Outstanding on soooo many levels. We celibrated my sons birthdays as a family and sat in a round table/booth with my 2yr old grand daughter enjoying having wide berth on the half round couch portion. Special mention of our server, Amy, who was able to personality was vibrant and made it fun and interesting for us all! And a walk through Grounds for Sculpture afterward was exceptional! More celibrations to come at Rats!

The restaurant was louder this time due to a large holiday party in the back half of the restaurant. But food and service were excellent as usual.

Other than a loud, disruptive group in the room (everyone cheered when they left) it was a very nice evening. The food was well prepared and ample, and the server affable. In fact, we established a new First Date Anniversary tradition: dinner at Cranbury Inn!
