I had my anniversary dinner here in May. Although i must say, having recently moved here from NYC, this place is decent i cant say id go back there again. The service was sorta nice but a bit slow and the food was just OK. The price however is on the moderately high side so i expected a lil better. the atmosphere is decent although a bit crowded due to its popularity. The dessert (chocolate bread pudding), however, was pretty good, but from what i hear, there are more options for good dessert in the area.

A little out of the way from downtown Princeton, but definitely worth the trip.  Set in a fairly residential area, this bistro-style restaurant and wine bar is as cool as anything near Nassau.  Huge selection of wine, but I was quite happy with their selection of bottled beers (including Guinness).

We had a 6:30 reservation and were promptly seated... the hostess even took our coats.  For an appetizer, we had one of the specials - wild mushroom and caramelized onion tart.  I ordered the strip steak for my entree and it was tender and juicy - slightly more cooked than I like, though (medium-rare).  My wife had the scallops & risotto which she also enjoyed.  For dessert, we had the chocolate bread pudding... super chocolaty and rich, but balanced well with a scoop of ice cream.

Their parking lot gets packed, but there's plenty of street parking and an additional lot a block away.  The crowd gave off a yuppie vibe, but not so overly pretentious - mostly middle aged folks.  The place gets very packed (and cramped) so it's definitely advisable to make a reservation - you can even do so on opentable.com.

We'll be dining here often.  So close to 5 stars, but not quite (more like 4.5).

I'd been dying to try this restaurant for a while because I had read great reviews and it always seemed back. In a short time it has become a very popular restaurant.

I was disappointed when I finally did go for dinner. Maybe my expectations were too high. The food seemed to be well executed but under-seasoned. The rest of my dinner party was pretty indifferent about the food.

Service is pretty good and it's a really nice spot.

I have a more complete review on my blog.
