We think food is a universal language -- it brings us together and nourishes us. In Latin, "Agricola" means "farmer," which embodies our farm to table spirit and our dedication to community and comfort. There is nothing we enjoy more than gathering old fr

Agricola is a farm. To table venue with a very nice atmosphere whether you sit in the bar, open kitchen or one of the more private rooms. Excellent bar, friendly, knowledgeable service and a well curated menu. I enjoyed the pork chop with a tasty, Asian hinted sauce. My wife had a halibut that was slightly over cooked and needed. More. Seasoning but came with a nice accompaniment and was not bad. The stars were our appetizers, a mushroom flatbread and a Spanish octapus with Chorizo. Berry crumble dessert was excellent- price and value not bad, especially considering the location. We would definitely return

Dined at this quaint Princeton sea food restaurant with some international colleagues on a Tuesday evening. The sidewalk tables were full so we dined indoors. Food selection of fresh fish was fantastic, as was the service. Many fresh fish were caught literally that day or the day before. They also own the sea food store next to the restaurant. Everything was great as far as the food (** This is a BYOB restaurant) but beware of the indoor seating when this place is packed. It is VERY LOUD to the point that we could not have a conversation across the table. It spoiled our dinner which otherwise was amazing. Please, Please install noise dampers on the walls or ceiling.

One point of aggression that I found very frustrating is that we intentionally met at 5 PM to enjoy their reasonably priced happy hour and still we treating 9 guests to dinner with our table reservationâso they knew they would make their money from us. But the waiter refused to serve us the Happy Hour drink specials at our table and said it was for bar service only. We said okayâweâll order our 3 drinks at the bar but want to bring them to the table since we are hosting six guests and want to be at our table when they arrive. The waiter said that would not be allowed. If the drink is ordered at the bar it must be consumed at the bar, not taken to a dining table. So then he proceeded to talk my colleagues into expensive glasses of wine from the non-Happy Hour menu. In a spirit of priests, I waited until Happy Hour was over before ordering my full price wine. UGH!The food was okay. The tuna avocado martini smelled fishy and a few of our guests tried a bite but that appetizer went pretty much uneaten. The bread was a decent sourdough, but when the basket ran out no one refilled it. That said, my entree of beef short ribs was fantastic! Heavy with the mashed potatoes, but really tender, not fatty, and super flavorful. So a 2 for service and a 4 for foodâquality varied by what people ordered.

I was excited to go here after reading the reviews. Less excited by far after my breakfast wrap number one. The egg white wrap was healthy...just tasteless. Well...did taste of salt. Should have gone two doors down....would not recommend. Husband enjoyed his huge carrot muffin.

In a cozy and quaint town of Hopewell exists a European bistro that quite frankly needs a whole bunch of renovation but still serves up some of the best Schnitzel and Goulash in the area. Susie who doesn't mind coming out from the kitchen and greeting her guests Both dishes were outstanding except for the Spaetzle which lacked character and umpf. the schnitzel was nicely crisp on the outside yet tender on the inside. The goulash was excellent but the portion for me was too smallTristen the bartender was so very accommodating after she warmed up to us.Overall, a great place to have a drink and a great East European dinner Thank you Susie

A ride into the country side brought us to Orlando Cafe. Felt like I walked into the friendly Mayberry, N.C,.dinner. Great local feeling and absolutely delicious food. AND not expensive by a whole bunch. Waitress was cordial, and had a warm friendly smile and attitude. A very uplifting feeling when you entered. I had the walnut chicken salad that was uncomparably good to any walnut chicken salad I have had in a long time.Parking was plentiful and waitress provide refills with the smoothness of motion.Yes, we will definitely comeback more than once.

Amazing experience, from A to Z. Thoroughly attentive service, from the host to every waiting staff member, to Maitre Sommelier Bill. Exemplary attention to smallest detail, in-depth explanation to each and every course and beverage served, amiability and consistent skills demonstrated, all aspects deserve full and honest 5 stars. Food was excellent, fresh, seasonal, inventive, with some dishes so complicated (in a good way) - combining surprising ingredients, varying textures, aromas and flavors ideally complicating each other and highlighting the main idea behind each course. Currently, Brick Farm Tavern is the only foodie haven in the greater Princeton area, for which the staff and the owners merit a true round of applause.

We went with friends to the Blue Bottle on a Wednesday night, which is âlocalâs nightâ. That means that in addition to their regular menu, they have a prix fix menu, which is really a good deal. Many of the entrées on the regular menu are close to or over $30 and the prix fix menu is $32 for 3 courses. Three of us opted for the specials and were delighted with our salads and entrées. My husband ordered from the regular menu and was also quite pleased.However, the special dessert that two of us ordered was a disappointment. It was called âstrawberry financier with coconut gelato and raspberry coulisâ. The financier was hard as a rock and very difficult (almost impossible) to cut with spoon or fork! When I had asked what a financier was (before I ordered) the waitress went into details about how the egg yolks are whipped to a ribbon and the whites whipped to peaks and that the financier itself is similar to a meringue. Well, a meringue should be light and airy and this was anything but. It was more like a hockey puck! The dessert tasted good, but the cake itself was a disappointment. To bad to end a lovely meal that way!I have since looked up recipes for financiers and discovered that it is supposed to be a small cake (not hockey puck!) and only uses egg whites, not also yolks! It was a surprising and disappointing end to an otherwise excellent meal.Note: I would have given an "excellent" rating except that the dessert ruined the evening!Thanks for your feedback. I'm not sure what happened with the financier as it has been a long standing dessert on the menu, and I am so sorry that you didn't care for it. It sounds as if something was certainly amiss...There are no egg yolks in the cake, I will look into it a bit further and figure out the service person that gave you incorrect information. Fortunately, the menu changes weekly so it should narrow things down quickly as to who may have potentially overbaked the dessert and who doesn't know what they are serving. We appreciate your comments and hope to see you again soon. Desserts tonight are a pot de creme and a passion fruit tart, and I can personally attest to their being up to the standard that the chef has become known for. Please let me know when you are joining us for a future visit. I would love the opportunity to show you how great my financier can be...

A small comfortable BYOB restaurant. Two couples looking for a casual dinner experience, we narrowed our search to Peasant Grill. It was the smart choice. Bright and inviting with indoor and outdoor dinning opportunities. Efficient and pleasant ordering at the counter followed by excellent meals with attentive staff and a visit from the owners to insure we all enjoyed the experience, Don't know why it took so ling to get here, but warrants a return sooner rather than later. The meals we had included a fresh crispy salad, Eggplant Parm, Lemon basil Chicken, and Vegetable Lasagna.
