Fresh & simply prepared seafood served in a casual atmosphere with a gorgeous patio for warm weather dining.

Dined at this quaint Princeton sea food restaurant with some international colleagues on a Tuesday evening. The sidewalk tables were full so we dined indoors. Food selection of fresh fish was fantastic, as was the service. Many fresh fish were caught literally that day or the day before. They also own the sea food store next to the restaurant. Everything was great as far as the food (** This is a BYOB restaurant) but beware of the indoor seating when this place is packed. It is VERY LOUD to the point that we could not have a conversation across the table. It spoiled our dinner which otherwise was amazing. Please, Please install noise dampers on the walls or ceiling.

I was excited to go here after reading the reviews. Less excited by far after my breakfast wrap number one. The egg white wrap was healthy...just tasteless. Well...did taste of salt. Should have gone two doors down....would not recommend. Husband enjoyed his huge carrot muffin.

Well if you want good food and service this is your place for sure, however they definitely charge NYC pricing. For 4 people the bill was $430, and half of that was alcohol. The food was excellent cooked to perfection. Not sure what kind of overhead or rent their paying in the middle of New Jersey but if youâre looking for delicious food worth it.

This is a good local restaurant/pub with a dedicated following. I've eaten there numerous times over the years. One of these days I would love to try their famous burgers, BUT they refuse to stock gluten-free rolls in spite of wait staff telling me they get requests every day for GF rolls and have told management as such. Burgers don't taste the same without a roll, so I have yet to have one. Note to management: Shoprite is 1/2 mile down the road -- go buy a package of GF rolls for goodness sake.Lack of GF rolls aside, the food is tasty and the wait staff accommodating. They have salmon and other options for GF folks. The restaurant itself is VERY noisy inside, but there is a small patio outside that is pleasant and quieter. Heat lamps outside in the transition seasons would be a wonderful addition. There is optional free valet parking (Thurs-Sat, I think) for those who want it, but there is usually parking on the street for those who eschew valets.For beer enthusiasts, you'll love the selection. All in all, a good, solid local restaurant.

A small comfortable BYOB restaurant. Two couples looking for a casual dinner experience, we narrowed our search to Peasant Grill. It was the smart choice. Bright and inviting with indoor and outdoor dinning opportunities. Efficient and pleasant ordering at the counter followed by excellent meals with attentive staff and a visit from the owners to insure we all enjoyed the experience, Don't know why it took so ling to get here, but warrants a return sooner rather than later. The meals we had included a fresh crispy salad, Eggplant Parm, Lemon basil Chicken, and Vegetable Lasagna.

We went with friends to the Blue Bottle on a Wednesday night, which is âlocalâs nightâ. That means that in addition to their regular menu, they have a prix fix menu, which is really a good deal. Many of the entrées on the regular menu are close to or over $30 and the prix fix menu is $32 for 3 courses. Three of us opted for the specials and were delighted with our salads and entrées. My husband ordered from the regular menu and was also quite pleased.However, the special dessert that two of us ordered was a disappointment. It was called âstrawberry financier with coconut gelato and raspberry coulisâ. The financier was hard as a rock and very difficult (almost impossible) to cut with spoon or fork! When I had asked what a financier was (before I ordered) the waitress went into details about how the egg yolks are whipped to a ribbon and the whites whipped to peaks and that the financier itself is similar to a meringue. Well, a meringue should be light and airy and this was anything but. It was more like a hockey puck! The dessert tasted good, but the cake itself was a disappointment. To bad to end a lovely meal that way!I have since looked up recipes for financiers and discovered that it is supposed to be a small cake (not hockey puck!) and only uses egg whites, not also yolks! It was a surprising and disappointing end to an otherwise excellent meal.Note: I would have given an "excellent" rating except that the dessert ruined the evening!Thanks for your feedback. I'm not sure what happened with the financier as it has been a long standing dessert on the menu, and I am so sorry that you didn't care for it. It sounds as if something was certainly amiss...There are no egg yolks in the cake, I will look into it a bit further and figure out the service person that gave you incorrect information. Fortunately, the menu changes weekly so it should narrow things down quickly as to who may have potentially overbaked the dessert and who doesn't know what they are serving. We appreciate your comments and hope to see you again soon. Desserts tonight are a pot de creme and a passion fruit tart, and I can personally attest to their being up to the standard that the chef has become known for. Please let me know when you are joining us for a future visit. I would love the opportunity to show you how great my financier can be...

The good news - good appetizers and good prices on them on football days and nights, and for the most part, friendly service. The less good news - the rest of the menu is surprisingly pricey for what you get, and the crowd is, let's just say, loud and the closest thing you'll get to a redneck bar near Princeton. I wouldn't take kids there, at least not on football evenings. "Fans" have no qualms about shouting at the TV, and no one seems to say anything to them. If you like cheap snacks, go there.

Amazing experience, from A to Z. Thoroughly attentive service, from the host to every waiting staff member, to Maitre Sommelier Bill. Exemplary attention to smallest detail, in-depth explanation to each and every course and beverage served, amiability and consistent skills demonstrated, all aspects deserve full and honest 5 stars. Food was excellent, fresh, seasonal, inventive, with some dishes so complicated (in a good way) - combining surprising ingredients, varying textures, aromas and flavors ideally complicating each other and highlighting the main idea behind each course. Currently, Brick Farm Tavern is the only foodie haven in the greater Princeton area, for which the staff and the owners merit a true round of applause.

The restaurant was full, so the service wasn't as attentive as I had expected, and the tables were close enough together that the conversations from adjacent tables was annoying. I noticed that none of the servers were smiling and I found that odd.I enjoyed my three appetizers and they were so filling that I didn't have room for dessert, other than a delicious glass of Warrior Port.I recommend the poached pear salad (I ordered the dressing on the side), the tuna tartare and the gnocchi (with brussel sprouts, feta and squash or pumpkin puree.)
