Holy shit we had the absolute worst server when we ate here last weekend. This guy didn't know the menu (ought not emphatically tell someone looking for a gin drink that your special featuring Bols Genever is going to do the trick), didn't know how to serve drinks (holding water glasses by the rim, cradling two wine goblets in one hand--classy, bro), couldn't stand still or face-forward to talk to his tables, instead addressed people while walking past or standing at an angle, seemed depressed, appeared greasy/unclean, and questioned our order ("Ya sure? Just a salad for dinner? It's just a salad..."--yes fuckwad, thanks, we know what a salad is.). At first we thought wow, this place is a lot crappier than we thought it was, but then we noticed that other servers and the bussers and runners were doing a great job, so it must have just been our idiot. The food was really good--iceberg wedge was great except that the crispy prosciutto tasted like paper (previously frozen?), jambalaya was scrumptious.
Review Source:It's a nice place. Went here after a First Communion.
We had reservations, party of 7, including two children. We had a reservation, and were seated immediately. That was good.
The Communion girl ordered the chicken fingers, she wound up sending them back because they were bland and tasteless. Ha. I love her! She wound up getting the Mac n' cheese, which she enjoyed.
The other child ordered the fish n' chips, which he enjoyed.
As for me, well, the French onion soup was a little watery and tasteless. It was disappointing. The cheesesteak was actually very good, to my surprise. The American cheese was nice and melted, the meat wasn't dried out. Good flavor. I believe it comes with green peppers and onions, I finished every last bite.
I tried a few bites of the blackened chicken sandwich. It was a tad bit dry, but not awful.
Everyone enjoyed the bread that was brought to the table. It was served with an herb butter.
The server was quick to check on refills, and to attend to any other needs. Most importantly, he was all smiles. That's a good thing.
I love the New Hope/Lambertville area. This was a nice place to visit for lunch, after celebrating an event. I wouldn't seek this place out for a casual lunch/dinner, for two.
First time visitor to Lambertville Station last night and enjoyed dinner with a group of 6. Â The food was great, but the service was exceptional. Â We couldn't decide on dessert, so we let our waiter Alan surprise us. Â We ended up with a spectacular tray with samples of all the good stuff. Â So much fun! Â My husband had the bison chili and it was a big hit. Â I had the Tapas Burger which was delicious. Â Highly recommend the LSP for the atmosphere, food and especially the service. Â We'll be back.
Review Source:Just had a very good business lunch at the Station, and since it doesn't get too crowded at lunch (especially in Winter) it's really an ideal spot for very good food, and good service. The gluten free menu is excellent & very helpful, if you are concerned about that issue. The lobster & crab salad was excellent, and very reasonable given the quality of the seafood. My companion's jambalaya was also very good, and the soups here are always excellent. Service was polite and attentive. The view outside on a cold Winter's day made a nice backdrop for lunch as well. Also, if you go in the evening, DO NOT miss the Wine Bar on the lowest level of the building. Very cozy, romantic, and excellent wines & delicious tapas. I highly recommend the Illumination Sauvignon Blanc. Probably the nicest romantic bar in the Lambertville/New Hope area.
Review Source:An update for the Wine Cellar ...
Enjoyed drinks before dinner at Hamilton's Grill Room and were not disappointed. The service in the Wine Cellar was exceptional, as always. A great place to start or finish your evening in Lambertville. It is interesting to realize that your are sitting below the level of the canal that runs along the outside of the building.
Local friends of ours recommended Lambertville Station and it didn't disappoint. We didn't need reservations; we were seated at a cozy table looking out the window with a dim light over our table to set the mood for an overall homey country like restaurant. Steven was our waiter and had some great suggestions and input on the menu items. We went with a flatbread which was excellent and beats salad. My wife and I shared both and were impressed with the combination of flavors these dishes packed.
For entrees I had the Elk cooked to Medium Rare and my wife had the short ribs. Both exceeded my expectations and I couldn't let anything go back to the kitchen so we polished everything off. After our dinner and as we were finishing up our wine, Steven told us a seat opened up downstairs next to the fireplace and thought that maybe we'd want to have a night cap down there. He read his customers brilliantly because it was exactly what we needed, even if we didn't know the option existed. We then had Alan finish us up with an after dinner drink and dessert and just chatted fire side. All in all the restaurant was great, prices were fair given the quality of food and atmosphere, and we'd certainly return if we are ever in the area again.
