    The food, as always, was fabulous! The service was a little slow, but since we were in no hurry, it was leisurely.

    This is our go to spot for every special occasion. Last night was for 51st wedding anniversary. Not only is the food great, but the entire staff makes sure that you feel and are treated like the most important guest. It is a rare and much appreciated trait. We started with the steamed clams…so fresh and garlicky. Sopped up every bit of the delicious sauce with the bread! Entrees were the halibut and a special of a fish called orate, much like branzino. Both plates included the celery root purée, which is amazing and never seen on an other menu. We shared the figgy bread pudding for dessert and it was wonderful. We washed it all down with one of our favorite white wines. A perfect celebration!!!!!

    We always love The Metuchen Inn. It was our wedding anniversary and were treated with a complimentary champagne toast. The food and service are always impeccable. Our server, Gloria, took very good care of us. We would recommend this establishment to everyone.

    What a lovely Saturday evening dining experience! It is wonderful to have professional waitstaff providing top notch service. It is my understanding that most of the staff are long time employees and their dedication to the establishment and each client shows. Starting off with a beverage followed by a hot roll with accompaniments (hummus, oil, olives) set the culinary tone. I highly recommend the eggplant rollatine appetizer with an authentic sauce - so my roll was partially used for losing not an ounce of that souce! Entrees were spot on. We ended with my "dessert" being the fab chocolate martini and my husband choosing the vanilla cheesecake which of course I had to sample. I do normally like a dense cheesecake but this option made me a fan of a light fluffy slightly browned cheesecake! A wonderful experience.
