    We always love coming here. It is our favorite restaurant in Princeton. Because it is not downtown, parking is easier and there is more room and comfort inside. The food, service and drinks are always great. Thank you and we will be back.

    Food and service were top-notch. Our server was appropriately attentive and the timing of receiving our drinks, appetizers, and entrees was just right. We were there early for dinner because of our evening plans and there was a lively crowd at the bar. There also appeared to be a company holiday party, so the noise level was probably higher than normal, but it did not affect our ability to have table conversation. At our table we had three different entrees, and each was deemed "delicious", as were the appetizers. I recommend you try it, for me it is definitely worth a return visit.

    We had a party of 4. We made reservations for 730 and was informed that the kitchen was a little backed up and that we had to wait a few minutes to be seated, which we did not have any problem with. Its a good sign to me when a restaurant is crowded - it means that they are doing something right. So which we understood. Our appetizers and entress came out quickly, and everyone loved their meal. Staff is very accommodating. We asked to move our table to the back of the dining room where there was less foot traffic and much less noise. We will return for sure.
