“First time getting Crumbl and I was lucky to be able to try the dubai chocolate brownie so good. Can't say much about customer service since I placed the order in the screen they have there and picked up. It was really good I have to say.”

“Dinner last was an ABSOLUTE DELIGHT 💕. My cousins and I had cocktails to start the evening. Their French Negroni was superb. M’s starters selections were fantastic! - Quail Lollipops and Foie Gras Mousse. For my entree, I had Steak Frites-Bavette. Dinner was nothing short of magical. The service was TOP-NOTCH. Thank you, Kristine’s!”

“Mi Espana is outstanding! Totally blew us away! Absolutely fantastic authentic home cooked Spanish food!! The caldo gallego (soup with greens, pork, white beans & potatoes), sopa pescado (seafood soup), chicken paella, pulpo (octopus with vegetables), and torta dessert were all fantastic! The chef clearly loves what they do and you can taste it! Great service too! Better than the Spanish restaurants in NYC, N. NJ & Philly and very reasonably priced! Can't wait to go back!!”

“The food here was excellent! We ordered a variety of sushi and a delicious soup, both of which were great. Just a heads-up on the tiramisu: it’s not a classic recipe, but still interesting.
The only downside was the service model. It is self-service, and the staff wasn't very attentive about letting us know when our food was ready to be picked up. Despite the lack of table service, they still ask for a tip, which felt a bit off. Overall, great food, but the service system could be improved.”
“We went to dine with this rag tag restaurant and the experience was awful. The waitress had no teeth and asked my son for his? At first we thought “hey maybe they are joking” then all of a sudden. They lady grabbed his front bicuspid. Needless to say - at that point we were concerned. Because we had a long day we were still hungry. So we stuck around. The next thing you know. The toothless individual brought another toothless friend and tried to get my tooth as well. At that point. We know. Time to get out of here. We were cooked. Unlike the food at this gross place.”

“Farmlike style restaurant with a beautiful interior, friendly staff. The food was delicious and good quality items. Just a little pricey. Would recommend for dates”
“Great atmosphere, service and food. Ricardo was an excellent server who is always smiling and ready to give a sincere recommendation. I would very much recommend coming here whether you're a princeton student with points to spend or just someone passing through princeton.”

Whether you're celebrating birthday, enjoying romantic date night..Would highly recommended this restaurant to anyone looking for an exceptional dinning experience -its's truly place that checks all the boxes!!”
“We were there last night. Forget the poor reviews. When you walk in it feels like a pizzeria, but when the food is presented, it's like a 5 star restaurant! The presentation is gorgeous, the preparation is perfection. We were 5 in our party and everyone left happy. The portions were very generous and some of us brought leftovers home. It's not cheap, but you get what you pay for, and it wasn't exorbitant either. Special shout out to Elizabeth, our delightful server (and daughter of the owner/chef) who treated us like royalty. Other friends who came in after us agreed!”
“Such a nice evening!! The food was delicious and our server (so sorry I don’t know your name!! The Hungarian girl from Felsoörs 🇭🇺🇺🇸) was exceptional, so knowledgeable of the menu, sociable, prompt and helpful! We had the fried eggplants & chicken popcorn as appetizers, then various types of noodle dishes, sesame chicken and seafood tofu. Super yummy, and cozy atmosphere. Will go back when in Princeton!”
“I would highly recommend Winberie's! my husband and I went for the first time today to have some lunch. The Executive Chef, Steve Fitch, was so awesome! My husband has a laundry list of food allergies and Steve came out to offer alterations he could make to the menu items to accommodate us. Everyone there was so friendly and the cocktail and food we had was all fresh and delicious. I could have the parmesan tomato soup everyday for the rest of my life and be happy, it was the best I have ever had. Thank you for a great lunch experience, we will definitely be back!”
“On a very cold December day we had several hours before a concert, and there was no coffee shop to be found because the university was closed. We stumbled upon this oasis of Com and Indian home cooking. They welcomed us in where we made ourselves at home, had delicious chai, excellent appetizers and entrées. The family could not have been more warm and turned what was a
cold grumpy day into a delightful pre-concert experience. For appetizers, the crunchy salmon and the crispy vegetables were our choice. I had the lemon coriander soup, which was lovely. Our entrées were the lamb Rogan Josh, mint chicken, and the cauliflower. We were very grateful for our delicious meal.”
“Great food, honest price, pleasant environment!!! My chicken teriyaki was delicious, well seasoned with tender vegetables! I had a perfect matcha ice cream tempura!!! I totally recommend the restaurant!”

