Food was decent but overpriced. Service was slow on a Saturday even though there were several empty tables. Kitchen was slow for entrees and I think our waitress was inexperienced because we had to flag her down to order refills and the check despite seeing her standing around a bit. We would have ordered dessert if she had checked on us sooner after our meal.

Food was excellent/exceptional from start to finish on this first visit to The Sergeantsville Inn. The timing of the food invites leisurely dining and the wait staff do a great job making you aware and suggesting an appetizer. Very unique and special atmosphere. We loved it through and through.

Have been going here for years. A fantastic old stone building with stylish historic ambiance, wonderful food, attentive service and great wine. The award-winning cassoulet is out of this world! Jes and Daniel have really raised the bar to a new level! The Ice House wine shop is also great fun for wine tastings with a very unique select. Our favorite restaurant in NJ!!

Came here this weekend for a celebration dinner which did not disappoint! We got the bread and butter as an appetizer and the sourdough was excellent. We ordered two branzinos and one steak frites. Everything was excellent with big enough portions for leftovers. Dessert was good as well, both the pear crumble and the almond cake. This is definitely a cozy place to visit when having a special dinner!

Food has changed. Uppity food menu. Tavern lots of greasy food. Still great ambiance. Beautiful old stone building.

My wife enjoyed the Duck cassoulet and I loved the Barnegat scallops with apple relish.
The reviews saying this restaurant is anything less then an impressive, wonderful experience from beginning to end are confusing.I have been dining here for the past 5 years and it has never ceased to be anything but exceptional. From the moment you are greeted at the door, everyone from the hostess, to the management , the servers , bartenders, and bussers all show profound care for their patrons, expertise, and a depth of service that is felt every visit.A seasonal ever changing menu keeps things fresh and interesting and the utilization of the areas freshest meat, seafood, and produce puts this restaurant above the rest.An eclectic spread of carefully crafted flavor combinations , it is impossible to go wrong.Some personal favorites of mine include the kale Caesar salad, duck poutine over house made fries,(which is only on the tavern menu but can be ordered in the dining room as well) burrata, Campanella pasta tossed with roasted sweet potato, spinach, sage brown butter sauce, and a fresh dollop of goat cheese .Duck cassoulet, the butchers daily cut with locally foraged mushrooms, sautéed kale, potato terrine, and au jus. A generous portion of pan seared scallops with apple relish and a lemon brown butter sauce. I could keep going , but the bottom line is everything is fantastic here so see for yourself!If you save room for dessert share a chocolate peanut butter trifle, its the best!

Every room of Sergeantsville provides a different experience.The Tavern has awesome attentive bartenders & tasty bar foods . I would to recommend the honey bbq popcorn & fried pickles to everyone. The library is always my favorite for brunch . Of course , get the biscuits & gravy . For dinner, make a reservation for the dining room! My recommendation for dinner would be to save room for desert & espresso martini! The maple glazed salmon or the scallops are both tied for first in my ratings & if you can’t finish the chocolate peanut butter desert, take . It . Homeeee.

This was once a great restaurant. This time the food was unacceptable, a rip off. Drinks were meagre. The kale salad was a heap without dressing. The waitress told us that that they were out of their locally-sourced "butcher's slice" of beef, served instead chewy overdone roast beef at full price. The salmon and chicken main courses were mediocre and the deserts we selected from their meagre menu were in inedible. The young waitress was nice but apparently totally inexperienced, useless in guiding us through the choices that had changed significantly. Never again unless there are new reputable owners.

The worst experience at this restaurant ever. we had dinned there for many years. We were looking forward to a good experience with the new owners. We were so wrong and so disappointed.My dinner of smoked salmon was a real joke. A one inch tick slice of black bread and few tiny slices of good smoked salmon, unfortunately covered with a strange mixture, my pasta dinner looked more and tasted more like a soup, and I am very kind on my choice of words !! All in a total fiasco.Don’t waste your money.G.CNew Hope, pa

This was our first time back since the new owners took over. The young female hostess was friendly, welcoming and seated us quickly in the main dining room. It appears extra tables had been added to the room, making it feel cramped. We ordered the mushroom Arancini, which were tasty and came out hot. We also ordered the Heritage wheat bread and the soup of the day, which was vegetable barley. The soup and bread took a very long time to come out and the soup was luke warm and tasteless. The bread was chewy and seemed to be reheated, making the texture unappealing. I ordered the mushroom gnocchi and my husband ordered the braised pork pappardelle. Both dishes were extremely disappointing. The gnocchi were unlike any Italian gnocchi I ever had. They were heavy, had no flavor and came out luke warm. The pappardelle dish was a huge clump of doughy, floury pasta and the pork lacked flavor. I ate the mushrooms and left the gnocchi. The table had no salt or pepper shaker, leaving our meals bland. This mediocre meal cost over $110 and included 2 draft beers. We won’t be back to our former once a week favorite restaurant based on today’s disappointing meal. What a sad day in Sergeantsville!!!
