My friends and I come to The Dinky often. We always love the service and the drinks. The food is hit or miss. Sometimes very spicy (and I like spicy, but this is another level!) the atmosphere is great for friends to gather and the service is very attentive. I’m writing this review because I want to really thank the manager, Stephen, for making my last visit exceptionally perfect and fun. He took care of a little issue with such professionalism and kindness. Thank you again, Stephen!

Good atmosphere, and had good meals here in the past but quality has definitely gone down… pretty mid-bad food…the sushi rice was mushy, the Cobb salad had zero flavor and tasted like it was made 30 minutes before, and the chicken cigars were honestly glorified tacquitos from 7-11. It tasted like they took the chicken katsu on the menu, grinded it up and put it into a tortilla. Disappointed

5 stars all the way around. This is one of the finest places I’ve been in quite some time. Warm friendly staff , they all work very hard, the manager Maria offered the most hospitality. Go here for a classy good time and some great food.

Justin was amazing! He totally got us in right away and he was so pleasant and he even offered to take a picture of our crew. We were a party of five. Surprise the menu Leeann was our server and she was phenomenal. Everything she suggested was off the charts and her service was exceptional. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience!! Highly recommend! Just Go!

Had reservations & had to wait a moment but the service was very good and polite. The drinks were a bit watery so we only got one each because it didn’t seem worth it to get two, we usually try two each. The food was mid, I genuinely thought the burger was the frozen Tennessee pride slider from my childhood. Still unsure since it was so reminiscent, plus wasn’t asked for doneness. The short rib flatbread was good overall. The architecture is beautiful and probably best for small groups.
I was pleasantly surprised that they had a better variety of craft beers than anywhere else in Princeton. There are not a lot of vegetarian options but the zucchini flatbread is great. The ambiance can be a little loud. I would make a reservation if you are going on a weekend.

We sat outside because the weather was unseasonably awesome that night, oh and because we didn’t have a reservation and it was both parents weekend and the weekend of the Bill Braxton Regatta.
I was happy to because it was a little loud inside (for me) but I’m old man cranky so it is probably fine for most. Food came out hot and quickly and was great. Despite being one of the only tables seated outside the server was super attentive and would check in well before we needed him. Would definitely return!
The menu is a bunch of shareable plates, so not really a single entrée kind of restaurant. It’s quite a pricy place, but the food was good! The vegetable roll (sushi) wasn’t the best—but overall my food was good. 🐈⬛🍷
