4 Best Day Trips from Philadelphia | Condé Nast Traveler

"The restaurant at the Ghost Light Inn draws a culinary crowd for Jose Garces' inventive small plates. You could make a meal out of the first course selections alone. Burrata, spaghetti pie, even the simple sounding dishes like charcoal roasted baby carrot salad are knockouts. Tempted as you may be to slather another piece of bread with that housemade white bean and artichoke spread, don't. You'd be doing yourself a disservice by missing out on dishes such as Berks County Peking duck with farro and corn risotto." - Nancy DePalma

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!

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!

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

Very high end. Excellent food and service. Beautiful interior and exterior views. Especially at night. I'm not a fan of charging for parking though. Really good food. We ate at a wedding function buffet. All appitizers were delicious. Bar service was great.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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 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!

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.

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!

This is a gorgeous spot right in the heart of New Hope. I went with my family of 6 and it was a really nice meal. My partner and kids and the grandparents loved the fireplace in the winter and the views of the Schuylkill River through the front windows. My partner and I came here previously in the summer and enjoyed some outdoor balcony cocktails before seeing a show at the Bucks County Playhouse (though he doesn't remember it at all!). What's so nice about this location is that if you have kids, you can take them outside to see the ducks in the river while your food is being prepared. There is a "quack shack" where you can purchase a bag of duck food for $3 (cash only). I went out with the kids who loved this. And when we came back the food was just getting served. Our meals were very good. My partner had the Eggs Benedict, the kids got the BLT with fries and the lemon ricotta pancakes, while my in-laws got a cheeseburger. I went with the avocado toast. Of all the dishes, the avocado toast was my least favorite but I lived in California for 15 years where they have perfected that dish. As I said to my family, some food is just better on the opposite coasts like pizza and bagels in NYC! Or pierogies, cheesesteaks and soft prezels in Pennsylvania. This is a nice spot. We'll return!

Stella is a beautiful and scenic restaurant. It sits atop the Delaware river in downtown New Hope. The main restaurant is on the second floor. Beautiful and high up views of the river. The drinks were delicious. Pretty pricey but delicious. I believe the featured drinks were $16-$17 per drink. The food was quite good. I ordered the tuna lunch dish and my wife had the shrimp tostado. She said hers was delicious and mine was quite good. $20 for mine, $22 for her. The wait staff was wonderful. We were with our 14 month old and they were engaging, quick and very attentive. Will certainly be back.

NEW HOPE, PA: whenever we visit an unfamiliar area, we always talk to locals about what they love, and we receive fantastic recommendations 100% of the time. The streak stays at 100% with a fabulous referral for Stella New Hope, a restaurant right along the Delaware River with an emphasis on local ingredients. Dog friendly dining can be found on the second level outdoor deck and the ground floor outdoor bar, and this place is a must-visit to enjoy the sweeping views of the river overlooking New Jersey and elevated American cuisine and drinks. We indulged in some hand-crafted cocktails and dug the happening atmosphere amongst theatre goers, wedding guests, and visitors just happy to be enjoying a beautiful day! We have to go back and experience a meal, and Brie is looking forward to choosing something from their Pup Menu which offers ground beef, chicken, and salmon as options. All proceeds from the Pup Menu are donated to Animal Alliance of NJ! You can also find their Adoptable Dog of the Month on their website along with their current operating hours. Dogs are close to the owners of Stella's heart as the restaurant is named after their pup, Stella! Connected to Stella is the Ghost Light Inn, a dog friendly boutique hotel that is immaculately maintained. We chatted with Raz at the front desk who was so friendly and happy to talk to us about the room options and his wonderful travels all over the world. The sister hotel, Carriage House of New Hope is also dog friendly! Consider them for your next trip.

Stella is one of our go-to restaurants and bars. We've always sat at the bar for drinks and apps because the view of the river is breathtaking and the atmostphere is what we prefer over sitting at a table. The bartenders, Janna and Blake, know their craft. They also engage the customers in conversation, but don't command attention. Stella's oysters can't be passed up. Order them with a glass of bubbly. You won't be disappointed.

