Manon Restaurant

User Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Love the food and setting, and have been coming here on and off for 15 or more years. "Off" because every 20th visit or so there is a distressing issue with the staff's temperament or the chef is in France or some such and food quality plummets. After a hiatus of several months following an outrageous experience when we arrived with friends at 8:15 instead of 8:00 (after having called to let them know; nominally, they are open until 9:30), we've returned twice, both times arriving relatively early -- 7 PM or thereabouts -- and finding a constructive turnover of waitstaff. All was right on the mark, with pleasant service and the usual great pate starter, bouillabaisse and duck mains, pear pie and espresso, although steak au poivre was on the salty side.

Bottom line, food and service once again is commendable, and as always the funky setting is as much fun as a "zinc" cafe in France. Fingers crossed, Manon appears to have regained its title as the best bet in and around Lambertville.

This cozy, family owned restaurant, is located in the center of town. The chef prepares each dish to perfection. Every bite is a memorable experience. The fish melts in your mouth, and the meat is tender and juicy. My mother is a vegetarian, and the chef was willing to accommodate her eating needs by preparing something special. The staff is friendly from the moment you enter the restaurant until you leave and the decor is unique. Manon is frequented by the locals and those lucky guests who know to make a reservation in advance when they are visiting the New Hope/Lambertville area. Grab a bottle of wine at the liquor store down the street and enjoy a night of fine dining. Manon is a gem in the heart of Lambertville well worth the experience.

Cozy, romantic restaurant with delicious food!: I've eaten here several times, and each time has been fantastic. The restaurant is small, and cozy. The staff is friendly, and the food is delicious. It's BYO and just off the main street in Lambertville.
