Anzu Social - New Hope, PA — Restaurant in New Hope

If I could give a 3.5 I would. We ate at Anzu Social last night and had mixed feelings. The food was really good. We split the crab rangoon, charred spicy edamame and short rib dumplings and all of them were delicious. The entrees (beef and broccoli and kimchi shrimp stir fry) were both very tasty. The beef and shrimp were cooked perfectly. The sushi was the only thing I was not impressed by. I ordered the spicy tuna roll, received the yellowtail roll instead, and it was just bland.

Now for the not-so-good. The service. This was probably the worst service I've received at a restaurant in some time. I acknowledge it was Valentine's Day so that's always tough on a busy restaurant. That said, our waitress was highly inattentive the entire night. She got our sushi order wrong, but she was nowhere to be found when we tried to let her know. We asked her three times for water until she finally brought it, and then didn't leave the carafe. After we placed our entree order, we didn't see her again until we were done. Appetizers and sushi were brought over with no plates or soy sauce/accompaniments. We were tucked away in a corner but she came over to the other tables around us multiple times and didn't acknowledge us, ask how things were, etc. When we finished our meal, it took her about 15 minutes to clear our plates.

I would recommend folks go, and perhaps sit at the bar or go on a less busy night. The food is good, but that was a service experience that definitely stuck out to...

Where do I begin. I am a local, and eat out every Friday, Saturday and Sunday anywhere from Reigelsville down to New Hope/ Lambertville, and west towards Newtown, Warminster, and Doylestown areas. Sad that this place is owned by The Logan Inn since The Logan Inn is far superior in every aspect. We will start with the hostess...an absolutely awesome person greeting people as you come in, but went downhill from here. The ambiance is great, but quite a loud atmosphere. Our drinks took 35 minutes to come out, and they had 2 bartenders, and the place was only 3/4 full. Both mine and my fiancee drinks were horrible. Plus, our appetizers came out before our drinks. The pear martini had not one hint of pear...tasting completely floral. The old fashioned was weak. Then my fiancee specifically said she would have the dumplings for an appetizer, and the spicy tuna roll as her entree. Well, both items came out as appetizers. The dumplings were decent, but the tuna roll was subpar, and not a real tuna roll. The pork chop was blah. The banana spring roll desert was plantains, and not good. The only incredible food at this establishment was the strawberry dessert. Maybe this was all because the place is only a month old, but knowing it's part of The Logan Inn, I thought the same perfect service there would carry over to here. Too many flaws on our...

Oh just not good, so sad. Very cool venue, nice ambiance, great waiter who unfortunately was over his head because lack of servers. Apps were great, got the Tuna tartare and the crab Rangoon. For entrees we got the Orange Chicken and the Beef Bulgogi. The manager brought the plates and said “sorry for the delay”. We didn’t think there was one, till we started eating. Both stone cold, the protein and the rice. I even put my finger to the bottom of the rice, stone cold at the bottom. We sent them back. My husband’s was scalding hot, most likely microwaved, mine… still stone cold. I got some song and dance how it was supposed to be cold and was I not told? No I was not and not only have I eaten all over the world and have never been served this dish cold but I also hold a culinary degree with a concentration in Asian food. No, we don’t serve stone cold rice and beef and if we did let’s at least state that and I wouldn’t have ordered it. In my opinion the chef just didn’t care or they were so lacking in severs our food sat there for a good half an hour before getting to us. I don’t buy it was “supposed to be cold”. My husband was trying to be polite but his Orange Chicken was all gristle. The manager did take it all off the bill but after a weekend away and excited to eat a good meal this was meh at best....
