If I could leave this place negative stars, I would.FYI/PSA: The "vegan" options on the menu are NOT vegan. Advertised as such, but that was a lie. I'm not a vegan, but have severe allergies (dairy) & insisted on reading the stock packaging since frequently stock contains dairy (all of their vegan dishes have some sort of rice made with stock). Surprise - it contained milk! I alerted the staff to this & they simply brushed it off like it wasn't a big deal.The service was horrendous, and the odious manager I spoke with tried to get us to leave a tip when we said we would not be dining there because if I hadn't insisted on reading packaging, I would have wound up in the hospital.This was several months ago at this point, and looks like the establishment is closing (may already be closed?), but that's not really a loss, given they lie to their clientele.(The person I spoke to from the kitchen was very nice, though).

This was a wonderful restaurant that friends and family frequented often! Sadly, it closed it's doors permanently some weeks before Covid started closing local businesses. A new restaurant opened at the location, and has a rather different menu. It's become more bitter than sweet to see the ongoing "Open" on this listing. Here's to hoping Google gets these changes in place soon!

We have been going there for a number of years. Food is constantly good and nice atmosphere. Felt very comfortable during Corona social distancing.

Excellent brunch! Great service, good selection of dishes and nice outdoor, socially distanced dining!

Sadly it closed in March but has reopened as Under the Moon. Nice restaurant.

My wife and I ate here -- actually during a period when we were victimized by a PA car dealer reviewed elsewhere -- and this place just brought us back to faith in humanity and the best kind of eating experience possible. The server was wonderful, friendly helpful about the history of the area, and I not only finally found a vegan items on a menu after more than a year in the greater area; I also got the most amazing vegan chili I've ever had -- not just one flavor but many in an assortment of vegetables and spices. We've worked so hard for what little we have had in our lives - we have both worked in public service, my wife as a nurse -- so just finding the time to write this has taken months -- but please know we didn't forget that meal or the wonderful people there. May you be blessed, stay healthy, and we hope you are surviving financially as well out there.

Authentic food for the carnivores and the vegetarians! BYO, and very affordable , great value. Dining on the covered veranda is good, but Beth is the best!

This review is not of the food, or even the dining experience. It is about the unethical actions of the management/owners. Last week, a dear friend of the BG went to Cafe Galleria- a favorite restaurant of my friend and one they have always recommended- to buy a gift certificate for a mutual friend's birthday. No problem with the purchase. Last Saturday night we were all out to dinner in another town, to celebrate our friend's birthday. We presented the gift certificate to Cafe Galleria. Still no problem. But the next day, the daughter of our friend who made the purchase, was in Lambertville and stopped at Cafe Galleria. Where she was informed by management that the restaurant is closing in two weeks. NOW WE HAD A PROBLEM. My friend who bought the gift certificate felt, as I did, that it was wrong of Cafe Galleria to sell a significant gift certificate knowing they were shutting down in two weeks, so the recipient would either rush to get in and use it, or be out of luck. So, my friend has now called Cafe Galleria not once, but twice, and asked about a refund. Management's response- no deal. We now are notifying the gift certificate recipient, telling them they have literally days to get over there (about 45 minutes from where they live) and redeem that certificate. It is one thing if a business has to close suddenly for reasons they did not see coming or did not know. But it is another matter when you take someone's money, knowing there is a good chance the value will never be claimed. In the BG's view... unethical and wrong.

We always came here for brunch when visiting New Hope as it was always solid food and service. After our experience today, I was really disappointed in both the food and the attitude of one of the waitresses, who I believe was a manager. The portions were smaller, food was cold, bread was hard, and home fries changed. I brought a bunch of friends here and it ended up being a big mistake. Our waitress was nice and apologetic, but I’ll be trying other brunch spots in New Hope after this experience. Whether its a change in management or an off day in the kitchen, things need to get back to how they used to be.
Very tasty and fresh brick oven pizza. The mushroom soup was also delicious.

We were looking forward to a nice meal but the service and food were not quite up to snuff I ordered the tuna rare to medium rare and it came cooked as well done as could be; my companions salmon was severely under cooked and we had to start all over again with both meals The waitress was not very attentive never came back to check on the food and the desserts were minimal at best mostly gelatos and ice cream's

My fiancé and I have been coming here for four years now. We found this place when we were looking for somewhere that would accommodate our vegetarian and gluten free lifestyle. There is not an item on the menu that we have tried and haven't enjoyed. We specifically like the bbq seitan flatbread, any salad choice, the gluten free pasta with fra diavlo and their gelato desserts. Every time we come and have Christopher as our waiter he is always knowledgeable of the specials and our dietary needs. When we received him as our server tonight we decided to write a review due to the fact he is always so accommodating. Both tables to the side of us also made a point to share their positive experience with Christopher as their waiter and how pleasant he was throughout the night. By far our favorite place in Lambertville!

I love this cozy restaurant so much. Lots of vegan options, including soup. Great salads. I can't wait to return

We had no idea where to eat in Lambertville but gave this restaurant a try. The hostess was very friendly and the menu had some organic, heart healthy options. The dining room was comfortable and we enjoyed the ice cream and gelato offerings for dessert.
