    Traveled over an hour to check this place out for date night. This place did not disappoint. The whole staff was very hospitable, and our server Michael was very informative about the menu and specials. We tried a few different menu items and everything we ate was beyond exceptional. Definitely will be back again !!!

    This was our first time at Jasper Stone and we had high expectations. Our server, Joe, was great - very knowledgeable and attentive. We absolutely loved out appetizer, tartare trio, and we're looking forward to our entrees. There was a bit of a snafu with getting them, we waited a very long time, so muchnso that I mentioned it to Joe and he agreed and would check on it for us. It wasn't what I thought was busy enough for a wait like that but I don't jnow what was going on in the kitchen. Our dinners came out and unfortunately my husband's was extremely undercooked and mine was a bit over. Joe had the owner Kim come speak with us and he made it right immediately. We appreciated that and the dinner was very good! My husband ordered the crispy potatoes as his side and I liked them better than my side of creamed spinach. I will say the creamed spinach was good but I happen to be overly critical of creamed apinach and felt the parmesan cheese was too heavy handed. Kim insisted that dessert was on him, which we said was not necessary, and we got the bananas foster bread pudding and pistachio cake. We also both got cappuccino, and we both said it was the best we have ever had. We loved the whimsical rock candy stick that came in it - so cute and nostalgic. The desserts though - they were both delectable and incredibly delicious! They are made in house and you can absolutely tell! All in all we veryuch enjoyed our experience and will definitely be back!

    Gathered at eno terra with my Princeton book club friends for our annual holiday lncheon on a Wednesday. Our server, Lynn, was excellent, but she was the only server seen and service was very slow. A lot of young servers walking around but none of them brought us a bread basket or asked if we needed anything. So I would say your servers need to be directed better so they are not milling about. We finally received our bread after we had all finished with our lunch. So, please give Lynn some extra help.
