Reviews
We stopped in for a glass of wine, they had a nice selection of wines by the glass. The food looked appetizing on the menu though we didn't partake as we had dinner plans later in the evening. We will definitely stop by again next time we're in New Hope.
I made reservations for lunch at Nektar on a Saturday to celebrate my friend's birthday, and it was a fantastic experience. The space is absolutely beautiful, with an open, airy layout that's perfect for enjoying nice weather. The restaurant was spotless, and the modern décor added to the ambiance. While the gluten-free options were limited, I was able to find something suitable and was pleased with the flavors. The service was excellent from start to finish--attentive and friendly throughout. We also enjoyed some celebration cocktails, and though their cocktail menu isn't extensive, everything we ordered was delicious. Nektar is an ideal spot for groups or something more intimate--you can't go wrong with this place. It's a great choice whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just looking for a lovely place to relax and enjoy a meal.
Our favorite spot in the New Hope / Lambertville area. The view and experience on the outdoor deck in the back is wonderful. You overlook a slow moving stream and the downtown of New Hope. The indoor section also open to the outdoor during nice weather. The menu offers many small plates for sharing and has high quality choices. The wine list by the glass or bottle is nice and overall this place hits the spot for the way we like to dine. That is, sharing small plates and wine or cocktails. The also offers interesting drink choices such as Mead. Each time the service has been excellent. Definitely recommended. Give it a try.
I was not expecting the food to upstage the wine at Nektar, but it did just that. The menu includes a long list of delicious-sounding tapas, sandwiches, charcuterie, cheese, and other goodies. We mostly relied on our server for recommendations, and she gave us some great choices. Honey tomato bruschetta (Whipped ricotta, thyme, basil): this was so good! Maybe my fave dish of the night. A big, sprightly pile of tomatoes piled onto crispy toasts with a creamy layer of cheese and topped with honey. So decadent! Moses sleeper (cow cheese): No wait, this was my favorite! This brie was so creamy and nutty and delicious. However, I do wish it had been served with more accoutrements. Beet salad: this was uber fresh and made me feel like I had gone foraging out in the country for my dinner. Golden and red beets combine with decadent goat cheese and pecans, which were kind of unusual in a beet salad but worked really well. Korean fried wings: really good; the breading had a nice crunch. Sweet and umami soy flavors, and lightly spicy. Lightly spicy. I had the light white wine flight and a glass of Lucashof Trocken (dry) Rosé. All were good, but I need to highlight the standout, the rose! Really great option if you like a dry, but fruity and refreshing, rose. I can really see Nektar becoming a go-to for us on our visits to New Hope! The ambience is also very nice, both inside of the restaurant and out on the patio, which overlooks the water.
This wine bar is very small & was fairly crowded on a recent Sunday. They have an upstairs area plus an outdoor patio. We sat at the bar for a quick drink & an appetizer. I ordered a glass of red wine & my hubby ordered a beer, plus we split meatball sliders. They have wine & champagne flights. The wine list was not huge but was fine, they have a few beers on tap, and maybe 6-8 cocktails they can make. Our bartender was nice but slow in taking our order & slow in getting us our bill that we requested. Overall though it was fine.
