    The service was very good. The music was very good. The brunch menu is very limited and very ordinary. They did substitute the meat for me, which was very nice. Home fries were burnt in places, English muffin was black in places - just not what we expected from such a place of history and notoriety in our area.

    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 .

    After providing a credit card with a $200 hold for a 6:00 reservation I would have expected a far better meal & dining experience We were shoved into a booth at the very back of the restaurant next to a table of 8, the rest of the room was empty so we didn’t need to be seated there. I have a feeling they save the good tables for the regulars even though they say they won’t honor table requests. Food looked and tasted like it was from Perkins. Barely warm mashed potatoes and I had filet that wouldn’t cut with a serrated knife. Ruined a Woodford with a whole glass of watery ice chips. Won’t be back
