It seems that Brian Held always wanted to be a chef. Even as a small child, he was drawn to cooking. It is not surprising, then, that he ended up attending the prestigious CIA - The Culinary Institute of America - on a Wine Spectator scholarship. After graduation in 1995, Brian developed his skills and cooking style in regional kitchens including The River Club in New Brunswick, NJ, before opening Juliana Rose in Richboro, PA in 2001.

Now, Brian is committed to a change: a change of location, style, and menu. He has taken his skills to Lambertville, NJ to a new BYOB restaurant called, simply, Brian's. The setting is less formal, with an exposed kitchen and a wood fired oven. The feel is more intimate. And the menu is profoundly influenced by the rustic country fare of Provence and Northern Italy. One thing has not changed: dinner at Brian's remains an unbeatable combination of great food and superb value.

Choose from truly innovative and delicious cuisine…Sweetbreads Milanese, Spinach and Sheep’s Milk Ricotta Ravioli with Lemon and Pine Nuts, Roasted Squab over Wild Mushroom Risotto with Cherries. During the weeknight Brian adds an assortment of wood oven pizzas such as Red Pepper, Goat Cheese and Leek or Arugula and Prosuitto.

Your table at Brian’s is ready!
