    CHOCOLATE SIN CAKE

    The restaurant is located about three miles from Princeton University. The restaurant has a large free shared parking lot. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant has several private areas for dining.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The main dining room is the largest with tables and chairs set for the size of the party.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are separate enclosed booths along one side of the main dining room.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The prices of the meals are expensive. The menu is extensive with various cuts of steak, seafood and side dishes. The steaks are cooked to order and served on a plate that is very hot off the grill. The service is exceptional. The server carefully reviews the order with the guests before submitting it. All dishes served were delicious.

    Great service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute decor. Relaxing and nice feeling.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Oodles of staff members caring for your every wish. I loved my sea bass ! Flavorful, hot, fresh and scrumptious! The shrimp appetizer for the table was lovely. My desert was birthday cake! Cheesecake! My favorite! Perfectly delicious! Lovely time!!! Thank you!

    Been here a few times I always order the PETITE FILET and cream spinach. It's a great combo that never lets me down. The filet is always cooked and spiced just right I get it medium well. The cream spinach is a perfect companion to my filet. It's tasty and creamy almost the same consistency as mashed potatoes but spinach. The service is very good the waiters I have had are very knowledgeable and attentive. They will check on you constantly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience is of a high end restaurant they play music at a comfortable level and the lights are at 50% dimness.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's low enough for the mood but not dark enough where you need a flashlight or you think they are hiding the food. It's definitely worth a visit

    My friend & i celebrating her retirement at Christy.

    It was my first time dining there. It is highly over rated. The service was extremely slow and the food was salty. I orders ribeye, it was tough, even though i got med rare. The creamed spinich was salty, mushrooms were salty.

    Excellent experience for my birthday dinner! Service by Bay & team was 1st class. They made us feel like we were the only clients they were serving. All foods were perfectly prepared and delicious! Enjoyed the Caesar salad, salmon with shrimp with a side of roasted brussel sprouts. The dessert was enough to share. Can't wait to go back again!

    I recently dined at Ruth's Chris in Princeton, and despite some negative reviews I've seen, my experience was overwhelmingly positive. To start, we had the Calamari appetizer, which was crispy and flavorful. For sides, I ordered the Lobster Mac & Cheese, Roasted Brussels Sprouts, and Sweet Potato Casserole. The Lobster Mac & Cheese was rich and indulgent, the roasted brussels sprouts were perfectly roasted, and the Sweet Potato Casserole had a great balance of sweet and savory. As for drinks, they were delicious and definitely packed a punch--perfectly crafted: ordered the gamblers old fashioned and pomegranate martini Our main course consisted of steak, which took a little longer to come out than I'd have liked. I was getting a bit hungry while waiting, but when it arrived, it was cooked exactly to our liking, and the wait was worth it. The steak is served on extremely hot plates (around 500 degrees!), so it continues to cook as you eat. Just be cautious not to touch the plate--it's incredibly hot! Listen to the plate sizzle in the video below Our server, Damon, was professional, attentive, and knowledgeable, making sure we had everything we needed. The manager, John, also checked in to ensure we were having a great experience. The restaurant is conveniently located off Route 1 near the Westin, with plenty of parking and handicap spots available. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a decent-sized space, and while it was quiet when I arrived on a Monday evening, it got much louder around 8:30 PM when two large corporate parties came in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, I enjoyed my food and experience.

    Filet mignon topped with shrimp

    I visited this Ruth's Chris with my mom for her birthday. This was her first time going to Ruth's Chris. We ended up getting steak and shared a few sides amongst us. Typically, my favorite sides are the creamed spinach and the sweet potato casserole, and although they were tasty as usual, the real star of the show was the brussel sprouts. They were so good that we ate all of them at the restaurant and had to get an additional order of brussel sprouts just to take home with the rest of our leftovers. When I made the reservation, I indicated on the reservation that we were there to celebrate a birthday. When we arrived at our table, they had birthday confetti on the table. Usually, they would give a birthday person a small version of one of their desserts, but they ended up giving us a full sized portion of their cheesecake for us to share. I thought those were nice touches. Our waiter did an excellent job as well.

    Our very first time eating at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse and although the ambiance is a real steakhouse look the experience was not. A huge disappointment considering the highlight of our dinner was the steakhouse salad! The Filet and shrimp was mediocre at best, steak undercooked to requested medium rare and the shrimp size 30's, should've been at least 16-20 count. They gave us a cheesecake that looked like an Entenmans and given to us in a to go container. Service was not good at all even if it was a financial retirement meeting in a private room with approximately 50 guests. Oh well they won't be seeing us back again.

    Pomergante martini to match my top!

