"We arrived early and had a drink outside in the patio, and decided to eat out there as well. Beautiful restaurant patio and inside.. plus nice bathrooms. Food was terrific; we are Italian and tend to avoid Italian dishes (and Italian restaurants in general). Not so here- we enjoyed the Burrata/ watermelon salad special, the homemade spinach and cheese ravioli (3 huge ones- so soft and light) in vodka blush sauce special, and the pork chop w/ raisins and apples in a port sauce special. All were delicious, nicely presented and large portions. We finished off with/ the NY Cheesecake that had some berries and whipped cream on the side, and it too was fabulous. Our waiter Renee knew the menu, could speak to our ingredient queries, and was polite and friendly. He was excellent. It was a lovely meal and we'll definitely return to Metro North."

Everyone loved their meal (Shrimp scampi and ravioli specials). Great vibe to place. Service was excellent. Price was reasonable. First time we went there, but definitely will go back.

Our favorite restaurant in the Princeton area. Eight of us go there on a regular basis and we have all agreed that every meal we had was exceptional. Great before the theatre or just for a night out. Excellent service.

We had a fantastic lunch! The waitress provided outstanding service and allowed us plenty of time to enjoy our long conversation. The bussers were also very friendly. Since it was our first visit, we can't wait to return! View menu

My sister and I enjoyed a light dinner before heading to McCarter Theater for a performance of "Empire Records, The Musical" on a weeknight. The service, food, and atmosphere were all outstanding. I highly recommend Metro North! - Patti

At the recommendation of a friend we had gone here to celebrate our anniversary. The bartender Mike was an excellent host while we waited for our table. Once seated the service and food continued to be no disappointment. Excellent portion sizes for the price.

Outpost dining was impacted by a rather loud group that had apparently had been enjoying the drink specials for a while before we arrived. I should have asked server to be moved, but we were at the peak of dinner service, and seats were limited. Food was good, and the service was excellent. Other options in Princeton that would fill the same bill. View menu

We had a fabulous dinner at Metro North last night. We arrived a couple of minutes before our 7 PM reservation and were seated promptly. Our server, Mary, was fabulous and very happy to answer our questions. We ordered the tomato, avocado, and mozzarella salad for an appetizer and it was terrific. For our dinners, we settled on the Pecan Chicken and the Rigatoni a la Vodka. Both were superb and plentiful as we took doggie bags home for our lunches the next day. We found some room for Tartufo and were not disappointed. Will definitely be back the next time we are in the area.

Back to a favorite meal this time their Salmon Oscar. Moist, tender, flaky salmon surrounded by little pasta treats oved a bed of fine spaghetti magnificent. Started with an appetizer staple, their onion soup, well crafted with melted cheese over bread slices. Lots of onion under all that. My initial drink was a Mohito, which is served in a jar with a straw, not a glass. Sweetness just right. Then a glass of wine with my dinner. This Thursday night was a quiet and restful ambience. Typical. One of their best features is a very wide menu selection. Pasta to meat to seafood with many variations on each. Can't miss getting a great meal with service to match. Try it.
