"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 show"
