    Metro North is totally dependable for excellent food, reasonable prices, great service. Jocelyn, our server, was charming & considerate. We have tickets for McCarter Theatre & this is a great place for pre-show dinner.

    This restaurant totally took me by surprise. We booked it because it is close to the theater, but wow we lucked out because literally everything from the drinks to the desserts are excellent.

    Friendly comfortable Italian. Lots of classic dishes with a few surprises and non-Italian options. Dining room is bustling, more of a family celebration place.

    Lovely pre-theater dinner. Service was attentive, food was very good, and being there before the busy Friday dinner crowd was excellent
