    Lovely place and friendly service. Food a bit spicy! Apps and desserts were amazing. Great place to go for a "nice" meal that isn't crazy $$ (though not inexpensive). Great menu items and fun cocktails though we didn't try any. Plenty of parking and takes reservations so very convenient.

    On a date night, my husband and I were seated at a table at the far end of the restaurant. It was a bit noisy passing by the bar area, however we weren’t at all bothered by it from where we sat. Danielle was our server and was very attentive the entire evening. We both got the Manchego salad and Salmon Oscar- which were superb! For dessert, we shared the tartufo - would highly recommend it! We love the Metro!

    We always love coming here. It is our favorite restaurant in Princeton. Because it is not downtown, parking is easier and there is more room and comfort inside. The food, service and drinks are always great. Thank you and we will be back.

    Food and service were top-notch. Our server was appropriately attentive and the timing of receiving our drinks, appetizers, and entrees was just right. We were there early for dinner because of our evening plans and there was a lively crowd at the bar. There also appeared to be a company holiday party, so the noise level was probably higher than normal, but it did not affect our ability to have table conversation. At our table we had three different entrees, and each was deemed "delicious", as were the appetizers. I recommend you try it, for me it is definitely worth a return visit.
