The Mansion Inn

we were told that the room could sleep 3 with the couch. we told them the room was dirty and the couch was a love seat and we need a switch rooms. when we got back from the wedding nobody was around, they did not switch are rooms, so we left at 1130pm to drive back home. when calling them to discuss what happen all we got was lies and yelled at. we will never go there again or the bar/​restaurant during the summer

What a horrible experience. The food, the service, the drinks, the price… everything. It started with asking the hostess to close the front door because we were freezing. She said, «No. We’re not allowed to close the doors. Then nobody will know we’re open.» Really? That should have been our cue to run away before dropping $ 120/​couple.
Drinks were very overpriced. One person in our party asked for white wine and was told they only have red. I wonder what they were making the white sangria with. We waited 45 minutes for our salads which had about 23 cents worth of ingredients and for which they charged $ 10. While waiting for the salads we asked for some bread and were told they didn’t serve bread. What?
My paella was passable, albeit small for $ 28, but my husband ordered some steak and shrimp concoction which was over cooked chunks (inedible) of steak and a few measly shrimp swimming in a bowl of salty broth. No rice… no potatoes… no vegetables… for $ 32.
The waitress was surly when we complained about the wait for our food even though we asked nicely about the delay and explained that we knew it wasn’t her fault. She basically threw our food at us. Needless to say, we will not be back.

Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon for sangria and appetizers, and were not disappointed. Everything was very tasty, and the service was great. Best part was watching the crowds go by as we comfortably sat in the yard. Definitely will go back again!

We come to New Hope a lot and found this place on a whim due to their sangria signage, and glad we did. Great sangria, great food. The atmosphere tops it all… Old fashioned and perfect for a Fall lunch. The service was great, very friendly staff. Thank you!

The sangria was decent and thats about it. Hence 2 stars vs. 1.
The food: I ordered a vegetable paella that tasted like rice a roni. It looked like frozen veggies were used.
The service: When asked by the waitress how my food was, i told her it wasnt so great. She then told me that i should have ordered the seafood paella instead. Awesome advice… not.
Not going back and do not recommend unless you only plan to drink sangria at the bar while killing time before walking down the street to your dinner reservation elsewhere.

This review is for the B&B part of the Mansion, or should I say the B, there is no breakfast which is OK by me.
we stayed over for one night this past weekend and the room was just fine and as expected. I wills ay the mattress was a bit hard, so be ready for a firm night sleep.
Kristen was lovely and offered a nice welcome upon arrival.
No issues with room.

Its DISGUSTING! poor food, poor sangria and poor service. Dirty and rundown. Dont get fooled by their new opening

Just came from the newly opened Sangria Garden restaurant at the Mansion Inn. Worst experience of my life. My fiancée ordered a paella, we are not experts in it, but we have a place in Spain and had paella there many times, to keep it simple, it’s supposed to be cooked and served in a shallow and large pan and the rice needs to be a quarter inch of so high.
The dish we got at this place came in a crock and looked like some kind of stew. My fiancée took a bite and didn’t like it. We called the waitress and told her we didn’t want it. She went back and immediately called the owner who came with a very bad attitude and told us that this was the right dish and that we would have to pay for it. Without making a long story, we paid but told the owner we would write about it in social media, his reaction was to tell us to get out of his restaurant. In my 57 years I have never heard that coming out of any restaurant owner’s mouth here on anywhere else in the world (and I travel extensively.) In summary, the fact the food was bad could be overlooked, but the owner’s attitude was just inexcusable and I would be surprised if he stays in business for more than a few months. BTW, he and his wife are Greek, one of the most hospitable people in the world, this guy gives Greeks a bad name.

