    Second time eating at this restaurant. Everything from service to food was amazing. We ordered a couple of different appetizers. They could have been a meal themselves. Believe me you won’t leave hungry.

    Laurea restaurant at the Princeton Hyatt is a favorite venue for social events or a business dinner meeting. It has a pleasant ambiance with comfortable, well-spaced seating areas, a great selection of food/drinks on the menu and a very attentive, accommodating service team. Our questions about certain entrees and food allergies were answered by the chef before we placed our orders. My chopped salad with salmon was fresh and tasty. I asked, and enjoyed mixed berries for dessert, even though it wasn't on the menu. I'll return for another dinner meeting soon!
