Nice restaurant and bar in Princeton NJ. Friendly staff, great food, outdoor dining and in the hub of Palmer square. Brings me back to some good ole days.
Five words salmon and polenta was excellent. The cocktails were great as well they were not watered down at all. Definitely got my moneys worth. Top shelf! I ate outside on the patio this particular day and it was lovely it has a great ambience. There was a live band performance in the Square. The only thing that needed improvement honestly was the server but the food made up for everything . I would definitely go back again and will.
Service was great
Had a celebration last night, where we have been celebrating many occasions for the last 20yrs. We were rushed through dinner, and at 9:30 a very rude "blonde" server, informed us, it was time to leave, and she turned on the house lights! Thanks to an observant Manager, she quickly apologized and bought us a round of drinks. Unfortunately, Witherspoon Grill has become nothing more than an expensive tourist trap! The steaks are better at Brick Farm, Eno Terra
Another European review in Princeton.I liked this place.Very central location eating in and outside.Dedicated, knowledgeable and kind staff.Very good serviceNice food presentation and quite large selectionGood quality
Had reservations with a friend on a Friday at 6:30pm. Place was super packed already but we were seated immediately. I ordered the blood orange martini and later on a white martini. Both were delicious and served fast. For an app I ordered the tuna avocado martini which was fresh, seasoned perfectly, and also arrived quickly.However our entrees didn't get to us until 8pm. I ordered the strip steak (medium) with mac and cheese side and my friend got the filet mignon (medium rare) with a baked potato side. I figured they went out to pick the cow for slaughter with how long it took to get to our table. You'd think with the long wait that at least the food would be good right? My strip was supposed to be 12oz but it was smaller than my friend's 8oz filet and it came out charred and overcooked. The mac and cheese was so bland! I don't think it had any salt at all. The fried onions were crispy but also bland and the wedge of tomato is so pointless. It's like the tomato you get in the boring pizza joint salads that have no business even existing. Maybe they think 1/4th of a tomato takes some guilt off all the calories you're about to consume. My friend's baked potato was really sad too. You'd think for $9 they'd do it up for you but it came out like a halved plain Idaho potato with some sides you could put on yourself. My fries were crispy and thankfully well seasoned. We didn't send anything back because if it took an hour to get our entrées, imagine how long we'd have to sit there before we actually got to eat.I ordered the crème brûlée for dessert which actually arrived quickly and tasted great. The crispy burnt sugar on top along with the blueberries were delicious. My friend got the chocolate peanutbutter lava cake which was also delicious. It got served with blueberries which we found a bit odd like they were trying to use up their blueberry inventory and threw it on there for funsies. Not really a fruit I'd say makes sense with peanutbutter.Our waiter was kind but not really attentive. To be fair I wouldn't pay much attention either when food takes an hour to get to tables. Maybe they were out harvesting the tomatoes they make seem so special by mentioning it on the menu (it really is just a plain tomato wedge they throw on your plate). In the end he mistakenly gave us someone else's check.
Even though our party’s reservation was for 7:45pm, and the restaurant closed at 8pm, we were still served very well none the less! I was SO happy with our waiter. I didn’t get his name; but he had earrings, a mustache beard combo, reddish hair (might’ve been the lighting), on the shorter side, white guy. EXCELLENT WAITER, It was my grandmother’s 91st birthday and he was SO courteous and nice. Excellent service, even though he was given a table of 9 and was by himself. $100+ tip for him!! If he sees this, you deserve every dime, you seem like a you have a beautiful soul! He also had a gorgeous smile. ANYWAYS, enough about the waiter. The food was great, came out at a great time as well. The calamari was great, although I didn’t get a picture of it. 9.5/10 would most likely come back, definitely because of the waiter lol
I went here with a friend and his family. Everything we ordered was great. The spinach/artichoke dip was awesome. My friend's wife and I (not as weird as it sounds) split the salmon club and Cobb salad- both were great. My friend got a short rib sandwich that he wouldn't shut up about. The two kids both got chicken tenders and fries- must have been good, because they are everything. The beer selection is pretty good too. I'd definitely like to come back if I'm in Princeton again.
A fine dining restaurant. Good atmosphere. Nice wine selection. You'll enjoy
Delicious oysters and cocktails. Salmon was cooked perfectly and my friend’s steak and mashed potatoes were to die for!
