Marsha Brown Creole Kitchen and Lounge 
15 South Main Street - New Hope, PA 18938

This is one of the fanciest restaurants in town, and one of the best tasting.  The facility, a 125 year old stone church right in the center of New Hope, Pennsylvania features a main dining room with 40-foot ceilings, an impressive 30-foot mural, antique furnishings and stained glass windows.  The painting on the wall is a local artist's interpretation of St. George Slaying the Dragon.
We sat on the second floor, and there are actually a total of 3 floors.  The biggest area is the second floor where the main dining room is, and the first floor is the bar area and a few meeting rooms.
Real Gumbo Ya Ya. What says New Orleans better than gumbo? Chicken, andouille sausage and rice in a slow cooked Cajun roux.  My uncle ordered this dish which he stated was excellent. He orders gumbo frequently so I trust his judgement here.
The shrimp cocktail was decent as well,  not extraordinary, but decent.
For my main course I got the special, a Chilean Sea Bass with a risotto type sweet, cheesy sauce.  Perfectly complimented the fish.
French Quarter Surf and Turf: Twin filet medallions paired with a heavenly crab cake and crawfish risotto. My uncle's main course which he said was delicious.

Of Note:
 The downstairs bar area was very well appointed.
 Lush side meeting rooms.
Some spaces downstairs for diners who prefer a more bar type environment.
