Good food , lively vibrant ambience, and good company makes for a great evening . The service was good except they missed the occasion we were celebrating and didn't care to bring out a candle with the dessert we ordered . As we were leaving I reconfirmed it with the person at the host's desk ( seemed to be the manager) , who apologized and said maybe our waiter missed it . But it was a noticeable miss that cannot be overlooked, as that was the purpose of our dinner here. End of the meal, our family's spirits fell flat, but we still sang and celebrated sans the petty candle. Now on to the food and drinks... Mocktails were delicious, colorful, and eye-catching . We tried all 3 on the menu and loved it. Appetizers galore filled our table ... Bang Bang cauliflower had a medley of sweet & sour flavors. Hummus pita board - Warm grilled pita was a table favorite with the small portion of hummus and fresh crisp veggies. Harvest salad - crisp lettuce, feta cheese, walnuts, poached and fresh sliced pear, cucumbers, and watermelon radish with rose vinaigrette made this extra special. Crispy calamari - great pairing with pickled veggies and arugula basil aioli. We ordered an assortment of entrees with all seafood choices . Salmon with risotto , Halibut & Branzino cooked to perfection served with flavorful sides. For dessert, it was the warm brownie with vanilla ice cream and peanut butter cup . The brownie was soft and not too sweet, slightly warm and it vanished in a few seconds. Peanut butter cup was a dense donut texture with candied peanuts We hoped that at least one of the desserts would be served with a candle as we were celebrating a birthday but they missed it and didn't care enough despite letting them know when marking the reservation. I loved everything about the experience at Agricola, but their lack of attention to detail stuck out like a sore thumb , as the poor communication between their front desk and wait staff dampens the guests' experience , making it a not-so-great finish . read more

Another fine meal at Agricola. The Calamari was light and flavorful without being overwhelmed by the breading. My Salmon was superb along with service that was right on time. In contrast to their far more expansive location in Morristown, the Princeton location is noticeably more "intimate" with Manhattan inspired table crowding. Not enough to detract from a wonderful meal but certainly worth noting. Five stars all day long. PS... no credit card surcharge. A surprise that certainly puts a smile on my face. read more

The vibe of this place is fantastic. Very romantic and rustic. The service was fabulous with fantastic recommendations and attentive staff. The cocktails were very unique and tasted great. We got the bang bang cauliflower, which loves up to its popularity, and the burrata which was simple and flavorful. For dessert we got the raspberry buttercake and it was superb. Love that the menu is seasonal so 100% will be back. Was glad we had reservations even though it was a weeknight. I could see parking being a challenge on a weekend or super busy Princeton event night or holiday. Excellent date night or celebration! read more

Absolutely loved my meal. The brunch burger was super filling and cooked perfectly. We ordered cinnamon rolls as a side to share - also scrumptious and uberly filling. Everything tasted fresh and yummy. However nothing to push it over the top to a 5, it was just what we expected. Service was excellent and ambiance is beautiful and grand - great for meeting with family, friends, or date anytime of day. read more

Overall a great experience. My partner took me to this restaurant while on our day trip to Princeton. We went on a Sunday around 130pm and there was a 45min wait, which didn't bother us. We just walked around some gift shops. The space is huge. It was tricky to find the entrance since they have two different signs up... one I think is antique with another restaurant name so maybe why they kept it up. Staff was very friendly and service was good. Waited a bit for water and check... but since my partner and I were busy chatting, the wait didn't seem bad. Food was incredible! I got the Roasted Butternut Squash Ravioli and a White Winter Cosmo and my partner got a steak with eggs. Both dishes were $30/ drink $15/ he had a pomegranate lemonade but I forgot how much they charged for it. We opted out of dessert since neither of us have a sweet tooth. The portions appear small, but I was stuffed when I finished my meal. For reference I always eat about 2/3rds of my dishes in other restaurants. The mix of flavors were so delicious I am definitely voting to go back there when we visit again. My partner noticed and commented "it's the little touches that make a restaurant upscale." One walls had interesting art on them. Another wall had what appeared to be framed architectural pictures of the restaurant. And waiters all had great quality aprons with creative pockets. It was really the little things that made this restaurant appear sophisticated. From a business card I picked up by the door I found out the company owns more restaurants around NJ and honestly I am curious to check them out! read more

