“ it was a lazy Sunday afternoon in New Hope and we stopped into the Oldstone for a glass of Prosecco and some dessert. I left after a full tour from Heath, the GM, a delicious chocolate chip cookie bake and a promise to return. I look forward to returning at night, having dinner upstairs next to the altar of this old renovated church. A beautiful room and I can only imagine what it looks like going full tilt. As a restaurant professional myself, I thought that the warm welcome, delicious food and friendly atmosphere shows what a well run business the Oldstone a steakhouse is. well done! ”
“ Spent a pleasant afternoon with Heath and Dawn! Enjoyed some fine wines and scrumptious desserts. The service was outstanding! ”
“ We have a wonderful evening at the Oldestone tonight. Drinks were exceptionally well made, the food was delicious and the desserts were on point. Between the four of us, we had 3 filets and 1 dry aged cowboy steak with sweet potato souflei, spinach and brussel sprouts for apps. The flour less chocolate cake and pumpkin ice cream finished us off. Oh, that and rattlesnake shots- so good! Everything was really very good and our waitress was so helpful. I think her name was Rebecca? We will be back! ”
“ Wow! What a great choice for a nice Christmas dining experience!! My wife always wanted to dine here. First is the decor. Well decorated for Christmas. Such a beautiful converted old church into a restaurant. We have had drinks in the bar area on the 1st. floor here, some years back and loved it. So we made our dinner reservations for Christmas night 2024. We were directed to the upstairs dining room. It was gorgeous! The atmosphere, the decorations. As we were being seated, we noticed our jingle bell on a lanyard at our beautiful place settings. Great touch! As was the Christmas music playing in the background. The entire staff was friendly from our hostess (who also can check in your coats) to our servers Michael & Max. Michael & Max were excellent. They were very attentive to any of our needs. They were very friendly & professional. Michael gave us the best suggestions for our meals & dessert. The steaks he suggested were excellent. He was so knowledgeable of the differences of how they were prepared. They came prepared perfectly. The sides we ordered were great. I loved the sautéed spinach & mashed potatoes. Delicious. A garlic hint in both. I figured I may finish my 20 oz. steak, but I was surprised to see my wife finish hers. It was that good. The dessert was a 24 Ct. (Carrot) Cake. Wow! It tasted delicious. The icing drizzled across it just made it perfect. Our compliments to the Chef & The Baker!!! Thanks so much to Michael, Max & the entire staff. I worked a job for years that took me away from family & friends at Christmas time. We appreciate you being there so my wife and I (and we could see many of other people seated around us) have a wonderful (Christmas) dining experience. Looking forward to a future return visit. ”
“ What a wonderful experience! I truly don't understand the lower ratings. Our service, first and foremost, was excellent. Upon check-in, we were offered coat check, then escorted right away to our table upstairs. We were then immediately greeted by one of our two (2) servers, who offered us complimentary champagne for our anniversary. The service was attentive all evening, never letting our water or wine glasses run half full. As for food, everything was great - starting with the complimentary bread (though the odd # of pieces was a little strange.) We had one half dozen of oysters, which our server described exactly. Our steaks were perfectly cooked/as ordered, and were flavorful, as were our sides (Brussels/bacon and truffle parm fries - get both!) My only reason for not giving 5 stars was the cook on my lobster tail- it was slightly undercooked and the old bay seasoning was not necessary / should've been optional. Overall, we were pleasantly surprised by especially given the other reviews. The food was close to perfect and the service was excellent from start to finish. The space (converted church) was also interesting and unique! We will definitely be back! ”
“ We were visiting new hope & staying next door at the Logan inn. I had read reviews prior to coming in yelp & wanted to try. I called same day for reservations & they were able to accommodate 4 adults 2 children 1 child on high chair. Service was great & our waitress was very friendly. She made great recommendations. My husband and I decided to split so I got the crab cakes & he got the cowboy rib eye 20oz! Plenty of food. We also had a baked potato loaded on side & my crab came with asparagus. The dirty martini was delicious also with blue cheese stuffed olives. Beautiful inside with high ceilings & decor is old School church (inside an old church) I would definitely go back. ”
“ We had dinner here while visiting New Hope, PA. It's a restaurant located in an old church although there were no religious themes - other than the base architecture. The wine-by-glass selection was decent. Based on the steak prices, this a higher-end restaurant. My wife ordered the smallest cut as she can only eat some much - a 12ox filet mignon if I recall. She enjoyed it. I was going to order a 16oz NY strip steak which was $65. The waiter suggested the "Butcher's Cut' - also a strip steak. I don't recall the differentiation, but it wasn't much. He didn't mention the price and I didn't ask. I was a bit surprised to see a $95 charge for it on the bill. Other than that, the service was excellent. We would return should we be in the area again. ”
“ Multi level restaurant in an old church, so lots of steps to go between different rooms/bars. In the upper level, the centerpiece is the large mural. Bar staff were great and able to make some high tier rare cocktails, which is always appreciated. Ribeye was cooked nicely and a decent quality cut. Family style sides were okay. Waitstaff all around great. Was a decent experience. Thanks ”