My boyfriend and I were trying to select a restaurant to eat at in New Hope on December 27, 2014 before we browsed the shops. The Mansion Inn’s menu on its website seemed very appetizing so we were sold and I made a reservation. We were looking forward to our dinner on a nice Saturday night and previous reviews on Unilocal looked good as well.
However we started seeing warning signs as soon as we were seated. We both tried to order mojitos and were told there was no mint. My boyfriend was smart and decided if a bar couldn’t make a simple drink like a mojito that he should just order a plain iced tea. However I was persistent and tried to order a sangria, only to be told they had no fruit. So I tried again and asked for a long island iced tea and this the waiter said they could do. When I received my drink it tasted like there was salt in it and pure alcohol, no sweet and sour mix or anything else. It was horrible. And as we later learned from looking at the receipt… it was $ 12.
Then the waiter brought over the board with the menu items written on it, no actual menus are provided. And I felt another uneasy feeling when the entire menu didn’t match the one on the website. The waiter couldn’t tell us when the website menu had last been updated. And the menu choices for that night could honestly be found in any generic diner or Italian restaurant. I tried to ask if there were any soups that night and was told no.
My boyfriend later told me I could make a better chicken piccata than the one he ordered and that it definitely was not worth $ 24. My pasta bolognese wasn’t bad but it also was not the best I’ve ever had, nor was it worth $ 22 either.
When I was waiting for the check to be taken a man in a hoodie and carrying a drink from the bar came in to ask me how our visit was going. I was really unsure if he worked there or was just visiting based on his attire.
There was only one other family eating there besides us and once they left we were completely alone in the restaurant. We had high hopes for this place but I really don’t feel like they are at the level of quality that they try to portray. The waiter was nice and we felt bad about just getting up and leaving so we stayed and had a meal there as most other restaurants would have a wait on a saturday night.

I can’t say enough about this place! From the atmosphere to the food to the staff everything was top notch. My boyfriend and I stayed at the Inn for just one night. Our room was beautiful with an outstanding view. The charm in the house and on the property is to die for. There is a stunning bar/​garden/​dining area out back that just makes you feel like you’re in another time and place. We sat at the bar for dinner. The bartender was very enjoyable with a great sense of humor. It took me some time to decide on what to have for dinner because everything on the menu was so tempting! My bf ordered the fire shrimp appetizer highly recommended by another guest at the bar while I decided and I was so glad he did! I finally decided on the Ribeye and he had the fish tacos. My ribeye was cooked to a perfect medrare and my bf said the fish tacos which he orders everywhere were the best he ever had.
I highly recommend stopping by The Mansion Inn when in New Hope and if you get the chance stay the night. We will surely be going back for a longer stay next time.

This review is happy hour only. The Mansion Inn was recently re-​opened. It’s a restaurant and small in. I believe they have 7 rooms. The have a beautiful outdoor seating area that is covered. I saw they had reasonably priced wine, so we walked on it. The outdoor bar is small. Has about 12 seats. When we got there is was 90% full. A very nice person moved over and opened up two seats.
They have a great happy hour. I’m not sure what time it’s starts, but it ends at 6p. House wine $ 5, Bud lites $ 3. They also have sangria and some other drinks on special.
The people at the bar were friendly. The bartender was engaging and was ready to offer you another drink right before yours went empty. It was a great first stop on our trip.
We didn’t have the food, but we chatted with people around us who ordered food and they were impressed. The shrimp appetizer came highly recommended as well as the soup that day which was a potato soup.
We will definitely go back and probably have dinner there and who knows, maybe stay the night. It’s located right on the main street in New Hope, so primo location.

My parents had eaten dinner at The Mansion Inn a few times and had such wonderful things to say about the head chef and owner. so in lieu of my birthday, I suggested to friends that we try it. We couldn’t have had a better experience. The outside dining area is exactly what we were hoping for with a bar, lights, and the live entertainment only added to the great vibe. My girlfriends and I kept discussing how adorable the garden area would be for a quaint wedding or any type of personal event!
We ordered a variety of dishes off of the menu (which was accommodating to everyone including vegetarian friends) and we were very happy with the food. I personally loved the seared scallops and ahi tuna. The inside of The Mansion Inn is also really cool and modern, but still has that romantic and historic feel. I would suggest The Mansion Inn to anyone looking for an enjoyable night out whether it’s with friends, a date night with your love, or any special occasion. My friends and I will definitely be back to The Mansion Inn!

