“ Sharing a big thank you to Jesse and Mariano for the all around excellent service at Metro North. I set up a team happy hour and everyone had a really great time. We enjoyed the Italian spring rolls, ahi tuna wontons, calamari and flatbread apps. Jesse was very nice and helpful with coordinating the accommodations for our larger group. Mariano's service was stellar, very attentive and timely and we felt very supported. Thank you again! ”

“ Pleasantly surprised how good this Italian restaurant is. We started with bang bang shrimp and calamari. Shrimp were excellent and the Calamari could have been a little better with less batter. I had the spinach ricotta ravioli in vodka sauce, delicious. My wife had chicken parmigiana which was a healthy size, she definitely took 1/2 of it home over angel hair pasta. Everyone enjoyed the Caymus wine and dinner. Definitely worth going to when you're in Princeton. ”

“ Went on a Saturday night for dinner. Had fried calamari toscano one of the best with hot peppers and olives as an appetizer. Also had tomato, avocado , and buratta salad very good. For entrees had a veal chop that was so tender and delicious. Another entree was ahi tuna very good and farfalla pasta with sausage beans and broccoli rabe very good. The best was the pork chop scarapiello. Service was excellent. Our server was very attentive. Ambience a very nice and comfortable restaurant and nice bar. ”

“ It has been about a decade since I have been here. When our children were school aged, we would take them here often on a Friday night for burgers. Was always consistent, even when busy. Fortunately nothing has changed. Last night a few of us met here for a 5:30 reservation while the wives were home for "book club". I call it drink club, but that's another story. When we arrived the place was not too busy. We were seated immediately in a nice quiet corner in the back. Joanne, our server, promptly greeted us. We enjoyed our old fashions and manhattans while we were shooting the breeze and perusing the menu. Cocktails were on the mark. The bang bang shrimp and calamari appetizers were delivered in the timely manner as the restaurant was filling up. The shrimp had a nice little zip but not too hot. The calamari was lightly breaded and perfectly cooked. By the time we placed our entree orders, the place was packed. Regardless, Joanne was attentive but not over bearing. Pace was perfect. It took a while for the entrees to come out, but the tuna was cooked a perfect rare and while the veal dish came out a few minutes later due to an error in the kitchen, it was also on the mark. The bread pudding my friend got looked very nice. Generous portion with fresh berries. Coffee was hot. Cappuccino perfect. By the time we left, there were several parties waiting and the bar was full. I would strongly recommend a reservation. We had a great time. Ambiance, great service, great food with great friends. Doesnt get better than that. I wont wait a decade to bring the Admiral back here. What was I thinking? ”

“ Great food and service! Wonderful ambiance. I had a veal and shrimp dish in a Cognac cream sauce over a capellini pasta. It was amazing. I also had an amazing warm chocolate lava cake drenched in a warm chocolate, paired with a vanilla ice cream scoop. It was excellent. ”

“ Food was quite good. The porkchop was really moist and well cooked. This was also helped by the sauce on top. The mash was very nice and smooth. Seafood was also really really good. MAYbe a touch on the salty side. Service was nice, attentive but not overbearing. Ambiance - have been coming here for a number of years (10+). Have not been in here though for the last 3 or 4 - the place hasn't changed. Might be time for a refresh but overall has been pretty clean, and well maintained. Will be back. ”

“ Excellent meal all around. All of our food was top notch and our server, Nicole, was cheerful and attentive. Ambiance in the dining room is nice and the bar had a nice vibe to it. My standout dish was honey mustard salmon. It was cooked perfectly and had a nice sublime sauce to accent its flavor. Highly recommend. And. being in Princeton, it even has parking! ”

“ So we were headed to the McCarter Theater to see A Christmas Carol (which was fabulous!) and decided to stop for a quick dinner...definitely a hidden gem! I have to say we were pleasantly surprised, the restaurant is beautiful, staff very friendly, specialty drinks FUN & TASTY! Pic is the Sugar Cookie Martini & Christmas Margarita!! As for food...Menu isn't too extensive, but they have some nice options plus specials. We had Bang Bang Shrimp app, great taste & not too spicy. I had the Beet & Goat cheese salad, tasted very good but couldn't finish it...was huge! My husband had Chicken Francaise, his fave and he ate the entire entree, he loved it! We've already went back again we loved this place so much. Highly recommend... BTW, they have an outside dining deck, can't wait to try that out too when the weather warms up! ”
