Hopewell Valley Bistro & Inn — Restaurant in Hopewell

Was excited to try this place since it has Hungarian food in the menu. Once arriving, the inside is out dated and a little depressing. There were other patrons seated. Once seated we were welcomed and ask about our drink order immediately. On a Saturday night, they didn’t have too much of a crowd but were out of items already “sold out” from the menu including the chicken paprikas which I originally wanted. We order an order of pierogi, schnitzel , and stuffed cabbage. We got our pierogi which was clearly frozen (I'm assuming Mrs. T’s) . They were pan fried with nothing and had onion in the middle. For about 5 pierogi that was just under $10. Next when we got the main entrees . The schnitzel was ok..(not worth the almost $20) under seasoned with what seems to be boxed mashed potato’s. And my 2 stuffed cabbage rolls with what seemed to be boxed mash potatoes , was made with what I’d call a chicken meatball and no rice.( which was about $16) On the menu it said Rosie’s recipe..

I originally wanted to try the pastries but after what we had, I ended up passing.I was so dissatisfied after we left and walked over to Ottos burgers to get...

I ordered the Greek salad for lunch. It was described as having kalamata olives and a lemon vinigrette dressing over romaine lettuce. Instead of kalamata olives they substituted regular black olives! Instead of the lemon vinegrette dressing they substituted balsamic vinegrette and instead of romaine lettuce it was served over regular salad greens. Very DISAPPOINTING. When I brought it to the attention of the server she was unapologetic and just said that was what they do. Will not be returning here. Also, the pinot grigio tased like it was...

We loved this place about 8 years ago and found ourselves in the area again today. The hungarian dishes are delicious. The kielbasa was the best I have ever had. Everything is homemade. My husband had cream of spinach soup which tasted like it had just been made, super fresh tasting. Even the side of potato salad was homemade. For dessert we had the Esterhazy torte which was incredible. Hopefully it won't be another 8 years before we get back (we live over an hour and...
