Our server was HEATHER who was training a new guy that I truly felt sorry for and I wish I could have tipped him for his work but they don't let trainees accept tips....more on that later. We had reservations and we were seated at one of those tiny booths despite the fact that 3 of the bigger booths were empty . We asked HEATHER if we could be moved to one of the bigger booths and she told us that those were for reservations only. We informed her that we did indeed have reservations and she rolled her eyes and walked away to get the host. The host came over and explained that the bigger booths were for parties of 3 or more who had reservations, we had no problem accepting this reason. However, this was a lie because they eventually did seat only 2 people at 2 of the available big booths. From that point on our server HEATHER refused to even look at our table. She would walk by throughout the night but did not say one word to us or provide service to our table at all. Fifteen minutes went by before she sent her trainee back to take our order and after he did the menus were left on the table, as were the empty plates from our appetizers/soups. We eventually had to request that someone bus our table and take our menus. The trainee seemed to be trying but he was getting no direction from HEATHER. I use to be server and generally tip over 20% because I know that is usually the only money servers make. I asked who would be receiving the tip and I was informed it would be HEATHER'S tip. I could not accept this as she had provided absolutely no service to our table. For the first time in my life, I left no tip. If this place has HEATHER training people, then it implies she is one of their better servers, which is a scary thought. Food was eh considering the price, and the service was the worst I've ever experienced. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere.

This is a very attractive restaurant, new and filled with warm colors, lots of wood and a fireplace. Pretty. Excellent hostess the night we were there, though our waitress was only fair. It's a very National Corporate kind of restaurant; lots of menu choices, mostly decent but nothing stellar. Thankfully, there is a full bar. Lots of free parking which is a treat for this L.A. gal.

Pre -Mother's day and theater dinner. Excellent burgers, but the main room is the height of a basketball arena and while, visually pleasing, we had to shout to each other at the table. Perhaps the booths are better. Great service on a busy Saturday night and wish we had more time to linger and have dessert. Otherwise, great place for groups and good energy. Get some baffles, the place is just too darn noisy.

I have had the chop dinner which is a double cut pork chop many times at the Salt Creek location in Rumsom NJ and have enjoyed it every time. This was our first experience with the location in Princeton, NJ. The chop was lukewarm and not up to the Rumson standard. We actually only went to Princeton because Rumson was booked up.

Had a group of 6 post-meeting. Appetizers and Dinner were great. Had an issue with a steak, which they quickly offered and took off the check. 1/2 price wine by the glass (Wednesday) was great.

It is way too loud to have dinner there, lunch is ok. Big bar scene after work and you have to fight your way through to get to the outside at times. If eating dinner inside, you actually have to talk VERY loud for the person next to you to hear. Dinner food is just ok, nothing to write home about.
