    After passing the restaurant many times, and seeing the neat outside area and mansion like setting I decided to give it a try. The inside has a few dining areas and a nice bar and bar area (which was packed). We were seated by a faux fireplace on the cold night so that was nice. The menu is pretty straight forward. The night we went they had all you can eat prime rib! Drinks were good. The lobster bisque was velvety and delicious. The shrimp cocktail could have had more or larger shrimp for the $18 price tag. The tuna was ok. The prime rib was very good and perfectly cooked. The piece was big (10 or 12oz). That along with a salad, baked potato and veg, I did not have a second portion. Service was good. Could have had water and drinks filled a few more times...but overall fine. May go back for the happy hours and the outside patio. 3.5 to 4 would be my rating.

    I was at Blooming grove for a holiday work party, with a large crowd so we had pre-ordered food being served buffet-style. The place itself is quaintly located in Ewing surrounded by mostly homes on either side, in a Victorian style building. Since it was a buffet, got to sample a few things, garlic bread, bacon wrapped scallops, grilled shrimp, meat balls penne pasta and cheese cake. Everything was well made and was flavorful, but the garlic bread was awful (soaked up and felt like eating oil), the cheesecake though was perfect, not too heavy, yet deliciously satisfying. Hope to come back sometime soon may be for a quick lunch this time around.

    Medium rare rib eye with broccoli rabe and asparagus. Good amount of char. Nice dish.

    I've been to Blooming Grove Inn quite a few times recently and I've become a really big fan. I love the ambiance which is warm and welcoming with just a touch of upscale and the food is routinely excellent as well. I've actually not had a bad meal here. My current favorites are the smoked pork belly appetizer and the chili, garlic and ginger marinated ahi tuna entree, both of which are absolutely delicious. They also do delicious steaks for a non-steakhouse establishment! Service here is outstanding and there's always plenty of parking in their massive parking lot. Another great thing about Blooming Grove Inn is that they frequently offer Groupons and Open Table reservation opportunities, so you can save a few bucks on your meal. In the end, this is a great spot for lunch and dinner. Four solid stars from me.

    This was my first time dining at the Blooming Grove Inn; it was my sister's birthday and Christmas Eve. We could not have picked a better place. First, the service was exceptional. Attentive without being obsequious. The staff took our orders without question and offered good suggestions when asked. I ordered a Side Car cocktail. I got one of the best I've ever had. This is not a complex cocktail but I think getting the proportions right is tricky. Our appetizers came quickly: duck potstickers, Brussels sprouts, and bacon-wrapped scallops. Excellent. Our entrees were also delicious. I ordered the spare ribs. The portion size was ample, but there was no way I was leaving a scrap of it behind. I can't wait to go back.

    What a cute, little quaint restaurant in Ewing, Nj. It appears that they are still only hosting outdoor seating, but we didn't mind! It was set up quite well- the tent had several fire pits that kept us warm on a 60 degree night. The service was immaculate- Cole was a really nice server. They also had a young lady clearing everyone's dishes and bringing bread. She was also very sweet! We ordered two appetizers (the Brussels sprouts and crab dip). Both excellent, fresh, and full of flavor. For dinner we ordered the scallops in blush cream sauce with lobster mashed potato's (yes. You're reading that correctly) and short ribs. Both amazing. We can't wait to return here. Only concern: some of the food came out cold. But we didn't complain- it was yummy enough!

You could taste the care in every sip. Terri and Ron took amazing care of us--so kind, welcoming, and genuine. The space has a woodsy charm to it--open, cozy, and perfect for a date night or even a chill celebration with loved ones. Definitely one of those places that makes you want to come back.

The service was somewhat slow, but the waitress was very nice. Their beer was in cans or bottles. I ordered a Head Hunter IPA and it had a date code from the summer, so their stock was a bit old. I split a bowl of crab bisque $15 with my son. It was ok on spices/flavor and had small strips of crab, but the body was on the thinner side and I didn't think it was creamy enough. A miss, plus the guy who brought it out must have had the soup shift on the walk over so he had his thumb on top of the spillage that went onto the rim. I should have sent it back, but we were hungry. The small cornbread muffins that we had before our meals came out were tasty. After discussing the lunch menu with the waitress she said the Yardley Burger was very popular. $19 - roasted tomato, boursin cheese, hand cut fries. My son ordered the chicken cutlet - $18 fresh mozzarella, vodka aioli and chips. He skipped the sauteed spinach that was supposed to come on it. They took awhile to come out. The burger had a ridiculous amount of boursin on it (plenty of herbs and garlic coming off it), the meat was bland and the hand cut fries were a tad soggy. Even the bun was weak, so for $19 they can keep it. My sons sandwich was much better. The vodka aioli flavor was a home run with the thick cutlets. Still not worth $18, but much better than the burger. I had a Yards Washington Porter with my burger that slightly helped my disappointment. This place only gets the 4th star because I love history and the building has it. It was just OK other than that. Maybe a dinner/date night is in order to see what these higher yelp reviews are all about. Their entree prices seem much more in line. For lunch, I'm a no.

My daughter was at their Super Bowl party last night and it was something to remember. Crab boil on paper. New Orleans style. Lots of irresistible food and a big screen TV. Who knew that one of the best Super Bowl parties would be at Sal's ?! Well, now you know and that's not just the Super Bowl party.....any night or day you can depend on an amazing menu. I have always been known for making Greco's Clams Casino ....very specific about how they did it and I do it exactly that way and people go absolutely mad. 90% of restaurants that offer claims Casino don't know what Clams Casino is. And my daughter told me that their Clams Casino is as good as mine Whaaaat?! ...they make old time roasted dirty chicken, and if you're reading this and you know what that is, (you serve it with some bread which becomes dirty bread) and just mop it all up..... The family will be there to delight you with memories of delicious dining in the 'Burg'..... Sal's is in the Marrazzo's Market shopping center tucked in off to the side right next to the popcorn people and across from Rita's They have a lovely wine bar and you can bring your own anything .... And who knew you could go there and hang out .....have a glass of wine and a little appetizer and watch your favorite game on the TV..?!!! and speaking of sports TV while I'm dining I really am a girly girl when it comes to that but I know the rest of the world loves it ...What I liked is that I didn't have to dine with the TV right in my face like a lot of other places .....it was there and people can watch it, but you can just forget it's there .. it's not obvious at all .... Which makes the dining experience perfect for everyone...and that's the way it should be done.... The prices are a little higher than some Italian restaurants, BUT, that's because all the ingredients are absolutely as fresh as you can get them and by the way, fresh ingredients make all the difference in flavor and presentation. There is actually someone in the kitchen who is preparing your meal uniquely and perfectly just for you No corporate predictability here. Not like most Italian restaurants where you actually don't need the menu cause you know what they're gonna serve. I am really fussy about my corporate run restaurants some of them are obviously OK but some of them are just so boring. It's ridiculous. Here's what you really have to do ....go over there and have a great meal and then go back and then go back ..... It has definitely become one of Ewing's amazing collection of a "little hole in the wall" type restaurant. The dining area is L shaped and off to the back is a lovely fireplace, very romantic, and the whole dining area is open and designed beautifully ....so when you step inside the door, you will definitely know that this is a place you can take your mom or you can take your date or you can just go and watch a football game and eat some good wings We certainly love those tucked-away places the best !!!..... and if you're not familiar with that way of picking your dining experience, visit this family style Italian restaurant and you'll know what I'm talking about..!
