    All day menu
    Christina F.

    3.5 stars, here's why: the ambience was great. I love old buildings with history and this one has it. Owners, maybe include a little history on your menu or website (date of building, etc)? Our server Erica was great. She answered all of our questions or went to find out the answer if she didn't know. The only exception was that the iced tea had a funky taste to it. My husband didn't drink it, and it should have come off of the bill. Otherwise she was pleasant and welcoming. My drinks were good, but the pours were not very generous. The duck entrée was delicious as was the sourdough crusted halibut. The sauces were very salty, however. In contrast was the macaroni and cheese. That had very little flavor for some reason it was more like macaroni in a plain white sauce. It needed seasoning and was not cheesy. The restaurant has an all day menu, which includes a little of something for everyone. The cocktails and martinis are creative and they also have some mocktails that are spirit free. All in all we would go back to try them again. With a few tweaks, this place could be fabulous. Also, there is a small section of outdoor seating if the weather permits with a view of the river that's across the street.

    Salmon
    Amanda M.

    We ordered online to just pick up and go, and I would NOT recommend based on our experience. I ordered a salmon dish that was $31 and it was bland and just not it. It had herbs de Provence on top but it was like it was an afterthought and they weren't seasoned into the salmon, more like cooked the salmon plain & dipped it in the dry herbs after it was cooked. The parsnip puree it came with tasted more like butter than anything else so I avoided that. My friend ordered a burger done medium and she got a well done burger. What pissed me off the most is I ordered a jalapeño cheddar biscuit and when we walked in, I saw a piping hot one being walked to a table that was dining in. The girl who I was picking up my food with told me they didn't have anymore so asked if a plain biscuit was fine .. I was like no not really I don't want that and they had no idea what to do. I asked if they had bbq sauce and the guy said "I don't know". Like what? You work there ??? I just took my food and left and sure enough the biscuit was SO DRY. My friend took cheese from her dinner and melted it onto the biscuit which made it way better. My question is- why didn't the restaurant think to do this if they have cheese.... This place was an expensive disappointment. We both didn't like our meals. The ambiance inside was nice though but the food and service sucked

    Pan-seared duck breast with arugula

    Best meal we've ever eaten here! We hadn't been to The Narrows in about a year, and we noticed a big change in the quality of the food. The waitress explained that the restaurant was under new ownership and that the new owners prioritize fresh and local. It showed. We started with a cocktail -- I had the special martini made with Lynchée juice. Served in a frosty glass, it tasted like a slice of summer. We shared the crab dip small plate as an appetizer. It came out piping hot in a cast iron skillet with plenty of crab. I had one of the special entrees - the seared duck breast. It was tender with a lovely sauce to dip into. My husband had the salmon. The portion was generous, and it was served skin side up -- perfectly crispy! The accompaniments were also very generous. The desserts that passed our table looked amazing, but we just didn't have room for any more. But we'll definitely be back -- and will save room for dessert! P.S. The view of the river also makes this a perfect date night spot.

    Goat cheese & beet salad
    Free Bridge Realty R.

    There's a new summer menu and it is fantastic!! Enjoyed Beautiful beet salad with goat cheese flavor bombs and an amazing crab + lobster papardelle with veloute sauce that is out of this world good!!! Goes perfect with a crispy sauv blanc chock full of fresh herbs, saffron and lots of lobster goodies: SOOOO good. Beautiful setting along the Delaware with excellent service and lovely dishes cooked with care. Passed by this like 100 times and so glad I finally stopped in. Hidden

    The ambiance is incredible. A glowing fireplace on a chilly November day. The building was very cool. A very old place completely redone. The menu is small. My husband thinks there are too many burgers to choose from where other food items could replace. Saying that, he got the jalapeño burger and it was too large to bite into. It was one large pepper (which was breaded and deep fried) sliced in half and placed on top of the meat. He asked for it well done, it was medium well. He did say that the bun was great. I had the pub pierogies which were fantastic. I have never had pierogies with green onion, sautéed onions and apple purée with sour cream (I'm Polish), it was fabulous! Service was on point. A very clean establishment. We will definitely return for dinner!

    Lemon ricotta donuts
    Ian B.

