    We went to Witherspoon during Restaurant Week. We had the Best Salad, Tomato Soup and Filet Trio. The salad was very good, with a little too much vinegar for our taste. The tomato soup was excellent, including the grilled cheese crouton. The three filets of beef were cooked perfectly, delicious and the portion was generous. For dessert we had the creme brulee and the berry bread pudding, which were both the perfect ending to a wonderful dinner. Our server, Ariel, is a friendly professional, who is attentive, making the experience, one to return for.

    Received friendly greetings when we arrived and got the table in less than 2 minutes. The service was good, the noise level can be ignored. The food was great though it took a little longer than was expected. Overall this is a nice restaurant in Princeton area to choose.

    Always so good! Everyone enjoyed their meals. The spinach dip appetizer is always my favorite and the lobster risotto was delicious.