My husband and I had a mediocre experience here.... but it was Sunday afternoon, the place was packed, and I could tell our poor waiter was rushed and frazzled.
First, we were offered a seat outside on the street, which I don't think I'd do again. Its more of a casual setting and you can people watch, but trying to eat your lunch off of a low table in wicker furniture is a bit awkward.
We both had the turkey and brie panini, which was fantastic. Even the house chips were good. We got the hot apple cider for a beverage, and that was delicious too.
However... that one cider took forever to come, as did our food. And we never got another drink. I could see the outdoor water/coffee cart sitting there only a few feet away, but our waiter never came back to refill our beverages or offer us anything else, nor did any of the other staff. Â Our waiter did apologize profusely and thanked us for our patience when he gave us our bill.
I'm interested in giving this place another shot, or at least checking out the Sunday brunch at the Inn, which apparently has rave reviews. I have a feeling we'll have a better experience there.
Have reviewed the restaurant before ... always a good meal and always happy. Â Just a mention of the wine bar. Â They sell some of their wines by the bottle to go and the selection is excellent. Â Next time we're in town, we're going to try the tapas and experiment with some new wines.
Review Source:I think I'm giving this place credit when I say that their food is almost as good as what you would be served at Six Flags!
My fried oysters tasted like they had been frozen and dumped into a deep fat fryer. Â The breading on them was rubbery and tough and even difficult to cut. The fries were undercooked and soggy. Â
If you must eat in Lambertville, keep walking past this place!
The outdoor seating in this place is awesome! there's an old railroad track and a canal in the back with a nice garden, gives it a really nice/different vibe. The food wasn't fantastic but they sell several good beers brewed in the area. I've only had the crab cakes here and I wasn't impressed at all. But I would definitely recommend this place for a date or just a nice drink outside.
Review Source:Recent renovations - outside bar and downstairs wine lounge are both gigantic improvements for what was an outdated, overpriced relic. Â Food has seemed to improve of late as well. Â Not my favorite place in town, but if the weather is right the outside bar is a nice change of pace. Â Historical value is added for out-of-towners, but being a Lambertvillian, I'd say there's too much good food in the area to settle for the Station.
Review Source:We went here after a wedding and thought we could enjoy some cocktails together in the downstairs wine cellar area (as opposed to the upstairs bar area). Â Wrong idea. Â The bride had called ahead and asked if it was cool to bring a big group over, and the manager had said, "if there is room you can come." Â When we walked in we received a snooty comment from the host about how someone was supposed to call ahead again 10 minutes before our arrival so that they could make an area for us. There were about 12-15 of us and we were in a celebratory mood after our friend's wedding, so yes we were definitely loud compared to the volume of the other patrons (which were about 4 other couples). We sat in the cellar area, where there were a few other couples dispersed here and there. Our waitress gave us a few warnings about being too loud, explaining that we were interfering with the "ambiance." Â To me, it felt like we were being scolded by someone else's mother, and I think we may have gotten slightly louder. Most of it was just laughing and joking around, but apparently this wasn't acceptable in the cellar because we were not in line with the "ambiance" this place was trying to keep. The only thing more annoying than being scolded by someone else's mom is someone else's pomposity. After a few rounds, she abruptly brought the check and told us good night before we were finished with our drinks. So we left, and moved our celebration to the hotel, where we were free to have fun and be ourselves. :)
Review Source:This place is great! Â We ate in the pub, but the restaurant and wine cellar are also attached. Â The food was delicious. Â I had (and recommend) the Alligator Chili which you can get in a cup or bowl sized portion. Â It was very hearty and spicy. Â Then I had the Petite Black Angus Burger, which had a delicious flame broiled flavor and was topped with roasted pears and 5 year old white cheddar on it, served on a grilled ciabatta roll. Â For dessert, Key Lime Pie...this was the best key lime pie I have ever had. Â I highly recommend this place and will be eating here every time I visit Lambertville.
Review Source:The bf and I spend the night in New Hope for a little R&R. We have been a few times to New Hope, but never went to Lambertville Station. We were not disappointed. We had already had appetizers elsewhere, so we only ordered wine and a main course. I ordered their house Pinot Grogio. It's made nearby in New Jersey and it was tasty. For entree's I ordered the Shrimp and Scallop served over Lobster Rissoto and he ordered the Antelope with vegi's and mashed potatoes.
