50 Best American Restaurants near East Amwell

“I had my boyfriend’s surprise birthday party here and it was fantastic! The food and staff were both impressive!“

“What I find amazing about this place is that they consider themselves a restaurant…they should cal themselves an overpriced laxative depository. Before you order be sure you live nearby. The price is so high but the food runs right through you. Not to mention the staff are rude and unwelcoming.“

“The atmosphere is calm & charming Absolutely delicious food A pleasant surprise“

“Booked for NYE and had never been before. It was outstanding from start to finish. Menu options were great and all the selections we ordered were beyond our expectations, simply fantastic. Our server was friendly, welcoming and only added to an incredible dining experience.“

“I recently walked into under the moon, just to have a drink. After that encounter I decided to have dinner. The food was incredible and the staff was amazing. I will definitely be back“

“The staff are all kind, helpful, accommodating, and genuinely there to make your evening perfect. Chris the hostess was wonderful, as well as the many servers who all willingly supported Gary, the owner, to provide the best service and culinary experience possible for his dinner guests. The menu is one of the best we have seen in the area with many international dishes, some with the labor intensive Indian nuances, and others just with downright phenomenal flavors. Although they have lots of standard fare for the UNadventurous eater, I would suggest you reach past your comfort zone and try some of the appetizers that jump out as potential winners...like the tuna tartare that with just a splash of Japanese Rice wine vinegar would be one of the best I have ever had, as well as the grilled Tandoori shrimp that is marinated in yogurt, ginger, cloves nutmeg, and dried mango; the grilled lamp chops that come with three perfectly grilled meaty garlicky chops that come with mango chutney, and the Haryali chicken Tikka- three huge plump boneless breast of chicken slices that are marinated in mint, yogurt, roasted cloves, green cardamom and star anise, and served with their famous tiger sauce and salsa. We also shared another marinated shredded beef dish special that had three beef croquette-shaped mounds that had such a umami of flavors I can't even replicate it in this review, but we thought it was just great. I would be remiss if I did not mention the creamy, silky crème brûlée that we enjoyed with a glass of Prosecco; a perfect encore to the phenomenal culinary treat we had just experienced with the appetizer medley. Sharing many apps is more fun we think, than committing to one big entree, so we suggest that you dash over to the Pittstown Inn TONIGHT, and tell them Debbie and Gene sent you....ask to meet Gary, the owner, who elegantly floats from table to table, touching each to greet them and to check later on as well to see if everything was to their liking. A true host from days gone by, this owner is the real deal whose passion for the hospitality business emulates from his constant smile from the joy he is getting from making his guests happy. You see that what fuels this man to keep opening his doors from year to year, despite the many hardships and setbacks life has dealt us all over and over, is his love for you, his loyal customer. He is a rare find, so I suggest you go and treat yourself to the real deal in dining. You will not be disappointed, and be sure to ask to meet Gary. He will make your visit complete. Kudos the phenomenal chefs I met as well, for their expertise and genuine ingenuity in designing a menu to please everyone. Can you tell we LOVE this place??????????“

“Great, relaxed lunch with DELICIOUS sandwiches/home-made bread...and let's talk about the desserts! What a great spot.“

“Amwell valley diner employees and owners One and all wish you all a happy thanks giving and all one can eat - now there a lot to say about the diner but sums it up the very best is a old school touch of hospitality and friendly atmosphere go on down the food is upscale and it’s a happy feeling you can relive the yesteryear days when we were younger but who says tradition has to ever stop in closing the home made corn muffins are sooooo delightful take it from a old schooler thru and thru and young at heart always this place is a icon of happy times and conversations ….“

“A great place for fine food and atmosphere !! The service was friendly and they couldn't do more for you. The restaurant has outdoor dining and some parking next to the building with tons of parking around Lambertville. A spectacular city where everyday is like a vacation.“

“Ryan was absolutely positively phenomenal“

“Excellent seasoning options! The vendor booth at Bellevue Rocks had a great sale and free samples so you could make sure you really liked each flavor before buying. Loved that the ingredients are clearly listed on each packet (real crab in the crab dip for those of us with shellfish allergies). Versatile flavors and makes great dips! Little pricey $30 for 7 packets but I felt it was worth it!“

“Very nice anniversary evening at the inn. We had not been there in many years. There have been a few different owners in the recent past but it still feels familiar. Different but familiar which I think is great. My friend is running the place now and seems to have put together a great team and some very nice dishes. Just last week we were texting about the inn and the menu and I mentioned the famous tomato bisque that the inn used to serve. Well not even 10 days later it’s back in the menu, which I think will be a welcome surprise to the local crowd. We are looking forward to returning.“

