Merlins is a popular spot in Princeton, known for its delicious food and friendly service. While some reviewers mentioned slow service and issues with seating, others raved about the new dinner menu, especially the Truffle fries. The breakfast options were also highly praised, with big portions and a great atmosphere. Overall, Merlins seems to be a favorite for many, despite some minor hiccups in service. It's a place worth checking out for a tasty meal in a welcoming environment.
