“Amazing food and great service! We tried most of the vegetarian appetizers and they were all outstanding! For main course we ordered Malai Kofta and Daal Tadka and they were good too! Their homemade rasmalai was excellent! Service was spot on! The manager Rushit was very friendly and attentive! The ambience was very cool too! Highly recommend this place!“

“Attached to the Marketfair Mall, Seasons 52 of Princeton offers a peaceful dining experience, even for large groups and leans more towards light options, such as salads, along with seafood and vegetarian options.We were there for a birthday party with a large group of about 12 people, but the staff managed our group well and accommodated our requests, including easily splitting the check at the end of the night.We found ourselves in the back room, which was nice, but it felt a bit odd with people from the mall walking by and peeking in at the large window peers into a mall entrance, which gave a slightly uncomfortable feeling of being watched.The cocktail selection was nice, mostly looked as it was catering to wine connoisseurs as I didn't see a beer list. I opted for their Bourbon & Berries cocktail which worked though in hindsight I should have gone for bourbon on the rocks.As for the food, I opted for the lamb, which was flavorful, though perhaps a tad more salty than I prefer. Overall, it was a delicious meal that satisfied my hunger. While I don't frequent Seasons 52 often, this experience has me considering another visit in the future.“

“This one got by me.... We brought my uncle here Memorial Day weekend last year, and I've got the photos to prove it. We chose this restaurant based on a local who felt they had improved a lot from years ago. I may have been here before but the fog of time does not allow me to recall. But a few months removed I do recall a very nice experience the 4 of us had. We sat outside on a warm spring Saturday and enjoyed well prepared if not well served fare. We chalked the poor service up to the holiday weekend, but even so, business was slow so it really could have been better. But when not in a hurry, these things can be overlooked occasionally. I had to try a pie, the personal size Margherita with garlic was perfect. Crispy crust that held steady when hoisted. robust sauce and plenty of fresh mozzarella. My cousins both got huge entree salads that looked great, fog again here..., and my uncle a pasta dish that he enjoyed and had 2 more meals from. I finished with my fav chicken sand of the year. Very good brioche roll, nicely fried chicken breast with well thought out toppings and very good fries. We all agreed that we would come back, and the person who recommended this has been and to similar good experiences. I had just recommended this to a coworker when I noticed that I forgot to post a review last year. I hear there is music on the weekends too, sadly NOT byob though. Even so, I'll return...“

“This was my 3rd time here...always a GREAT experience. The waitress tonight Asia was EXCELLENT and patient with my 8yr old little lady inquiring about different things on the menu and making her decision with her meal.I will always recommend this restaurant and return! Everything is GREAT and it's close to home! Well worth the $$$Parking: They have a huge lot with plenty of parking...and it's free“

“This is my second visit to The Dinky Bar and Grill in Princeton which offers great views of the campus. We were going to see a play at McCarter and it is so convenient being across the street. The Dinky has an intimate vibe. Being the original Train Depot the feel of the place is still a train depot which I love. The menu is limited but certainly enough to choose from. There are shareable plates as well full entrees. Very good food and drinks. Our server Kayla was amazing. She needs to be recognized because she was extraordinary. A very busy place pre theater but Kayla never stopped smiling Great experience all around. Will definitely be going again.“

“The energy, vibe, and service is unmatched. The bartenders (especially Henry) perform their jobs with passion and expertise. Along with charisma and personality. Every time I come to the bar I learn something new about a particular drink and where it originates or the historical relevance to the name or how it was made. The drinks are absolutely delicious and if you ask the bartenders to make you something custom based on your preferences then they will gladly do so. I highly recommended coming here for drinks at the bar or restaurant if you are by yourself, with friends, or on a date. The food is excellent and I have never been disappointed with anything that I have eaten after many visits to the bar for food and drinks.“

“Had a special birthday party here on a Saturday afternoon. Everything was fantastic! We brought a special birthday dessert from an outside buainess and the manager and waiter were extremely helpful and gracious with serving it. Very impressed and will definitely be back.“

“Had my son's 30th Birthday party there. We had a great time with family and friends. Our server Gaby and the bartender Caitlyn were outstanding always attentive polite and professional . I will definitely be back to enjoy more of there wings and beers on tap!!“