Very good fine dining restaurant with a wonderful ambience and great food! Top dining experience for downtown Princeton! You can't go wrong here, really great food, terrific selection of wines and beer, great service, wonderful ambience! For business or pleasure. Margherita flatbread made a delicious appetizer! We also had the fried cauliflower which was not to be missed! One of the best appetizers I've had in a long time. The pumpkin ravioli main course was delicious. I wish the serving was a little larger. Sauce was creamy and delicious. I ordered the halibut with mixed vegetables. The halibut was a generous serving, but unfortunately, it was cooked a little on the dry side. I still liked it. The chicken Parmesan was interesting as it was on the bone. However, it was delicious and I would have it again! It's really beautiful inside and makes a great atmosphere for fine dining, including business or a large group. Of course, a date would be perfect here! Highly recommended if looking for a nice restaurant downtown Princeton, you can't go wrong read more

After trying to hit up a brunch spot with a 40 minute wait we decided to walk around and happened upon this restaurant. Looked at the menu outside and did a walk-in. We were seated at a tall bar stool table. Huge shoutout to our amazing waiter, Cullen W. He pretty much recited the entire menu to us, explained some of the standout dishes, recommended his favorite ones, gave us a brief history of their farm to table ingredients and which farms it came from. Also appreciated that he warned me that my choice of mocktail has a bitter taste. Great service always makes for an amazing dining experience. Here is what we ordered: - Tuna Tartare (get this) - The Golden Pancake (it is baked in the oven and to-die-for) - Grilled Chicken Pita Pillow (most incredible pita I have ever had) - Roasted Butternut Squash Ravioli (Vegan) - Roasted Local Mushrooms (my son being a mushroom lover, devoured this dish) The chef has an excellent hand on seasoning everything perfectly. Wonderful presentation and you can taste that the fresh ingredients were sourced with care. What surprised me were the reasonable prices and huge portions. I look forward to visiting this restaurant again in the near future. read more

Food was incredible. Farm to table really showed even on their burger with heirloom tomato.

What a gorgeous farm-to-table restaurant with a creative menu and unparalleled service. The bar area was inviting. Some of the tables have windows that open to the sidewalk. We enjoyed two amazing appetizers and our friends had delicious peach and berry cocktails. The stuffed squash blossoms with marscapone and a side of gazpacho was delicious. The eagle-eyed manager Jordan suggested adding a little honey to the homemade cinnamon roll with strawberry rhubarb compote, which was off the hook. Get the Tea Forte on ice! And add a touch of simple syrup to make it perfect. Shout out to bartenders Kylie and Martin for being the best part of a lazy Sunday stroll. I can't wait to come back for a whole meal. read more

The outside is so unassuming that you'd have no idea how much space there is on the inside. We had a reservation so seating was quick and easy. Our server was extremely pleasant and attentive. We were there for a few hours so I appreciated him! We ordered a lot of food as you can see lol it was a girlie catch up session. Everything we ordered was good, and I was pleasantly surprised by the mushroom pate! It needed more bread but the flavors were hittin! The salmon I wanted had yogurt in it, so they modified it to fit my dietary restrictions. I appreciated this! And the modification was so good! And the peanut butter cup dessert was so rich and delicious--definitely too rich for one person to finish in one sitting. So I'll be snacking on that for the next few days. I'll definitely be back here next time I'm in town! read more

Have been here for brunch, lunch and dinner. I would recommend the brunch the most. It wasn't super packed when I came and the chicken sandwich was filling and flavorful. My friend got the French toast and the sweet options also looked quite nice. But the dinner menu was not super impressive. The chicken parm dish is a deconstructed version of traditional parm but it didn't stand out to me. For the lunch menu, the kale salad was quite refreshing and filling and the bang bang cauliflower is amazing. The shrimp taco and the crispy chicken sandwich are pretty flavorful. If you want bangs for the bucks, go for the chicken pillow wrap, it's massive and the sweet potato chips are a nice touch. The iced tea carafe is always a nice experience and they have some refreshing cocktails too. The service is always friendly, fast and attentive. The interior is nice for group or business meals but while the dishes are made from fresh ingredients, the flavor profile and the selection are just not as special as other nearby restaurants. read more

