Not inexpensive, but quite good. My $100+ dinner included three drinks, appetizer, entree, dessert, and cappuccino. Appetizer of fied calamari was among the best I have had. Excellent entree was pasta with truffle sauce special.
Hands down my favorite place in the area! By far beats out the competition in Princeton in terms of ambiance, food and cocktail quality. It's kind of random that it's placed in a shopping center off of Rt 33 however restaurant space is hard to come by these days. Owner is always present and welcoming. Overall it is on the higher end side of dining budgets but worth it.
It's a little pricey but worth it. The place is definitely above average for the restaurants in this area. Do not expect regular everyday food here. However, there is a very good brisket burger for those of us who are less daring. The seating next to the bar is better, along with the small outdoor area.
The food was ok, but the service could improve. Lady was nice enough to bring us napkins, but threw it on the table instead of handing it or placing it down on the table. Hope it was just having a bad day?
Definitely one of the best restaurants in the area! We went there last night on a double date with two of our good friends. Every course was incredible. I wish we could order everything on the menu. The drinks had such deep and smart flavors. Definitely try a couple if you’re a cocktail person. Looking forward to going back again soon!
Much better to sit at the low top tables. The food is just unbeatable in the area, so fresh and generally seasonal/locally-sourced. Bartender is a true mixologist coming up with creative ways to add a little flavor to coktails without overly sweet drinks. This time I went for the duck in a hint of blackberry jus and the carrots with what appeared to be lane. Imagine me kissing my hands fingers. My husband was beyond ecstatic with his steak, a sigh he often orders. It was perfectly cooked and the beat he has had in about a year. Only one hiccup in service, as they forgot a side, but we saw the manager fire it (and term for wxpwditing it) and were no worse for the while.
Amazing Steaks and Craft Cocktails!
My wife and I made a reservation for 7:30 PM on a Sunday night. The dining room and bar were partially full, but it was not the madhouse that I had expected. The ambience was romantic with a dimly-lit atmosphere, fresh flowers, and pin spot lighting projected down to each table.
The beverages program was exceptional. The Oaxaca Smash (mezcal, chai-infused red vermouth, fresh lime juice, agave, and muddled fresh ginger) was tasty and incredibly well-balanced. The Fuyu Martini (vodka, lychee liqueur, St. George spiced pear liqueur, and lavender bitters) - garnished with a fresh flower - was a well-balanced and delicious journey to the Orient. To accompany the steak dinners, we enjoyed glasses of the Californian Treana Cabernet Sauvignon. The glassware, presentation of the wine, and taste were superlative.
On the food side, as an appetizer I enjoyed the Beet Carpaccio, a visually enticing and tasty medley of red and gold beets, radicchio salad, and spiced cashews. The filet mignon, ordered medium, was perfect, and served with horseradish crème fraiche and an artsy scalloped potato. My wife's Rib Eye Steak also scored high points for taste and visual presentation. The culinary journey continued on with a delicious fudge brownie and Irish coffee.
Our waitress, Tracy, was knowledgeable, attentive, and paced the service appropriately so that we could enjoy our experience.
All-in-all, BORO exceeded my expectations, and I rate my experience as a perfect 5 of 5. Everything was exceptional!
The venue also offers private party opportunities. One of our DJ company clients is having their engagement party at BORO this June.
Given that the space is not large, I highly recommend making a reservation. To maximize your experience, you may also want to dine at an off-peak time.

Great upscale restaurant in the area. We went with a group and everyone was satisfied with their food.
I had:
1) one of their salads with avocado, and it was one of the best I have had!
2) chicken breast with potatoes and beans. 4/5. This was flavourful too. I just wish yhe chicken was a bit softer.
3) Brownie. 5/5. Must have! Along with their cappuccino!
4) For appetizers, we had goat cheese croquettes and calamari. 4/5
It's definitely a must go if you want to treat yourself or have a special event coming up. The servers are very accommodating too.
