Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Phillipsburg, New Jersey

Our table of 4 enjoyed 4 amazing appetizers (crispy chicken dumplings, grilled octopus, butternut fritters & pork belly), 4 delicious entrees (veal cheeks, rabbit ragu, short ribs and the pasta special), not to mention some really enjoyable cocktails. Hard to pick a favorite as everything was delicious. The menu encourages you to step outside of the box a little bit and it is so worth it. Our server, Chris, was fantastic. He gave some great recommendations, seemed to show up just when we needed him and he just added to our overall wonderful experience!

Always a good spot to grab a meal and drink before heading to a show at The Easton State Theater. It can get a bit lively on a Saturday night, it is a brewery, but we could chat easily without straining to hear one another. Attentive service, good food. Not our first visit, not our last visit.

We had such a great experience. The Perfect and Proper Manhattan's were both quite PERFECT. We took advantge of the specials....the Beef Wellington and Veal Parm were outstanding. Never a bad idea to finish with a great piece of chocolate cake. Service was exceptional, all around A+ dining experience.

We had another wonderful experience at Black Bass Hotel! It’s one of our favorite restaurants to visit when we come to New Hope! Our server, Karen was awesome! It’s obvious that she loves her job! She gave us some great recommendations and all were delicious! We had the scallops appetizer. The scallops were large and fresh! My husband had the salmon and I had the cod. Both very tasty and cooked to perfection! Karen asked me if I had any allergy to cheese since it was in the sauce. They made my cod to order with just a little butter and it was perfect! We ended our meal with the incredibly flavorful French pressed coffee and the s’mores dessert. Karen went above and beyond to make our experience special. We will be back, and we hope to get Karen as our server again!

I had the french onion soup and mac & cheese. The soup was excellent, mac & cheese was okay but not great. My son had the french onion soup and mushroom risotto, which is always excellent! My daughter-in-law had the soup and a wrap. They ordered the bread pudding for dessert, which they said was very good, I had the cheesecake which was also very good.
