    We had a party of 4. We made reservations for 730 and was informed that the kitchen was a little backed up and that we had to wait a few minutes to be seated, which we did not have any problem with. Its a good sign to me when a restaurant is crowded - it means that they are doing something right. So which we understood. Our appetizers and entress came out quickly, and everyone loved their meal. Staff is very accommodating. We asked to move our table to the back of the dining room where there was less foot traffic and much less noise. We will return for sure.

    We have been eating here for 8 years and it never disappoints. We like the food especially the salad dressing. The wait staff is very pleasant.

    I have had dinner at Metro North on three occasions. On all three occasions the food was delicious and the service was excellent. I especially enjoyed the seafood fra diavolo. This is one of my favorite seafood dishes and the way it is prepared here is the best. My wife has had the short ribs and garlic mashed potatoes on at least two occasions and raved about the taste. I would highly recommend Metro North in Princeton.
