Typical American mid-range restaurant Nothing to complain about but that’s not cooking, that’s just basic, standardized stuff Not cheap however … OK in Princeton since there are not so many options
The witherspoon burger is a must to try: very good price for the quantity, juicy and tasty meat and beautiful fries on the side. Desserts very interesting and huge! Unfortunately found a bit cold inside due to AC, next time will come prepared for this :)
Have been here numerous times. Food quality always top quality and done to perfection. Drinks and wine always spot on. Staff, in all functions, extremely friendly, warm and helpful. Highly recommend.
Overall delicious!!! We had lunch around 1:00 & wasn’t overly crowded. We ate outside and the seating arrangements were good. They were dog friendly and brought my dog out a bowl of water without being asked! We did order an iced tea and it never came.
I ordered the Cabo Grilled Shrimp Salad & it was superb! Wonderfully made and was filling. The shrimp were big but I wish I had 5 or 6 pieces instead of 4.
We got the Baked Five Onion Soup and it was AMAZING. Rich & flavorful! Yum!
The Lobster Bisque soup was great too! It has decent sized pieces of lobster in it so it was very tasty.
My husband got the BBQ Short Rib Sandwich. He said it was delicious, but the BBQ sauce was on the sweeter side. He told me it’s an “8/10.” The pickles that come on the side were soft; we enjoy a good snappy crunch in our pickles.
Overall, this place was awesome and I recommend going! The menu is fresh and there’s enough options for anybody to find something that appeals to them. With the items pictured, our bill was $74 before tip. Great place!!

Went here on a Saturday night and maybe that was my own fault, but if you’re a fine dining type of person you will be disappointed. Service from the host stand to the end of the meal was so displeasing. Literally no one cracks a smile. The service was so slow we decided not to even order anything else after appetizers. We had Nina, once our order was taken, she didn’t return to our table until we were finished, no check in, to order entrees, another drink, nothing. She served a table right next to us, went to take their order but didn’t even check in to see if we wanted to order more food or if we were even satisfied with what we had. After taking the order from the couple next to us she walked by taking our empty dishes but didn’t utter if we needed anything else, I had to basically stop her and let her know our needs. The manager or whom I assumed to be manager walked around and his existence would’ve made more sense if he was actually trying to do something to help. He partially cleared a table and waited for the busser to do the rest. I called to him, he ignored, no inclination to assist. As we looked around which clearly signals in the industry a table is in need of something he just moseyed away. The calamari was great, crab cake was good Brussels returned and maybe it’s a blessing in disguise the waitress never coming back for us to be able to order entrees because that was enough.
Also, We were sat at the high tops by the bar, with an obnoxious group of drunk individuals basically barging in on us. All in all the service made the experience not worth going back.

Brought my children to this restaurant the service was slow , the waitress was horrible and the food only stayed down a block to 7-Eleven. I don’t know who is eating this food to give it a 4 star but I have had better things everything and for the prices that they are charging it should taste better.

Location is perfect and they have great outdoor seating which is awesome. Drink options were very good. The bread offered was cold and we asked for it to be warmed up. We tried their oysters sampler and was very good. Overall a decent experience.

Asked to sit outside and made a reservation for 4:30pm. It was 4:15pm so we had 15 minutes to sit outside. The girls at the front told us that they needed to have the table back by 6:30pm.
At this time we had a stroller and a baby with us. They knew they were making a registration for us when we had a stroller.
4:30pm comes and we go inside for the reservation. The girls tell us that they can’t have the stroller next to the table.
If that was the case then why make us a reservation to begin with knowing we had a reservation and a stroller. Couldn’t even finish my drink. Left it on the table for them to deal with. Absolutely nonsense that they did that.

A very pleasant dining experience. We eat in the "side room" which is small and quiet. The service was excellent, efficient, attentive and friendly. All of the food was well prepared and tasty. The special salad with goat cheese and figs was large enough for two to share. The onion soup had a rich dark broth covered in lots of cheese. The short rib was soft and succulent and smothered with delicious "two hour" mushrooms and onions. The hamburger was large, properly cooked to medium rare, as requested, and accompanied with crisp French fries. An overall dining success.
The specials tend to be hit or miss, but the steaks are normally excellent. And our children love the kids menu.

Music was too loud
My family and I had NY Eve dinner here and overall we enjoyed it! Excellent cocktails, calamari app and Lobster bisque was delicious! Bread is not served warm. Our entres were very good, could have had a little more seasoning, we are all great cooks! 😃 Service and atmosphere was great! Nice live music was a bonus. Love a place to go and dress up a bit! We'll be back!

We were expecting cozy pub food, the food quality was disappointing. Our server was attentive and our order was accurate. We ordered the lobster roll which looking back was probably a mistake, it contained a lot of filler and little lobster. The chicken sandwich sounded good but was a gloppy mess. Disappointing overall.

The host was incredibly rude. He actively did nothing to help and made it seem like he didn’t want us there. Go to Winberie’s instead, they aren’t stuck up and the food is great :)
