" Kristine's is one of my favorite restaurants in the area! Their French food is authentic and delicious. I love the variety of wines they offer too. The ambiance is fancy yet comfortable. I opted for the beef bourguignon and it was divine! The only downside was the wait time; I thought it felt a bit long for a week night. Still, I’ll undoubtedly be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Kristine's was wonderful. We ordered the three-course meal, which was reasonably priced. The foie gras and the steak were the highlights of the meal; both were cooked to perfection. I enjoyed taking my time savoring each dish in the beautiful Parisian-inspired setting. The staff were polite and attentive. Looking forward to returning during the holiday season! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can confidently say Kristine's has some of the best French food around. I highly recommend their steak frites—the seasoning was just right. The atmosphere felt welcoming, making it an ideal place for a date. However, the waitstaff could be more attentive; we found ourselves waiting quite a while for drink refills. Otherwise, a fantastic experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic French food, Kristine's is where you want to be! I enjoyed an incredible meal featuring their French onion soup followed by the steak frites—a classic! The atmosphere felt sleek and upscale, but with the warmth of a bistro. Each bite of food was bursting with flavor. While I did experience a small hiccup with my drink order, the overall experience was fantastic. Highly recommend for a romantic dinner! " (*Curated Review*)

" Kristine's has quickly become my go-to spot for French cuisine in Princeton. From the moment you walk in, the decor and soft music transport you to a little corner of France. Their beef tartare is a must-try—perfectly seasoned and accompanied by fresh bread. The staff is friendly, but be prepared for a wait during peak hours. I appreciate that they're dedicated to authentic flavors, and I can’t wait to explore more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" A charming place to enjoy a lovely French meal! The ambiance is cozy, fitting for a date night. I had the croque monsieur and it did not disappoint. Each bite melted in my mouth! However, my partner found the escargot a bit too garlicky for his taste. Service was quite fast, and the staff was attentive. We look forward to our next visit to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Kristine's is a gem for anyone seeking authentic French cuisine. The escargots were superb, and the onion soup was hearty and flavorful. I appreciate the attention to authenticity in every dish. The atmosphere is pretty much spot on for a bistro, with soft lighting and cozy seating. Only downside was the slow service. Overall, it’s a great spot to indulge in classic French fare!
