Our first experience, and we wonder why it took us so long? They are the complete package, amazing Tomahawk Steak, sides, everything. They even have Eric LeGrand Bourbon. Had to taste it. Lots of Rutgers memorabilia. Paul was our server. We have never experienced such a complete server. His explanations were epic, clear and concise. He graciousness was off the charts. you MUST request him!

Very nice 2nd floor restaurant on. Nassau St. In Princeton. Food, service and ambiance were all excellent. My wife had the Scallops with Risotto and I had the Blue Cheese Bacon Burger. We also had the Duck Spring Rolls as an appetizer. Everything was very tasty and cooked to perfection

The renewed version of this former brew pub is an amazing experience. The cassoulet was outstanding, as was the wine list and appetizers.

It was really great. It was our first Thanksgiving at a restaurant, and the food was so good, our server (I think her name was Kylie) was so nice, and we all were happy.
