The bar had great service, however the music was a little bit too loud. The bartender came by several times to make sure we were alright. The apps hit the spot with enough spice on them. The ravioli dish at lunch only had 4 maybe we can add another 2, so that we can be full. Great job by all.

This a fantastic place. Been going here for 25 years. Food is very good. Restaurant has a nice vibe and a good spot for a date. Bar is well equipped with a decent selection of wine. Specialty drinks are also available. Emerich and John are excellent bar tenders and can make anything you want. Rob Kash the owner is a restaurant genius. Try the Twice Cooked Cuban Steak. My favorite and on the menu since the place opened. Little on the pricey side, especially for alcohol. Meals are priced mid range, probably $30 + for entree's. You can save a few bucks if you go during Happy Hour and sit at the bar. Very popular spot and gets packed on weekends especially. Make a reservation if you plan to sit a table. Parking can be challenging as with every restaurant in downtown Freehold. Enjoy!

I cannot believe that I have never been to the Metropolitan and enjoyed our lunch very much. Three of us went and ordered Lobster Grilled Cheese & Soup, Crispy Chicken Sandwich and a Chicken Cutlet Sandwich. We shared an order of Edamame - very good. Our server was Kerry, and he was informative and attentive. We will have to come back again. This lunch took place during the Christmas season and the restaurant was tastefully decorated.

Highly recommend this restaurant. The food and service quality was truly exceptional, I can't wait to come back. The dumplings, sushi, bbq short rib and the Tequila old fashioned was particularly my favorite, great ambiance and customer service.

My friend and I got together for dinner. When we arrived we parked in the lot. We walked into a really cute restaurant. We were sat and were served by Josh and he was great. We had some cocktails that included the vodka martini which were good. We also had some fries. It was a good experience all in all.

Whether you are a longtime fan like me or trying Metropolitan for the café, you're in for something special. This restaurant located in downtown FREEHOLD is my go to spot for incredible food. The filet mignon eggrolls are a must try and I order them every single time I come here. The tune of volcano was the perfect fusion of sushi and crab salad. I truly enjoyed that tender Asian skirt steak the sushi is impressively fresh and our dessert was nothing short of spectacular. The donuts were heavenly, but the creamy Nutella crème brûlée stole the show. Metropolitan Café never disappoints. It's a place. I will always return to and highly recommend.

Sitting here now and just got the App...tuna nachos. Look good (full review pending). But I need 85 characters...

After visiting Metropolitan Cafe for the first time yesterday, I'm already dreaming about my next visit to this restaurant. First off, the bread and butter you start off with is great. The raisin rolls with the maple butter is so unique and a pleasant start to the meal. For appetizers, we had the crab cake and the tuna tartare pizza. The crab cake was fresh and pleasantly crispy with a delicious sauce on the plate. The tuna tartare pizza also had a great balance of sauces with the tuna and cucumber on an extra-crispy scallion pancake. For my entree, I got the crab cake sliders. Like the crab cake, the crab itself was delicious. The buns were nice and soft, while the slaw added a nice crunch. The French fries were also decent. I tried a piece of the chicken quesadilla off the specials menu which was pleasant, but nothing special. Additionally, I had the angry dragon roll. This roll had an amazing combination of textures, and the roll melted in my mouth. Outside of the food, the service here was excellent. The servers were regularly refilling our beverages, and the food came out quickly. Additionally, this place has a moody and intimate vibe that makes for the perfect dinner setting. All I can say is I cannot wait to be back here!
