Last minute, late night reservation with work team - party of 5 - Thurs. eve. Place busy - we were likely the last dining party. As we sat down, the music cranked up & the bar scene - with dancing allowed we saw - picked up. Fun, vibrant place even if it made conversations with foreign work team a little difficult to hear!!! We all loved the decor, food (tho' shared appetizers still so big we scarcely had room for dinner!). John the waiter was great. Friendly, attentive & helpful with menu choices. His quiet but efficient he... read more

We try to dine at the Metro Cafe whenever we visit the Freehold, NJ area, because we're always pleased with their eclectic menu and lively atmosphere. We've probably dined there about 4 times over the past 5 years and have never been disappointed! The service can be slow, but the great thing is we never feel rushed.

Metropolitan Cafe is always a great place to dine. The menu is varied and the specials are sure to please. The bread basket includes humus and a sweetened butter very nice before an appetizer. Love the calamari and a Shrimp! Usually have sushi as a main and someone in my group will have a steak. Recently enjoyed the miso cod. It was amazing!

Consistently good, Metropolitan Cafe remains a go to spot. Rivals the pricier Redbank establishments.

I waitied outside under the dining area and the staff bought me a glass of ice water. Once we were all together and we got seated, the waitress couldn't have been nicer. She gave us all the time we needed and didn... read more

Food was good but drinks were grossly overpriced. $10 but it wasn't that good, and also...you're not in Manhattan... the $15 heirloom and mozzarella appetizer is also overpriced considering it had 1 mini heirloom tomato.
