Restaurant Review
Eno Terra, a new Italian influenced restaurant in the historic village of Kingston in South Brunswick, is owned by the Terra Momo restaurant group, and is one of a new breed of casual upscale restaurants committed to using fresh locally grown and organic foods in the preparation of flavorful, healthy, and attractive presentations. This fine dining restaurant evolved from a 19th century building and $3million worth of restoration complying with environmentally conscious practices, to become a casual, elegant venue. The interior is marked with exposed brick walls and beams, square overhead lights, wood floors, wine red walls, and a large open dining room with a soothing waterfall, and windows that look out on a patio garden and rock wall. There is a another dining area upstairs along with a room for private parties. The spacious bar is attractively set around the original brickwork and timbers. The bar area offers seating with small tables for two on stools along the L-shaped wooden bar. The bar also has view of a floor to ceiling glass enclosed wine case that actually goes all the way down to the the basement. The only downside to the main dining area is that it tends to get noisy when the restaurant fills up. Eno Terra is one of only a few restaurants in New Jersey to be certified by the Green Restaurant Association, which considers environmental practices as well as food sources. The kitchen receives it's direction from executive chef Chris Albrecht, a CIA graduate who honed his skills under famed chef Tom Colicchio. The restaurant features the use of locally grown and/or organic produce and poultry, and grass-fed meat from a 50-mile radius. Most of the local produce comes from Terhune Orchards with the cheeses from local creameries Cherry Grove and Valley Shepherd Creamery. Many of the items on the menu are cooked on their wood fired grill. The simple, loosely constructed menu enables diners to arrange their meals to suit their tastes. The menu frequently changes and when available, some of the popular items are: The Simply Grazin’ Grass-fed Beef Carpaccio and Grilled Quail antipasti's; the Hand Cut Tagliatelle pasta; and Sampling of Eno Terra Sausages with fresh garlic, smoked chicken and spiced lamb,cooked on the wood fired grill.. Save room for desserts. Most of the selections include local fruits and ingredients. Ice cream comes from Princeton's The Bent Spoon, and many of the fruits coming from Terhune Orchards. Wine is an important component of the fine dining experience the Eno Terra with a wine cellar that has over 7,000 bottles and over 350 selections with a wide price range to choose from. The wait staff is well trained, knowledgeable, and anticipatory.