    I give a place a few shakes before I rate them unless they really stink then I come running to warn people. This place really is a toss up whether it will be good or not. I've had great meals here, bad meals, great service, bad service. All over the place. This was my gf's favorite spot up until the beginning of this year. We've come for brunch, lunch and dinner. Prices are always pretty high. I don't mind paying if things stay consistent. Well anyway last night was the tipping point. Went to see Burnt Mills Highballers after seeing them at local brewery. Sat down for date night, ordered octopus, burrata and lobster, crab egg rolls. Octopus was burnt, so hungry ate it anyway, didn't ask for a refund like a jerk. Honestly burrata was great on the little pieces of toast. Then the beer I wanted a refill on was tapped but it took forever to let me know it wasn't coming so I asked to cancel it. He still brought it to me and charged me for it. Then the final piece, the dessert. Ordered the donuts and they came out flat. Waiter dropped them and ran cause he knew it was terrible. Hate that this place isn't consistent. Prices should match the service and food. Also don't charge the band for drinks. That was incredibly wild to me seeing them get a check for drinks in the middle of a set. Wtf?

    After two visits to this spot, and holding out hope because of the location, I can't say this is a spot worth stopping at. Both times we have had beers that have a funky taste, as if the taps are not being cleaned regularly. The mixed drinks are sugary and are highly priced. The food is overpriced. The dishes are overall poorly crafted and prepared, some of our food came out cold & are generally smaller portions. Our soup was cold on the first visit. My most recent dish, the pork pappardelle, had whole, uncut peppers intermixed with the noodles. The pork was stringy and overcooked. The location is great, which has inspired both of our attempts to dine here, but each time we leave we are left feeling very disappointed and a little jipped.

    pulled pork sandwich
    Jenna M.

    stopped in for lunch, sat outside and it was so nice! The staff is super friendly and the restaurant itself has a great atmosphere. We got the wings with the BBQ sauce as an app (not pictured) and they were amazing! They make the whiskey BBQ in house and it was the best BBQ sauce we've ever had! For lunch I had the beet and goat cheese salad and it was PHENOMENAL! the fried goat cheese balls were so good, I could've eaten those on their own! My boyfriend had the pulled pork sandwich and said it was one of the best sandwiches he's ever had!! Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend and we will be back!

    Stoped here for a beer and had the Cuban sandwich 19 bucks (although there site menu says 16 ? Smallest and thinnest amount of meat I have had on a sandwich. Basically bread left hungry wont return. I've been here in the past, I've always enjoyed , so like others say hit or miss my wife had something else which was ok at best, house wine is expensive and very very small pours

    Beautifully cooked steak, amazing béarnaise and great fries

    It feels like a relic from an earlier era, but you know what, I dug it. The parking lot and the…read moreinterior were huge, but I came at opening on a weekday, so it looked a lot more empty inside than it was. Our waitress was very friendly and ended up leaving a pitcher of water once she saw we were parched. The salad bar wasn't huge, but there were some cold dishes along with salad fixings, which is part of the vintage charm. The bread (not complementary) was also a huge round loaf great for sharing. The decor's medieval vibe is very charming and it's nice looking around the room. The kitchen is open to the dining room with big brick ovens. I had the prime rib which was big and juicy (the baked potato was fine but the Yorkshire puff was bland and barely editable soaked in juice - may just be I don't like this food). The steak came with a giant onion ring which was delightful, and it was cooked perfectly tender. This place thrives in your meat and potato staples, so not a lot of side options except what's at the salad bar. For dessert, we had to try the peach melba delight, which was a giant goblet of vanilla ice cream, peaches in juice, whipped cream, and a cherry on top. Deceptively simple but extremely tasty and great to share There's a large bar area and the bathrooms are nice. This place is great for larger groups that include older people. The food is good and the atmosphere did feel like it was from another time, but we had a good time, and it's nice to see a place like this still around.

    I must have driven past this venue 100's of times and never really took notice. It wasn't until I…read morewas out with the family that someone suggested going to The Pub. I learned later that this restaurant has been around since the early to mid 1900's. Plenty of parking in a large open lot. The place is very large and has one of the longest bars I've seen. The wood is very dark and you can see the chefs cooking over the hearth. They don't take reservations and won't see you until your entire party is there. One of the things I liked for our party of 10 was they had no problems with seating as they also have many large round tables. For mixed drinks, they make them pretty big and potent. For my martini, they sent back an extra glass. They also had great bleu cheese stuffed olives. We ordered onion rings (8 large to an order) and fried zucchini. The onion ring I had was pretty good. I didn't have the fried zucchini but heard it was also pretty good. Other than the light fare items, all dinners come with their salad bar which has both iceberg lettuce and Caesar Salad along with many fixings as well as cheeses and bread. I had the Baked Seafood Platter which came with scallops, shrimp, Clam Casino (without the shell), Maryland crab cake and a small lobster tail for $49.99. My wife had the baked chicken breast which she said was quite dry. The dining area is quite large and reminds me of the restaurants at a casino. Some in our group said it reminds them of Medieval Times due to the dark wood vibe. While I thought it was a bit pricey, I would still come back and try their signature steaks or prime rib.
