Hannah and Masons is a BYOB restaurant located in a charming old house on Main st. in Cranbury and fills the void of fine dining restaurants between New Brunswick and Princeton. The decor is rustically romantic, and is cozily situated in three cozy dining areas with polished wood floors, soft toned walls, dim lighting, and white liinen.

Executive Chef Chris Posner, a 1996 Culinary Institute of America graduate serves up, creative dishes with fresh ingredients. Hannah & Mason’s is open for lunch Monday – Friday, 11:00 AM – 2:30 PM, and for dinner Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings with a menu that changes frequently.

H&M’s used to charge high-end fine-dining prices, but the service and food really didn’t warrant it. When our main courses came, there was a “plate auction” (Who ordered the pork?), silverware wasn’t replaced, etc.

On Saturday, they threw a “Farmer’s Market” on Main St. to relaunch the newly-redecorated restaurant with a new, simplified menu with a “Farm-Fresh” concept. The new menu’s most expensive item is the same price as the cheapest main dish on the old menu.
