“A tale of two opinions: The old man raved about his food. He had a baked seafood plate with french fries and veg. I had a baked seafood plate with rice and veg. I smiled and nodded, but the haddock was overcooked and the rice was undercooked. The scallops were fine. If he insists on returning I'll go with a sandwich and fries - the fries were good. Half of his pleasure was reminiscing about the dining scene of the last century. Smile and nod and order something with fries.”

“My fiance and I come here every Sunday night after work, and it’s become our favorite date night spot. We absolutely love the atmosphere, the staff, and the food, everything is consistently amazing! Riley and Ivana are the best bartenders. They’re always so friendly, welcoming, and personable, and they make every visit feel special. The kitchen deserves a huge shoutout too, the food is always top-tier and never disappoints. We genuinely look forward to our Sunday nights at Princeton Station every week. Highly recommend”

“Went to Princeton Station for a birthday 🎂 celebration. Our waitress Bella, was amazing making everyone including our littlest 6 month old guest feel welcome. The food was amazing. Everything fresh and delicious. I ordered an off the menu item Seafood Fra Diavo. As a retired chef myself I was truly impressed. It was amazing. We finished with a birthday cake for our birthday girl. It was a great day”

Customer Review Summary
Steak is the most frequent draw, with diners praising the 24oz prime rib, the ribeye, the filet, and a mixed grill of steak tips, chicken, and Italian sausage. Portions repeatedly come up as huge, and one table left with a couple of meals to take home. Close behind are seafood and starters: a fresh, huge stuffed haddock, an off-menu seafood fra diavolo that a retired chef was truly impressed by, a wedge salad, buffalo tenders, and a Reuben one reviewer called one of the best in a long time. Servers and bartenders earn consistent credit for being friendly, including help with a special diet request. The complaints center on the bar, where one reviewer had to ask for silverware, napkins, and steak sauce, found it too loud, and called prices high for what arrives, then suggested eating in the dining room instead. Another found the baked haddock overcooked and the rice undercooked, and a third faulted the fries. Complimentary garlic bread arrives at the table, and one reviewer advises coming in hungry.
