I came here last night with my husband and parents. We all really enjoyed our food. The place was packed on a Monday night. Our waitress was very attentive. My crab cakes were so delicious! The peanut butter pie was one of the best that I have ever had (and I have tried a lot). Definitely would go back when in the area again!

Visited here on a cold November evening, after dinner out. Not many customers were inside, and the place felt a bit worn out. The kids working behind the counter were friendly and very helpful. There were lots of ice cream choices. We tried three of them, and they were good, but not great. In particular, I've had creamier and more flavorful ice cream elsewhere. The latte that I had was very good. I should add that the ice cream and coffee was much cheaper than expected. It's not a bad place to stop off for a quick treat, without spending a fortune. There are just other places that have ice cream that, for me, is more likely to get me to go out of my way (and perhaps pay a bit more).

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

It has been a few months since we visited Blue Point Grill ( we frequently purchase take out cooked shrimp at its adjoining Nassau Seafood) and once again had a very good experience. For entrees we had the flounder and fried shrimp; both were excellent and the portion sizes good. Our server (and her associates) was very attentive (she kept the iced tea coming for me...thanks). Some might consider it a little 'pricey' but for the overall quality of the food and service; it is worth it.
6. Aja Asian Cuisine and Lounge

In the 1950's the WWI was the place to go. Since it closed, every "new" restaurant has closed, gone out of business. As for Aja, it's not a question of if it will close; it's only a question of when.
For starters, Aja has some of the rudest, indifferent, incompetent bar tenders in central NJ. There is nothing worse than some flunky acting like she is doing you a favor by acknowledging you after a 10 minute wait. We should have left as soon as it was clear to us that the (rhymes with itch) felt she was doing us a favor by waiting on us. Our mistake.
By staying we subjected us to indifferent service, cold soup, and poorly prepared sushi. We finally came to our senses and walked out. Proceeded go to the "well known road house" down the street where we were warmly welcomed and provided with both good service and good food.
Long story short ..... if you go here you are in need of an intervention.

I was looking for a quick bite on the holiday and came across Olives. I tried the chicken souvlaki wrap and fruit salad. The sandwich was made in view, served hot. The fruit salad was fresh and of good quality. The only downside is inadequate seating. I had to settle for the bench outdoor and I was lucky to find it!
I do recommend this place for take out!!!

Located at the mouth of the Delaware and Raritan Canal in the historic Village of Kingston – equidistant from New York and Philadelphia – Eno Terra is the central meeting place for lovers of good food and exceptional wine. Eno Terra is founded on the principle of regionalism, drawing from local renewable resources, supporting local purchasing, and local investing. Eno Terra, in line with the philosophy: “Eat Local, Drink Global,” brings together the best of local and regional markets and pairs cuisine with the best wines from around the world. Eno Terra is dedicated to savoring and persevering time, tradition and the human senses, Eno Terra was built upon the original timbers of the nineteenth century general store Fisk Grocery. The building is home to an 1100 square-foot restored two-story Bar and Wine cellar featuring original timbers with Mortise and Tenon joints and tree pin nails. The building is also decorated by various Kingston area artists.

This review is long overdue. While living in Princeton, I often enjoyed dining at Eno Terra with family and friends. Although it's located on Rt. 27 in Kingston, the restaurant borders Princeton, and, in my opinion, is the finest in the area. The food is fresh, local with great attention to detail and fine ingredients. In many respects, it reminds me of the small restaurants one would encounter while travelling through Italy where simple fare is fresh and full of flavor. Recently, our party had lunch there and enjoyed the zitoni, pan seared octopus and the Flat Iron steak with crispy potatoes. Eno Terra also offers a daily "Pranzo a Presto" three course luncheon which changes daily for $22. For the amount and quality of food, the price can't be beat! The rustic touches indoors and outside add to the lovely ambiance. The servers are always helpful and efficient. I highly recommend this restaurant and can't wait to return!

We don't eat out often for breakfast, but when we do, we head to the Boro Bean. The waffles with fruit toppings are absolutely delicous. It's a nice atmosphere and lovely cafe in the middle of Hopewell.

After giving up cappuccinos/coffee for almost 8 years, Small World Coffee got me hooked once more! Not only are their cappuccinos the best i've had anywhere, they make them with incredible consistency across all of their (super friendly) baristas. There is a nice selection of muffins and baked snacks on hand.
The Witherspoon St. location has a great college town vibe, with a wide range of people sitting at tables, chatting or working on laptops. They also have live music in the evening several times a month. This is a must try if visiting (or living in!) Princeton.
