This restaurant is a hidden gem in the heart of Princeton! It’s so cozy, with unique and charming decor that creates a warm, inviting atmosphere. The food is incredibly fresh and tasty, with a delicious homemade feel. The nachos, in particular, were some of the best I’ve ever had. I will definitely be coming back!

Pretty good place. Lots of options including options for veggies. They delivered really quick service as well were in a hurry. Great ambience with being surrounded by the Princeton alumni weekly covers decked in the wall. Food portions are really big so be careful while ordering. The fries were nice and crisp. But the veggie burger felt salty for my taste. The veg patty was really good but it was very filling. Most of us could not finish our plates. The salad and veggie bowls were awesome. Definitely recommended

We had a great experience today at Winberie's. My husband has a lengthy list of food allergies and the Executive Chef, Steve Fitch, came out to our table to discuss alternate options that he could do to accommodate them. We were very impressed with everything we had and we will definitely be back! Garden State Gimlet, Asparagus Flatbread with hot chili oil, Ahi Tuna Burger, and the Chef's Special: Smoked Salmon BLT and Tomato Parmesean Soup (hands down, the best tomato soup and tiny croutons I have ever had). Thank you so much to everyone on staff for the best lunch and service we could have asked for

We and two friends went for lunch yesterday. The service was excellent!! I found our area to be a bit loud, but it’s a pub, so that’s to be expected. The food was good and our waitress worked with a beef allergy to ensure the chicken was fried in only vegetable oil. My three companions were served good portions. I ordered the Thai bowl and was disappointed. The taste was very good, but a scant cup of rice noodles was “garnished” with beautifully cut but tiny slivers of the vegetables listed. For the price, I expected pieces of veggies, not decoration.

Hidden gem in Princeton! I’ve been here on two occasions and had a great experience both times. Friendly, attentive service and a menu that works for everyone—whether you’re health-conscious, looking to indulge, or have allergies or dietary needs. It pleased a group of 5 celebrating together as well as a separate group of 4 with different ages and tastes. Highly recommend!

I went for dinner the other day, and it was a lovely experience! The place had a really charming atmosphere, and the service was top-notch. The food was also pretty decent, not too bad at all. I’d definitely come back again sometime!
