"Food is good, but it not worth the price. Ala carte, and paying $3.99 for a mediocre salad is not worth it. NYC prices in Freehold."

"Family celebration with my sister and parents (3 couples). Great menu, just hasn't changed much in a while. We did order a couple of specials (apps and dinners), and they were all very good. Nothing was really excellent, which was a little disappointing at the end. The waiter was patient, friendly and continued to update us on progress, but also continued to let us know he didn't forget about something, which wasn't as much thoughtful as annoying after the 2nd reminder. Just bring the darn drink/plate/whatever. My family has a couple of picky eaters, but in fairness, they know what they like and don't like and make that clear up front. Nice to be understanding, not so nice to forget to make the change. Still a very good meal though."

"We prefer dining outside (weather permitting). Interior lends itself to more of a bar-like atmosphere (although it is upscale). There is an upstairs area perfect for large groups, parties, etc. Food is excellent, as is service. Visit in spring and summer months. Dine outside; very enjoyable."

"From start to finish, our Friday evening at metro was fun and delicious. We even had our two children with us (3 and 6). The Staff was accommodating and friendly. Always a good time with or without our children."