My friends and I went to Agricola on Easter for a "linner". Even at the weird time we went, the restaurant was surprisingly full so we were glad we had a reservation. My friends ordered a chicken parm and I had the mushroom bolognese. We shared an order of truffle fries and they also got a lemonade and soda. Their chicken parm actually looked really good with several pieces of chicken, focaccia, and some grilled lettuce as well. My mushroom bolognese wasn't bad but I feel like the portion size wasn't very satisfying. Since it was Easter, we noticed that a nearby table found a golden easter egg hidden within some decor and they were able to redeem it to the manager for a chocolate bunny. It was definitely a cute touch that the restaurant had for the holidays. The restaurant is definitely on the pricier end, but we enjoyed the ambiance. I wouldn't be opposed to coming back and would probably order the chicken parm! read more

If I could give Agricola 6 stars, I would! This farm to table restaurant is a real gem, serving menu items with locally sourced ingredients. Everything from their apps, flatbreads, and entrees, to their desserts and cocktails are outstanding. The beautiful decor is sexy modern meets farm chic, with sprigs of wheat strategically placed on tables and displays, adding the perfect touch. I love the American farmhouse mural, and let's not forget the "thank a farmer" sign at the front with fresh local produce to grab as you leave (when I was there they had apples. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and the restaurant is located across from the historic Morristown Green. I can't wait to go back in the fall to see their autumn menu! read more

Being from the area, I've been here on numerous occasions & have unfortunately been consistently disappointed by the quality of food. Wait staff is pretty inattentive & slow; was trying to get their attention for a while. The dishes try to be fresh & fun combinations of flavors but time & again flop. For instance, the hummus was not at all that, the pickled vegetables were like drinking vinegar, & the only decent part was the bread. I think this is officially the last time I will go here. read more

Delicious farm to table goodness with a cozy east coast interior. Came here twice in one week while traveling for business, short rib, salmon and mushroom flatbread are excellent. Extensive mocktail menu that my colleagues enjoyed. The kale salad will make you feel super virtuous for how healthy it is. Only issue is a slightly sluggish service, but still worth every penny and would come three times in a week if I needed to! read more

This review is short and to the point: go during brunch and order the warm, buttered cinnamon rolls. There's something about warm pastries with that butter and frosting that instantly takes me back -- and makes me happily eat more than my fair share of carbs for the day. I know there are other items on the menu, but these cinnamon rolls are only served during brunch, and they're worth every bite. I eat, I judge. The fork stops with me. read more

We stopped in while visiting Princeton & hopping from restaurant to restaurant. Only had an app (cauliflower) and a few drinks. The ambiance looks like it would be super cute in the evening with all of the candles they have set up throughout the restaurant. We were there during the day, and the sun was shining brightly in (limiting seating for some). Anyway, service at the bar was attentive. We'd stop back next time we're visiting. read more

My friend and I came here for lunch today and had a wonderful experience at this charming farm-to-table restaurant in Princeton. The atmosphere was chic and spacious, with a comfortable and cozy feel at the same time. The service was amazing, with welcoming staff and our attentive server. Everything on the menu looked delicious but we decided to try 2 flatbreads: - Local Mushroom Flatbread ($19.95+) with spinach, Fulper Farms ricotta cheese, local egg, pecorino romano - Harvest Fall Fig Flatbread ($19.95+) with smoked country ham, fresh figs, gruyère, arugula and fig jam Both flatbreads were quite large and we could have just shared one, but it was nice to try different flavors. The ingredients were so fresh and the flavors complemented each other perfectly. The leftovers, we took home, which will be gone in no time! I can't wait to visit again and try more dishes. read more

Food is decent but brunch portions are very small for the price. Service was mixed, waiters were not coordinated- asked we wanted to order twice despite already ordering, also started clearing a plates while someone was still eating from it. Decor and ambiance were nice but it's impossible to hear anyone. Okay restaurant but I probably won't be coming back. Bad personal experience- was forced to sit at a high top with older relatives when I booked for the dining room, the manager even came over infront of everyone and told me I booked a high top despite me showing the manager the reservation on their app. read more

All good but you must expect Princeton prices. Expectations met along with the price.

