State Officials Close Ferry House Restaurant

The Ferry House Restaurant on Witherspoon Street has been closed by the state for failure to pay taxes, according to Princeton Packet. 

The restaurant is owned by Robert Trigg, Jr., who first opened the restaurant in Lambertville before relocating it to Princeton in 1998. Trigg told the Packet he had no warning before the state closed the restaurant on Thursday, Oct. 11. 

A State Treasury Department spokesman said the state received a judgment against Trigg and the restaurant last year, but the case was dismissed after Ferry House filed a petition in bankruptcy court, the Packet reports. 

Trigg graduated from the Philadelphia Restaurant School and worked as the sous chef at LePlumet Royale at the Peacock Inn in Princeton, according to the restaurant's website.