We had an amazing brunch at Stella for my birthday! The restaurant was beautiful both insight and on the outdoor covered patio overlooking the river - it was extremely comfortable with all of the fans and the breeze from the river! Service was excellent as well. We all loved our meals - we started with oysters, and I really enjoyed my crabcake sandwich! High recommend the Parmesan truffle fries as well. Hubs had the southern breakfast, Dad had the Bucks Co. breakfast and both portions were massive! Mom had the shrimp and crab tostada and liked it as well. Drinks were delicious - I loved my Peach Pit cocktail and even my hubs' mocktail was delicious. The candy bacon in the Bloody Mary was a must! Best of all, they offer the option of a cake for special occasions - there are choices of flavors and sizes, and they brought it out with candles. So sweet and convenient! The cake itself was delicious as well. I cannot wait to go back and try the other seasonal items and menus!

We had the pleasure of dining at Stella for dinner on the 4th of July and a pleasure it was indeed! This waterfront restaurant is elegant and inviting with just the right blend of modern opulence and rivertown charm. We were seated on a beautiful outdoor deck overlooking the expanse of the Delaware river which was highlighted with lights and decor for the holiday celebration. The diverse patronage including couples, families, friends and individual diners exemplifies that Stella offers a great time to all. We began with a fruity and medium bodied Sangiovese Blend, Badia al Colle Chiante. This Tuscan red offered tart cherry notes with a smooth, rich and almost smoky finish. It was perfect for a warm summer night. Our meal began with the Wild Mushroom Dumplings and we were absolutely wowed by the elegant and artistic presentation. Then we tasted..and all that can be said about this unique and beautiful dish is.., AWESOME!! The balance of flavors and textures among the liscious and earthy porcini puree, herb emulsion and bright and tart pickled cauliflower was nothing short of genius. Off to an amazing start, we selected the Jail Island Salmon and Iberico Pork Collar for our entrees. The perfectly cooked salmon was accompanied by a delectably creamy lemon farro, crisp asparagus, tomatoes, crispy mushrooms and the most luscious corn veloute! The entire plate was a symphony with one note better than the next! The Iberico Pork Collar was cooked to perfection, juicy and tender with just the right spice level to let the meat shine. It came accompanied by flavor-packed collard greens made with pork belly, and cheddar grits topped by a silky red wine bordelaise. It was delightfully devoured! As full as we were after that spectacular dinner, we could not pass up the Honey Cheesecake Mousse for dessert. We shared this beautiful confection that was a surprisingly light twist on traditional cheesecake. There were 3 generous portions of the light honey cheesecake mousse drizzles of earl grey honey and a perfect sliver of candied lemon adorned each. It was worth every calorie!! If you find yourself in the New Hope, PA area, all I can say is RUN, dont walk, to Stella!! It is a culinary gem that should not be missed!!

My husband and I were able to enjoy Stella on a beautiful, warm Saturday afternoon. We brought our dogs and requested a table outside. We were told there was about a 45 minute wait, but we were fortunately seated within 20 minutes. The outside patio has a great view of the river and the atmosphere is really nice. My husband and I both really enjoyed our meals, but the service was strangely slow. It took about 15 minutes to get our initial round of drinks, an espresso martini and a Coke. Refills were very slow, as well. Although I really enjoyed the food, the slow service was a bit frustrating. I will definitely come back to give it another chance, and I hope the service has improved.

Dinner was overall very enjoyable, with a few standout elements and a couple of minor letdowns. The original bread board (back when Stella opened), which used to be a highlight, is now just good--the spreads carry it, while the bread itself is fairly average. The truffle pasta was light and lemony, but notably lacked the truffle flavor promised on the menu. It also didn't include baby cauliflower or much mushroom as described, though it did have leeks. The roasted chicken was flavorful and well-prepared, though the mention of chili crisp oil in the description was misleading, as it didn't feature prominently in the dish. The wild mushroom dumplings leaned more toward ravioli in form, but were excellent regardless of the name. The oysters were very good--fresh and loved the delicious granita. You really can't go wrong with the food and drinks here, and the breathtaking view elevates the whole experience. Our waitress was fabulous and made the dinner experience rememberable.