“Had dinner tonight.. Edamame ham soup was delicious! Cauliflower steak with pesto, corn and tomato was literally outstanding. Reasonable pricing for glasses of wine. David was a great and fun waiter 😊😊😊😊“

“Met some friends for lunch here yesterday. The owner/staff was so friendly. The food was fantastic (great coffee too). I brought a piece of the flourless chocolate cake home, and it was to die for!!! 🙂“

“The Inn is fantastic and we highly recommend. If something isn't right, they will go out of their way to fix it for you.“

“Great atmosphere. Great staff. Bartender Kristen is amazing.“

“One of our favorite restaurants of all time!“

“Ordered take out from this place and since it was in between meals I went with the loaded fries and they were delicious! Going back today for the full lunch with my family.“

“I work in New Hope and have been eating at Alta’s Kitchen multiple times each week. All of Robert’s food is fresh, cooked to order, and priced appropriately. The rosemary scented steak panini and homemade chicken noodle soup are my favorites! This is a one man show and Robert knows how to cook, produces a quality meal, and provides a 5-star customer experience. I look forward to continuing to patronize Alta’s Kitchen and am excited to see the business thrive in the future.“

“We were just there for drinks on 8/16 and a wedding on 8/17. The entire staff did an exceptional job! Shout-out to Logan, Ethan, Zach and Gage for holding it down at the bar! They were awesome!“

“Shroom burger & tots were awesome. The onion soup is killer. Mikaela took great care of us behind the bar. Will definitely come back.“

“My wife and I have been coming here at least once a week for years. Usually for breakfast (nobody makes a better, more stuffed omelet), but also for wings, burgers, chicken, pasta and more. And we cannot forget about the staff...friendly, attentive and fast service. Skip the chain restaurants and give Orlando's a try!“

“It is a wonderful place to eat. The atmosphere is beautiful, and the people who own it are wonderful. We’ve been there several times, and I even had a surprise party there. I can’t wait for the new place to open.“

“What a lucky find! I had the most delightful, relaxing experience at this cozy, friendly, quaint coffee shop!

I enjoyed a lovely chat with Manager Bri, who was super helpful and personable. The menu was much more exciting than a typical coffee shop & offered great breakfast, brunch and lunch food and drink options.

Loved the fun decor, expansive community bulletin board, support for local artists and craftsman, and info on local nature walks and attractions.

I’ll surely be back every Saturday while I’m on Mommy-Uber duty in the Montgomery/Hopewell area! Look forward to trying their famous frittatas next time.

We enjoyed the latte, breakfast tacos with hot sauce & the mixed green salad!“

“Went there with the family (10 people), the food was good, service was correct (the waitress was nice and got pretty much everything right), could have checked up on us more often (probably short-staffed). Nothing special about the atmosphere.
I would go back there.“

“On Sunday, November 23, 2025 I became reacquainted with an old college classmate and roommate of mine from Cal State, San Bernardino who came all the way from San Diego to visit friends of his located in NJ. We drove into New Hope for dinner and chose the Havana New Hope because we heard it was a great restaurant. Well...the food was terrific...and the service by your wonderful and beautiful server, Harley, made our visit one to remember. I plan to return with my family in the very near future to see a play at the Bucks County Playhouse....and go and finish our stay with a meal at Havana....be sure to let Harley know how good she was last night... ~ J Michael Baran“

“Great food! Super cute environment and nice to sit right on the river.“

“Beautiful Riverside View And The Most Amazing Food“

“A wonderful spot in town with great food! The outdoor bar is a great spot to hang in good weather but it’s always fun indoors too! The whole staff is wonderful- you’ll always feel at home at Fran’s :)“

“Stopped for dinner tonight it was the first time there. The food was delicious from the appetizer, main entree to the dessert. The chef and staff were very friendly.“

“Nasty, rude waitress who doesn't wash her hands after using the restroom. 🤢🤮“

“The bagels aren't the same, but they're still good bagels. Place is clean. It's a bagel place. If you place a big order at a busy time, check your order. That's standard for any food establishment. Their bagels are good, I've never had bad service, nor do I expect a gala in a bagel shop. I see people with some reviews that make it abundantly clear they've never worked in food service, and perhaps should be less judgemental, and take time to be a more conscientious consumer.“

“Such a stunning restaurant! We had dinner at Oldestone this evening and everything was wonderful. Really great service and amazing steaks. If you want something show stopping, try the Grande Plateau or Porterhouse Board. Both were fantastic.“

“The Sicilian with bacon and pepperoni ALWAYS hits the spot!!!“

“My nine-year-old accompanied me for lunch, and as my nine-year-old is a foodie, experience was fantastic. If your child is not a foodie, they probably would not be excited by the menu. I did not see any chicken fingers anywhere. 😉“
