Customer Reviews
The food, the people, everything was amazing. Such a great experience, they treat you like family. We brought our newborn for our first outing and they helped make the experience perfect. The oven roasted duck with sweet potatoes was amazing. We will be back.
Blue Paddle Bistro had some hits and misses, but overall, we had a decent experience. Visiting from out of town, we needed a dinner spot and made a same-day reservation, which they kindly accommodated. The restaurant has a cozy, rustic vibe — think cabin-in-the-mountains charm. The menu was a bit limited, especially with appetizers, but we went with the mussels from Prince Edward Island, and they were incredible. Seriously, some of the best I’ve had. That said, the portion of bread they served alongside was laughably small, especially for a dish made to share. For our mains, we ordered two different burgers, both medium rare, and unfortunately, they were both overcooked. It was disappointing because the burgers themselves were huge and packed with flavor. The fries, though, were excellen
This spot is truly a hidden gem! I can’t recommend this restaurant enough. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with genuine warmth. The owners are incredibly friendly and make you feel right at home. The staff is nothing short of amazing; their positive energy, attentiveness, and passion for what they do really elevate the entire dining experience. And the food? Absolutely outstanding. They’re known for their amazing menu items. Whether you’re stopping by for a casual meal or celebrating something special, this place never disappoints. If you’re looking for exceptional service, a welcoming atmosphere, and unforgettable food, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit. Highly, highly recommend! - Umar Kareem
What a great spot! Food was excellent, bar service was both convivial (love Brianna!) and creative. Also nice background live music. We will be coming back. Steak was medium instead of medium rare, that’s the only complaint I have.
We were in town for the eclipse and had the great good fortune to find the Blue Paddle moments from our campground. We had dinner on Friday night and it was so amazing we returned for brunch on Sunday. The Friday night PEI mussels were out of this world and absolutely the best mussels I have EVER had - including many enjoyed over the years on PEI. Chef Phoebe's presentation is the key and is not to be missed if you are fortunate enough to dine at the Blue Paddle on Friday or Saturday night. Lobster Benedict was equally amazing with a very generous amount of lobster and very tasty hollandaise for the win at our table for Sunday brunch. The vibe of this restaurant feels very much like home and the places of my youth in New Hope PA with a lot of fun and incredible art including some ver
