Tonight was an Italian night, with a meatball starter and Vodka rigatoni as the entree. Since I wanted room for dessert, I left some food on each plate but still managed to almost stuff myself with wonderful textures and flavors. And I did have room for dessert, my favorite, doughnut holes with caramel, ice cream, whipped cream and berries. As always, a welcome night.

My husband and I love this restaurant. We never get a meal we don't like. I tried the steak and asked for it well done. Many restaurants are too cautious, and I wind up sending it back. But Metro North listened, and I really enjoyed it! The bread is better, too. They are using another supplier. We went through 2 baskets! The cocktails are wonderful. And everything is reasonably priced. The service is always fantastic. I see many of the same staff working there year after year. I think that really says something positive about the way they run their business. Everyone is always smiling, friendly, and knowledgeable. You CANNOT go wrong dining here!

The overall experience at Metro North is always wonderful. As with all restaurants you need to find your preferred dishes and Metro is no different. They have a wide variety to choose from but they also have the service, the mixology and ambience to make it a dining experience. We had Monica as our waitress this time and Joanne previously, both know their profession and on top of that are very personable.

Second time eating at this restaurant. Everything from service to food was amazing. We ordered a couple of different appetizers. They could have been a meal themselves. Believe me you won’t leave hungry.

We love to visit Metro North when we are visiting our Football playing son at Princeton. The food is delicious, the service is special and we are always smiling when we leave. The pasta is fresh, the drinks are expertly crafted and this is a treat.