“I had the steak burrito at the Piscataway location today and it did not disappoint. Excellent food and the nachos with Nutella are fire. They had so many fresh made salsa and bottled hot sauce to put on my burrito. I think I found my new Mexican spot. Can't wait to try more of the menu. Highly recommend. 10/10”
“Love it. The inside feels so fresh so clean, with a giant display case of some fine and divine looking pastries. Seems like they specialize in eclairs.
We ordered ourselves a creme brulee (caramelized on demand by the friendly staff) and an Opera for takeout. Tasty and perfectly sized without being too overbearing or sweet.
My Opera was beautiful. Speckled with gold dust, delicate layers of chocolate, mousse and nutty pastes. So much flavor in each soft spoonful. Exactly what I needed for a birthday treat for myself!”
“I recently had my bridal shower at this tea restaurant, and it was absolutely awesome! The ambiance was perfect – so charming and elegant, which made it feel special. The tea selection was incredible, with so many unique and delicious options that everyone enjoyed. The food was also amazing, from the delicate finger sandwiches to the scrumptious pastries; everything was fresh and tasty. What really stood out was the service; the staff were attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. It was a truly memorable experience, and I highly recommend this tea restaurant for any special occasion. Thank you for making my bridal shower so wonderful!”
“I highly recommend this bakery! I’ve been a loyal customer since the day it opened, and it never disappoints. The desserts are always fresh, beautifully made, and absolutely delicious. Whether I’m stopping in for a treat or bringing goodies to share with others, everything is consistently amazing. If you haven’t tried this place yet, you’re missing out!”
“too expensive, horrible service, arrogant and ignorant staff. unless you have 15 minutes to wait for a simple coffee and muffin while these igorant people commiserate with college students, dont bother patronizing this place. $15 for muffin, coffee and tip makes Starbucks seem inexpensive.”
“I love this place, however, yesterday I bought one of my favorite pastries at the store the Kouign Maman. The pastry was hard, I did not even realized how hard it was until I got to my destination. I got one for me and my sister and I was embarrassed on how hard they were. Not sure if they were overcooked or was old and they overheated to sell. Just be careful when you buy this pastry, make sure is fresh. So disappointed because it is my favorite :(”
“Horrible food and catering. Avoid the Cafe Nicole at Holiday Inn as well as Shimla Catering.”
“The food and service are awesome! We booked their pizza truck for an upcoming party. Soooo excited!”

“It's a coffee shop inside Whole Foods. Never seems too busy not that they moved it to a corner in the bakery section. Lots of options. You either have to leave with your drink or carry it around with your while you shop.
Vegetarian options: It's all veg and your can get dairy free stuff too”
“Such a great Rita’s. They have a wonderful selection of flavors, with more variety in both ice flavors and custard flavors than the average Rita’s. The service is also very good: friendly and timely. There wasn’t too much of a line when I went, so it was very quick.”
“Came here with my girlfriend as we are trying breakfast sandwiches in the area and I was pleasantly surprised. The sandwiches are the best we've had in the area. Everything was freshly made and with real ingredients. The bacon in particular was obviously just cooked for the order. The roll was fresh and everything was well seasoned. Overall, I highly recommend!”
“The atmosphere is a little stale but the smoothies are fantastic. They offer a variety of options. The best options are to the left of the counter. Unfortunately, I didn’t see that sign until after I ordered. I wish the worker was more personable. Thank people for coming, offer suggestions, ask if it’s my first time. It’s the little things that make a difference. After all, I’m spending $11 on a smoothie!!!! SMH LOL
It was very tasty and I will be back”
“Good food with nice spices combined to give delectable taste. We always enjoy the food here. Serving portion is really good. Sometimes you have to wait for servovlce attention but overall they are quite helpful.”

“Celebrating 3 birthdays at Roots Ocean Prime with 8 people. Everyone loved their entrees (steaks ) which were cooked perfectly. Sides were tasty and enjoyed by everyone. Great wine list. Appreciated the wine recommendation by our server. Our server, Rachel, was excellent. The birthday desserts were the hit of the dinner! Thank you Roots Ocean Prime for making the birthday celebration extra special!”
“I read about LaLa Lobster on Facebook. We decided to take ride today and check it out. It was very tasty, very tender and a great tasting roll. I had the Classic with warm butter..mmmmmmm so good. It just melted in your mouth. If you don't go there you are missing out. It is 100x's better than the food truck I can't find half the time. Good luck I will definitely be back!”

