Great food affordable priced and great wine selection.
We had such a great experience at The Metuchen Inn. The service was top notch and the food was delicious. We will definitely be back!
Excellent service, excellent food. I had the pork tenderloin...outstanding!
Truly a great dinner !!! went on a Saturday evening..Restaurant certainly had its 35%,however, tables were well spaced and all Covid protocols were followed. Service, ambiance and food was spot on..Winter menu was well constructed.. Highly recommend !
This is a great local Metuchen spot. The menu is diverse, the food is always good, great people there.
Had a great Valentine’s Day menu. Seating was great. Plenty of distance between parties. Staff wipes down handrails before and after use.
Mushroom ravioli are tops. Everything was at an appropriate level of quality and the cocktails were on point.
Great place, kind staff! Larger parking lot would be appreciated.
Valentines Day dinner was excellent, 5 course pre-fix menu was extensive. Had the lamb chops and filet mignon, was amazing. Enjoyed it tremendously, will definitely be back.
We went for Valentine’s Day. It was a fixed price menu and was excellent.
Service was excellent. Bill, our waiter was pleasant and informative. The wine list is solid. The building is classy and conveniently located with ample parking.
Everything was great, from the amazing menu to the staff. A great place for a date. Even the owner came over to introduce himself. My waiter was great and attentive. Will be coming to this restaurant frequently after my 1st experience there.
Outstanding fare and service as expected. No need to go to that hole known as NYC for excellent cuisine.
Fine dining at its best from the warm and gracious service to the artful presentation of dishes where each component shined and tantalized the palate to the attractive main dining room that serves an an excellent setting for a lovely evening!
Consistently good food, service and ambient.
We enjoy the place and the diversified menu.
This is our second time dining here and it never fails to impress. From the service to the food, everything has been outstanding. We are definitely on our way to becoming regulars!
Great place for a formal dinner. expect to pay for the good food and service.
Our first time dining at Metuchen Inn was very enjoyable given the delicious food, relaxing atmosphere, and great service. My husband was pleasantly surprised with a special birthday greeting by the staff and on his dessert plate. Thank you, Metuchen Inn! We will surely return in the future.
After dining here several times and also getting our Christmas dinner to go, this experience lacked in their fall menu entrees not being available but listed on their menu. The scallops and their ravioli were not available that Sunday evening dinner for a birthday celebration. My friend wound up ordering their potato encrusted striped bass which was a disappointment. It was more of the potato stuffing, could not find or taste the fish at all but the crunchy skin part of the fish. It was returned and replaced with salmon which was tasty. The warm apple strudel dessert was delicious. I will be going back but would call first to check to see what’s not on the menu.
After more than 10 years of dining here, another excellent meal for my wife's 70th birthday with the family. You will not be dissapointed.
Great food great service we luv this place
We just had our second visit within 2 weeks to the Metuchen Inn. We loved it so much we had to come back. Had a wonderful meal with even more wonderful wine. Also had a lovely discussion of wines with the owner Constantine. Beautiful space. The service is good, not great. The servers could use a bit more polish. Overall a wonderful place though.
We celebrated a birthday on this evening...wouldn’t dream of a special occasion any place else. With the fireplace, the atmosphere is warm and inviting. Everyone is service oriented. Jose, the maitre d’ makes each patron feel like a valued guest. While there are many restaurants with good food, no place treats patrons like the royalty they are made to feel here. This evening we started with the steamy clams in white wine...excellent and the small clams that we love. Entrees were the halibut and a special of almond crusted salmon. Both fish were super fresh and prepared perfectly. We had to indulge in dessert...chocolate bread pudding must delectable....warm with some vanilla ice cream. I wonderful ending to an excellent dinner.
Always a good experience. Very consistent and the service is excellent.
The food and service were excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal.
Lovely room with delicious food. Incredible wine list.
My only comment is that we asked that our dishes be staggered and not come all at once. Three of four came at the same time. I had to ask them to slow it down.
A-Special unexpected NYE DATE 12/31/20
Wanted to try the Inn . I had heard it was a lovely restaurant to experience. And my date and I are considered discerning foodies).
First . We were seated at a table directly next to the entrance door .. ( appeared to be placed last minute)!
Which placed us in the barren bar Area. And continual cold drafts from the entrance door !
We were disappointed that there was a special 4 course limited menu ,which was not noted in their website , nor here on open table .
One of us is a vegetarian. So that is always a concern when making a decision where to dine.
So we were forced at that point to chose a costly meal , with a limited choice .
When we both chose to just cheat on this special nite , the meal we both were hoping to dine on , was no longer available, to either of us.
With a limited menu as it was. We had to settle on choices we were not particularly interested in having !
There should been no excuse ,for shortage of one of the few fish options , We wanted to enjoy.
The presentation of the food , table clearance and attention to our needs throughout the meal were subpar .
No sincere efforts made for our inconveniences and disappointments , for the rushed , and inattentive service.
And absolutely No NYE DECOR EFFORTS , nor any offer of a small parting token, to present Appreciation of support. No attempt to leave us with a grateful feeling for a desired interest to want to return again in the New Year!
Instead our dessert was rushed , our dinner check was presented to be paid as it was served, due to COVID early 10 pm departure rules.
They should have not taken any seatings after 7 pm, not 8 as we were given, seated in an uncomfortable location & misrepresent the dinner menu on there sites.
It was the least festive , cheerless , misleading Holiday dining experience, we both had ever experienced.
Thankful for the good food and wonderful joy of each other’s company... that made the Happy New Year!!
Wonderful Christmas Celebration and wife's birthday celebration. Food was excellent. Drinks are very good and fairly priced. Server was good but not as good as other servers we've had in the past. Overall a great experience, highly recommend.
Christmas dinner was very special.... surrounded by the warm ambience and the welcoming like were are important family members. Jose, the maitre d, sets the tone for each guest to feel special. We were thrilled to see George, our favorite server. The first Christmas dinner in 46 years that I haven’t cooked and hosted.... no other restaurant would have been as excellent spot as here.
Very festive, enchanting evening with great friends, good company. Amazing fare, impeccable drinks. Great staff, humorous atmosphere, tremendously comfortable.
Food was fabulous. We shared mushroom ravioli and crab cake for appetizer. The short rib was great as was the halibut. The atmosphere was so nice with the fireplace and it made for a terrific place to celebrate Christmas Eve. The desserts were scrumptious as well. We shared the mango sorbet and the creme brulee was excellent. * Five stars for sure
The food was delicious , as was the presentation. Decorated elegantly for the holidays but keeping safe distancing in mind for all.
Great meal as usual. Scallops were excellent. Service always the best.
