Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Lawrenceville

Stella has the best food around these parts. The menu has options to suit different tastes and the chefs are willing to make adjustments for individuals needs. The only thing that is irritating is being forced to pay the $30 valet fee to park nearby. If it wasn’t for that Stella dining experience would be perfect!

Our second time at Little Water and quickly becoming our favorite restaurant in the city. Upon walking in, the hostesses greeted us by name and our server knew of our food allergies from our last visit. From their non-alcoholic drink options to every flavor on the menu, each item we ordered was fantastic and just as good as we remembered from the first visit. The fried sea bass is definitely a star of the show and we have literally told no less than 3 dozen people about it lol. I’m not normally one to leave a long detailed review, but Little Water really delivers a phenomenal dining experience in every way — best food/drink and service/hospitality in recent memory no question!

Service was particularly wonderful in the restaurant upstairs , from a rapid welcome to offering drinks, opening our bottle (both options ) to menu and meal delivery . There is a coat rack a little hidden behind the curtain by the bathroom that’s very useful in this cold season. Food was excellent : we shared a salad all ingredients fresh well seasoned more than enough in 2, and each had an entree abundant and delicious the famous burger, Korean version, and the “half chicken “ boneless served with delicious squash purée . Despite being full it was a very pleasant noise level really not loud . I love the lighting and spruce-like wall color We will definitely come again! They have a wonderful couple of private rooms either for a couple or for 6, which could allow privacy for business or simply friendly conversation. When weather I’d look forward to an upgrade of tables - maybe tablecloth and stabilized table foot.

I have never had a bad meal here. Food is consistently delicious. Stacy and all the staff are wonderful and attentive. By far the best restaurant in Ewing and the surrounding areas. My favorite place 🥰 The only negative thing I could say is it’s loud especially on the weekends but it’s a small place with a popular bar so not much that can be done about that.

Our meal was outstanding, as always. At Mistral, my husband and I always share what we order. Today, we especially enjoyed the Crispy Salmon Bites and the Grilled Radicchio Salad. Everything was delicious including my cocktail, the “Louisiana Purchase.” Yum!
