I get it, diners in this zip code love to recreate their adventures across countless European capitals as they sip expensive aperitifs and coffee concoctions believing they're within a stones throw of the 6th arrondissement in Paris. When I'm getting sunstroke sitting five feet away from a lovely half-filled air conditioned interior I completely empathize with that panting Poodle sitting one table over whose owners while away the time while poor little Siegfried melts under his fur. Next time I'll grow a spine provided it's not completely fused from this visit to Hades. The Witherspoon Grill is terrific, I have no one to blame but myself.

Friends picked us up at the Princeton Junction train station and drove into Princeton. We had lunch at Witherspoon, one of their favorites, before heading to the Princeton University Art Museum. My friend and I shared the grilled shrimp salad, and they kindly split it in the kitchen for us. Hardly any black beans, at least in mine, but two large shrimp (one of my favorite oxymorons!) and lots of shredded romaine, topped with about half a sliced avocado. Came with a creamy dressing on the side, no great shakes to me but my friend loved it. My husband had a whole grilled shrimp salad to himself, ignored the dressing, and really liked the salad. Our other friend had 2 appetizers as his meal - lobster bisque and a poke cup that was on the menu as a tuna martini, or something like that. Cute title. Two of us had unsweetened iced tea, one had a cup of hot water. My iced tea was good, our friend got a refill of his. I'm not sure if he was charged for it but I don't think so. We passed on dessert, went later for ice cream. Enjoy!

The chef knows what he is doing. Combining unusual ingredients together and flavors to tickle our tastebuds. Each dish presented was truly a work of art. We chose the NYE's 5-course tasting menu. Believe me when I say you will be very full because they also give a few items that were served in between courses, like the incredible savory Everything Squash Donut, Chawanmushi, homemade breads, etc. Everything we had blew us away. I was not prepared for the delightful surprise when they served the tuna tartare, hamachi and duck dish in 4 different ways on one plate. The work it must've taken. I can't even pick a favorite dish because I loved each one. For dessert, a rich creamy vanilla scoop of ice cream came with a huge piece of warm scone, apple compote and the chef's own homegrown honey. Some jelly candies and cheesecake balls coated in nuts were given with the check. What a way to end the meal. This meal took a total of about 3 hours. The chef has to pace everything with all the patrons in the entire restaurant, so be aware of that. You know it's find dining when they change up all your utensils for each course. Service was outstanding from start to finish. Limited metered parking in the lot.

Came here with friends of ours on a Friday night for their 15-course tasting menu at Element, and…read moreit was a great experience. Every course was thoughtfully put together, showcasing incredible flavors and techniques that made for one of the best tasting menu meal I had. A standout for me was the prawn preparation, the chefs cleverly tempura-fried the vegetable and shrimp head, while the body was transformed into a delicate and flavorful ceviche. The caviar was another highlight, adding a luxurious touch to the meal. The Maine sea scallops were outstanding, perfectly cooked and bursting with freshness in a dill sauce. Another remarkable dish was the tuna prepared three ways--as a tartare, wrapped in cabbage, and nori. Each preparation showcased the tuna to its highest potential, highlighting its versatility and depth of flavor. To finish, the Hawaiian dessert with the biscuit was one of the best single-bite desserts I've ever had. I took left over home for breakfast the next morning. Yummmm. The service was also nice and friendly, each course was carefully explained by the server, adding to the appreciation behind each dish. Empty plates were promptly cleared to maintain a clean and seamless dining experience. Beyond the food, the ambience was elegant yet welcoming, making for the perfect complement to an already good meal. I highly recommend their tasting (we had the 15 course, they also have a 5 course as well) menu for anyone looking for good food with variety in Princeton. Please note the last seating for the 15 courses is at 5:15 because it takes time to go through the menu. I'll definitely be back!

Every item tasted so good. Even the steamed broccoli was delicious. We love the sauce that is accompanied with the steak, very flavorful. KC Prime, although it has been a long time visiting you there is nothing we can complain about at all. Thank you Nick for treating us so special and hope to visit more in the future. Thank you.