Food was amazing - everything was seasoned perfectly. Highlight was the gnocchi-- we are still thinking about that dish. Also our appetizer, the burrada with fruit was just delicious and even my mocktail was so unique.

What a lovely experience! Friendly server who asked about any dietary restrictions or allergies for the table. Brought us complimentary cava since it was our wedding anniversary. Was there for brunch, sat outside on the lovely covered porch and enjoyed everything. Note that they do have gluten free bread available even though it's not listed on the menu.

We ate here upon the recommendation of an acquaintance. It's a very nice looking restaurant, right on the river and has a lovely view of the river through the windows. Many people eat here prior to going to a show at the playhouse. It also has outdoor patio seating along the river. We sat in the dining area near the bar. We had actually booked two tables of four and had two people that couldn't make it and so they kindly accommodated all six of us at one table. My friend and I started at the bar with cocktails and it was kind of pricey to get two drinks (cava & Sauvignon Blanc 9 oz pour) and pay $52 with a 20% tip! My favorite part of the meal was the gnocchi, the sauce was exquisite in flavor & it was a large serving. I had also ordered eight of the oysters, but I was disappointed in the oysters. They really had no flavor and were very, very tiny. My friend got the chicken dish and she enjoyed that, other people had ordered the mushroom dumplings, but they were not as impressed with those and of course you only got four for a hefty price tag. I didn't try the breads or dips, but the rest of the group enjoyed them. The Brussels sprouts looked good, crispy & charred. I don't usually drop $125 on just myself at dinner, but that was my tab (one glass of cava, 8 oysters & gnocchi). Valet parking is $30 too which is crazy. Anyway, the food is decent, but quite pricey.

American food @ New Hope, PA We celebrated our anniversary dinner Friday at 5pm. The restaurant wasn't too busy but filled up around 6:30pm. There were about five windows seats but it became dark so fast, we could not see much. Our server explained about the We started with yard brewing pale ale draft beer which my husband liked and I had Stoneleigh Sauvignon blanc. We shared hamachi kama which had too much soy sauce, it needed more citrus flavor. My diver scallops were cooked just right but there were only 4 pieces if scallop but a lots of potato hash for $41. The pan seared dorade (meditteranean sea bass) was cooked crispy outside with butternut squash and beets which were quite sweet. We shared cheese cake mousse was lighter than cheese cake but I preferred taste of regular cheese cake. The service was exceptional!

I had been looking forward to Stella for ages, taking a very special occasion to get us there. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. We were greeted by a hostess who seemed disengaged. We requested outside and were sat at the edge rail despite open tables in the center. Within minutes, multiple spiders dropped down on my lovely guest. The aloof server admitted it's a known issue, yet only then (with some assertion) were we moved to the center where tables had been available all along. The food looked beautiful, but the timing was off. Appetizers arrived just as we asked to move, and entrées (including the duck I'd dreamed about) sat cooling (nothing like room temperature duck breast) while my guest excused herself, shaken by the spider incident. The space and menu have so much promise, but the lack of care and attention made this one of the most disappointing dining nights I can recall. I hope management takes this feedback seriously, because with small improvements and care I think Stella could shine.

My husband and I have eaten here twice, usually for a special occasion. The restaurant is beautiful and has lovely views. Valet parking is a nice bonus, especially during the busier times. I love their cocktails and other drinks on the menu, and they have a good selection of vegetarian, friendly items on the menu. Service is great, and I enjoyed the modern and cozy vibes inside the restaurant. Definitely will return for another special occasion. Be sure to make a reservation.

