The service was incredibly slow. For instance, we waited 10 minutes for our drinks, another 10 for our bread, and our server even forgot the side salad we ordered. That being said, I really wanted to give it a higher rating because the quality of the food was a solid 4.5; it was fresh, and well prepared. I would definitely recommend the Goat Cheese Salad and the Duck Leg Confit.

six of our family shared a relaxing lunch on the patio. I had the Croque madame and it far exceeded anything that I had in France. I think our server was Nick and he was excellent.

food is GREAT and AMBIENCE

Amazing food and service. We loved the whole experience and will definitely be back.

Fantastic food! Wonderful atmosphere. Prompt, courteous, knowledgeable staff (James). I had the foie gras (top 5 I’ve ever had), salmon tartare (fresh and perfectly seasoned), and lemon curd tart (tart, loved the mint, didn’t love the pastry because it was a bit soft/soggy). The sparking rose was delightful paired with all three. Would highly recommend and If I can get out again on this trip, I’ll be going back.

I went to Kristine’s for my anniversary and it was a great experience! They surprised us with two glasses of champagne shortly after we sat down which was so sweet. We had the onion soup, the cheese plate, mussels frites, and the lamb chops. Everything was delicious! To finish the evening we ordered the chocolate soufflé and coffee (they made us a fresh pot!) Overall great service, food, and ambience. Highly recommend!

First time at Kristine's, and I can't wait tio go back. We ordered from their prix fixe menu. The food was delicious and the cocktails were just right!!!

I have eaten at Kristine’s twice before (and have made reservations each time). Well, today on a very hot summery day when we were dressed in shorts, my partner and I walk in and ask for a table for two.The host looked at us (with more than half of their indoor and outdoor seating available) and said that they were completely booked but that he could seat us at the bar. As he’s reaching for the menus, we decline and tell him we’re not interested in sitting at the bar.I am not interested in having lunch at a place that declines to serve prospective customers based upon what they’re wearing.

Kristine’s serves a multitude of delicious appetizers, entrees, and drinks. My boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary here last Saturday (4/2), and we were swooning over the savory and everlasting flavors. We still cannot stop talking about the food.The service was rocky, truth be told, but Kristine’s was quick to recover their mistakes-this did not go unnoticed. Our reservation was for 7:15, and we arrived 5 minutes ahead of time for check-in. Yet, we were seated after a 7:30 reservation instead-we waited well past our time for an open table. The manager quickly noticed and offered us our first round of drinks on them.Drinks were superb, whiskey cocktails and wine. We waited roughly a half-hour for the appetizer, which was well beyond worth it. The mussels were large and beyond flavorful, lord. The sauce resembled a creamy carbonara/ Alfredo but 10000% better! Paired with crispy salty fries-we were starstruck.Following the entree, our meal came out 2 hours after being seated, lol. Literally 2 hours, at 9:40. Because of this, our appetizer and another round of drinks were generously comped. The entrees were delicious and savory, mouthwatering- dismissing the 2-hour dreadful wait.Although the restaurant was generous enough to comp parts of our meal, it was still hard to move over the matter of 2 and half hour sit down dinner from the start (waiting to be seated) to finishing the check... We purposely came out to Princeton to go to Bent Spoon across the street, but by the time our entrees came out, we asked for the check as plates were placed on the table. By the time the check was brought back, it was 9:55, and it was too late to get our Bent Spoon as they closed at 10 pm. The experience was fantastic minus the hungry period, but in all honesty, we will be returning. We came from Marlboro to Princeton (45 minutes) to celebrate with a nice dinner and ice cream, in time before we needed to be somewhere. We were well behind our anticipated plans and sadly showed up late to our last destination. Fingers crossed our next venture to Kristine’s is improved. Thank you.
