In 2019, Christopher and Melissa opened Canal House Station, a hidden gem tucked into an elegantly restored 1870s train station on the banks of the Delaware River in tiny Milford, NJ. Their idiosyncratic, modern American cuisine is inspired by local ingredients that are ripe and in season in Hunterdon and Bucks County. They are two women, cooking together, and sharing their love of gathering people around the table to eat good food. They have been nominated twice for a James Beard Foundation “Best Chef: Mid Atlantic” award.
Based on 73 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.7 stars. Price

Friends invited me to join them for Sunday Brunch, called Sunday Dinner at Canal House, and I’m glad they did. It was a very good meal and the service was excellent. Seating options indoors, outdoors on patio, or a limited number of tables on an outside balcony, which is where we ate. In the photos you’ll see the Sunday Dinner menu and each of the courses with exception of the Chevre Croustades, which I forgot to photograph as I was too busy eating them! The menu is fixed price and while I’m told there are sometimes options for the main, today’s menu and courses were as shown. All the courses were very good, the salmon was perfectly prepared, and the service was spot on. When dishes were brought to the table, two or three wait staff assured everyone was served at exactly the same time. The team approach to servicing the table is something I always appreciate.

The ambiance, the food, the people- Everything was just perfect! The food is incredibly comforting at a high level of execution. One of the best duck preparations we have ever had and a dessert with a surprise inside (ahhh I didn’t take a picture). There is one small minus, I wish this place would of been closer but is definitely worth the trip from NYC!

If you think reading and learning from a Canal House cookbook by Melissa & Christopher is a treat, just wait until you actually eat their food! An unbelievable experience from the moment you enter. Chicken sandwich, deviled eggs- thank me later! Can’t wait to go back!

We love this beautiful restaurant! Every meal here is so special. The menu changes frequently to highlight new foods when they are fresh and in season. The pace of the meal is perfect and the atmosphere in the restaurant is so beautiful. Don’t forget to stop and smell the citrus blooming in the lobby in the winter months.

Delicious food and very friendly service. Attentive waitstaff in a beautiful setting. My only suggestion is that the 4-course meal was served over about 3 hrs… a little slow on pace. I can see how other patrons may like that pace , but the gap between courses was sometimes 20-25 minutes.
