"I brought my Mom here for birthday dinner as it looked like a nice place with good vegetarian options. They also take reservations via Yelp, which is always super handy. Right away, I loved the internal ambiance and the high top tables. The place feels like a nice restaurant but also not something overly formal/dressy. The cocktail and wine selections were also great, I especially loved their interesting wintery take on an old fashion that included brandy cherry juice, tea, and Aztec chocolate. As for the food itself, it was yummy! Nothing mind blowing or innovative, but it is well executed American contemporary fare. They nailed the texture on my scallops and my Mom loved the vegetarian chili. The service was the highlight for me, as our waitress was super attentive and fast to bring us more drinks or water. They also gave us a mango sorbet on the house for my Mom's birthday, which is always an appreciated touch. Overall, definitely recommend this spot if you want good local food with a nice ambiance."

"When you walk in the vibe is relaxed, warm, and inviting, as if you were having dinner in a friend 's kitchen. There aren 't an overwhelming amount of choices but there is something for everyone. While you wait for your meal, enjoy the delicious flatbread. I am on a diet but everyone else loved it. What is delivered to your table is absolutely delicious. My daughter, who has eaten there before, raved about their house dressing. How excited can one get over salad dressing? It was so good. She ordered the Parpadelle Meat Sauce. She loved it. It was a lot so she took half of it home. Her boyfriend had the Apricot Walnut Salad. It looked delicious and he really enjoyed it. As I mentioned, I am on a diet so I was happy to see the variety of salads. I ordered the Pasta Fazool, yum, and the Beet Goat Cheese Salad; I added Shrimp. It was delicious, especially the shrimp, well seasoned, and they weren 't cheap on the beets or goat cheese which made me happy. It was topped with that salad dressing and, my daughter was right, it was delicious. My husband, whom we affectionately refer to as Bob the Food Snob , had the Frutta del Mar. He always sends his food back but loved this dish. The pasta is fresh, the sauce perfectly seasoned. We ended the evening with zeppole shared for the table. It comes with Nutella. My daughter 's boyfriend joked that zeppole filled with cannoli cream would be outrageously delicious. I ordered that and the Nutella. I expected the cannoli cream to be typical. It was really light. Yes, I had a taste because they were all talking about it and dessert is my thing. Brad was right, zeppole and cannoli cream is delicious. Put that on the menu! We are going back!"

"I've been to this restaurant three times. The first visit was fantastic—I went straight to the bar for appetizers and drinks, and everything was amazing. However, my second experience wasn't as pleasant; the maitre d' was quite rude, although the sommelier was excellent. My most recent visit, which I had with my girlfriend, was also disappointing. The host was unfriendly and standoffish despite us having a reservation. We were five minutes late and ended up waiting for about ten minutes, while other people were seated before us. I was getting a bit frustrated and wondered how long it would take. Fortunately, Chef Joe was there and came over to apologize, which made things better. He continued to check on us throughout the evening. Overall, the staff and the chef were great, but the host’s attitude was really off-putting."

"Update: 4/10/2022 Came here recently with my wife on our way back from Philly. Hadn’t been here since the pandemic and was pleasantly surprised to see that this place was still here. Ordered the same thing I always do and quality is still good. I’m so glad this little gem of a place is still in business. Prices have gone up a little but so has everything and most restaurants since the pandemic. A hidden gem. Ok, so it’s not one of those fancy Tokyo or New York quality sushi but then again, you’re not paying $500 for dinner (per person) either. I always eat the same thing here — the battered squid dinner plate or lunch, if you’re having it at lunch, with a squid roll and it comes with salad, too. My wife orders the Sushi Boy A or B. It’s a combo plate of such I. And there are lots of other great choices. So far, everyone I’ve taken there, really like the sushi. By the way, my wife is Japanese and she loves sushi (she knows what’s authentic and what’s not). I’ve been to so many of those all-you-can-eat sushi buffet joints where you pay anywhere from $12-20 per person but always end up disappointed. No one would expect to find this place...It’s in a hidden food court surrounded by stores like Gymboree and offices, etc near the Westin hotel in the Princeton Forrestal Village square. While it may be off the beaten path, this place will not disappoint. I’ve been going there for at least 7 years."

"My first impression of the restaurant was quite positive, especially for vegans. I visited for lunch on a weekday and was able to get a table right away. We ordered two bowls with purple rice and one dish of noodles, all of which were delicious. The steamed dumplings were also quite tasty. Don't miss out on their carrot-apple or carrot-orange juices—they're very filling! The food was served quickly, and the portion sizes were generous. We all ended up asking for take-out boxes. The restaurant is clean and kid-friendly, and parking is not a problem at all."