I attended a wedding there. The staff were not very friendly and the food was terrible. I'm sure the affair was not worth the charge. There was valet service that charged 30.00. I would think the service w be part of the wedding package.

If you are looking for drinks with a view, this has to be your spot to try. Hubby and I came here on a Friday in the summer, and although cocktails were underwhelming, the view made up for it. We were able to sit on the patio or go down to the lawn area to sit on the chairs. We did not have food, and the service was good at the bar. But I thought it was random that they closed off the stairs to the restaurant in the middle of the afternoon. We had no idea and had to ask the hotel to use the restroom and walk all around the building, it was very awkward. A note for the future. Overall, we would absolutely return and try out some of the food.

Had a great meal. Went on a Friday night and didn't have a reservation but the bar was open which was the best seat in the house! Amazing views. The bartender was incredible and such a good time.

I have to say you walk in and the ambiance is incredible. We sat outside looking over the river. The waiter was very helpful. We had went for Brunch and you will see my dish but the hit of the table as my Aunt & cousin order Bloody Mary and what came with it was the hit CANDY COATED BACON!! You can add for your meal but would be additional but THANK ME LATER on that one. They said the Bloody Mary were on point as the way they liked it. The seasonal cornbread too was a hit. Must do and they are Pet Friendly as there was 3 well behaved dogs on the deck with us from other customers.

This is one of our favorite date spots. We've been coming once or twice a year since they've been open. Can't beat the atmosphere. Appetizers are always delicious and brunch is wonderful and more laid back than dinner. Our last visit we ordered the prime ribeye ($70!) and it was a miss. It was gristly and just lacking in flavor for the price. So why the 5 star review? We didn't even complain about the steak, our server could just tell we weren't enjoying it (we raved about the cheese board and apps). She sent the manager over and offered to have something else made for us, but at this point we were full anyway so she comped us a round of drinks and a dessert. We later enjoyed some fireworks with a delicious drink (bartenders are also top tier!) from the deck.

Exceptional dining experience. The food, the service, the atmosphere, all spectacular. We did not have reservations but were seated promptly at a great river view table with fantastic service.

Probably the 4th or 5th time here (brunch) but first time for dinner. Did not know what to expect for dinner but we were pleasantly surprised! The family went to Stella's to celebrate a birthday. There were 5 of us total and we each had an appetizer, entree and drinks. All courses of the dinner were enjoyed by the full party without exception, which can be pretty rare in this family! The building itself is pretty cool in appearence, we took a flight upstairs upon entering to the reception area where we were warmly welcomed. Our table took about 5 - 10 minutes to acquire, we did not get a window seat as requested but we were a table away. All drinks were great (on the pricey side), the appetizers were all very good and the entrees wer enjoyed by all. A very successful night indeed, only hitch was parking at about 5 blocks away.

At the risk of making it impossible to get in at Stella, let me say that there is no better restaurant right now in Bucks County, possibly the entire Philadelphia metro region. The food and serve here are stellar, the menu is stunning and the food is extraordinary. I have been here twice in the last month and each time was 10 out of 10. Tonight we shared the mushroom dumplings and they were like crack - I only wished there were more of them. I had the roasted chicken for dinner and the entire thing was mind blowingly incredible - I ate too much - no doggie bag for me tonight, nor for my dining companion. Then the chocolate ganache for dessert - that I took in a doggie bag because I couldn't leave the few bites left behind. I'm not very easy to impress with food - this place is about as good as it gets in a 50 mile radius. Well done, Stella!

Was invited to a Bridal Shower on a Sunday afternoon. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful with such a scenic view of the water. Everything from the butler hors d"oeuvres to the dessert were absolutely delicious. I couldnt believe the size of the salad (first course). It was enough for 2 people. The entrees were out of this world. I opted for tbe Dorada fish and asparagus. I swear it was the best meal I ever had! I can't say enough good things about Stella!!!

