Mon Aug 31 10:04:45 -0700 2009 22826 Karen K 1 4994017 Karen, the Lawrenceville Inn has had its ups and downs during the last few years. There have been several owners (and several chefs) so any information from before February of this year should be ignored. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/452335 Quite by chance, the New York Times reviewed the Inn just last weekend. Here's what they had to say: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/30/nyregion/30dinenj.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=lawrenceville%20inn&st=cse Mon Aug 31 15:32:14 -0700 2009 4992810 57768 ambrose 2 4994089 I read the New York Times review and was looking for a few other opinions. Thanks ambrose. Mon Aug 31 15:57:48 -0700 2009 4994017 22826 Karen K 3 4994540 Hope you get some comments from people who have been to the "new, new Lawrenceville Inn". :-)) Mon Aug 31 18:57:48 -0700 2009 4994089 57768 ambrose 1 5019180 It just never ends for this once great restaurant. It would be interesting to know the back story but the bottom line is that the Lawrenceville Inn is no more (at least for now!). http://www.lawrencevilleinn.com/ Thu Sep 10 08:52:21 -0700 2009 4992810 57768 ambrose 2 5019452 Unbelievable. Part of the saga is in this news report: http://blog.nj.com/artful_diner/2009/09/lost_lease_at_lawrenceville_in.html Thu Sep 10 10:05:50 -0700 2009 5019180 102643 MercerChow 1 5090662 I really hope someone out there is taking notes so that the soap opera that is the Lawrenceville Inn can be written! Now Dennis Foy and his wife are going to give it a shot. I hope the place lasts long enough that I can go. A positive sign is that the chef comes from Restaurant Nicholas. http://blog.nj.com/artful_diner/2009/10/dennis_foys_lawrenceville_inn.html Fri Oct 09 07:03:10 -0700 2009 4992810 57768 ambrose 2 5091442 A real soap opera, for sure. Can't wait to hear from anyone who gets there. Fri Oct 09 11:25:21 -0700 2009 5090662 22826 Karen K 2 5114506 I don't think Executive Sous Chef is Michael Metzner, who comes from Restaurant Nicholas is "the chef"; I think "the chef" is Dennis Foy! Don't know the truth of the following statement because I wasn't there, but I've been told by a reliable friend of mine that the downstairs dining rooms were sold out this past weekend when it opened. I hope they make a go of it. We loved their place in Pt. Pleasant. Mon Oct 19 10:23:25 -0700 2009 5090662 92091 bucksguy14 2 5155250 Personally, I though the last two chefs were amazing! Gaetano and Micah were not only talented but created an atmosphere that was welcoming and homey! Their menu was different and delicious. Where ever you are...best of luck!
