I didn’t know anything about the restaurant. I was tired and hungry, driving from Lawrenceville to Princeton. I saw a few cars pull in the lot, so I pulled over and quickly checked out the menu. Intrigued, I walked in. On the wall they had a NY Times review. The homemade gnocchi was delicious as well as the beef duo. The staff was super friendly. I would have ordered dessert, but I was stuffed! Stopping there was the best decision I made that day. I will definitely go back. I highly recommend eating here.

Blue Bottle is the go to BYOB in the princeton area for fine wine lovers. The food is consistently very good and the servers know how to serve fine wine. My recent experience was exceptional for just how committed the owners and staff are to outstanding customer service. The attentiveness and caring in the service breeds a warmth and generosity among the diners and we had the pleasure of sharing tastes of some great wines with a neighboring table. The meal also deserves praise as the ingredient’s are super fresh and the preparations of non-traditional meats (game)are always outstanding. And of course the gnocchi is my favorite.

Best local restaurant in the neighborhood. Love the hospitality and food. It was a BYOB place with the best food in town. From appetizer to main to dessert, everything was wonderful.

From the beginning to the end, we had an amazing experience at the Blue Bottle. We went as a large party (14 people) and had a lot of questions but our waiter David and the owner Rory handled us seamlessly with kindness and patience. They were super friendly and funny. The food was also amazing. You could tell it was all fresh and made with exceptional ingredients. Would definitely recommend this place!

The food was phenomenal. The menu is small. It is bring your own bottle. Everything is super fresh, so be prepared, it takes awhile for the food to come out. Make a reservation!

The Blue Bottle Cafe was wonderful! The kind and caring staff and the food were simply amazing. I had the Beef Duo as my entrée on Mother’s Day. It was literally one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. 5 stars all around!

This place was so good. We dined outside and the service was relaxed and personable. The setting is actually a quiet, residential neighborhood. The food was phenomenal from appetizer to dessert. Its byob and they provide the stemware and ice. The only drawback was that the seating at our table had wooden benches without cushions, so… at any rate, we’ll be back.

Delicious food! Best salad I’ve ever had. The salmon was pretty delicious. I was lucky enough to go with 4 other people and tasted different desserts and each one was delicious. The service was also great! What more can I say. It is BYOB!
