    Will, the bartender is awesome..
    Gabby Z.

    Had dinner and drinks here tonight with a friend.. TT has been my fav, go to places for So many years and it just gets better and better. First, Holly and Jimmy are the staple bartenders and best you'll ever find!! Love them so much!! Tonight I had the Cajun pork chops which are honestly some of the best pork chops you'll ever have. They are absolutely delicious, huge and such an amazing price. I just love everything about this place and will keep coming for as long as they are open.

    I've always passed by this place on Route 206, and wanted to give it a go. I went here for lunch with my brother, it was my first time there, but he's been there before. I will say it was a great first impression. When we walked inside, it was very clean, and we got seated right away. It was the beginning of lunch hour, so it wasn't really busy yet. More people came in as time passed there. Our waitress was very professional, and made sure she got all our orders correct. The burger I got was cooked just right to my liking, and my brother really enjoyed his salad. The dessert was amazing too. It was definitely all worth the price as well. It was very reasonable for what they were charging. If you're ever in the Princeton area, definitely scope this bar out. You won't be disappointed.

    Delicious Chicken and Cheese Quesadilla
    Lindy Z.

    So I moved to this area over a year ago and never had a chance to try this legendary place. The place is a local favorite and I've seen tons of cars in the lot so that's always a great clue. However, since it's a bar and I don't drink, I felt like I wasn't missing out on anything. I was sorely mistaken. Tonight I met up with my out of town family members and we were all impressed with the level of service, friendly staff and overall vibe of the restaurant. The menu had a plethora of dishes so I opted for the chicken and cheese quesadilla. The chicken was flavorful with the right amount of sauciness. The presentation was nice and the tortilla was so crispy and tasty. I didn't think that I would ever say this, but this was the best quesadilla that I've ever had. One of the most thoughtful and heartwarming touches from the evening was that we were gifted a beautifully decorated Tiger's Tale glass memento for our inaugural visit! I am officially a fan and will certainly be coming back soon to try their other dishes!

    I'm been dining here for many, many years, always looked forward to the Chicken Cordon Blue sandwich, never had an issue with food or service. However, until tonight , I ordered my usual chicken cordon blue sandwich, one bite and I felt as though the chicken felt rubbery and raw, I spit it out into a napkin. I cut into another piece and noticed the chicken looked pink. I Brought it to the waitress attention, she took it back to the kitchen. She returned and told me the manager will take half price off my meal. I said excuse me, half? I said The entire meal went back French fries and all. Manager came to our table and repeated half price off, claiming I eat half the meal. I was actually taken back, and asked why half? I had to show her the piece I spit into the napkin. She still insisted half off, no apology, no have a dessert on us....nothing. I showed her the picture below, and I said fine, I'll have no problem sharing this picture. She leaves again, the waitress returned stating the entire meal came off the bill. I don't understand the lack of customer service, the lack of any concern what so ever. I doubt I will return!!

    Good place. Service very quick. Ambiance is typical roadside look but quaint. Food was good my husband ordered the classic chicken sandwich which was very big. I ordered the chicken salad served on a fresh croissant. Glad we turned around to go there after we passed it on the road

    Good atmosphere. Good beer. The food is risky if you stray into oddball items but the burgers are good. Good place for lunch.

The chef even split the burger in 2 without us asking. The burger was perfectly medium rare, fries are crispy and salad is lightly dressed - lemon chicken with broccolini and pan fried potatoes and olive oil tomatoes: the lemon sauce has the perfect strong lemon flavor, chicken is so moist and the potatoes were fluffy I love coming back here to see what's new on their menu!

I particularly enjoyed the rabbit in the pasta though I got a bone in it , which the server mentioned should not have been there but it was a miss ! No regrets as it's apparently not a big deal!! We didn't have any dessert but they got us couple of ginger cookies on a plate with a piped chocolate wish ! Was a nice touch to wrap our evening on a high note

    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.

There were literally 8 French fries on the plate and they were cold. I understand restaurants are trying to cut costs but potatoes are still cheap. 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.

Staff accommodated me at a nice two seater table that didn't have me in the middle of the action, so I felt comfortable dining alone. Started off with the best Blood Orange Martini I've ever had.

Hadn't had a Filet in awhile and opted for that with some Bearnaise. Great choice - tender cut - tasty crust - perfectly prepared. A jazz band was playing which only added to the amazing ambience.

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!
