Dined in the main, upstairs dining room which is the old post office lobby. Beautiful, evocative space! A simple meal of mussels and frites with an appetizer and Boulevardier cocktail. All delicious! Solid, attentive service. Although open less than a year, Triumph may already be considered among Princeton's best restaurants.
