The Landing is located in the heart of New Hope on River
Road, just north of the bridge. There is a parking lot nearby sponsored by
the Fire Department and metered street parking (about .25 per 20 minutes).
Parking can be tight during busy times.
The Landing itself is a typical quaint New Hope building
that sits well back from the main road. There a many special touches such as
an ice sculpture of an eagle at the gate. Some of the seating offers a
spectacular view of the Delaware River. The restaurant is cozy and is
completely non smoking. It is great for intimate dining but they are also
kid friendly.
The service was excellent throughout the meal. We started
with a garlic-onion bread. For an appetizer, I shared the lobster, shrimp
and chicken spring rolls. The rolls are crispy and include with spinach and
bell pepper, lemon-black truffle mayonnaise, mandarin XO sauce. (10.95)
For the main course, I had the House made Lobster and
Sweet Potato Raviolis with Grilled Cepes, Shaved Locatelli and Foie Gras
Butter (22.95). Dessert was a delicious Warm Apple Cobbler with Maple-Walnut
Ice Cream ($6).
They accept major credit cards. If you haven’t been to
New Hope before, you might want to arrive early and visit the antique, book
and clothing shops in the town.

The ambience at the Landing is nothing but cool elegance.
Wonderful jazz piped in, fantastic view of the river, long tapers aglow,
white linen cloths, wood beam ceilings, tiffany lamps, two fireplaces
ablaze.
The lentil vegetable beef soup was luscious – very smooth
with a pinch of hot.
Egg rolls were robust with oriental flavorings – also
with a pinch of hot. The garlic onion bread was very fresh and crisp. For
dinner I had pan seared jumbo lump crab cake, pumpkin stuffed gnocchi, wild
mushrooms, caramelized onions, and butternut squash coulis. For dessert, I
had anise and port wine poached pears with sweet mascarpone, toasted pine
nuts, ginger syrup with balsamic reduction.
