I was treated to lunch at this French delightfull eatery. Truly a treat in every way. The service was great; the staff are fantastic. The food was excellent. Atmosphere was very comfortable. My onion soup was delicious with a new different taste for me. My host had the mushroom tart which she enjoyed very much. The sausage entry was very nice with a great mild tasty flavor cooked to perfection. My chicken dish had a wonderful sauce and also cooked perfectly. The fries were done as ordered and so tasty. Our deserts were a perfect ending to a wonderful dinning experience. The fact that it was a special price was a BONUS. If you are in the area I highly recommend making a reservation to dine at Kristine's.

We had a great meal here! As a French person myself, I can confidently say that the food was very good, a mix of bistrot and traditional sunday’s cuisine. The starters were good, and the main dish, coq au vin, was delicious. You can tell the meat was of high quality. We also really enjoyed the Restaurant Week experience, it’s a great initiative, so thank you! We also noticed the chef personally serving during busy times, which was really nice to see. And our waitress was amazing, she pronounced all the French dish names so well, and she was super kind, always coming by to check on us, almost a bit too often, but in a good way!

Busy location..We arrived early and the bar was full, so we walked around while waiting for our reservation. The server gave great recommendations and paid great attention to detail of requests. That said I didn't think the service was overly attentive. When our wine glasses were empty, they simply cleared our glasses-instead of offering another round. The lobster bisque was the highlight of the meal. The escargot was good. Dinner came warm. We had steak fries-yummy, idiot lamb- good flavor not the most tender, duck-fall off the bone, a little salty~each came with a frisee salad and fresh made French fries, we also had a leg of lamb. Overall, it was good, nothing truly special. For dessert we ordered, chocolate souffle-really good (worth ordering ahead), creme brulee-good (no fruit, no top

Dined at Kristine’s during Princeton Restaurant Week and overall had a good experience. The restaurant is fairly small and the tables are a bit close together, but it still had a nice, cozy atmosphere. Food breakdown: Vegetable terrine: 2/5 Nice texture but it lacked flavor. I would recommend skipping this one. Steak tartare: 5/5 Very solid tartare with great flavor and texture. Coq au vin: 3.5/5 The chicken had a nice red wine flavor, although it was a little on the dry side. Duck confit: 4.5/5 Good portion size. The duck was tender and flavorful, but the fries were a bit soggy and could have been crispier. Brittany butter cake: 2/5 The cake itself was dense and somewhat dry. The butterscotch sauce was the highlight. Chocolate mousse: 5/5 Delicious. Creamy, smooth, and well balance

A successful girls night out! Cozy vibes for tonight’s false spring in Princeton. We came for the $45 for 3-course menu, which delighted with generous portions. My friend, a blonde, had the French Blonde, and 10/10 would recommend. Mushroom Tart, Mussels Frites, and Tarte Tatin were 👩🏻‍🍳😘👌🏻