The lobster risotto was to die for. It was so buttery and the chunks of lobster were delicous.
The antelope was cooked medium rare. The first piece was really thick and tough to cut through but it was tender and went well with the mash potatoes. The second piece was thinner and much easier to navigate with a knife.
I would like to return next time and visit the Wine Cellar and try an appetizer or dessert. The ambiance was very romantic and very fitting for the occasion.
I have been here many times over the years, and it is always wonderful. Â We stopped by around 3pm on Sunday. Â My husband and my Dad each had Fish and Chips ($11 ea) - delicious because of course we all shared. Â Mom had the ($15) crabcake platter, and I had the $28 seafood appetizer for 2, as my lunch. Â OMG, it was even much better than I expected! Â Lots of lobster with avocado, lots of fresh crabmeat with remoulade sauce, and 4 very large fresh prawns with cocktail sauce. Â It was perfect.
The wait staff was very kind and took great care of us
Great spot in the summer. The outdoor seating area is fun and can be quite romantic in the evening. I took a date here a while back and we both fell in love with the place. Â
The service here was excellent. The server we had was friendly, quirky and constantly made sure we had everything we needed. Â
The food was great! Here I was able to scratch an item off my culinary bucket list. I had the unbelievable opportunity to try kangaroo. Oh my was it delicious!
Great place for both service and food!
The Wine Cellar downstairs has a beautiful ambiance and it is so relaxing by the fireplace, i've been tempted to fall asleep. Â Walking around on a cold fall evening and sitting by the fire with a glass of wine is a great comfort. The Pub is perfect too, their happy hour meant free wings(!) for us and one of their copious sized gin martinis are worth the slurred speech after. Â I convinced a stubborn friend to relocate to the area over a martini at this pub.
Review Source:Our group of four had a good dinner at the Station. Â Cheese & honey appetizer, and the best part of the meal the almond bread. Â My jambalaya was spicy, big enough portion to take home. Â Other entrees of scallops, pesto chicken, pork were all good if not amazing. Â Extensive wine list, but limited beer. Â Try local Riverhorse beer. Â We all tried different desserts, w the chocolate torte, truffle, angel food, pear tart. Â A few things were not available. Â Pricey, so I doubt we'll go for dinner soon, but maybe lunch.
Review Source:We walked in at 12:30, not really too hungry but planning on munching on a few apps over a glass of wine. Â We left at 3:15. Â ...Not on purpose. Â Needless to say, we ended up eating lunch while we were there.
Our visit was the epitome of "hey, I'm not in a rush to go anywhere or do anything." Â It's a good thing we had nowhere else to go, because everything took forever.
Service speed aside, although this place is classified as a "pub" (which it is) - they have a lower level "wine cellar" area decked out with couches, chairs, low tables, and a dimly lit inviting atmosphere that you wouldn't really expect when you first walk in.
We came in with friends from the area that knew of the cellar and we scored a set of 4 high-back comfortable chairs (think: Carter Pewterschmidt in his big red chair.) Â
Wine: Â Reisling, Malbec. Â Both were the standalone choices of their variety, but were good.
Food: Â It was small plates vs. lunch menu, and neither of them really won. Â On the lunch side, I had the Summer Chicken Salad. Â Dressing was good, and so was the chicken, as long as it had a lot of stuff with it in the same bite - otherwise a little bland. Â On the small plates side, we had the trio of bruschetta and one of the cheeses (not listed on the website menu,) it was truffle oil infused and came with honey on the side. Â Recommended. Â The toppings for the bruschetta came in cups and the bread was just...sliced. Â Not hot. Â Odd way to serve it, we wouldn't get it again.
The rest of the menu looks promising, so despite the service on this visit, we will be back to try some more.
[Lambertville Station consists of an inn, a restaurant, a pub, and a wine cellar. This review is for the wine cellar.]
It's not often that I wish I lived in the suburbs. I love Philadelphia and am very much a city girl, but this subterranean wine bar almost makes me want to switch teams.
Came here with my mom, and it was love at first sight. Stone walls and arches. Brick floor. Wine glass chandeliers. Working fireplace. Plush chairs and banquettes. Hidden nooks. Walls of wine bottles. It's all very old-world and inviting.