“We love steaks, and Ruth’s Chris Princeton is our go-to place for special occasions. This time, we received an email offering a special prix fixe course, so we decided to give it a try. The course included a choice of appetizer, entrée, sides, and dessert. I had the Caesar salad, a 6oz filet with shrimp, creamy spinach, and chocolate cake—everything was excellent.
What impressed us even more was the service. From start to finish, the timing was perfect, and the attentive yet comfortable service reminded us of the high-end steakhouses we’ve visited in Texas. We truly had a wonderful time. The portion sizes were just right, allowing us to enjoy every course—especially the dessert, which we usually skip because we’re too full. It was also pleasant to see many guests dressed nicely; you can tell the patrons respect the restaurant. Overall, a great experience.”

“Had a great experience in 1st visit so went back with friends and family for more.
If you're looking to please both American and Korean pallets, this is it. The concept is a really interesting fusion of Korean and American cuisine—if anything, I’d describe it as American food with a Korean twist.
The menu is surprisingly diverse, which makes it easy for everyone in a group to find something they’ll enjoy. We tried a mix of dishes—from the beet and orange salad to Korean fried chicken, quinoa bowls, and even pastas with Korean-inspired flavors—and everything was solid.
What really stood out was the balance of flavors. Nothing was overly saucy or overpowering, yet each dish had a distinct and satisfying taste. You can clearly pick up the Korean seasoning, but it’s subtle and well integrated rather than overwhelming. Even the traditional Korean tofu soup had authentic flavor without being overly spicy or heavy.
The atmosphere adds to the experience as well. The two-floor setup—with the main dining upstairs and outdoor seating available—feels cozy but still spacious. Parking is also convenient with street options and a small lot in the back.
Overall, a fantastic spot for Korean-American fusion with a menu that truly offers something for everyone, including kids. The kids pasta in butter was really good, especially the pasta. Maybe homemade pasta...”

“It’s a great little restaurant, however, you can easily pass it without noticing it bc it is set back in a little shopping strip.My son and I have to be in the area for an appointment; we discussed it on a Google Maps search. So, when we’re in town, we always go there bc they have great food, kinda big portions, and a large menu selection to choose from all day long. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner is served at all times.Awesome service! Order at reg”
“Great atmosphere, service and food. Ricardo was an excellent server who is always smiling and ready to give a sincere recommendation. I would very much recommend coming here whether you're a princeton student with points to spend or just someone passing through princeton.”
“The Market Plate was good, but the service experience wasn’t great. They were out of lentils when I ordered, so I had to wait for them to be prepared. That part is understandable, but the employee taking the order was not very friendly about it. Instead of apologizing for the wait, she just asked if I wanted to wait or leave. It came across as pretty rude. The food itself was good, but a little friendliness would have been nice.”
“This is one of those rare places where you would chop off one of your fingers to have a location in your area. Please come to Philly! But seriously the Peruvian salad was so good, such amazing dressing and fresh lettuce, and likewise the salmon entrée was so good. Flavors on everything were sensational. Hard to believe this was at a takeout counter type of place.Amazingly healthy and even good dessert if you wanted to indulge afterwards.”

“I loved the Chipotle Bison Burger and Cheese Fries, and my wife loved the Grilled Tilapia Burger and Sweet Potato Fries. The burgers were each well packed with toppings and packed well with the keep-your-hands-mostly-clean wrapper. We'll definitely be back in the future!”
“Shreya, along with Lilly, Colina, and Sasha, made the experience at Bluestone Lane Café in Princeton feel warm and genuinely attentive from start to finish. The Soft Chili Scramble with Avocado, Aussie Best is the standout, featuring fluffy eggs with a nice chili flake heat alongside a generous arugula salad, avocado, and seeds, while the Athlete’s Burrito was delicious and hearty with lentils. The potato wedges with BLATE and the lemon ricotta pancakes were both excellent, and the smooth coffee with a well made cappuccino rounded out a terrific meal.”
“Madras Dosa Company is a fantastic spot for authentic South Indian flavors.
Their sandwiches are surprisingly delicious and clearly made with fresh, local ingredients.
You can really see the care and effort the team puts into preparing each item.
The food tastes homemade and consistently well-crafted.
A great place to visit if you appreciate quality, flavor, and genuine hospitality.”
“Had a really nice experience at this restaurant. The food was amazing , service was quick ,Dheeraj for the excellent service — very polite, attentive, and quick to help with everything we needed. Definitely looking forward to coming back again.”