The brunch was overall always good, but it wasn't anything special. The ambiance was one of the best things of this place as it had a nice and cozy interior hence why it's a steakhouse. And service overall each time we went was good as they did good cleaning our table in a timely manner and making sure that the plates didn't pile up. When it comes to criticisms it is mostly with the food. Each time we went it was always the same food and nothing was ever different. I know its breakfast and of course you'd expect to have most of the same stuff that breakfast tends to have. Including basic things like eggs, bacon, sausage, omelette station, toast etc. However, we had high hopes that maybe they would change stuff now and then, but it seems that never happens here. Due to that there are the same food options and then there are the items we didn't like that were always there and were never improved or changed. Overall, this is good for brunch but there are still better options out there.

We started by ordering the crispy chicken, and I ordered a drink from the bar. The crispy chicken was the highlight of the night--very flavorful. The drink arrived 15 minutes after ordering, when we were halfway through the appetizer. I could see the bartender moving slowly, and I heard other patrons complaining about the wait time. It happens, and if the rest of the experience was good, I wouldn't have even remembered that. Our waitress brought us some bread, which was a bit stale, but the butter was fantastic. Our main courses were very average--I had the grilled branzino, which is a simple dish but just lacked flavor or anything to make it stand out. My husband ordered the short rib pappardelle, and the pasta itself was good. The sauce was very, very heavy due to too much truffle. By the time we finished eating, we were fully sweating because the restaurant was so hot. It was a very hot day, and maybe the air-conditioning was not working. Again, forgivable, but on top of everything else, it made for an unpleasant experience. Overall, it felt overpriced for the food and service.

I felt like I was in the city with the gorgeous lighting and ambiance. My friend and I went on ladies night, where every Wednesday they have a DJ and 10% off food/drinks at the bar! We started off with 3 different apps, the zucchini fritte, the meat and cheese board for two, and the rice balls. Everything was phenomenal! The rice balls were stuffed with shredded beef instead of ground beef which I liked and the Gorgonzola cheese sauce was tangy and savory. The zucchini fritte was fried to a golden crisp and felt light and satisfying. The meat and cheese board is truly perfect for pairing with some pre-dinner drinks! Neither of us felt like drinking that night so I got the Stella Rose red berry spritz and she got the black berry spritz. These were fruity and sweet and perfect for a night out. Great alcohol free options. For dinner I got the cacio e pepe which came in a huge serving. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and I really liked how creamy and cheesy it was without feeling too heavy. My friend got the eggplant rollatini which was a humongous portion and she devoured it and still had some for leftovers. These were both great meat-free options. For dessert I had the chocolate lava cake which was rich and decadent. Perfect for sharing but mine was all for me! My friend had the creme brûlée which she indulged on without a single bite to spare! Can't forget to mention the impeccable service! Our server Andres was so sweet and took excellent care of us and always checked in with us. I'm so glad I finally checked out Spigola! This is a perfect restaurant for a great meal. Since it is an elevated atmosphere, this makes it extra special for birthdays, anniversaries, date nights, etc. With their big event space in the back, Spigola's is a wonderful spot for showers, rehearsal dinners, parties, even intimate weddings. What a wonderful gem to have in the Mercer county dining scene!

When I arrived, the bar was full, a couple guys standing nearby and a variety of people at the tables. Two people were working. Both were friendly and attentive, no complaints. I ordered an espresso martini because they have a Starbucks like stand attached to the bar and it was delish. For dinner I got the tots. What intrigues be about them was the green chilis, yet, when it arrived was nothing compare to what was listed on the menu. When I expressed this to the waitress, she basically said (nicely) , yea that's how it comes as if this happens often. She then went to the kitchen and came back and said they would remake it the correct way. I was already have done (hungry and was fine as is) and declined but weird that what came out wasn't really anything like the description. For the area, I would likely come back.

The meatballs were also a favorite, and the chicken Milanese was nicely prepared. The only thing that caught us off guard was the eggplant rollatini. It was listed under the pasta section of the menu, so we assumed it would be more of a pasta-based dish. Instead, it was essentially fried eggplant served over sauce. It was still good, just not what we expected based on where it was listed on the menu. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal. Lots of delicious options, and everything came out tasting fresh and well prepared. I'd definitely come back and try more of the menu!
