A lifelong oyster aficionado, Tyler recommended an outstanding selection of Blue Point, Sweet Baby Jesus, and Stormy Bay oysters. The evening of our visit, Eve and I got to speak with Dan Whittaker and his lovely wife Cindy and enjoyed the well-informed service of pleasantly personable Tyler Strauss.

This is what Dan and current partner Rose Carbanara call “the restaurant’s own special branding.” He says that their guests appreciate the consistency of the menus, as well as the locally sourced products presented by the kitchen staff, including fresh herbs from the restaurant’s own herb garden. And because there has been so little staff turnover in the past thirty years, guests have come to know and request specific servers to tend their tables and to bring out their favorite dishes. It’s no surprise, then - according to co-owner Dan Whittaker - that the Lambertville complex can boast eighty-five- to ninety percent repeat business and that the children of the earliest customers now patronize the restaurant and inn with their own families. Private events take place in five separate venues on the property, accommodating from fifteen to two-hundred guests. So it’s no wonder that Lambertville Inn has been the destination of countless wedding parties, weekend- and Bucks County Playhouse-Getaways, as well as anniversary bashes, business meetings, and the like. The main dining rooms, including the Riverside Ballroom, where Sunday Brunch is served, also offer excellent views and artifacts - and European-style service - to complement the culinary creations of Executive Chef Chris Veal and his staff.īut when Mother Nature is especially kind, loyal patrons flock to the Canal Side terrace and bar to dine amid the refreshing breezes of the season. Or they can enjoy tapas, flatbreads, charcuterie, artisanal cheeses, and hand-crafted chocolates in the popular Wine Cellar, whose stone walls, exposed original wooden beams, and cozy fireplace provide the perfect backdrop to sample one of fifty boutique wines. All year round, guests can sip a specialty cocktail, craft beer, or fine wine in the Pub, an authentic wood-grained American tavern with an oval bar and comfortable booths. With a hefty combination of sweat, savvy, and old-fashioned chutzpah, they physically gutted the interior, renovated and redesigned the premises themselves, picked up a host of Victorian-era furnishings and antiques to dress up the place, and set about creating an eclectic menu that has clearly stood the evolving taste-test of time.Įven on a cool spring evening, Eve and I could see the seasonal potential of the restaurant. Original partners Dan Whittaker, the late Mike Dougherty and a friend named Skip acquired the abandoned train station in 1980.