We had been to the Mansion years ago for lunch, and were walking through New Hope and were ecstatic to find that they do a weekend happy hour from 4 – 6 Wednesday-​Sunday. They have $ 2 Bud Lights, $ 3 Landsharks, $ 5 wines and sangria. Can’t beat those prices in New Hope. We were so happy to see that they opened up an outdoor bar and patio. It was perfect for what we were looking for– some outdoor drinks that weren’t outrageously priced. Score!

Honestly, I wish I could give a better review.
We came here right after my boyfriend proposed to me, so we were feeling very celebratory and wanted somewhere with a nice atmosphere. The Mansion Inn looked gorgeous and the menu seemed to fit our tastes.
We sat in the backyard. Cute outdoor (covered) tables with candles and dimmed lighting.
The real problem was with the service. Our waitress was really nice, and so was everyone else there, but they were strangely unhelpful. There were three parties seated in the backyard, yet everything took forever. At one point, we waited half an hour for a drink, and when I reminded our waitress about it, she went over to the bar and picked up the drink that was already sitting there for a while and waiting to be served. The ice was mostly melted!
This happened with every drink order.
The food took a while as well (more understandable) and wasn’t particularly good (shrimp appetizer and fish tacos). Not bad either, just bland.
Overall, just a disappointment. We chose this place out of all the other ones in New Hope thinking that it was the perfect place to celebrate, and in reality we just sat around waiting and had 75% fewer drinks than we would have had otherwise.
Cute place though.

Great outdoor patio. Good food. Weekend happy hour. And best of all, the bathroom features a full shower!

Just had a wonderful dinner at The Mansion. Sat out front on the porch and people watched in the quaint town. Every dish was better than the one before. The crispy fire shrimp and the fish tacos were my favorites and will bring me back again soon. Perfect meal before going to the theater. Maybe next time we will stay over! Thanks.

Recently stopped by for a quick glass of wine on their beautiful outdoor patio.
Absolutely gorgeous and relaxing out there, sorry I couldn’t stay longer for a bite to eat, the menu looked amazing! The bartender was very attentive and friendly and I
will definitely be heading back to for dinner and drinks soon!

Stopped in on a stroll down Main Street. We were extremely impressed with this place. Nice quiet outside bar and seating area. The Food is spectacular, waitstaff is attentive and polite. I would 100% recommend this place. We will definitely come back!

Ignore the reviews made prior to The Mansion’s reopening earlier this year.
We stopped by the outdoor patio recently for drinks and dinner, and enjoyed everything. Since the restaurant is new, the menu is limited as the kitchen works out the kinks. This is a good thing as everything we had was excellent.
We look forward to our next dinner here.

Stopped here with friends for a light lunch and came away very impressed. My wife and I have been going to New Hope since 1965 and heard about The Mansion Inn from Savor, a dining group.
Our waitperson, Gretchen, was fantastic and even went downstairs to fix the soda line for Glenn. We joked with her constantly and she just came back for more.
We started with an order of calamari which came with sliced banana pepper and a balsamic vinegar dressing. Very nice — could have been a little crisper. Lunch consisted of BLT with cheese — excellent, Crab cake salad and a Soft Shelled Crab sandwich — all excellent.(Lunch for four, by the way) All this in the garden, under a tent with crystal chandeliers! All the sandwiches came with a «salad of the day» which was a potato salad — again, very good.
Coming from the hustle-​bustle of a Saturday in New Hope, The Mansion Inn was a welcome oasis where we could relax and enjoy!
We will definitely go back, perhaps for dinner next time. The previous reviews seem a bit harsh, but there may have been changes since their reviews. The interior of the building was beautiful with a very nice sitting room off of the foyer. They are affiliated with The Majestic Hotel in Ocean Grove.
