We were not exactly blown away by our experience. We were here for Christmas Eve dinner and had 5:30 reservations. We were 10 minutes early so we checked in, sat down and waited to be called. Parties of various sizes (2, 4 and 6 people) walked in at exactly 5:30 and were seated immediately. My husband approached the desk and mentioned that it was 5:30 and other parties just walking in were being seated before us. We were told, “you were early”. What does that have to do with anything? It made no sense. The front desk staff was young and seemingly inexperienced. Young female servers were congregating around the front chatting with no urgency to do their job.

We were finally seated on the side of the restaurant near the tracks. Unfortunately, we were seated on a raised alcove above the tables that are along the windows. This alcove only had 2 tables. I suppose if we were seated in the proper order we might have had a table at the window. Being hidden from the main restaurant we were, at times, out of sight out of mind. While our server was friendly, she was a bit slow. It was almost 10 minutes before she came to get our drink order. We also asked for bread at that time. 25 minutes later we had our soft drinks. We had to remind her about the bread which took another 5 minutes. The restaurant was not packed so the service should have been better. I did notice that the only other table near us also got the same service.

The food did come out quickly. My husband had the cheesesteak spring roll appetizer which was just ok. They were light on the meat, heavy on the cheese and very greasy. He would not order them again. I had the salmon minus the rice with extra veggies. The maple glaze on the salmon was a little strong for me but the fish was flaky and moist. My husband had the crab cakes. They were packed with lump crab meat with very little filler. The green beans and roasted potatoes complimented the crab cakes nicely. He enjoyed his main meal.

Considering how long it was in between visits from our server we opted not to have coffee or dessert. Unfortunately, Lambertville Station was not the best choice for Christmas Eve dinner. It wasn’t horrible but we would not go back considering all the other options in the area.

We decided that this year we would not turn the house upside down with Thanksgiving, so we decided to spend our Thanksgiving in Lambertville, and have dinner at the Lambertville Station Restaurant, where we had been on several previous occasions.

We were too late to get rooms at the Lambertville Inn, but had no trouble getting reservations for a table for dinner. There were six of us (four adults and two small children) but we were accommodated without a problem, highchairs and all. We had a short wait for our table, which was reasonable when the place is busy on a holiday.

Our table was more than large enough to seat us all with room to spare, and the service was super. The menu was varied but everyone, myself excepted, had the traditional turkey dinner. They offered white meat, dark meat or half and half, which I found refreshing, and unusual, accompanied by traditional dressing, mashed potatoes or candied sweet potatoes, a vegetable, cranberry and gravy. Everyone was happy with their dinner. I broke tradition and ordered the prime rib, which was served exactly as ordered (really rare) with the mashed potatoes and vegetable,au jus and horseradish. It was excellent. Desserts were as good as the main course.

We always enjoy this place and, if you visit, make sure you ask for some of their coconut bread. It is made with just enough of a hint of coconut, and they will also sell you a loaf to take home if you wish.

Outdoor patio is relaxing and fun after a day of walking and browsing in shops along the river. Heaters are outside for when the temps start to drop making it cozy while still enjoying the summer evening air.

This place never disappoints. Wonderful service (ask for Jonathan ), delicious food (the Greek shrimp salad is spectacular ) and generous pours (ask for the larger wine serving ) in a beautiful setting on the Delaware! Outshines most establishments in the area.

Out exploring on a late autumn afternoon and walking across the Delaware River bridge, we wanted to break for a while and stumbled upon the wine cellar of the Lambertville Station down two sets of stairs from the street. The fire in the fieldstone hearth and the soft lounge chairs lured us in for an hour while we shared a pair of wine flights and some quinoa croquettes. Sitting there, we wished it were closer to home as we imagined stopping by on a snowy afternoon to chase away the winter chill.