“Best-value and best tasting coffee offered around campus/town - an important accolade when even the campus-run outlets are draining bank accounts for very basic offerings. Important for new or unfamiliar campus staff to know that all are welcome, even though it is in the basement of the "Campus Club" building.“

“This spot has been a family favorite for decades. My uncle sometimes drives up from Virginia and back just to pick up a pie.It is the best pizza and such a fun atmosphere. We even took our Italian friends here and they said it was the most authentic pizza they have found in the states. Cannot recommend Conte’s enough.Thank you Conte’s for so many years of good times and great food!“

“Food is all decent if I haven't found a spectacular item yet. Shepherd's pie special today, could have used a little more seasoning and it was very dry at the bottom which I was not used to... Usually there's some juice there with the beef or lamb. Still was very good, as usual the bartenders are top-notch, food comes out piping hot (just the way the Flaming Carrot likes it), and Hightstown is a great little New Jersey town. If you're down from New York, you can throw rocks at the ducks in the lake out back.“

“Let me first say that I love this place.. But I have to say that "some" of that staff shouldn't tend bar anywhere... On the planet..I asked for a rum and coke on a rocks glass...I was presented with either a shot glass or a pilsner...3 ounces of total drink..... Remember I like this place... Well except "some"if the bar staff.... Get real rocks glasses...No pictures allowed so just imagine a fool bringing you a shot glass as if it was ok to be a rum and diet Coke“

“Enjoyed my lunch at Spice Rack Indian Fusion in Franklin Park, although I think an actual lunch sized menu would enhance the business model here. Their hybrid cuisine reflects the geopolitical realities of North Indian and Nepal, where hot spices overlap creating a delicious amalgam of curry and chili. The Chili Chicken (Dry), medium heat, was full of pepper, onion and chopped red chili, with lightly crisp deep red chunks of chicken. I added more traditional Indian fare with Veggie Samosa and Garlic Naan. Everything was tasty, even though the robot delivery was a momentary surprise. The dining room was modern and attractive with colored recessed lighting and redundant human service that followed the robot and moved the plates food from machine to table. Actually oddly humorous, because my response was to take the plate off the rolling tray myself, but realized the server was also standing there and reaching for the platter as I was. I deferred and let the guy do his job, despite the minor awkwardness. I am not sure why management adds an 18% gratuity directly to the bill for a solo customer, but I found it off putting, especially in the context of lacking a less expensive lunch menu that forces diners to spend more for the meal, and then denies the option of allowing them the freedom to chose the size of the tip. Perhaps that helps explain why there were so few people there on a Friday afternoon. Very good food. Some questionable business choices. 3.5 STARS“

“This is my favorite dive bar in the area. Drinks are cheap, there is plenty to do (pool, Jenga, arcade game, foosball, trivia, and occasionally a DJ for dance music), and the locals are just chill as hell. The bar tenders don't love their job, and you can tell, but the owner takes care of you (usually by giving you quarters for your pool game or a free shot). You're more likely to be sent a free shot by the daily visiting 75 year old man who just wants to cheers someone than a 21 year old horn ball who wants to take you back home to his place. I'm not saying the 21 year old isn't there, he is, but he sits harmlessly at the table (absolutely sloshed) and just stares at you while you play pool. Great place to grab a drink and have fun with friends but it's not the kind of place where "I met your mother".“

“Nothing has changed here in 20+ years (and that's a good thing!). Always good food at a reasonable price. Some of the best burgers around. An attentive and friendly Waite staff. Decor right out of the mid-80"s (again, not a bad thing). It's a comfortable place where you just fit in, whether you are here for the first time or an old timer.“

“Went here for our weekly date night on a Wednesday evening. Nice place with very good atmosphere. There was a piano player singing while we were there and some couples dancing.Server (Hector) was very attentive and didn't forget our additional requests.There's a separate dining area next to the bar area if you want it a little quieter. I like how the hostesses automatically sat groups around the outside of the dining area, knowing that most people don't like to sit in the middle.Probably best to stick with bar food. They offer more "upscale" options - which is commendable - but maybe should keep it simple.Seems like a lot of regular locals frequent this place - maybe we will join their ranks!“
