    This restaurant is a great addition to Princeton dining. We enjoyed the just arrived Chesapeake Bay soft shell crabs on spaghetti last night and are returning tonight for another treat.

    The cutest hidden gem! I’ve been twice with the most recent time being for Mother’s Day dinner. The place is beautiful with great food, drinks and service. It’s also a plus that there is ample parking. Cannot wait to go back!

    Everything was great except for the food. The garlic crostini appetizer had no garlic flavor and was overwhelmed by the too large hunk of bread. They kindly took it off my check. The pork chop entree was better but the chop was overcooked a bit. The accompanying green beans were just right. The potatoes weren’t worth the calories. The sauce was a simple balsamic glaze with onions. I would have expected more.

    Visited with a group of 10 for a birthday celebration. The food was delicious (crab cake sandwiches, swordfish and the ravioli) and the service was incredible!
