They automatically charge tips 20% so the waiter does not have to be good. He was ok! Also kids Mac n cheese was no good. Pasta was so big. Kids are picky and my grandson did not eat that. Overall food was good. Cocktail was not good used cheep gin and scotch. You could taste it.
We got a crab cake, steak and mashed potatoes and everything was delicious 😋 🦀🥩🥔 live music was definitely a plus. We will be going back soon!
We had reservations with some work associates here. Food was very good, service was prompt, atmosphere was comfortable. I enjoyed the fillet mignon tips with mashed potatoes, my partner had the rib and mac n cheese, our table also had a couple appetizers that were very tasty.
Nice area and atmosphere, nearby parking garage. Server was nice but overwhelmed. Nothing was particularly bad, just a lot of little things that make a higher end priced restaurant simply not worth it. Ordered a bottle of cab, it came with two white wine glasses so had to ask to switch. The bread was not good. Oysters and apps were great. Dry aged steak , I am not convinced it was dry aged. Or even aged. BJs sells a better steak. It was actually difficult to cut, I've never experienced that with a premium steak. The server made it seem like the entrees came with a side, but they most certainly were included on the bill. I had noted it was my wife's birthday on the reservation and she ordered a dessert, was looking for maybe a single small candle or a little happy birthday note on the plate but nothing. Table was squeezed next to a large post. If you remove the alcohol the bill was well over $100 pp. Too many other good options to deal with this many misses.
Pear martini and pan roasted salmon and pound cake dessert were all very good.
Blood orange martini and spinach dip were ok, but not worth a repeat for me.

Great food and atmosphere. I’ve eaten here a few times and have enjoyed every meal. Keep in mind it is a high end place, so it’s pricy. Food and service are always great. Calamari is excellent!
Met a couple of friends here, since the Princeton area was halfway between us. The food and service was delightful. We started with the Ahi Tuna and avocado Martini, which was delicious and I had the pulled brisket sandwich. One person had the lobster roll (it was a smaller portion than expected), another had a huge chicken sandwich l, and the last had the steak salad. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch and had a fabulous time. We would come back to the area again to dine here.
It's a very cozy and beautiful restaurant in the center of Princeton. The food was well prepared and tasty, although nothing extraordinary. The service was polite and friendly. Unfortunately, our server forgot one main dish and one drink. Not the worst experience, but wish it didn't happen.
