    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!

    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.
