“I'm not entirely sure how to pronounce the name of this place, but I can tell you it's pretty good regardless. I came here with two of my OG chums this past Saturday for an early dinner (a little before 5 I think), on a deceptively nippy night. We made a very last-minute reservation (as in we were down the street walking over when we did it) but were easily able to secure seating. The restaurant was pretty bustling throughout our meal so if you have the ability to make a reservation more than two minutes beforehand, I would do it. This is a popular one right now.

I've driven by this building countless times but I think this is the first time I've been inside it (it's relatively new so it's possible I was in whatever business was here before years ago). It has a pleasant interior; kind of rustic but also some obvious homages to France on the walls, etc. - what else would you expect in a town literally called Frenchtown?

We split the brie en croute app, which I liked a lot. My only quibble is that I would have made the berry coulis denser to compete with the brie a bit better, but overall it was a refreshing way to start the meal. I didn't build up quite the appetite I was hoping for from metal detecting in the afternoon (which is one of the many negative consequences of a drought), so I went a little lighter than usual on the entree with the almond-crusted cod. It was tasty but presentation-wise? Eh. It's not really a fish you can "crust," if that makes sense, so the optics are a bit chaotic. It's more like a pile on your plate, which you can see in the attached photo. I did like the fact that the lemon sauce was on the subtle side - the citrus family is not one of my faves and it's often an accompaniment with seafood dishes, so I was pleased it wasn't the dominant flavor. Super flaky and loved the texture of the rice.

The service was excellent. Not only did we not have to wait particularly long for our items to arrive, but our waiter was very friendly and nice. I was accidentally under-dressed for the weather so I ordered a hot chamomile tea (very rare for me), and one of my chums also asked the waiter to pick a tea for her. I have a chum who used to work in the service industry who told me to never order hot tea from a restaurant because it's incredibly annoying for them to prep, but my argument would be that if it's on the menu, all bets are off. Regardless, I think in this day and age it's relatively easy to make - we watched the guy literally just use a hot water dispenser and put the tea bag in. Was definitely the right choice on this particular evening. Anyway. He was also knowledgeable about the menu and had specific opinions about certain dishes; one of my friends ordered the salmon entree and he immediately commented that it was his favorite.

We're always interested as born and bred creatures of the Kingdom of Hunterdon what the overall clientele in a restaurant looks like. In a tourist trap like Frenchtown, it's not unusual to go into an eatery that's full of out-of-towners squealing about the Delaware River or something. This was a very nice mix of both tourists and locals, which can definitely be a difficult balancing act. Given the bougie options on the menu, I thought this was priced competitively to allow for some of the nearby residents who might not be sporting boat shoes and polo shirts to wander in to sample the wares as well.

Wasn't blown away but overall this was very solid.“

“Our granddaughter wanted Applebee’s for dinner, and when she’s with us, she always gets what she wants. I haven’t eaten at Applebee’s in probably over 10 years, and I have to say—I was pleasantly surprised. The food was very good, and our server was kind and friendly.

That said, there were a few small misses in terms of dining etiquette that kept the experience from being excellent. With just a little more attention to detail, the service could have really gone to the next level.

I realize Applebee’s isn’t a five-star restaurant, and what the server lacked in polish she definitely made up for with her personality. Still, to give an example: we ordered dessert and coffee. The coffee arrived without a spoon to stir in cream and sugar. When we asked for one, we didn’t receive it until the dessert was brought out. I ended up using a knife to stir in the meantime.

These are minor details, of course, but they’re the kind of small touches that can really elevate the guest experience.“

“We come from New York City just for a jakey and a crab sandwich. My dad told us to stop and try the food. I was hesitating eating in a gestation. Omg this is far beyond that! It was amazing. I have cravings for their food. Anyone we know that will be passing it on their travels we urge to stop there. It’s our favorite little place. The staff is also really friendly. I like that I can see the kitchen also. Awesome spot!“

“Tried it tonight for the first time and it was amazing. Food was top notch. Causal food with upscale flair without being stuffy. If that makes sense. Overall would highly recommend this place.“

“Seems like it could be a fun spot. Had a personal pizza, pretty good!
Got there just as the music stopped..6 pm?
There was a dude doing one handed wheelies on his Harley......pretty impressive (but the owner/bartender didn't like it for obvious reasons).“

“Just returned from a rainy day field trip with 12 students and 3 staff. Weren’t able to enjoy the golf course because of the rain but Mountain View graciously took care of us by giving the students an extra pass and coupon for their families!

“Walked and hungry from a long day, from Boston and back today. I’ve been craving chicken teriyaki, and today Michele Took my order, and asked Stephanie, the incredible cook, to make my chicken teriyaki exactly as I asked! It is the best I’ve ever had at any TA in America! I asked for less rice and add extra mushrooms, and void. Did she! It was perfect for me. I told my servers, how well I was enjoying my meal, and she asked the cook, Stephanie, to come out, so I can tell her myself. I want to make sure I reiterated, what a great job she’s doing. I told her I could tell that she’s putting her heart and soul into cooking here! She said yes, she really was, and she loves it. I also told her I have been a cook myself, also server, and also managed to restaurant before. I appreciate good help and service when I see it! Thanks again, everyone! I’ll be back!“

“We went to local shopping area and ate at this longhorn for the first time. The wild west shrimp was amazing had to ask for ranch my daughters food came out with the app. I got a side Ceasar salad my mom noticed we haven't got our salads after 30mins of ordering. The sever brought out salad and the 6top next to us got their food well before we did and we sat down before them. My mom was annoyed I called it our server pocket the check after telling us the kitchen was backed up, I get it. My mom expressed again she was not happy and a manager came over and treated us very well for the inconvenience 10% off the bill and lava cake we took home. Lava cake didn't have ice cream on the side. As a person who worked at longhorn for a bit I was happy the steak and fries weren't overly seasoned the restaurant itself was a decent size compared to others overall I would go again the small mistaken didn't take away for the overall greatness of the food!“

“Fantastic food! You must try the Sriracha Bowl! Always delicious and always great service in both locations!“

“As a wedding and event planner I'm always looking for a unique and beautiful venues. Durham Springs checked all my boxes and more! Owners, Dan and Ian, have taken this dated property and transformed it into my absolute go-to for events, especially weddings. The grounds are lovely with ponds, swaying grasses and rolling hills. I absolutely love the flexibility of the ballroom. Beautiful views, flexible lighting, high ceilings, tons of natural light, neutral floors, walls and chairs make decor a joy. You can create any vibe you want in this space with ease. Dan was lovely to work with and exceedingly patient in providing many changes in floorpan due to the never ending Covid issues. He was also genuinely excited for my bride and groom and took joy in seeing their vision come to light. Many other venues are quick to tell you all the things you cannot do. Dan made sure that our requests came to life, and then some! His creativity was much appreciated. The food was delicious and served in a lovely, imaginative manner. William, staff captain, kept the wait staff running efficiently throughout the evening and Melissa, Durham's on-site event coordinator was responsive throughout, taking special care of several specific needs that we had for the day. Needless to say, my bride and groom were thrilled with choosing Durham Springs for their VERY SPECIAL day!“

“Great wings, great staff! Just an all around nice, casual place. Will definitely return.“