This place is fantastic. We stayed in Lambertville for my girlfriend's birthday and came here after a bit of research and a recommendation from the host of our B&B. Sure, the views from the restaurant are great but it's much more than that. The drinks, food, and service are all top notch here. We started with the old fashioned which came highly recommended and it truly was one of the best I've had. As for the appetizers, we started with their house bread and spreads and gnochhi. Again, two for two. The gnocchi was also some of the best I've had - not at all doughy and almost light (I didn't know that was possible). For my main, I had the Pekin duck which was super tender and cooked just right. We rounded out the meal with their sundae w/brownie, ice cream, and salted caramel - the perfect ending to a stellar meal. I also want to give a shout out to the wait staff. We arrived a little early, yet were still seated right away. Our server checked up on us regularly, was quick to take our order, and even brought out a scoop of complimentary ice cream w/a lit candle after I mentioned we were celebrating a birthday. Good service these days is a rare thing and great service is even more rare. Thank you for making our night extra special. If you are looking for a great meal AND experience in New Hope/Lambertville, look no further. This IS your place.

This place is huge with a ton of seating inside and out. The outside options have a great view of the river. They also do valet parking in case you're not looking to do that. Original cocktails were good and they have a full bar for anything else you might want. For brunch the cinnamon rolls are a must. They are delicious! Eggs Benedict was ok. The sauce tasted good but the temperature was verging on cold which was not appealing for an egg dish. Service was top notch and we will be heading back to try more food and drinks.

Before I give a general review... most importantly- you must have the Brussel sprouts from the brunch menu. They are insanely amazing. I literally licked the plate (yes embarrassing but I don't care!). I may drive down from NYC just to have them again!!! Everything was delicious. Service was good. Beautiful views. No complaints.

I had been wanting to try this restaurant for awhile and had finally made reservations for brunch! I would definitely recommend making reservations as the dining area is not large and there is only a small bar. The menu is pretty small but has a decent selection. I got the bbq brisket eggs Benedict. The egg was cooked really well as was the brisket but the combo fell a little bit flat. The brisket was too saucy too be paired with a poached egg. Maybe a dry rubbed meat would have worked better or something with more integrity. I also got a cocktail and the drink, although good, was not worth the cost considering it was more money than my plate of food. Overall the experience was good, I liked the ambiance and our waitress was nice but I think I'd probably have to choose a different menu option.

This beautiful spot is right on the water in a stunning building. As we had my friend's dog, we were seated on a beautiful deck with heat lamps and blankets. With both human and dog menus, we had a hard time picking but started with delicious cinnamon rolls while we decided. I had the eggs Benedict, my friend had the Blt, and our furry friend scarfed down his ground beef entree. The food was delicious and fresh as all the ingredients are local to the area. Our service was amazing - everyone was friendly and welcoming. Our waitress was one of the nicest people ever and was really kind to the doggie and us humans! Can't wait to come back!

So I booked this place like 6 weeks out for a birthday brunch, and there was only 1 time slot left! They are BOOKED AND BUSY. And for good reason. Tania was our fabulous server for the brunch, making us feel right at home. To start, the bread basket is a must. For a group of 6, you really need two orders because it's small. There are 6 items in the basket, but some were like mini muffins and such that we were splitting up amongst us and smearing with the decadent butter and jam. My Dad ordered the heirloom carrots as an appetizer and enjoyed them. Everyone was very satisfied with their entree selection. Our group ordered the salmon platter, fish and chips, huevos rancheros, and the petite filet to name a few yummy options. I got the rock shrimp and crab sandwich, a pricier choice that I don't think is altogether worth it. It has a nice crunch to the outside for sure, but I don't think I would get it again personally. It was just okay to me. My brother however ordered the shrimp and grits, with a side biscuit and I really felt like that dish was the star of the show. I'm a southern food lover though, and these grits were a creamy decadence not often found this far north. I would definitely order it next time! Surprisingly, the desserts underwhelmed us. The white chocolate mousse kind of just tasted like lukewarm cream cheese. The sundae included dry brownies but decent ice cream. The coffee made up for it, and the drinks were all made perfectly! Overall, this place is just pure CLASS, and even on a rainy day, the view of the river can't be beat. The special details of the furnishings, lighting, and even the exquisite restroom shows how much detail was put into this establishment. We all loved the ambiance, and can't wait to dine here again.

