Dear Philadelphians (or anyone else between the Washington DC and Philadelphia), THIS is the best restaurant between you and the Holland Tunnel. last night we visited SCOTT and his team on a quiet tuesday night for what was a spectacular meal. Don't take my word for it, run don't walk to Princeton and eat some of the most flawless delicious food I have had in a long time. The highlight of the meal was the riceless risotto of mushrooms which was brought to my attention by our favorite eater and hilarious internet trouble maker Mr Plotnicki . That is a joke Steve, you rock and I love reading your detailed verbal sparring matches. Anyway the dinner was special.

It would seem that another Philly area road trip is in order. Elements has been on my wish list since Alex & Aki did some dinners there, including the Kindai dinner.
