The covered patio is really nice in the summer. Short and uninspired menu. I love grilled mediterranean branzino; not sure what happened here-seemed steamed with no flavor. Two diners has the âlasagneâ with eggplant, which they didnât like much. Smoked fish appetizer was too salty. Itâs slipped quite a bit since I last dined here.

I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. There were things on this menu that I've only ever seen on menus in Greece! Everything we ate was absolutely delicious (though the saganaki deserves special mention--it was a revelation). Excellent service too. What a joy to discover this restaurant!

This is a nice little tapas restaurant on the edge of the center of Princeton. Downstairs is a small market where you can buy assorted meats and cooking ingredients like chorizo. The restaurant is located upstairs with an assortment of high tops and tables. Dress is casual but the food is pricey. They have a great selection of meat, veggie and seafood based tapas. Each one was great. The eggplant and the fried chorizo were both very good. We had several tapas and shared a paella. The paella was good but not great. The service was very friendly but not overly attentive even though it looked to be a slow night. They have outdoor seating during the warmer months. We look forward to trying again to sit outside. This is a BYOB restaurant but they do sell bottles and half bottles of wine and mixes for drinks. Definitely will go back for the tapas.

Great food for breakfast or lunch or snacks in between. The mission provides meaningful jobs for people with disabilities and also provides delicious reasonable food with pleasant indoor and outdoor seating. They post a new menu everyday. All sounds and is gourmet like, with a French and natural touch. Coffees are excellent Lavazza (Italian) and teas are the best- Palais des Thés (France).Friendly, efficient service with a fine ambiance. The establishment is run as a non-profit organization and provides an excellent service to the employees, to the community of Princeton and to visitors at the Princeton Shopping Center on Harrison Street North.

Nothing special about the food. The portion sizes are pretty small. They should look into adding a bit more of variety in their menu.
