Dinner in Princeton

[coughy]

Meeting friends for dinner in Princeton. It is a halfway meeting point for us so we don't know the area. Looking for moderately priced American or Italian. Any suggestions?

Princeton is kind of a weird food town. It should be really good, but it's not, and places tend to be inconsistent in the moderate price range. The new place, Agricola, is getting good reviews...farm to table, small plates. Mediterra is another option. Both are within walking distance of the best place in Princeton for gelato, The Bent Spoon, which is a "don't miss". Blue Point Grill has outstanding simply prepared seafood, but it is impossible to get in without a res.