Wine prices are very reasonable, and many varieties are available by the half-bottle. They offer flights, which are also very reasonably priced, with many under or around $10. You get 3 wines, 2 oz. each (at least that's what the menu says; my mom, a former bartender, insists that they were much more generous with their pours. Bonus!). The flights are served in these neat wrought-iron, tree-like stands that I am (obviously) having difficulty describing, but I'm a fan. Each glass is on a different level that corresponds to its place on the little flight menu, so you can easily tell what's what. Mamma Mia got a flight of San Giovese, I went with Pinot Noir, and we were both very pleased with our selections (as well as the wine glass trees).
The food menu consists of various cheese, charcuterie and tapas selections. We tried an Irish Porter Cheddar, which was delicious, but the real star for us was the truffle honey that came with our bread. Truffle honey! Where have you been all my life?!
We had such a lovely time. I can't think of a single complaint, and I can't wait to go back. If you like wine, I think you'll like it here!
Had a very nice lunch sitting outside on a beautiful fall afternoon. Â Lunch menu had a nice selection of burgers, sandwiches, panninis. Â I opted for the turkey & brie pannini which came with a small helping of raspberry mayo. Â Not amazing, but quite good. Â They were quite busy, but we got fast and friendly service. Â Â Lambertville has so many choices, that it might be awhile before I get back, but I wouldn't hesitate.
Review Source:The Station Pub is decent. Beautiful location, great seating outside, decent food. But my four stars is going to the Wine Cellar downstairs.
One of the best bar experiences I've had in town so far. Our bartender (Norbert) was great. Attentive, polite, and makes a mean mojito. Great ambiance and friendly people were at the bar to talk to. Boyfriend had a delicious glass of wine, and we also shared a fantastic ice cream truffle for dessert. We will be back!
This restaurant came with good recommendations from some of our friends. Â My wife and I were looking for a nice restaurant for our first date night in a long time after the birth of our first child.
At the first glance, it looked promising, the building itself was unique and next to water. Â The lighting inside was just right. Â We were lead to a table that were tugged away on the second floor next to the bar with cushy chairs. Â After we sat down, that's when my opinion of this place changed.
Our waiter Jason, (Not because he told me, I saw it on his name tag) took our drink order from the next table while cleaning wine glasses and he did not recite the special of the night. Â After we received our appetizer, we had to ask him for bread that he forgot to bring to our table.
For our entrees, I ordered the pork mignon with the smokey peach glaze, my wife ordered the chilean sea bass over salad. Â My pork dish was tasty, but it was a bit dry. Â My wife's fish was under seasoned. Â
Overall, I was a little disappointed with the service and the quality of food. Â We lived about 35 minutes away, and I can say that we won't be making a return trip back to the restaurant anytime soon.
What a wonderful and romantic hideout a wine bar beneath a train station makes on a hot summer day. Â The Wine Cellar recently opened under the main pub, so walk right by the glassed-in restaurant and patio into another world, the darkened central area inside.
You will descend zig-zagging Titanic-style small staircases into a heavenly underground of cushy chairs and sofas in a space with many intimate nooks, pillows, and a fireplace. Â It is both welcoming and sophisticated. Â There is no bar here technically but rather a counter in front of a huge stash of wine bottles, where the bartender pours. Â He'll bring the wine down to you. Â No one else will be able to find you. Â No texting!
It looks expensive, but the owners have accomplished the task of creating offerings that are both adventuresome and affordable. Â The glasses start at $5, and many decent ones are $7, pretty amazing for this area that attracts New Yorkers used to Manhattan prices. Â
I love when a wine list includes "unusual" selections, because I can get pretty comfortable with my typical choices (New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc? Oh not again).  I need a nudge sometimes.  I'd love to see them add a few dry rosés however.  They have wine flights that start in the reasonable range and are quite creative.  (I always feel guilty about dirtying all those extra glasses.)  I liked the category of red Meritage blends too, since these are a favorite of mine.
The young bartender recommended a Sicilian Viognier, and we also chose an Oregon Pinot Gris. Â Can't wait to go back to see what else ends up on the menu. Â
A few things they could do would be to take the extraneous apostrophes off the menu (these just leap off the page and stab me in the eye; why can't I get over it?) and to throw down a little tapas like nuts or olives. Â
They were advertising a Lavender Luncheon, which features a visit to lavender fields and includes a lunch infused with florals, really cool for people crazy for fragrance.
A standard stop when in town.
