    This is a nice gem! We don't come here often but whenever we do, we always have a great experience. We can always count on good food! We had the grilled octopus for an appetizer and it was amazing! We sat at the bar and the bartenders were great at small chat and giving us our space to chat and eat our food.

    Gathered at eno terra with my Princeton book club friends for our annual holiday lncheon on a Wednesday. Our server, Lynn, was excellent, but she was the only server seen and service was very slow. A lot of young servers walking around but none of them brought us a bread basket or asked if we needed anything. So I would say your servers need to be directed better so they are not milling about. We finally received our bread after we had all finished with our lunch. So, please give Lynn some extra help.
