“ Amazing restaurant! I finally had the opportunity to visit The Barn. It definitely was NOT disappointing. We started with friendly staff and our waiter John was very attentive and familiar with the menu from drinks to food. We started with the spinach artichoke dip with warm pita bread. Best spinach artichoke dip I ever had. Then we went on to have the mussels with focaccia bread. We were impressed with the sauce for the mussels and the focaccia is worth ordering on the side. Our meals were beyond superb, pan seared cod, braised short ribs and spring chicken. Drinks were fantastic. Deserts were very good. You must visit the Barn!!! ”
“ I’m always impressed with the food, the menus change frequently over than for a few staples but rest assured - all of the food is absolutely amazing. The dishes are well thought-out, their cocktails are amazing, and the service is always top-tier. They are very consistent and I can’t think of a single time I was unimpressed with my meal. I had the steak tips but have had their wings in the past. I wish I had taken photos but it is a beautiful location. ”
“ We found this place avoiding traffic on RT2. As we passed by all the cars and the rustic look of this place drew my wife and I in. Well, we stopped in and have a fantastic dinner, drinks and desert. One of the owners stopped by to ask about our meals, my schnitzel meal snd my wife’s chefs signature Bolognese was thank you simply fantastic. A short discussion later, our parents shared basically the same story departing the Czech Republic to start an adventurous life in America, leaving behind all they knew. So, the food was great, drinks fantastic with a decent beer list. My wife had the black forest, old-fashioned, which she loved. This will certainly be a place we visit again since our visit here was fantastic. 2 thumbs up for sure, Thanks to our waitress Zoey and Gabby.. Thanks for a good evening, see you again soon. ”
“ The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff is super friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Fresh ingredients and full of flavor. You can tell they really care about the food they serve. Well worth the drive. Hidden gem! ”
“ Very quaint restaurant tucked in a quiet area of Princeton. No reservations for parties under 8 accepted, but we had no difficulty finding a table in the main dining room around 5:30 on Saturday in November. The cocktails and mock-tails were delicious as were the main entrees. We chose the duck special, which had rice, squash, cranberries, and walnuts along with the gluten free risotto and scallops. The server, Alexa, was exceptional as were the rest of the restaurant staff. Very upbeat, knowledgeable, and friendly. We will definitely be back in the future. ”
