    This is a good restaurant for large parties. Music, food, entertainment. They accommodate a lot to their customers. Good time every time

    Here I go again--another French bistro I absolutely adore…read more Christine's French Bistro is everything you want in a cozy, decadent French spot: small, intimate, softly lit with sconces, and anchored by a beautiful bar you can dine at or just sip champagne and linger. Let's be honest--I come here for one reason: the soufflés. They are my kryptonite. Sweet or savory, they never disappoint. I've had the chocolate (rich, decadent, flawless), though I'm still chasing my ultimate favorite--the elusive Grand Marnier soufflé. One day... Beyond that: * Mussels + champagne = always a win * Service is warm and welcoming * Prices feel fair for the quality and experience This place has become part of my ritual when I'm in the area. I'll fly into Newark Liberty International Airport, hop on the Amtrak Acela, get off in Princeton, head straight here, and yes--plan my trip around a soufflé. No regrets. The location is perfect--right in the heart of Princeton, which is one of those charming, walkable towns with tree-lined streets and that classic, almost European feel. There's garage parking nearby, but honestly, once you're there, you won't need your car. Perfect for: * Date night * Dessert and champagne with friends * Solo bar seating (highly recommend) Bottom line: Elegant, cozy, and worth going out of your way for--especially if you love a proper soufflé. Life's too short not to eat well. Go make it happen.

    Great ambiance, wonderful place for brunch. Love that you can sit indoors or out, but the menu is…read morevery limited. I ordered the breakfast burger and it was very dry- asked for some additional sauce and it was $3 extra to make it edible which was a bummer. Service was good and hostess was kind.

    What a fun aesthetic this restaurant has! After wandering…read morethe Grounds for Sculpture, we decided to wander in to see if any tables were available for two. We were seated quickly and were greeted by Hallie who was such a gem as our server! Hubs got the Chicken Croque Monsiuer and I ordered the Homemade Bucatini with shrimp and cuttlefish. The pasta was delicious with a vibrant slightly creamy lemon and wine sauce and a perfect portion for lunch. This was a nice treat as we wrapped up our trip to the grounds!

The property feels like a slice of the French countryside, with charming architecture, manicured gardens, and scenic views that make the atmosphere romantic, peaceful, and perfect for a date night or a special celebration. *AMBIANCE* The ambiance is exceptional and worth seeing at least once. There is a parking lot right next to the restaurant. The weather wasn't great when we came, but there is a very scenic patio area overlooking Monet's Bridge and the pond. We came with reservations but had a bit of a wait even though there were some empty tables. Additionally, we were celebrating a special occasion but that was not acknowledged anywhere so it felt slightly underwhelming. *FOOD* The food was well-prepared and several dishes were enjoyable. For starters, we tried the petites bouchées de poulet ($22) which are bite sized pickled buttermilk fried chickens, though the portions were small for the price. I got the coffee crusted 1855 bone-in beef short rib ($42) which was very delicious. The meal was good, but I was not blown away by the food. *SERVICE* Service was courteous and professional. There was a slight delay where the sides arrived a bit later with our entree, but other than that service was attentive. Overall, worth checking out once for the beautiful location but just keep in mind at this price point, you are paying more for the ambiance than the food itself.
