Went for happy hour with colleagues after work one day, and it was a fun time. Weather was…read moreperfect, which is a big if and a big deal. Not too hot, not too cold. I found the bartenders outside to be very responsive, attentive, and helpful - I was never lacking for something to sip on. I recently decided to stop drinking alcohol, and it's pretty accommodating to that choice - seltzer at the ready, and a few mocktails on the menu! I ordered a virgin mojito, and it was great! Especially considering I can barely ever get a mojito anyway (yes, as soon as I decide to stop drinking, the first happy hour I attend has it available!). Food was not bad - we got a small spread of different appetizers, and I thought they were all pretty good. Nachos, a big taco thing, fried mac and cheese balls - decent bar food. With a name like Havana, one might expect it to be a Cuban spot, and in some ways it is (thanks again for the mojito!), but the menu was fairly mainstream. Overall a pretty good experience, I think, and I wouldn't be opposed to going again for another happy hour, though New Hope has lots of options! Parking was street-only, which was fine on a Tuesday evening, but I can imagine it being rough on a weekend.

But then they started letting people in again? It was really confusing. I don't think their parking situation is very good. Wonderful production with some of the best voices I've heard on at a smaller venue. Sound quality is good. The Live band up on stage is really cool. Makes it great with the acoustics of the room. There were some points where I felt like maybe the mics weren't quite attached to the person's head correctly and it got a little too far away from their mouth. I think that's bound to happen when the actors are seen in dancing. Seats were pretty comfortable. It was super easy and quick to get in even though it was jampacked. Nice little courtyard where you can wait until they open up. The men's room is not my jam. I hate that pee trough instead of a urinal. Pretty cool that you can walk straight into the restaurant after the play. Perfectly centered in all the little shops. Next time, definitely wanna catch another show and make a day of it in this area.

Borrowing a move from Tiki bars, the Boathouse's nooks contain risque artwork! We were greeted by a friendly lady in a tiki robe, who gave us the option to sit outdoors, indoors (ground level with live music), or upstairs where the bulk of the artwork resides. We opted for upstairs. The space felt like a classy naval officer's club. The cocktail menu contained mostly classics and riffs on classics. I opted for the Smoked Honey Negroni with Barr Hill gin, and a Boulevardier. Both were very good. The Boulevardier - interestingly, was served neat in a brandy snifter glass. Our group also tried the French 75 and Last Word (Mezcal style). Cocktails were $16-$17, well-constructed, and sturdy. Service was friendly and unrushed - the perfect format for a relaxing evening. My one constructive suggestion is to replace the creaky wooden chairs upstairs and add more couches or cushioned chairs.

For this five star review, I want to slightly preface that perhaps a small portion of why my wife…read moreand I had such a splendid experience at The Boat House was because of our timing, but I'll come back to that shortly because regardless of when we were there, I did love so much about this place. Recommended by almost any local you ask, The Boat House sits in the quieter Lambertville side of the bridge that connect this Jersey town to the slightly more bustling New Hope, PA. Down an Edison-lighted alleyway you'll find this small house for boats and ya know, it probably was a house (not sure about for boats) because it's pretty dang small. The night we were there I noticed there's some outdoor tables available, but really the interior downstairs area only fits a handful of folks. The upstairs can hold a bit more and that is where our timing lies. Somehow, we must have been early/lucky enough to hit The Boat House on a Friday evening when everyone was still out to dinner because the very friendly host sat us upstairs where we had the entire place to ourselves for almost our entire time there. Having the space added such an extra vibe to everything, especially because those creaky steps lead up to what really gives The Boat House its name as the ceiling is covered in maritime memorabilia. The walls, book shelves, and eclectic array of tables and chairs also adds to this. People or not, it is a true unique spot. But what really makes the place so great (besides the looks and the friendly staff who never stopped checking in on us) are the drinks. To start, my wife wasn't feeling alcohol and got an Aper-No Spritz which did the trick, though for myself, I dove into the intriguing list of specialty drinks that makes this place worth visiting. Round one was the Rower's Reserve which lists as a Boat House original and is gin-based with Amaro Nonino, sage, and blackberries to create some fantastic flavors. Round two I had to go with a personal favorite (with a twist) in the smoked honey Negroni which tasted exactly as it sounded. There were a bunch of other libations that also sounded intriguing, but that'll have to be for a future visit. Overall, there's a reason people from the area always suggest The Boat House. It's a true old fashioned maritime cocktail bar that gives you all the feels you'd want from a place like this. Perhaps this review is a little tainted in timing, but hey, maybe that'll give you a little motivation to get here on the earlier side and checkout the upstairs area for yourself. No matter if there's people up there or not, it's a good time here. Cheers!

