    Limited menu, expensive. Not a good value relative to similar restaurants.

    Cocktails were excellent especially the Bitchen Camaro! The Caesar salad and Lamb Meatballs were absolutely delicious as were the Seared Scottish Salmon, the Pan Roasted Rainbow Trout and the perfectly cooked House Cut Fillet. I thought the Crab Cakes had a little too much filler.

    Had a quiet lunch on Friday just after they opened. Great sandwiches, excellent service. On a recent Saturday evening, 7 of us ate in a semi-private room in the back to celebrate my wife's birthday; great service and food, didn't get rushed. Easy to converse. The main room, however, was another matter: busy and noisy. Great spot!

    A well thought out menu with many unique and delicious options. Healthy options too. Comfortable atmosphere with a great jazz vibe coming from the talented trio of musicians. The food was great, the service was on top of things. We will definitely recommend and return.

    Love the tavern atmosphere. Jazz music started playing at 6:30 and they were not too loud which was perfect. Had a delicious cheesesteak, sandwiches, all generous portions. It was a lovely evening.

    Good food and drinks are to be found at this nice staple of beautiful downtown New Hope. Tholugh the real star of the show is their presentation of The Great American Songbook, presented live here on selected fine evenings ?

    We loved the food, from cold house salads with homemade dressing to the desserts. Service was also on point, always attentive but not overly. Plus he had a great personality!