The Station Pub and the newly opened Wine Bar (Cellar?) are often part of any stop in Lambertville. Â This says a lot as I am in town normally once or twice a month, at least. Â I know this place as a reliable standard. Â The bar is stocked and bartenders know how to make a good cocktail. Â The menu has classics as well as interesting twists. Â Sometimes the prices seem overly expensive for what you get, but I can ignore that for the atmosphere.
I love the old building and in the spring, summer, and fall when the Canal Side bar is open, it is hard to beat. Â There is a lot of history in this place. Â It is also a nice scape and place to know you can visit for quality and good service when New Hope is overwhelming. Â A definite recommend for any visit to Lambertville and if you are on the New Hope side, worthwhile for the walk across the bridge (which you should do anyway).
This place is AMAZING. What a great restaurant. We came here while visiting from out of town. Originally were gonna go to Philly for the day but with the heat wave decided to stay close by and went to New Hope for the afternoon on an adult only trip. I am so glad I got to see both these towns parked on the new hope side and got to walk across the river to this place.
It is very classy inside this place, i loved it. We were seated by the windows over looking the tracks and their garden growing by it. Very nice. We were very hungry by the time we got here. So when the coconut bread came it was quickly devoured. It was tasty, although a little to sweet for a dinner bread. Would love to have this as a coffee cake for breakfast.
The menu was amazing, so many options. Local wines are served here too. I didn't feel like having wine with my lunch so I didn't order any, now i wish i would have. I originally felt like a salad but when i saw the steak toasts with mashed potatoes i knew i had to have it.
My order- Top Sirloin Tournedos- toasted garlic bread, with the sirloin on top with Gorgonzola cheese and mashed potatoes. It was very good the steak was cooked really well. I do have to place in here that we did wait quite awhile for all of our dishes to come out from the kitchen. The waiter checked back and stated that he pushed the kitchen to make this dish so it was talking awhile longer- even though it was awhile to wait it was worth it. I just wish he would have came back to make sure we were OK with waiting before pushing the kitchen to make it.
The others in my party ordered:
1) Turkey and Brie Sandwich- this had to be sent back to the kitchen to warm the brie all the way through. But this is a forgivable mistake.
and another ordered the Chesapeake bay crab sandwich.
Next time we come back to PA to visit family we are totally going to go on a date night here for dinner. I would love to try their rack of lamb or prime rib. I think this is my fav. place that i ate at while on vacation.
I have been there couple times, please, please , if they don't bring it to you , Ask for it, coconut bread..that is to Die for!!!
I usually get crab cake sam-mich..really delectable, servers usually good. Couple of times we sat by the window, near the tracks, people watched. It all depends on where they seat you.. I have had their -wild game menu..great one , too. Usually during fall months, they'll have ostrich, alligator chili, buffalo, elk.. if you're daring , try..I have had ostrich & buffalo-both great!!!
I'm not so much into the Lambertville bar scene. Â I would much rather go across the river and hang out in New Hope. Â But I ended up hanging out in Lambertville because of the Shadfest. Â We stopped in the Station Pub at night and the experience just reaffirmed my feelings for the place.
The service is fine enough, and they actually make a fairly tasty margarita. Â But the crowd is just...... hmm. Â Not sure how to put it. Â Boring? Â And there was just an atrocious cover band playing. Â If I'm going to damage my hearing with loud music, it better be worthwhile. Â With so many options in the area, I'm not sure why anyone would bother going here for a drink.
There's already a listing for the Lambertville Station Restaurant upstairs, but "The Station Pub" deserves its own listing, because (a) it has a completely different atmosphere/persona then the white-tablecloth restaurant upstairs, and (b) the reviews made upstairs therefore cannot be applied to the Pub.
I went on a Wednesday night, and in the week I've been in L'ville, that was hands-down the best meal I had.
(1) Wednesday/Thursday nights are their $14.95 Prime Rib special. The same meal order upstairs would be $24.95. I obviously ordered the prime rib, and it was de-licious (Medium-rare as medium-rare should be)
(2) The service was outstanding. The bartender was very attentive and always made sure my beer mug AND water glasses were full (if that's what I wanted).
(3) The salad I ordered (although small in quantity - again, same kitchen as the "classier" restaurant upstairs) was very tasty.
I don't think I would ever go to The Lambertville Station Restaurant on the groud floor... but you'll definitely see me underground at The Station Pub again... especially on Wed/Thur Nights.
