“My daughters and I went there because we were having a rough day and wanted to just get out of the house and what a great experience we had .Our waiter Reise was super funny, had such great positive energy that transmitted to us. Our food came out fast and tasted great ! We left out of there smiling and happy with the food and service. As a business owner myself I understand the importance of having great customer service , giving the customer something beyond a service is anlso anbout the experience they receive and Reise def had that down ! My 12 year old said wow mom he is the best waiter we ever had and we eat out a lot and have had some pretty bad services before.. We never know what someone is going through so is important to always show kindness.. thank you Reise for going beyond your job and showing my girls and I kindness and positive energy and even words of encouragement..Keep being a light the right people will value that we sure did 🫶🏼“

“Maynor was amazing and you could tell he truly knew what he was doing and genuinely cared about serving us well. The food was fresh and full of flavor, especially the truffle flatbread and the roasted potato ravioli, both simple and delicious in the best way. The apple cider donut with homemade ice cream was super good and felt like the perfect comforting ending. The drinks were great too, especially the spiced pear gin with a really nice balance of ginger and botanicals. Overall it just felt like a warm, welcoming place in Princeton where everything comes together naturally.“

My husband has a laundry list of food allergies and Steve came out to offer alterations he could make to the menu items to accommodate us. Everyone there was so friendly and the cocktail and food we had was all fresh and delicious. I could have the parmesan tomato soup everyday for the rest of my life and be happy, it was the best I have ever had. Thank you for a great lunch experience, we will definitely be back!“

“When it arrived, the quesadilla was golden brown and crisply seared, with a perfect balance between a crunchy outer shell and a slightly chewy texture. The tortilla had that inviting, buttery aroma that hinted at a satisfying bite. It was cut into even triangular sections, with gooey cheese stretching between them, making it visually appetizing. On the side, T-Dubs includes the best salsa.“