First class - absolutely stunning location and area overlooking the Delaware River. This place is dog friendly and even serves a dog food menu where proceeds go to the Animal Alliance of NJ. If in New Hope, PA - this is a must go to place for any food outing.

Returned for dinner; disappointing. $30 to park. Ridiculous! Donation or not, let's call it what it is, ridiculous! Took quick poll of friends who live in hot spots (Boston, Dallas, Chicago, & The Hamptons) & asked, "what's the most u ever paid for vallet parking?" When revealed I paid this as a restaurant patron (not all day parking at theme park) they all lost their minds! Was looking forward to Sphagetti Pie appetizer, twas tiny & cold- a letdown. Way smaller compared to pictures from year's past. (It's pasta, not exactly a high plate cost). Wanted to appreciate the ingenuity of the dish, but it was gone in 3 bites & the temp made it feel less gourmet and more like pasta left behind in a strainer overnight. Bread basket was nice medley of rustic bread, focaccia, corn bread. But who wants the standout of a meal to be the bread? Berks County Pekin Duck, was expertly prepared, but also served near cold. None of the meal had the taste or texture of freshly curated plates. When you're charging high end price, you have to bring the high-end game! It was my 50th birthday. Stella let me down. One thing carried over. The ice cream; unforgettable taste & texture.

Was here to play music for a wedding, and the happy couple bought the band dinner before the event...very impressed! Innovative but generous menu, good cocktails, staff was friendly and very professional. Had a delicious sous vide duck breast with couscous, sweet potato puree and gastric. Beautiful outdoor deck and views overlooking the river. Not cheap but good place for a romantic dinner or special occasion. Parking is a little crazy in New Hope, but worth it!

This is our go to spot in the area for all special occasions but now we go just to go because it's so good! We have been for brunch and dinner and the drinks are always great and the food is so delicious! The bread is a must to share. We also will usually share a bunch of apps and then get a few mains. Scallops were delicious recently. For brunch the avocado toast was great and lemon pancakes were so good! Service is always great here. This is def our favorite spot.

This is a very nice restaurant if one is looking for a more formal-type experience. The riverside setting is pleasant, and the decorating is sleek. The gnocchi appetizer was excellent, as was the salmon. One leaves feel fulfilled and pleased.

My husband and I came here last night to celebrate our 25th anniversary. I cannot say enough good things about this place. First, the atmosphere is absolutely gorgeous. We sat outside and it overlooks the Delaware river and has a big stone wood burning fireplace that is amazing. The service was outstanding. Jessica was our waitress and gave excellent recommendations and also brought out two glasses of complementary champagne for us to celebrate. The food was unbelievable. I had the divers scallops which were delicious and my husband had the waitress' recommendation of dorade which might be the best fish I ever had. The craft cocktails are creative and delicious. I had the orchid beach and my husband had the liars handshake. Both amazing. I had the I highly recommend this place

Came here for a brunch a couple of days ago. This is such a pretty restaurant with great food. The staff was also accommodating and kind to one person in our party who uses a wheelchair. We had the bread basket with delicious pumpkin bread to start. I had the frittata pictured below, and it was amazing! Also got lots of dessert and they were all amazing.

