We have been to Triumph a couple of times before and enjoyed it so much that we brought friends of ours that had not yet been to the restaurant. It was a lovely meal and great ambience. There was a bit of a hiccup with the timing of one of our main courses but was handled very nicely by the manager, which is always a good sign of a well run establishment. It's a great addition to the Princeton dining scene and we look forward to returning very soon!

Food was interesting. Flavors somewhat unexpected, but great tasting. Drinks were great. Waiter was great! Pleasant and attentive ! However our main entrées took a while, which made us rush at the end. We would not mind the wait if we were not greeted by a hostess with “ enjoy , you have until 7. As we have table reserved for someone else at that time”

New leg of venison dinner is one of their best preparations of venison that I have experienced here over the many years. Paired wonderfully with the wild mushroom soup (no way similar to more docile mushroom soups by other restaurants). All this paired wonderfully with a modest claret. Hope to repeat this at a future visit.
