My friends conveniently live behind Lahiere's and one night we observed from the patio, a clear view of the Lahiere's bathroom. I would not recommend the wine-preferably any white wine as one of the waiters was taking pleasure in getting back at an unsuspecting customer this summer evening by adding his own special "ingredient" We observed this, of course after... more

This "insitutional" Princeton restaurant seems to have deteriorated both in food quality and service. It took the server more than 20 minutes to take drink orders. My gnocchi appetizer consisted of approx. 10 gnocchi covered by 2 large pieces of bacon or ham. Not very tasty and without any complexity of taste. Both my husband and I ordered the tuna... more

It seems now that all prices in Princeton are almost the same. Lahiere's food is always great. The wine list is the best in Princeton and lunch is a hidden jewel. more

Just do not go there. Went there on August 29th, 2009 with my husband. The interior appearance is outdated, looks like it needs at least some cleaning. It also smells inside. Hostess appearance is totally not professional and not friendly. Waiters are not good as well. Food is not good: chicken pate looked like it was bought from some neighborhood... more

I had dinner at this restaurant over 10 years ago. It was a very pleasant and relaxing experience. I actually went out of my way to come here again and bring my family. The atmosphere is relaxing. The food is comforting and delicious. There is just something about this restaurant that makes it special. more

Went here based on the reviews of this site and word from a friend who heard from a friend. It has been around since 1919 and when you walk in it smells like it. Very stale. The service was a little lacking in my opinion and the decor was fitting for the place. I thought the food was the best... more

We brought a group of 18 early on Saturday evening, July 19, 2008. It was top prices for Princeton but the food of all types was excellent. Wait staff was serviceable to very good. The crab and avocado appetizer was outstanding and the scallop entree the best of its kind that I can recall. The pork loin and chicken dishes... more