This one has been on my list for awhile and it lived up to its expectation in ambiance and quality of food! Came here for mom's recent birthday seated on the first floor which had a live band and gorgeous view overlooking the Delaware river. Spaghetti Pie Appetizer - Unique AF meaning I had to try it. Basically a circle of pasta with light flavorful sauce in the middle surrounded by many spices you can dip your spoonful of pasta pie in. I would recommend but if I came here again prob skip it and try another appetizer as once was enough for me. Duck - Served Medium-Rare and by god man this duck was better than many French restaurants duck entrees' that I have ordered. Also, it is served with a Farro Risotto which is extremely good. I was full but felt compelled to try and finish it and when I couldn't I politely handed my dish to my dad and said look someone needs to finish this which he obliged with the request. Chicken - Server made this sound like it was the second coming of Christ with how the butter was cooked inside the skin or something of the such. My girlfriend ordered this and took the skin off which is what I do with my chicken as well and although it was good I would not recommend ordering this out unless you are really in the mood for a chicken dish. Day Boat Scallops - Three Scallops in a curried califlower sauce aligned with a surplus of lentils. I would recommend the restaurant rework this Scallop dish without any type of curry sauce as it overtook the dish and diminished the excellence of the large day boat scallops. Also, Beluga lentils? Hard to get excited over lentils in my book, even if they are from Beluga. Cocktails - Interesting drink choices albeit not many. I went with the cocktail entitled, " Wise Investment" - vodka, raspberry, pistachio, lemon, and egg white. The cocktail was good however if I had a return visit here I would try one of their other cocktail options. Brioche Bread Pudding -roasted bananas, vanilla bean custard, coconut caramel, pecan praline. We finished this dessert in record and I mean record time. We had a play to catch at the bucks county playhouse in less than five minutes but I do not attribute that entirety to how fast we engulfed this item. When I evaluate desserts I always ask myself is it worth the calories and this one definitely is if you are a fan of Banana flavored desserts. All in all was very happy with the overall meal and recommend this restaurant as one of the top choices in the New Hope Area. As always people until next review SYOY!!!

The view is great and service was quick and cheerful. The food, unfortunately, is mediocre at best. I had a crab cake sandwich that tasted like mush. There was not even the hint of taste of crab in it. My friend's salad with salmon looked decent. There was a generous helping of salmon. Parking is a huge problem on a weekend, but that's to be expected in New Hope. You can pay $30 for valet parking (but be prepared to wait 30 minutes to retrieve your car) or park in NJ as I did and walk across the bridge.

The setting is beautiful with a view of the river. The food was okay. The scallops were good, however, there were only four for $42. The fish was good, however, there was too much sauce. We enjoyed the experience, but will probably not be back.

Pretentiousness for the "Nouveau riche" Ambiance and river view with Yippie menu serves to mask overpriced poor quality confections. My wife ordered the bass in what clearly pretends to be a five star restaurant. She received not only not the whole fish but a deli slice 3 inches long and 5 mm thick. She sent it back Three of my party of six, my wife one of the three swapped their order for the bar menu opting for a hamburger. None of the three people finish their burger. Yippee tag words like "Wagyu beef" draw one in only to be discovered to be smothered rather than accented with garnishing. coffee martini tasted like syrup. The duck while nicely prepared and presented Was overly salty. In short, it gave the feel of first year chef school chefs trying to gain the eye of their professor by feigned cleverness rather than focus on their limited skill set. Wagu burgers should not be smothered in McDonald's secret sauce.

We were out celebrating our 8th year of marriage and based off other reviews I chose Stella. The view is incredible, from the bright windows to the outside deck and the walk below. Definitely worth just for the view alone/ambiance. Beautiful fireplace and decor. The staff were very nice and attentive. I told them it was our anniversary when I booked online and we were greeted with a Happy Anniversary and a table by the window and 2 complimentary glasses of champagne. Wonderful service. The food and drinks were great! My only harp would be the parking, the parking lot is small and to enforce a $20 valet charge (with no other option unless parking outside the parking lot) for a restaurant that's already pricey just felt wrong. If we're just walking around New Hope and using their parking lot, sure a charge is expected but to be a patron at their restaurant $20 is alot, most offer free valet and then you tip well. But aside from that, we will definitely be back in the summer to try other food and see that view again. Definitely recommend!
