wonderful spicy gazpacho,scotch blossoms cooked perfectly(so lightly fried best ever tasted.) Sword fish blackened excellent. Asapargus tasted amazing.So many times they have no taste.Tiramusi was just okay,A little heavy for my taste. Overall A plus service also seamless and friendly.The wine list is fairly priced We will return soon.

We started going to this restaurant when it opened. It has maintained consistently high standards through the years. Celebrating our anniversary, we had a friendly and informative waiter. Lovely cocktails, wonderful ambiance. The shrimp and grits dish was as good as anything I've had in Charleston.

Dinner was perfect. So many great menu options and specials, as well as wine. Dessert was amazing, as well as the service.

I ate outside, with my fiancée! We enjoyed the service as she was extremely attentive! We were the only ones outside, right at 5 PM! I enjoyed the shrimp and grits! Superb! And my fiancée partook in the house burger and loved it! This was our first time, but not our last! Definitely try it!

Outstanding food and service!!! It's the best meal I have had in the Princeton area in the last 20 years.

The ambiance at the restaurant is warm and inviting, and the food was truly excellent—especially the flounder with lemon beurre blanc, which was a standout. The pork chop and steak could have used a touch more seasoning, but they were still very tasty and well-prepared. The drinks are generously poured and nicely strong, which I appreciated. The only slightly off note in an otherwise lovely experience was that shortly after we were seated around 5:15, a hostess came by to let us know the table would need to be turned by 7:30. While I understand the intent was to set expectations, the timing of the message felt a bit rude. Our party of five was finished and out the door by 6:40, so it ended up being a non-issue, but I think the hostess could have handled it with a bit more finesse.

Great meal. I did forget the escargot is served in a broth like liquid that makes the dough its cooked in doughy. It would be better in dry pastry covering or just garlic in an escargot plate. Otherwise the food was exceptional. Our attentive server Marilyn made our meal all the better.
James
Great food and service. Highly recommend. Beef, lamb and pasta were all top notch. Try the grilled oysters.

The basement is more quiet and good space between tables. Upstairs tables are very close together. We all enjoyed the food. The fish was a bit overcooked but meal was tasty.
AJ
Everything was delicious and service was good but we definitely felt rushed. And start to end we were probably there just a little over an hour. For a Saturday night with a bottle of good wine (half taken home) the push to hurry us along seemed unnecessary.
Exceptional food every time. No one has foie gras ... one 53 has foie gras. And it's awesome! He's a happy man! A lovely evening on the new patio. Will be back again and again.

A great time at the annual rose' tasting. The vendors are super friendly and informative. Dinner afterwards was excellent. Sat at the bar which is always a fun time. My flat iron steak was cooked to perfection. Thank you!

A favorite restaurant of ours. I ordered one of my usual favorites the flat iron steak. I have to say the steak was smaller than it was in the past. I also asked for rare/medium rare and it was more medium rare/well. It seems the prices have certainly crept back up. I know everywhere is expensive but we both walked away going wow ha.

I typically love it there. I come for the ribeye. It is a special but often available. I have had it about five times prior, delicious every time. For whatever reason, last night it was the opposite. It was strange, but it was poorly cooked and tough. I left half the steak. I can't imagine why. The new citrus salad is great, stuffed calamari now on the menu also great. Unfortunately, we might not rush back given the ribeye.
