Bell's Mansion is a top-notch spot for a fun dining experience! As one reviewer puts it, it's a 'beautifully restored Victorian with ample space, creative menu and friendly service'. The atmosphere is described as 'fantastic' and the 'great food and service' make it a go-to place for celebrations. Plus, the charming garden with over 200 grape vines and 80 fruit bearing trees is a treat!

PLEASE BE ADVISED OF ROAD CONSTRUCTION AND TRAFFIC IN THE AREA, PLEASE PLAN YOUR ROUTE ACCORDINGLY"Great food, comfortable drink" is the mission, but at Alice’s, it's about much more than that. With a broad deck that overlooks the main stretch of Lake Hopatcong, fresh produce from nearby Halsey Island, and a naturally simple (but rustic) decor, Alice's is a place that celebrates lake living and good company.Lake Hopatcong resident Alice Szigethy opened Alice's in June 2009 to expand the selection of lake destinations. In this reinvention of a building that had been a series of eateries over several decades, the space features vaulted ceilings, reclaimed-barn-wood walls, comfy booths, and a full bar that extends from the airy interior to the breezy deck. A mahogany seating bar runs the length of the deck so guests can sit and enjoy a clear panorama of the water, and an austere metal awning gives outdoor diners a shady place to enjoy the view, the breeze-and, of course, the food.

While pizza and pasta are just the tip of the Italian iceberg, there is a reason these two culinary staples are the most beloved exports from Italy. Enjoy our seasonal selection just steps away from where our expert pasta chefs and dough-slinging pizzaioli (pizza makers) create dishes before your eyes.

The Mansion is absolutely amazing!!! It is so quaint. The food was delicious and presented itself beautifully. The wait staff was so attentive. We didn’t take part but at the end of the meal we were offered a dessert after dinner drink for Valentine’s Day, which is so very classy. We will definitely be back.

Thye corner bistro is warm and freindly. Oscar comes over to greet us at the door and treats us like family. We will continue to go there, the food is delicious and the waiters are great.
