I had the sunny side up chicken and waffle. The syrup was different and quite good. The food around the table looked good too! The general consensus though was that the coffee was not good. The lattes and cappuccinos looked similar, and to be honest the bean itself wasn't very good. Service was stellar! Overall I'd say go for the food, and do a pit stop on the way there for coffee!

We had a reservation to celebrate a graduation and new job tonight. While the graduate picked this…read morerestaurant due to the menu choices I have to say I was very displeased. We ordered the Caribbean conch fritters that were so small. You could barely see them. The gnocchi however, was very good. The two of us that ordered the filet mignon's were very disappointed. The server told us that we should order them medium rare because the medium would be not cooked to our satisfaction. The medium rare came out overdone. When my friend asked for another steak, they brought her a new one that was completely raw in the center. It's clear to me. They don't know how to cook according to temperature. The pan sear deck duck breast was not cooked to perfection either. In between each course, we had to keep asking for silverware because they served us food with no silverware. You should never have to ask in a restaurant of this magnitude to be given silverware with your meal. When we got there, I had brought in a cake for dessert and the guy at the hostess stand said let me take that for you and bring it to the table. I said no it's a surprise. When it came time for dessert, the waitress came over and brought menus for dessert and I clearly said to her we have a cake in the back and she said oh I didn't realize it was for you. Our server was.Danieliz A. I would think when your bill is $500 you would get a little better service than what we were given. I personally owned a fine dining restaurant and to say this experience was subpar is an understatement. The other part that really upset me was when my friend had to send her steak back we were all completely finished eating by the time her meal came out to me. This was a disaster.

It seems like it was newly renovated and they had a bunch of outdoor seating. Would be a nice place for drinks in the summer. They have a full bar and seating on one side and tables on the other. We sat in one of the booths on the bar side. The menu is a mix of American and Italian dishes. We did a mix of a few things. Rice balls, salads and a burgers. We really enjoyed everything we tried. Arugula salad had a good dressing but it was a bit too over dressed for my liking. Burger was cooked well and had a toasted bun. The bartender and servers so were so nice. We had great service the whole night.

We were seated at a table below a tree in the bar area, which is very aesthetically pleasing with a natural wood bar and industrial touches. The menu was Sunday brunch however it had many pleasing options from breakfast standards to sandwiches and salads. We all ordered sandwiches and asked for additions or omissions which wasn't a problem at all. All of our choices came with generous portions and were delicious. Our server was efficient but not the friendliest, but he got the job done. Overall, I would return to Mistral if I visit Princeton again and would recommend it to others too.

There was a young lady sitting in the corner in the phone telling us that there were no seats if we didn't have a reservation. Not the most polite but whatever. We went back to the bar and got a table. Why are bar tables always so sticky?! Anyhoo, we just missed the Happy Jour menu but it was only a $1-2 discount (except for the burger: $4). Service was pleasant and attentive. The food was overpriced for sitting in a bar. $30 for a bowl of ramen! (I don't know how it tastes but it's $17 across the street.) $22 for a burger and fries! $10 for two little bao with a single shrimp in each! Ok, that's not too bad since Bao is generally overpriced for some reason but I could have gotten more than one shrimp. Unfortunately, the price did not reflect the quality. My friend who got the ramen said it was in the bottom 25% he's ever had. My burger was pretty good but the bun was toasted and brittle and made an unnecessary mess. The fries--personal preference--I don't like skinny fries. As for the bao, the shrimp was too salty. I liked the finishing salt but the flavoring salt was too heavy. Also, it was drizzled with aioli and I couldn't pick it up and eat it like the sandwich it was. Overall, a disappointment. Mediocre food and an elevated price for no reason.

The whole reason was the garden patio and oh my god, yes, absolutely worth it. We picked the right table too, right in the middle of everything. We ordered cocktails, got a bunch of things to share, and just kind of settled in. The scallop and shrimp risotto? My favorite thing we ordered. It sounds like it's going to be super rich and heavy but the pickled vegetables on top balance it out perfectly and I cleared my plate. We also got the biscuits to start and the salted honey butter that comes with them is actually dangerous because you will not stop eating it. We debated ordering another round. The cucumber salad I honestly almost said no to, but it ended up being so refreshing and it went with everything else really well. Glad someone talked me into it.

Fortunately, I got booked on a flight out the next morning and found a hotel in the city. Other than running to a drug store, my only other time leaving my hotel was to grab dinner at Pizzeria Vetri across the street. I enjoyed the food, the service, and the ambiance. I was immediately seated upon arriving to Pizzeria Vetri. I was asked if I wanted to sit at the bar, at a table, or at the pizza counter. I chose the pizza counter so that I could watch staff making pizzas. As I was there on my own, the serving staff continued to stop by and check on me. The menu includes neopolitan pizzas (12" feeding 1-2 people) and metro pizzas (28" feeding 3-4 people). They make pizzas, calzones, antipasti, and salads. I chose a Neapolitan-style pepperoni pizza consisting of pepperoni, tomato sauce, mozzarella, and fresh oregano. It was quite filling and absolutely delicious! They also sell pizza kits so that you can make your own pizza at home. Pizzeria Vetri was created to celebrate the art of authentic pizza making. They aimed to create simple food made exactly the right way using the best and freshest ingredients served in a space where all are welcome. You can visit the Pizzeria Vetri website (https://www.pizzeriavetri.com) to order online, see menus, details about all four locations as well as to learn about classes, hosting events, and catering options. You can sign up for PV Perks at https://www.pizzeriavetri.com/pv-perks. You earn 25 points for signing up and one point for every dollar spent. You receive a $5 discount for every 50 points redeemed. They also have Happy Hour specials. I certainly enjoyed the experience and would go back again iid in the area.

One of our party is vegan and we told the waiter and he said ok great. As we sat there watching them create pizzas the amount of cross contamination was unreal. No one was wearing gloves and just digging their hands in raw meats, veggies and cheese. There was cheese I almost all the other biggie bins.
