    Another excellent dining experience at this restaurant. Loved the whole holiday vibe, decorations and tree in the bar area. Made a great place for a picture. The sangrias made by the bartender was incredible and day by window for dining- very cozy. The food was fantastic, my filet mignon was delicious and my dates salmon was yummy. We topped it off with fabulous small little chocolate cake filled with chocolate sauce inside. Overall I would highly recommend.

    This is our go-to place for any special occasion and last night was a birthday!!! We had a lovely table near the fireplace and our favorite server, George. We are made to feel very important. Jose, the maitre’d has the ability to make every customer feel like a VIP. Many restaurants have good food, but here you are made to feel special. We started with shrimp cocktail and the specimens were very large. The sauce as hot as we love!! Entrees were chosen from the specials, a black bass and a sliced filet mignon. Both excellent. We had the bread pudding for dessert, that came with a candle, plate decoration and a singing troupe!!! A very nice Sauvignon blanc washed it all down. A perfect celebration!!!!

    Our first time at the Metuchen Inn and we are sure to return many more times. The ambiance is delightful. We sat upstairs near a fireplace. It was quiet so we could all talk in a normal manner. The food was delicious. So glad we tried this restaurant.

    The Metuchen Inn is always a wonderful dining experience. We took friends for dinner to celebrate their 50th Wedding Anniversary. One of our friend’s dinner came out with his halibut fish, very dry. The waiter made good right away and brought out a bronzino dinner instead. Only negative I can say is that we had to ask for bread.

    Perfect place for our party of 6 old friends to have our annual Christmas get together. The atmosphere was cozy. The servers were pleasant, the service was efficient. When undecided about 4 potential choices, the server recommended the short ribs. They were extraordinarily tender and flavorful without being greasy and fatty. The portion was perfect.
