Marsha Brown’s is located in an old church in the heart
of New Hope. They have valet parking most nights. Street parking is metered
and is difficult to find. You also have to watch your time. If you go uphill
from main street, you will find an abundance of reasonably priced parking
lots. We paid $6 at the lot just uphill from the New Hope train station.
They have a small elevator for handicapped access to the second floor.
The first floor of the building houses the oyster bar,
bar and a private room. When you go upstairs, you are in the old church
itself with the stained glass windows and a magnificent painting by a local
artist, Valeriy Belenikin The room is unique to say the least.
The high ceiling of the church, altar rail and windows make for a
comfortable atmosphere. Dress ranged from casual to suit and tie. All ages
were represented.
I started with salad with a tangy honey mustard dressing.
For a main course, I had the Chicken Florentine which was served sizzling.
The meal was delicious. I ordered a cappuccino and the chocolate cheesecake.
They were out of the cheesecake but our waiter suggested a chocolate mousse
instead. That turned out to be an excellent compliment to the cappuccino.

Wonderful atmosphere, wonderful service, wonderful food.
Stained glass windows, cathedral ceiling, a huge biblical mural all are a
marvel.
They have several oysters to choose from. The most
popular are from Prince Edward Island You may have them steamed. I had a
delicious lobster stuffed with crabmeat served with drawn butter.
The crème Brule was the best I ever had. Bring your
prayer book and go!
