Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Lawrenceville

Our server was excellent. The butternut squash soup is delicious.

Lucca’s is an oasis in a vast wasteland. The food, service and ambiance are great. But what sets this place apart from other great Italian restaurants is the live music. As a musician myself, I can assure you that the live music at Lucca’ is not just nice. It’s phenomenal — seriously fantastic pro musicians and great singer. (We heard Eddie Bruce sing and he is nothing short of terrific.) No other restaurant in the philly area has this kind of tremendous vibe. When you go, show some respect and dress up !! Love the dress code, too. As a first timer, I just can’t say enough good things about this spot.

We have been to Triumph a couple of times before and enjoyed it so much that we brought friends of ours that had not yet been to the restaurant. It was a lovely meal and great ambience. There was a bit of a hiccup with the timing of one of our main courses but was handled very nicely by the manager, which is always a good sign of a well run establishment. It's a great addition to the Princeton dining scene and we look forward to returning very soon!

Mediterra is hands down our favorite restaurant in Princeton. The servers are attentive and helpful, the bartenders and chefs are top notch, and we've never ordered anything off their pleasing menu we didn't love. Their pastaless lasagna (a vegetarian dish) is the best I've ever had anywhere (and I'm not even vegetarian.) Their homemade whole grain bread is outstanding (as is the seasoned olive oil they serve as an accompaniment) and we always enjoy their shellfish, cocktails and seafood, too. Plus, they're open all day, for those who like later lunches and they have a great dog-friendly outdoor seating area with heaters for cooler days. My only complaint, if you can call it that, is that I do so wish they'd bring back their delectable mushroom tacos and continue the vegan menu they offered last month, as we have many vegan friends we'd like to invite. That said, they are very accommodating about making adjustments to existing offerings where they can. Oh, and fabulous cocktails and wine menu too.

The food was delicious. The service was excellent. A lot of the interior decorations was left over from the previous restaurant (Palace of Asia). All in all, a very enjoyable dinner.
