My favorite restaurant for more than 20 years. I've come with friends, dates, family, and even colleagues. It's a classic, elevated Princeton staple located just a block from campus. There is a parking garage just behind it and another across the street.

What makes this my favorite restaurant:
1. The food is outstanding. The debate at our table is whether we'll do all tapas or paella + papas bravas, our favorite tapa... crispy potatoes...

Great Mediterranean spot with a lovely patio. The patatas bravas, grilled lamb sausage skewers, and fresh bread with olive oil were all delicious and flavorful. Service was friendly, and the atmosphere was relaxed. Highly recommend!

I took 4 teenagers here and they all found something they would eat. The calamari was amazing!! We went during Sunday brunch and it was busy but we got our food quickly and the service was good.
