    The standout was the good. My husband’s lamb lollipops were excellent. I had the crab corn chowder and that was delicious as well. He loved his salmon oscar and I thoroughly enjoyed my shrimp stuffed with crabmeat. Service, ambience and noise level were all great. This is a great pre-theatre restaurant.

    We went to Metro North for the first time. The food was good, but not outstanding compared to other Italian restaurants in the area with similar prices. Service was good, but meals took a long time because of several large parties which they should have informed us of when we ordered.
