I love this restaurant! Everything was delicious. I went with coworkers and we all agreed everything was top notch. Shout out to my waitress, Sophia, she was fantastic! Out of everything, I mostly enjoyed the homemade/fresh pasta and lemon cheesecake. We ordered a bunch of stuff and shared so we could taste it all. If you're looking for something with lots of creative and delicious options, I recommend this restaurant.

Three of us had to find dinner early, so we walked into The Meeting House shortly after it opened. It would not be fair to rate the vibe although it was getting busier, especially at the bar, by time we left. My usual before dinner Manhattan was good if not a bit heavy on the vermouth. Didn't stop me from enjoying it. We shared the House Hummus for starters, and it was excellent. Could do with a few more pieces of pita bread without asking. For my main course I chose the Seared Salmon. The salmon was not a generous size at all, but was cooked perfectly, skin on and crispy. It was surrounded by lightly pickled cucumbers and grilled zuccinni on a bed of couscous and grilled corn, all of which were very good. There was a ring of cumin forward harissa around the plate, which seemed unnecessary, but that's just me. The other diners had the Fried Chicken, which had a hint of coconut, was very good, but not meaty pieces; and the Braised Short Ribs were ok, but just short of melt in your mouth tender. My overall impression: the service was very good, the food was good, and not worth complaining about, but it fell short of a good value when you get the check. They don't offer bread

In town on business and had a great experience. Food was perfectly cooked and presented well. If you ever see a fried green tomato (anything) on a menu, it's wise to get it. This was no exception and adding burrata makes it even better. I chose the braised short rib as I was eating late and would be an easier meal for the kitchen (as that is typically cooked earlier and reheated, impossible to cook on demand 😜) and it was fantastic. Got a light/fresh cocktail as it's what I was in the mood for but a nice glass of red would be better paired of course and they had great offerings. Definitely would go back and unfortunately I went the last night I was in town otherwise I would have gone multiple times.

Had an awesome brunch at The Meeting House. The space is modern and clean, which made it easy to just relax and enjoy the whole experience. The pancakes were the highlight. Huge, fluffy, and melt in your mouth. Easily some of the best I’ve had. The bacon was perfectly crisp and the sunny side eggs were cooked just right. Tried the Reuben too. Great flavor overall, though the pastrami was a little tough. The fries were really good and honestly reminded me of Five Guys. Overall, one of the best brunch spots in Princeton. Definitely coming back to try more.

I hosted an intimate engagement party at The Meeting House and couldn’t have chosen a better venue. The space was warm, beautiful, and perfect for celebrating with close family and friends. The food and drinks were excellent β€” everything felt elevated but still approachable β€” and the cocktails were a big hit with our guests. The staff was attentive, organized, and made the entire evening feel effortless, which allowed us to truly enjoy the celebration without worrying about logistics. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and memorable. Our event planner, Jeremy was extremely professional, quick to respond and accommodating to every one of our needs. Highly recommend The Meeting House for private events and special occasions β€” it was the perfect setting for such an important moment in our lives.
