    Wonderful family dinner the night before Mother’s Day. The cocktails and the appetizers were spectacular. We started with the Cornmeal Crusted Calamari, Braised Octopus, Lamb Meatballs. The mains were also delicious, Seared Scottish Salmon, Fish & Chips, Pan Roasted Rainbow Trout. All Excellent!

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

    The duck confit and is an excellent new addition to the menu. Michelle is the best! We are going to miss her smile and witty humor so much.

    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.
