It is an awesome spot. Great interior, very cool bar. Staff & service : wonderful. Dinner was really really great. We had the cucumber salad, Brussels sprouts ( really great preparation ) the ragu ( excellent but it is not a traditional Italian presentation) and shrimp dish. We would order them all again. Definitely a restaurant to visit.

Had a great experience, both of us had the flank steak and at our server's suggestion ordered it medium (instead of our usual-medium rare) and it was prepared perfectly and so flavorful. Our server was attentive but not intrusive. Loved the atmosphere as well. Very enjoyable experience and would definitely return.

Principle was outstanding in every aspect! Our first visit and we were blown away by the care and precision in prep and presentation. My companion and I both chose the market fish entree, trout, and it was beautiful and delectable. Perfectly cooked, sides well chosen and just the right amount. So flavorful. The cheddar biscuit appetizer was also out of this world. Wish I lived in town. This place rocks.
