Gathered at eno terra with my Princeton book club friends for our annual holiday lncheon on a Wednesday. Our server, Lynn, was excellent, but she was the only server seen and service was very slow. A lot of young servers walking around but none of them brought us a bread basket or asked if we needed anything. So I would say your servers need to be directed better so they are not milling about. We finally received our bread after we had all finished with our lunch. So, please give Lynn some extra help.

On a date night, my husband and I were seated at a table at the far end of the restaurant. It was a bit noisy passing by the bar area, however we weren’t at all bothered by it from where we sat. Danielle was our server and was very attentive the entire evening. We both got the Manchego salad and Salmon Oscar- which were superb! For dessert, we shared the tartufo - would highly recommend it! We love the Metro!

It was really great. It was our first Thanksgiving at a restaurant, and the food was so good, our server (I think her name was Kylie) was so nice, and we all were happy.
