 stars. Exception of that, we had a great time. The food, service, and atmosphere were great. We ordered burrata with salad and fruits and gnocchi as appetizers. Salmon, scallops, and croquette for entree. All the dishes felt fresh, tasty, and well-thought-of. The dishes presented and tasted pleasant. We would come again.

One of my fav place in New Hope. We sat outside and it was so beautiful. Staffs are so kind and sweet, one of the hostess asked me if I needed help zipping up my dress in the ladies' room. And of course food and drinks are excellent. I can’t wait to go back.

Our second time here and it did not disappoint. Katy, our server, was helpful, informative, knowledgeable, and friendly throughout. She's a real gem for this business. We sat outside, but both inside and out the atmosphere and views are excellent. Our food came in a timely manner, as did our drinks. The waygu beef tataki was sooo good, a must try. The pork belly with collard greens (awesome) and I substituted asparagus for the grits. Everything was very good. My wife had the island salmon with curry rice and bok choi. She said it was very good too. This is a place that is not a run of the mill cheap eats. Here you pay more, but get what you pay for. You must try if in the area. Our next time in New Hope, we'll be back!

We celebrated my friend’s wedding anniversary over brunch at Stella’s in New Hope. We started with their burrata salad with figs, Asian pears, pomegranate and spiced nuts, For main courses, we had the avocado toast, lemon ricotta pancakes, and the ahi tuna bowl. I tried their Orchid Beach cocktail made with grapefruit-flavored vodka; my friend had the Stella Spritz, with a lemongrass-infused vodka. both were very good. Everything was delicious and the service by Lindsay was excellent. Please note: parking is $30!

Go for the atmosphere- at the expensive side, but good for special occasions.. or more like a romantic dinner! Amazing vibe.. interiors make you feel like you are in a tropical area! Key west or Miami vibe!! Food is good. I am vegetarian, they customized the entree for me! Loved it! Servers are nice. They look after you! I really like it!! Nice drinks options! Get well dressed, and feel the vibe! Can find a table on OpenTable and book it from there!! Difficult to find a parking on busy Saturday nights… but you will find in 5 mins walks area..

This was our first time visiting New Hope, and with so many food recommendations from friends and family, we were overwhelmed with choices. We decided on Zoubi, and it ended up being our favorite spot of the trip---surprisingly, no one had recommended this gem to us! The food was amazing, but the true standout (and the reason we’ll be recommending Zoubi first to anyone who asks) is the ambiance. Cozy, intimate, and romantic, with a magical garden setting, chandeliers, and glowing candle lights, it felt like a hidden escape.

What a hidden gem! Super accommodating as my wife is vegetarian. The chef whipped up an amazing veggies pasta. I had the colossal shrimp in anchovies butter, which kinda scared me but was out of this world. The crab cake was both the biggest and among the best I've ever had, with the bed of crayfish chowder. The deserts were both delightful as well. Wine selection and prices were also terrific.

Had reservations with a friend on Friday at 6:30pm. Place is small and was really busy so took like 10mins before we were seated. Very a cute little restaurant, feels like eating in a garden. Staff was friendly. Service was a little slow because it was so busy. Got 2 cocktails which were both excellent. Flavor combos were great, not too sweet, and drinks were boozy. There's complimentary bread that comes to the table which was focaccia with truffle butter and a sundried tomato spread. Very delicious I really enjoyed the subtle hint of truffle from the butter and the sundried tomato was so full of flavor. The bread was awesome. We shared the cheeseboard and it had a great assortment of cheese and jams. The bread was crispy exterior and soft interior. Olives had a nice pickled kick to it and the pears were delicious. For entrees I got the lamb. Cooked perfectly at medium rare with an amazing crust. I really enjoyed it with the potato and lamb side and the sauce just added more delicious flavor. For dessert we got the peach cobbler which came with cinnamon ice cream which was amazing. Definitely felt like it was more of an apple cobbler since it had more apples than peaches but either way it was delicious.