Agricola Eatery is a farm to table restaurant offering a great menu of both beverages and food. We had no issues getting a table during the day on a Sunday. The dining area is quite large with plenty of tables and seating. The service was really great we were checked on quite a bit and if we needed anything they were quick to get what we needed. The food was delicious and had a lot of flavor with top quality ingredients. The short rib was tender and delicious and the old fashioned chicken soup had all kinds of flavors going on. A great place to get food with top notch dishes and ingredients. read more

Stopped here for lunch and ordered the Goffle Farms Turkey Burger with truffle fries. It was very although the burger itself kept slipping out of the bun because of the sauce on it so I ended up using a knife and fork. But it was still good and the truffle fries were just just normal fries with shredded truffle on top of it. My waitress stopped in to check on me and was very friendly. The place itself is very relaxing and perfect for dates, meetup and business meetings. read more

I was blown away by Agricola. It's been a while since I visited the Princeton, NJ area and I forgot how lovely it is there. A friend and I had a reservation for 12:00 PM. We were seated promptly on arrival, in a booth large enough to accommodate us and my friend's 9 month old son. The staff was friendly, offering to move chairs around and a high chair for him to sit at the table with us. The space is charming; it gives me modern farmhouse vibes. It did get a little loud in there at times, but I didn't mind. The spicy marg was tangy, not that spicy. We ordered the Bang Bang Cauliflower to share. Excellent flavor on the sweet and sour glaze. Sesame seeds were a nice touch, too. We also decided to get an artisan cheeseboard, the wild honeycomb and seed toast paired perfectly together! I was squeezing every last bit of honey onto my plate. My organic egg frittata didn't "wow" me but it was good. It was accompanied by arugula salad but would have been fantastic with a side of toast or something crunchier, in my opinion. Even with how busy they were, our waitress checked in on us often and kept filling up our water cups. I'd like to visit the Morrisville location sometime as it is closer to home. read more

I had a pleasant experience dining at Agricola for brunch today. The local mushroom flatbread was delicious; with a slight sharp taste from the cheese and nice balance of spice. The frittata is super fresh! I found that the chicken sandwich was crispy and balanced nicely with the pickled jalapeños and egg, but the chicken was a bit dry. However, the fries were perfectly crispy. The last thing I got to try was the French toast, and it was slightly crunchy and had a delicious compote. Our server was so lovely and I appreciate that this restaurant pays close attention to allergy-related concerns, even if it was not an issue at my table. While the rustic aesthetic of this restaurant is lovely, I did find that seating was a bit uncomfortable. The booth was high in comparison to the table and therefore not very spacious. Otherwise, I had a lovely visit at Agricola! read more

TLDR: decent farm to table establishment but flavor profiles weren't 100% there. Recommend the calamari, short rib and truffle fries. Came here on a Thursday night around 6 PM and it was very busy. I saw bread on nearly every table but never got any on mine so maybe just an oversight. Not going to hold it against them. The restaurant itself was very loud as there were varying groups eating dinner: professors, colleagues, students and families. Not sure if this would be a good environment for a first date since it could get pretty loud. Ordered the following: Corn chowder: had a bit sweetness from the corn which was overpowered by the other ingredients in it. Not sure what it was but didn't fully get to enjoy the corn Seafood chowder: although there was a generous portion of seafood, the taste just wasn't right. It had a Smokey/ Britney flavor that left an aftertaste in your mouth. It might be good for some but it wasn't for me. Calamari: MUST GET. Came on a bed of arugula and pickled vegetables with an amazing basil aioli. Calamari was perfectly breaded and was the perfect bite when mixed with the pickled veggies, arugula and aioli. Short rib: was very tender and flavorful. Corn ravioli: easily the worst dish of the night. Not sure if this is the normal way or just a bad serving but it was extremely mushy. Ravioli skin fell apart when touched, filling was tasteless and the roasted veggies seemed to be overcooked. read more

Sat at the bar for lunch. Great food and atmosphere. Tried the Brussels sprouts, poke, and flat bread. All were fantastic.

