I took my husband and sister to this restaurant in Princeton, hoping for a lovely meal while out on the town. We made a reservation and dressed up for what we anticipated would be a fancy dinner. The ambiance was beautiful, though the music was surprisingly loud for a steakhouse. Definitely recommend making a reservation, as the place fills up quickly.
We ordered drinks, and unfortunately, they were quite disappointing. We tried the sangria, old fashioned, and a non-alcoholic mule. The mule was the best of the three, while the old fashioned, their signature cocktail, didn’t meet our expectations, and the sangria was overly bitter.
The complimentary bread was stale and tough, which set the tone for the rest of the meal. We ordered steaks, a crab cake platter, and mac and cheese with fries as sides. The steak was especially disappointing - lacking seasoning and flavor, which is surprising for a steakhouse. The sides were nothing to write home about, particularly at $15 for a small portion of unseasoned fries. The mac and cheese was bland; I could easily make better at home. The crab cake platter was good, I'll give them that.
Service was average but slow - we had to wait quite a while for boxes and the check, and it was difficult to flag someone down. I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, as it may have been an off night, but overall, everything from the drinks to the sides left us wanting more. Given the prices, I wouldn't say it was worth it.

Five star experience at a very elegant restaurant with high-quality food and an expensive menu. Outdoor seating and very comfortable air-conditioned indoor interior. Very comfortable seating.

Witherspoon Grill in Princeton has become one of my go-to spots, and for good reason. Each visit has been consistently enjoyable, leaving me eager to return. One standout aspect is their fig-infused Old Fashioned, a cocktail that perfectly balances sweetness and sophistication. It's a must-try for any cocktail enthusiast.
The seafood tower is another highlight that never fails to impress. It’s a fantastic way to start the meal, featuring a fresh and varied selection of seafood that is both visually stunning and delicious. Moving on to the entrees, I’ve always found them to be reliably pleasant. Whether I’m in the mood for steak, seafood, or something else, the quality and flavors are consistently excellent.
The ambiance and service further elevate the dining experience, making it a place I look forward to visiting again and again. If you’re in Princeton and looking for a spot that delivers good food and drinks every time, Witherspoon Grill is definitely worth checking out.

Great place and ambiance overall. Very upscale and classy feeling throughout. The crab and artichoke dip was amazing along with the pork chop. Definitely going back. On the pricier side but it is a steakhouse in Princeton.

This restaurant is top notch 👌🏼 I dined in here on Friday evening and since we got sat until we left the experience has been amazing. All the bussers were very attentive, made sure our water glasses were always full, our server Ana was great and the food was absolutely amazing, the ribeye and lamb chops were cooked to perfection. The ambiance was really nice too. I would definitely come back!
