Thoughts
I never got around to writing this full review and my memory is too foggy to do it justice now.  I'm eager to get back when I'm home; it feels like a good place to have a fancier-than-average meal.  The waitress was happy to answer my questions about their sources - I felt comfortable asking since they advertised it all over their menu.  The pickled plate is quickly becoming one of my favorite things at any restaurant and their's didn't disappoint.  At my asking, they sent me a copy of the recipe for the beets.  It didn't turn out nearly as well as what I had at the there, but it I'll try again sometime.  I didn't check out their bar, but it seemed quite well-stocked.

Recap
Pros - Tasty food with an emphasis on local sources
Cons - I can't remember anything that stands out
Overall - Go here for a nice night out in Princeton.  It'd probably be good for after drinks, though I may be looking for any excuse to have the pickled plate.
