    Mercato Ristorante is located several minutes from Princeton along the main business stretch of Kingston on Route 27. While Kingston itself is a sleepy town, it's home to several restaurants worth visiting for a decent meal. It's a cozy spot with a decent amount of indoor and outdoor seating. It's got a sandwich menu for fast casual dining, a sit down area for a more traditional sit down meals with service, and it's also part Italian market. Since I stopped in for a quick lunch, I opted to go with the chicken parmigiana sandwich from their sandwich menu, with sauce on the side. It was probably one of the better chicken parmigiana sandwiches I've had in a while, with decent breaded chicken cutlet, and quality ingredients with the roll, tomato sauce, and cheese working in harmony with the chicken to make for a solid and filling meal. While prices for their regular menu seem a bit on the higher side for an area Italian eatery, I wouldn't mind returning to try out some of their other offerings based on the quality sandwich experience.

    Food was as close to the farm as you can imagine, delicious, inventive, and friendly.

"This looks like a place I would come as a drunk college kid," my husband mused when we first stepped inside. True to his observations, the menu is rife with the kinds of deep fried goodies and artery-clogging sandwiches that are best meant for youthful bodies with optimal metabolism. We ordered a fun variety for ourselves - a meatball parm, a pound of buffalo wings, an order of curly fries, and - to balance things out - the harvest salad. For those ordering sandwiches, know that they're enormous. A half order is an 11" deal, while the whole is a Brobdingnagian 22". Our half sandwich was great, and definitely more than enough for us to share. We had few notes on anything we ordered. The curly fries were hot and crispy, the buffalo wings hot and tangy, and the meatball parm was just as expected. I was particularly surprised by the salad, which was just supposed to be a fresh and green counterpart to all the heavier foods. I would have been happy enough with some greens and a vinaigrette, but we had a pretty robust salad with blue cheese, chicken, and pieces of diced apple. I never would've expected to find a good salad at a place like this one, but there you go. There are a few high tables and stools, but little else by way of ambiance. Clearly, the focus here is to eat and clear out. That said, service at the counter was incredibly warm and friendly. As far as parking goes, there are a few spots out front and even a few more behind the building. I struggled with the number of stars here, because this isn't highbrow or fine dining. If that's what you're after, I'd definitely look elsewhere. But it's predictable, freshly prepared, and therefore perfect for a college town. If that's what you're expecting, this is your four-star spot.

    Very unhappy customer! I ordered about 17 bagels for my team at work, 5 different spreads and what…read moreI thought was a fruit tray, totaling about $70. I made the order yesterday to be curbside picked up by 6:30 a.m today before I went to work. When I got to Bagel Street Grill at 6:30 a.m, I sat in my car for 10 minutes and no one came out to bring me my pick up order, so I went inside to get it. When I got inside, my order was not ready!! How on earth is my order not ready when I placed my order an entire 24 hours prior? Once all of my bagels were ready, a male employee comes to me and tells me that they do not have a seafood salad spread, despite it being listed online, so the employee gave me the option to pick a different spread. I picked tuna, which technically was cheaper than the seafood salad spread, so I should have received a refund in the difference, but I did not. Secondly, the employee had no idea what the "cut and tray" was. Online, the 'cut and tray" is listed as an assorted fruit platter. The employee then tells me that I owe them $10 additional dollars because the "cut and tray" is for the bagels to be cut and packaged. This was an absolute lie, because I had already paid extra when I ordered my bagels to have them each cut and toasted. They were trying to make me pay $10 to put bagels in a container? Absolutely not! After I advised the employee that I have already paid to have my bagels cut and toasted and that online it says the "cut and tray" is assorted fruit, the employee proceeds to tell me that I now owe an additional $50 for fruit. Mind you, the fruit was not ready or with my order at the time. How do I suddenly owe an additional $50, when the employee did not even know what the "cut and tray" was until he called his boss? When I declined to pay an additional $50 and that it was okay, I didn't need the fruit and that I needed to go because I had to get to work, the employee starts to reprimand me stating that the confusion was my fault because technically my order is considered a catered order and online says that you have to call the store for catered orders. WHAT?!?!?! I bought bagels for my team, not a party and to tell the customer that they are at fault because the employee is not properly trained on what their products are is ridiculous! How about Bagel Street Grill update their website! If you don't carry a seafood spread, remove it. If ordering 17 bagels is considered catering, then the establishment needs to put on their website the amount of bagels they consider a catered order. Lastly, Bagel Street Grill needs to provide better training to their managers and employees, because the staff is disrespectful. I was over 25 minutes late to work because the employees at Bagel Street Grill did not have my order ready, did not deliver my order to my vehicle, were unknowledgeable on their own products, and rude! I have grown up in Plainsboro and have gone to that bagel shop a plethora of times over the years and today was the first time that I was disappointed in service and won't be returning! I will also ensure I provide my feedback and experience at Bagel Street Grill to family, friends, and social media to warn others about the customer service at this place!
