I took my parents out for dinner tonight for a belated Father's Day celebration. My father requested going to Martine's in New Hope, PA. For anyone that hasn't been there, New Hope is a really quaint town that is part artist colony and part tourist mecca. Over the years, it has grown in popularity and seems to attract more and more people. Sitting right along the Delaware River, it is a nice scenic town to spend the day walking, shopping, and eating.
Martine's was really great... everyone was pleased with their meal (that's no small wonder). My parents have lived in that area for 20 years and I can't believe I have never eaten there before. They have a beautiful deck that sits on the river and it was the perfect place to be eating on the first nice night we have had in a couple of weeks! What did we have, you ask...
I had the Pork Medallions (Hatfield Prime Reserve medallions marinated in ginger and sesame, topped with apricot glaze, served with sweet potato fries and wasabi aïoli), my father ordered Farfalle Pasta (Tossed with sun dried tomato flavored sausage and braised escarole in a white wine and tomato caper sauce with Pecorino-Romano), and my mother and grandmother both chose the Salmon (Pesto topped and slow roasted, served with a yellow pepper and shellfish sauce, rice pilaf and asparagus).
If you are ever in the area, I highly recommend it!