    Celebrated my birthday at this wonderful restaurant and from the time you check in to the end of the night I must say the service was impeccable. Detail oriented to asking to take your coat, being escorted to your table with the host, recommendations from our wait staff and the manager coming to our table to ask if everything was to our liking! I forgot how I am surrounded by wonderful steak house and premier restaurants. I MUST do this more often. Thank you to my dear friend for a great night of dining, great conversation and food!!

    Sweet potato casserole and cream of spinach
    Jamarr R.

    Ruth's Chris hits the spot each and every time. My wife and I were seated soon as we arrived for our 6pm reservations on Saturday. Jim was my server and he was great. He explained the new items on the menu and was attentive. As for the food, I usually go for the ribeye or filet, but I heard good things about the bone in filet, so I gave it a try. It did not disappoint! The bone truly enhanced the flavor compared to the standard filet. I chose to have it topped with collasal crab, which is a little different from "oscar style". This surf and turf option was amazing as the crab complimented the filet nicely. For the sides I went with my go to, the sweet potato casserole and cream of spinach. 10/10 for each item.

They sat us in a corner, no breeze and learned their AC and fan has been broken for years. Couple next to us sat down said its too hot and left in less than a minute. We stuck it out and was glad we did. Their take on an amaretto sour was very tart and vibrant, a new favorite. Reisling was nice and sweet. Main course was papardelli, fresh pasta. Fully enjoyed that. Friday special ia chicken parm, was cooked nicely. However when we discussed dessert we just were too hot to have another drink and have dessert which is a shame. Not sure why they haven't fixed this know air issue, they are loosing sales.... What kept it 4 star for us was the wait staff. Jordan was extremely friendly and efficient, as well as the other staff that took care of us. Would love to go back, but maybe in late fall/winter unless they fix their fan/ac issue.

But, I wasn't blown away by any of the courses, unfortunately. The only dish that stood out as being really good were the rice balls. Everything else was just average-and that makes me really sad because I have been looking to try this place FOREVER, especially since we had our wedding reception at their sister restaurant that closed almost twenty years ago--and their food blew me away. Collectively, we ordered calamari- bland, arancini-delicious, crispy eggplant-bland and dry. I ordered the crab agnolotti which was just, well.... bland. My mom's salmon seemed to be cooked well, we asked for medium and that's what she got. The tiramisu was good, and I am not generally a fan. The mocktail that ordered-basil gimlet was a nice balance of sweet and sour. Overall, really giving it a 3.5 but based upon comparison to my other 4 star ratings, I had to bring it down a bit. An overall nice experience, but since the food is the star... I'm not sure if I will return.

I literally said to myself as I drove around Somerville that I wish there was a wine or cocktail bar for...mature people like myself to chill at. So I looked up wine bars and boom - VintEdge was right down the street. I came in around 9pm, picked a comfy seat by the window, and ordered. Can you believe I had never had an espresso martini until that evening?? So my first was a pumpkin espresso martini. Well I may have had 2. And another drink. Ahem. The service was great, not fussy, and I wasn't rushed even as we approached last call. Visit 2: having heard about my great experience there alone, my cousin arranged to meet me there last week. Or so she thought. Through a series of mutual miscommunications, I was here at the crib waiting for her, while she was at the wine bar waiting for me. Once we figured that out, she got us some food to go and we ate here at home. Verdict: -excellent seating options - stools, couches, chairs -food is so so good. Tartare, truffle fries. Fig jam pizza -drinks include awesome bottles and seasonal takes on old favorites This could be my new spot.

Can't wait to come back and try more of their menu. The staff were busy but still polite and attentive.

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.

One diner had the lamb special which was supposed to be served with a sauce but was dry and flavorless. The accompanying black rice was just there. The only positive was our server who was helpful and friendly. This is Princeton for Pete's sake. Most of the patrons have been to France and know good dining.

It has a rustic farmhouse feel (wood floors with wide boards, multiple fireplaces) but still comes across as more upscale than your typical tavern. The dining room has a warm atmosphere without being too loud, so you can actually have a conversation without shouting. We started with the seasonal pickle plate (beets, carrots, cauliflower, cucumber, fennel, olives) and the bread plate (three different breads with two different butters and olive oil). Both were a good way to kick things off. The pickled vegetables had a nice variety and the bread was fresh and paired well with the accompaniments. For our entrees, my wife went with the homemade pasta while I chose the Wagyu NY strip steak cooked medium rare with bourbon maple glazed root vegetables. The steak was cooked exactly as requested and had great flavor. The root vegetables added a nice sweetness that complemented the dish well. My wife really enjoyed her pasta and had enough to take some home. To finish the night, we had the mozzarella gelato (yes, you read that right - mozzarella), along with tea for my wife and coffee and Sambuca for me. The gelato was a unique dessert and a nice way to wrap up the meal. Our waitress Jemma was very friendly and attentive throughout the night without being overbearing. Overall, everything was very good. This is definitely a place we would return to, especially for a nice dinner out.