I had mentioned to the host that my dad has dementia, and she was incredibly kind, caring, and accommodating. Our waiter, Anthony, was just as wonderful--professional, attentive, patient, and so understanding throughout our dinner. That meant more to us than he probably realized. And the food was excellent! I had the lobster rolls, which were delicious. My dad had the filet mignon, and my husband had a steak as well, and they both loved their meals and how perfectly the steaks were cooked. The calamari was very good, and that carrot cake was AMAZING. When you're caring for someone with dementia, being treated with patience and kindness can make an outing so much easier and more enjoyable. We truly appreciated how comfortable and welcome everyone made my dad--and all of us--feel on his birthday. Thank you to Anthony, the host, and the entire team at Odette's for helping make my dad's 81st birthday dinner such a special one. We will definitely be back.

It was very crowded for a dinner with a client. We were 50/50 client and my company, space would have been welcomed. The appetizers were good: calamari, oysters, ahi tacos. I had a filet for dinner, and while a nice cut steak, it was more medium than medium rare. It was still delicious, don't get me wrong! The strawberry shortcake trifle was outstanding. Nice selection of wine and bourbons, plus cocktails for those who partake. The only issue aside from the lack of space was with the service, honestly. It felt almost, combative. Our server was not overly kind, or forthcoming with recommendations. I know a business group of 13 can be a lot, but the job is to smile and handle it. I was relieved they sent over someone to help prebus and fill water, because it was getting behind. Overall, I would return again, maybe with a smaller group, maybe insisting on the larger space?

On May 5, we hosted friends from out of town and invited them to join us at The Rrazz Room to see…read moreSteve Grand perform live. While we enjoyed the concert, not a single thing about the venue went well. First, admission was disorganized, delayed and what was supposed to be VIP seating turned into the most cramped space imaginable. Service, either at the bar or at the tables was next to impossible. We waited 30 minutes for two glasses of wine, one mixed drink and one water. The six food items we ordered for our group of six people yielded only two sub-par appetizers. The rest of the food - over a 3.5 hour period - never arrived. Beyond never being able to find a server, the inattentive bar staff and no-where-to-be-found management, it became clear to all in attendance that the staff completely abandoned any effort to serve guests after about one hour and 45 minutes into the evening. Numerous people were opening questioning whether the staff had simply walked out, if only there was someone to ask. At one point, both the entertainment (Steve Grand) and the packed house openly joked about the fact that no food or drinks were being served. Gallows humor, yet no effort by management was made to remedy the situation. Yet, checks were dropped with haste toward the end of the evening. One in our party joked, "How did these checks get here? By drone?" The final touch, of course, was that nearly every check dropped at our large, communal table was wrong. We were charged for food that never came, and drinks we never ordered. When I found a server, hiding out in the lobby and asked what happened to cause such a train wreck of service, he told me "they reorganized the tables right before the event." I'm not sure why moving tables would derail service so unbelievably, but it did and still there was no apology. Just lots of servers sheepishly changing checks of very angry guests. I was embarrassed for our friends and for the fact we promised them a great evening. We ultimately found a nearby restaurant still open afterward and got something to eat after four hours of non-service. The management should be ashamed of themselves for not stepping up and making some type of effort to apologize to the entire crowd. When your entire room full of guests and the entertainment are making a stink about horrific service, you step up and take responsibility. All this place seems to want to do is take your credit card.

He loves him and I thought this would be a great surprise. We arrived and got some great seats. Like normal venues there is a two drink minimum. However, the prices there are a little on the high side. $10 min for a glass of wine and $11 for liquor. And that's the cheap stuff. Show was supposed to start at 5pm. It started closer to 6pm. Apparently Kreskin failed to mention that he refused to start the show while drinks and food were still being served. Has he never done a show in a venue like this. I've been to plenty of these venues where you can order drink. Service was awful. It took at least 20 minutes to get a drink. I drank my two drinks 30 minutes before the show started and then my glass sat empty for almost two hours. They never made an announcement that drinks were not going to be served during the show. The reason I'm giving it three stars is because today I did receive an email from the Rrazz Room letting us know what had happened and apologized for the inconvenience. I appreciated that. However, beyond that I would not return based on the extremely slow service and high drink prices.
