    If you don't want energetic levels of ambient sound, simply go on a weeknight. But do go! Very good menu selections, and over-the-top desserts, if you like that sort of thing. More Revolutionary War treatments in the same-era building than a history buff could enjoy in one seating. Any friendly to ALL who come in! Loved it. Going back ASAP!

    My friend and I had a lovely brunch. Espresso Martinis (who knew they were a good brunch accompaniment - they did) and sandwiches (turkey club for friend and bacon/egg/cheese for me). I am not a huge tater-tot fan, but theirs were super crispy and tasty. It also has what seemed to be a popular local bar and a little shop. Loved it.

    It was going back in time. Loved the atmosphere. Food was excellent and the service was good. Only downside was the noise level was somewhat loud. Overall a very pleasing experience. I will be going back.

    Not prepared for Valentines Day. Way overbooked. We were put in some upstairs overflow area overlooking the liquor store. Not very romantic. Took a while to even set the tables. We left without ordering. Very disappointing.

    Very busy on Valentine’s Day, but they handled it well! We waited at the bar and had a drink before our table was ready. We sat upstairs where it was quiet and very pretty! Great service, delicious food (we had the surf & turf special), and took our dessert home as the food portion was quite large. Also, Shray in the liquor store portion of the establishment was very knowledgeable and so kind. Looking forward to our next visit!
    The Cranbury InnResponded on February 21, 2025
    We're delighted to hear that you had such a positive experience on Valentine's Day! We know it was a busy night, and we're glad our team handled it well. It's fantastic that you enjoyed the upstairs ambiance, the surf & turf special, and Shray's assistance. We can't wait to welcome you back!"
