    Very very good. Nice service. We really appreciated how they split an entree for two of us so we could try multiple small plates as well. The recommended wine was lovely. If we lived here, this place would be a regular spot.

    Triumph Brewery in Princeton is in the old post office building. This environment is perfect for a restaurant: high ceilings, much wood, and tables happily spaced so one can have a conversation AND hear. The food is nicely prepared and presented. Try the Cubano sandwich—amazingly good; and fries amongst best in Princeton. Service is helpful. Kitchen somewhat slow.
