EASTON, Pa. — With the city of Easton and the Delaware and Lehigh rivers as a backdrop, the rooftop floor of the Commodore building, 100 Northampton St., is preparing to open an indoor/outdoor restaurant this fall with seemingly as much emphasis on the view as the food.

  • Thyme Rooftop Grille plans to open in fall 2023
  • From the rooftop floor of the Commodore, views of the city and rivers will add to the dinner experience
  • Thyme management is now hiring

Thyme Rooftop Grille, a sister to Grille 3501 in South Whitehall and Zest Bar + Grille in Bethlehem, plans to offer indoor and three-season outdoor dining on its balcony from which Easton's Downtown and College Hill are visible, according to a written announcement from owners, the Trapani family.

    Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows will provide river views. Décor, and the name of the restaurant is largely dictated by a "life-sized see-through clock that serves as inspiration for our name and showcases the Delaware River," Mara Trapani said.

    Thyme plans to stick with a dinner menu most of the week, with brunch being served on Saturdays and Sundays, as well.

    "A life-sized see-through clock serves as inspiration for our name and showcases the Delaware River below."

    Owners said the menu will be "New American" cuisine and will share some favorites from Zest and Grille 3501.

    Management is now hiring for the fall. For information, visit Thyme's website.
