   The service was terrific. The duck was outstanding. The lobster bisque was a little salty. Overall, this is a wonderful restaurant. Great ambiance. And our grandchild enjoyed looking at the koi fish in the pond.

   I was very disappointed. Our server was very pleasant but that is all that I can say that is positive. Restaurant bills out as Italian with no more than two entrees representative of Italian food on the menu. With tip spent *$80.00 on two glasses of wine and two hamburgers. Additionally, the restaurant is smack in the middle of the hotel. Unless you are staying at the hotel and are on the go, I would skip this place. There are so many better places in and around the Princeton area to pick from. Will not be going again.

   There was literally no one else dining for approximately 40 minutes into our dinner service. The restaurant was pretty much empty. The food selection was limited. However, they were able to offer my daughter carrots instead of spinach and asparagus as sides. The chef cooked her carrots even though it was not on the menu. Her filet took longer to cook than everyone’s meals, therefore her food came out 10-13 minutes after we all started eating. So I ended up feeding her from my plate. The tiramisu was frozen as I got midway into eating it. Overall, for last minute dinner reservations they served their purpose.

   This is a great spot for Pizza if you don't have access to a car and need to stay local in Princeton. The bar drink menu is also quite good.

    I celebrated my son’s birthday at Laurea. The service was good, the place was tranquil as it was a weekday night, and it worked out in our favor! The food was excellent, and we all enjoyed the experience. We will go there again to enjoy the superb food.

    These people called back after we paid, stated that I didn’t pay for my child. As stated in their Mothers Day Brunch menu, kids 5 and over are charged their regular Mother’s Day brunch fee. My child is 3. I explained this to the gentleman that called and he said you got charged 105.00 only. You should have been charged 205.00. I stated to him, first of all I was charged a total of 170.00 (that included gratuity) and second of all my child is only 3. He stated that we will figure it out on my end. Don’t really understand the call back, as i was celebrating with my Mother’s her day to be questioned in front of my family.

    Great discovery of a restaurant in a hotel. The food (warm olives for appetizer were outstanding; we had Ribeye Steak and Griggs Farm Chicken, both excellent), and the service was also great. Our server Rose deserves special commendation.

    What a lovely restaurant! The food was excellent and our waiting staff were fantastic. The only wish I had was that they notified me ahead of time that they shut down breakfast at 11 am. I would have moved our reservation to earlier so we wouldn’t be rushed. But in all fairness, I could have looked at their website to see their hours.

    On April 21, 2022 we went for comedy night at “Catch A Rising Star” and made a reservation at the restaurant beforehand. The hostess was very professional and very pleasant. Our server Maria was wonderful and was attentive and catered to all our needs. The food was delicious and well prepared. I had the ribeye which was tender and juicy. My husband had the salmon which he enjoyed as well. Can’t wait to go back. Thank You, June & Mitch!

    Laurea is a solid spot for a quick bite while staying at the HYATT in Princeton. It offers standard italian fare and a broad wine list. It is a good place to have a business meal and offers space to conduct a business meeting without too much noise. The service staff is exceptional and go out of their way to provide excellent service.

    Went for breakfast. 3 of us ordered off the menu and I had the buffet. First, there were only two servers in the entire place. Ours was working hard running around doing over 20 tables but there is only so much one person can do. Never had the time to come back and ask anything including coffee refill etc. Second, the food was underwhelming, the buffet was bad. Eggs were runny and there was one Bagle but no knife to cut it and no cream cheese left. The menu meals were not much better. Really was hoping for another breakfast spot but alas no. Won’t be going back to spend $150 on bad service (the guy was trying but basically alone) and poor food.

    Tonight took us away. Our servers were excellent. Personable and so helpful with the menu. Enthusiastic about the food and so right! Everything was so delicious-the food and cocktails. Everything special. A random Tuesday night dinner was a special occasion due to great service, food and ambiance!

    Beautiful restaurant surprisingly as it’s off the highway at a Hyatt. But the hotel is nice and the restaurant is modern and cool. Everything we had was delicious. Great service too. No complaints.

    Barely anyone there but we still never got water refills. And our waitress has a helper. No kids menu and my kids were up sold bacon y the waitress without us knowing it was extra. My salmon came with this giant piece of fennel which was an odd side. We did get a complimentary crab cake from the chef that was tasty. The bread was good. But the sodas were $4 each. It was convenient but overall meh. Very loud from the bar and atrium.

    We dined with friends at Laurea last evening. The newly-renovated Hyatt is beautiful but the restaurant is too noisy and too cold. We were all very uncomfortable and had to should across the table at each other - the only way we could communicate. I ordered a $28 glass of wine which was excellent but there just wasn't enough in the glass. For $28, they should have given more wine. To add insult to injury, I found the same wine (same year) on the internet today for $38 a bottle. What a horrific mark up. My husband ordered a martini for which he paid $26 and the martini was mediocre at best. He couldn't get olives with blue cheese; they didn't have them. All in all, the experience was very disappointing, not worth the money, uncomfortable and we will not return. There are too many other wonderful places in the Princeton area; this one just can't compete.

    We dined at Laurea Restaurant prior to seeing Nicky Smigs at Comedy Central on Friday, January 14. The service from Jennifer was excellent and the manager made numerous stops at table during the course of the evening to check in on how we were doing. Overall they were both friendly and professional- they wanted our meal to be perfect and it was! We ordered the Short Ribs, Rigatoni Ragú and the Caesar Salad with Blackened Salmon. The management kindly brought us a beef Wellington tapas wrapped lightly in a puff pastry- gratis. it was delicious! The Burrata Cheese with Marinated Heirloom Cherry Tomatoes and Pickled Spring Peas + Aged Vincotto appetizer was delicious as was the olive tapenade. Jennifer and the chef went out of their way to meet our requests to omit the kale from the Caesar Salad and to blacken instead of just grilling the salmon. The salad was dressed with Parmesan Cheese and the White Anchovies gave it a perfect flavoring without being overpowering. The salmon while a bit well-done, was very good and the salad had just the right amount of romaine and dressing to make the dish perfect. The salad was also accompanied by an olive oil focaccia toast. The short ribs were also flavorful and the Rigatoni Ragú included fresh pasta and finished off with mascarpone cheese. In addition, we ordered two cocktails; a Pomegranate Martini and one of their specialty culinary cocktails; the Ginger Rose made with CÓdigo 1530 Rosa Tequila , Fiorente Elderflower, Domaine De Canton Ginger, Cucumber and Lime. (Fortunately they allowed us to order two more of these during the show to make our night complete!) Overall ambiance was open and airy yet cozy due to the overhead draperies that helped the acoustics from being too loud in such a large space. After only being open less than a few months, (~October 2021) Laurea proved to be a diamond in the rough but worth the price for a nice evening out. GO! You won’t be let down! 4-1/2 Stars!

    What a hidden gem! The food was over the top delicious - Italian - with seasonal specialties like the fried squash blossom filled with ricotta. The breads were a trio of artisanal options with the chef's homemade garlic knots being the table's hands down favorite. I was with a large group of about 8 and we were all very pleased. The restaurant was just newly opened in the beautiful Hyatt Princeton. Easy to park and walk right in. Fantastic! I can't wait to go again!