My daughter and I originally checked out this place because of an inside joke re my husband's Latin skills. So it was a wonderful surprise to realize we found a great place to have dinner! Agricola is a very cute restaurant! Warm and inviting with eclectic decor- you will find wood, exposed brick, clear vases repurposed as lights, tile walls- really, everywhere you look you will encounter something different! We were seated and quickly greeted by our server. He brought us ice water- truly welcomed on a very hot and muggy day! My daughter ended up ordering a refreshing summer cocktail called Strawberry Fields Forever while I had a Pinto Grigio. We decided to share a couple dishes and it was a good decision for us. Plenty of food. We had their tasty Local Mushroom Flatbread (this place is big on supporting local farmers) and the Focaccia Panzanella Salad. All was fresh and delicious! We are so happy we stopped by! read more

Came here for late lunch on a friday around 2-3 pm and it was super busy surprisingly. We got seated within 5 mins and started with the blood orange mule, spicy margarita, and a mango mocktail. The drinks here are always really good. For appetizer we got the pepperoni flatbread. This one is just okay compared to the fig and mushroom flatbreads and 3 of the slices i ate had no pepperoni on them. For mains we got the turkey burger and subbed with fries although the sweet potato chips were also pretty good. The turkey burger was very filling and tasted great! read more

Coming back here for the 4th time, I feel like I have a better feel for the seasonal menu now. I LOVE Agricola as a celebratory lunch or dinner restaurant. It's such a beautiful restaurant and the servers are always so polite. This time, we ordered the fungi flatbread(SO good), broccolini Caesar(don't get), shrimp tacos(very flavorful), pork and soba noodles stir fry(a little salty but good), summer salad with grilled chicken(tasty but not filling), and tuna tartare(highly recommend). I much prefer the winter menu solely for the hot honey brussel sprouts and the broccolini was a disappointing substitute. I love the seasonal menu idea and that it's a farm to table. I'll be back soon! read more

My husband and I were in the area and decided to have an early dinner here. We had a really great experience! The restaurant was spacious and cozy. Our server was very attentive and friendly. We shared the calamari and brussels sprouts. I had not given brussels sprouts a try until this meal. All the ingredients went very well together and they were very tasty! I had for short rib for my entree and really enjoyed it. The drink I had was well made. The spicy pineapple margarita was the perfect amount of spicy! I had asked our server about the level of spice prior to ordering it and she assured me that I would enjoy it, she was right! Overall, we had a really nice dinner and would return. read more

This place was hands down one of the best decisions my friends and I made for food. We came up to the area for an overnight trip and we wanted brunch before heading back to NYC. The food was SO delicious, between the 5 of us we ordered the burratta , the hummus plate, the grilled cheese and soup, the avocado toast and the cinnamon roll and we shared everything between the 5 of us. Our server was an absolute sweetheart , the service was quick and attentive and Tatinana was so incredible. She was nice , quick, gave amazing recommendations and overall made the entire time great. The ambiance was very quiet and personal, the inside is beautiful and intimate but not too fancy. read more

The space itself strikes a nice balance between rustic and modern, making it equally suitable for a date night, a business dinner, or a relaxed meal with friends. Service is attentive without hovering, and the staff generally knows the menu well, which makes ordering feel easy and confident. The menu is seasonal and well-curated, with dishes that sound simple on paper but are executed with care and creativity. Vegetables are clearly treated as stars, not afterthoughts, and the proteins are consistently well-sourced and flavorful. Standouts tend to change, but pastas, roasted vegetables, and thoughtfully composed entrées are reliably strong. Desserts are understated but satisfying--nothing flashy, just well done. Lastly, prices reflect the quality of ingredients. read more

Come here often, but have never written a review:) Ordered the scallops and fries, both amazing! The service at the bar was fast, pleasant, and the ambiance was good. Scallops were cooked to perfection and the herbs on the fries was a unique touch they don't do everywhere but made these fries stand out! The bartender convinced me to get the regular fries over truffle and he was so right! Will come back again, Agricola never disappoints! read more
