A Hidden Gem in Lambertville - Cocktails, Cuisine & Character All in One Spot! We came to Lambertville, PA on a whim during a trip from Miami, looking to explore a charming small town with history, heart, and hopefully some hidden treasures. With zero expectations and a love for antiquing and supporting small businesses, we were immediately smitten by the cobblestone beauty and old-town charm. But the real gem of this visit? T 54 - a restaurant that completely stole our hearts (and taste buds). From the moment we walked into this quaint little spot that seats no more than 68 people, we knew we were somewhere special. The greeting was warm, welcoming, and relaxed - a "sit wherever you'd like" vibe that instantly made us feel like locals. But then came the moment that made the entire trip: David, the bartender. Let me just say this - if Lambertville has a mayor of cocktails, it's him. I asked David to surprise us with something extraordinary, and WOW did he deliver. First up, the espresso martini - a drink I've had hundreds of times, yet never like this. Smooth, bold, balanced - truly remarkable. I asked him what his next best was and he handed me the Green Hope - a gin-based masterpiece that was bright, herbaceous, and perfectly crafted. Drink three? The showstopper: The Lambertville David-Aayyyy - his own off-menu spin on their Lambertville Rose cocktail, and an absolute knockout. The man is a cocktail magician. Now let's talk about the food. I ordered the burger and fries and let me be real with you - this wasn't just a burger. This was a BURGERRRRR. Perfectly seasoned, juicy, and topped with a torched cheese interior (yes, torched... and yes, it matters), fresh toppings, and a house-made aioli that I wanted to bottle and take home. The fries? Imagine a single potato sliced into thick, golden quarters, crisped and seasoned to perfection. They're rustic, hearty, and addictive. My man had the eggs benedict with prosciutto, and I kid you not - I've never seen a plate licked so clean. It was that good. Like, "don't even need to run this plate through the dishwasher" level good. From the intimate atmosphere to the elevated drinks, and seriously impressive food, T 54 is a place that blends soul, flavor, and genuine hospitality in a way that's rare to find. Whether you're a local or just passing through like us, make the time to visit this place. Ask for David. Trust him. And bring your appetite. This is the kind of place that makes you fall in love with small towns all over again.

Sukie gave us great service at this amazing Lambertville Italian restaurant. A little pricey, but I'll be back!

My wife and I enjoyed T54 so much, we decided to dine here two nights in a row! The food was, as always, right in point. The olive oil cake was perfection. Our waiter, Christopher was very warm and regaled us with more than one entertaining story. The owner, as always was exceedingly welcoming and we shared a nice conversation with him at the end of the evening. We hope to come here for years to come. Each time is magical.

What a find. The service is outstanding. Very professional. The food and drinks are innovative and authentic. Very new and comfortable atmosphere. A must in Lambertville.

This is a cozy little place with a great vibe. Hood was nicely made and attractively presented. The service was excellent. Very friendly and engaging. Definitely worth a visit!!!

Really loved our meal here at the new spot where Deanna's once was in Lambertville. It's an Italian restaurant with an authentic and friendly Italian chef, knowledgeable servers and a full bar. They completely revamped the inside and they also have a large outdoor patio area. The pastas are homemade, the cheese wheels are super fun, the appetizers are filling and classic Italian with a few flairs and great wine selection as well! Highly recommend checking it out for dinner in Lambertville!

This was our first post-Deanna's visit and our first visit in a long time. The bar and dining room renovations are top notch. We were there on a chilly evening so the outdoor patio was closed. The fact that they have a parking lot is nice on busy evenings. We had a reservation but our table wasn't ready so we took seats at the bar while we waited. Our bartender and server were both FANTASTIC. Friendly but not over the top or cheesy. Seemed to know how to read the group. Professionals. Cocktails were great. Not inexpensive. Solid beer list. Beers are all canned and also priced on the high side. The hostess kept us updated on the table wait, promptly fetched us when it was ready, and asked us to settle up at the bar before moving to the table. Our apps and meals were solid. Nothing especially memorable but absolutely good. Portions were reasonable. Silverware was exchanged and the table cleaned between apps and entrees. Expected, for an upscale experience. We had a 4-top table. This gave us a bit of space since two tables were brought together to create it, putting us a bit further from neighboring tables. Otherwise, the dining room layout is CROWDED. Things they could improve on : 1. a couple fewer tables, to create some breathing room. the two-top table spacing is just obnoxious and being elbow-to-elbow with the couple beside you really takes away from the upscale experience that the restaurant is going for. 2. transfer checks from the bar to the table. a restaurant that's pitching an upscale atmosphere should never interrupt the flow of the evening by requiring a transaction. do it once. do it at the end.

Great new spot in lambertville. They have a beautiful outdoor patio with lots of large tables. Huge menu made it hard to decide. They have a great wine and cocktail list. Appetizers were all very tasty. We didn't love the oysters but it could have just been a bad batch. Calamari was so crispy with a great seasoning. Panzanella salad was so fresh. Weird that they offer a cheese or meat board but don't offer them together. We settled in the cheese and everyone was happy with their selection. Dinners were also very good but the duck was a bit too overdone for our liking so be sure to ask for the temp you like when ordering. All of their pasta can be made Gluten free which is nice if that's something you need. Pesto was very good but lots cheese. Make sure to leave room for dessert! They also off lunch and brunch. I'm interested to come back and try again.
