Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Pennington

The restaurant is cozy and welcoming, with a partially open kitchen. The attention to detail and innovation they put into their food is just as elevated as Chef Rucker’s Rivertwice. Every bite was delicious and presented simply, highlighting the gorgeousness of the dish. If I had to pick, the swordfish belly tartare and fried whole bass were favorites. The drinks were creative and strong, with perfectly clear ice cubes! We were so full but had to have the desserts, which as always, were light and perfect, simultaneously sophisticated and comforting. The only downside is we couldn’t possibly try everything, but we can’t wait to go back! Seating at the raw bar is a great vantage point and also cozy, casual and intimate. The staff were so knowledgeable, friendly and attentive, clearly well trained, excited to know us and welcoming. Bravo Chef!

Food was interesting. Flavors somewhat unexpected, but great tasting. Drinks were great. Waiter was great! Pleasant and attentive ! However our main entrées took a while, which made us rush at the end. We would not mind the wait if we were not greeted by a hostess with “ enjoy , you have until 7. As we have table reserved for someone else at that time”

Food and drink is were really great as was the beautiful view of the river. I had a pear spritzer and the Bucks County breakfast and loved both. Potatoes, eggs, bacon…cooked perfect. Service was very good. Parking is valet only and a bit pricey. Overall very good experience though and wouldn’t hesitate to do it again.

New leg of venison dinner is one of their best preparations of venison that I have experienced here over the many years. Paired wonderfully with the wild mushroom soup (no way similar to more docile mushroom soups by other restaurants). All this paired wonderfully with a modest claret. Hope to repeat this at a future visit.

Food was delicious and service was great. Bread was awesome!
