- MMicheleNew Jersey •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoThe food was delicious! We started with the bang bang shrimp. They were amazing! I had the beef stew with risotto. The beef was so tender; you could cut it with a fork. For dessert, we shared the tartufo. That was heaven on a plate. Our server was great and answered all of our questions. We were celebrating my husband's birthday and the server put a candle in our dessert and even sang happy birthday to him. It was super sweet.More infoMetro NorthPrice: Expensive• Italian• Princeton•4.8
- HHelenNew Jersey •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoOur server was friendly, personable and helpful with her suggestions on the wine etc. The food was tasty with properly sized portions. We all ordered from the main entree part of the menu, though would love to go back and try items from the tapas section too. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting. Definitely would recommend.More infoMediterraPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• Princeton•4.7
- EEverettVIPNew York City •6 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoWe took our attorney and his wife to dinner to express our gratitude for special work he did for us this year. In jest he said he wanted to go to the best. We chose Elements. At the end of the first course, the verdict was: "I think this is the best tuna tartare I have ever had." At the end of the meal, over coffee, the verdict was similarly stated, "This is one of the best meals I have ever eaten." Scott, thank you for making this gift such a success. Indeed, you are the "best."More infoElements RestaurantPrice: Very Expensive• American• Princeton•4.6
- LLanaVIPNew York City •14 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoThe food was great. Only gave four stars because there were two dishes (out of 10; one was a salad and the other a special) that people weren’t totally happy with. But most of the table said their meal was delicious. The vibe is great though. Cool lounge where you can get a drink while you wait for your table.More infoTriumph Restaurant and BreweryPrice: Expensive• American• Princeton•4.4
