Ambler Donut Company???!!
I hope the donuts are good! That would be exciting! Hey, speaking of donuts, where are there really good ones?
Who has the Best Fresh-Baked Pies?
J Scones in Doylestown behind Cross Keys Diner had good pies
Good ice cream at Tabora Farm
Get the cones, not the pints IMO. Got a pint recently and the texture was not creamy. It's airy and icy. That's the 2nd time (out of 2 pints), so I don't recommend those for what they cost. Flavors good tho
Tabora Orchard
It's a good place, but not everything's great. It's worth going to IMO. I disagree about the crabcakes. I get them sometimes and they are full of big white chunks of crab. There are a lot of very good things there, and you can mostly tell by looking which they are.

Me too. Kind of weird how some of them are so good and some are so not. Some of it tastes real and from scratch, but some of the fillings in the pastries are like commercial crap out of a can or something. All in all a dandy place to go tho

Got a cone the other day when it was so warm out-- they said they just started making it again after a winter off. I had coconut-chocolate-chip cookie and it was delicious. The other flavors looked pretty tempting- can't remember what they were, but one was raspberry brownie and there was some black raspberry (also some scary-looking electric pink peppermint).
Maize Restaurant in Perkasie
Wifey and I went there and it was pretty good (REALLY good for Perkasie), but pretentious and very slow for the food to come out, and I DO understand that homemade, high-quality food takes time. This was beyond that and then some. The waiter was annoyingly fawning, and had to prove that he had a brain and was normally a schoolteacher. Well that's fine mister, but could you just deliver the food please? We'll give it another shot sometime. The ingredients were high quality, if sometimes poorly balanced. If an ingredient sounds sexy but doesn't add anything to the dish (or if you can't taste it), then why bother? Just to make people who don't know better go "ooooohhh"?

Menu for opening night looks pretentious. "Forked potatoes"? Come on.
Old Bethlehem Road Hotel (OBR): Promising!
Yeah, on the north side of the lake. Price range is around 8 or 9 dollars to the most expensive thing on the menu, that special I had, $20 (for 3 courses). I love the place but before you go for your anniversary, understand that it's more bar than restaurant. There aren't that many menu options, at least now. Most of it's sandwiches. There is a dining room in back, but I've just eaten in the bar area so far.
Hmmm, I wonder what's going on with the Elephant!
Old Bethlehem Road Hotel (OBR): Promising!
Very nice cozy place! Went with some friends tonight. Friendly diverse crowd. Had the "date night" special which was very good: rosemary-horseradish encrusted prime rib, maple-glazed brussels sprouts, twice baked potato, good hearty vegetable soup, raspberry-walnut torte with real whipped cream. Shared some "popcorn pork" with spicy mustard dipping sauce. It wasn't some frozen yucky thing, but real crispy pork bits on a bed of sauteed onions. My wife had the crabcakes, which were Real. They have lots of cheap, more bar-type food like Cuban sandwiches, burgers, and our friends were very happy with those (homemade chips!) The fries were just eh. I don't think they need me to post on here-- the place really seems like it's hopping.
