Very fresh and generous portions. For entrees, we had the rack of lamb and pan seared scallops. So delicious! We also tried the crabcake. It was lump crabmeat and no fillers. It was absolutely delicious! The chocolate peanut...

This restuarant sits near the center of town, with a parking garage next door which makes visiting there convenient. Because of this, it is usually very crowded with a long wait....the menu looks very good, using fresh ingredients, with a nice presentation of food.

Delicious steak house is a wonderful upscale addition to Princeton dining scene. Restaurant is a bit noisy, and the waiting area is a bit cramped. Expect long waits in this popular spot. Decor is vintage modern with dark wood, leather and white tile. Menu is not huge, but what is offered seems to be high quality. We shared several apps which were all tasty. Dinners were all above average.

i have never in all my nearly 25 years enjoyed eating a meal more than the dinner i ate there, outside, last weekend.

i am a picky-eater / restaurant-hater. my crabcake was perfection, the rose soda euphoric, and the way the sun hit the side of the building at 5pm was complete and utter bliss. with fabulous service and great food, you are totally missing out if you don't go.

Great Place!!!

I usually go to the Witherspoon for their signature burger and I've never been disappointed! Its filling and quite tasty!!! I've also had a lobster stew here and the chef wanted it to be just right- it took a bit longer but it was worth the wait. I was very impressed!

The Witherspoon Grill is located in the heart of Princeton, about 2 blocks from campus, and neighboring the Princeton library.

The restaurant is very nice looking and the bar is well equipped.

This is a good place to hang at the bar, or have a nice dinner.

Served in a buttery cream sauce. Steamed asparagus served on the side. Yummy.

Amazing.... with a capitol A

A buddy of mine reviews restaurants with me two or three times a month. I'll eat anything, but he prefers steak. We usually opt for places like Outback or Charlie Brown's to get a better feel for the common man, but lately these franchise joints have slipped badly. So our new strategy is to dine out less but go to higher quality and more costly restaurants. First stop, the Witherspoon Grill...
