    I previously removed a star bc of the long wait time, but they have seriously improved! I still call in my orders but whenever they say it will be ready, it is! Also just want to add that the turkey apple cheddar panini and the penne ala vodka wrap are my favorites. Be sure to check their weekly specials on the homepage too bc they have great options!

    I've given this place a few chances and this will be the last. I waited over 30 minutes for 1 salad and 1 panini. The salad was mediocre at best. The french dip panini was atrocious. First of all, it wasn't even a panini it was a half burnt pita. The meat, was as tough as leather and vinegary. It was supposed to come with caramelized onions and cheese, there were probably 6 slivers of onions on the whole thing and the cheese was hard and rubbery. I won't even give this to my dog it's so bad. Don't waste your time and money on this place there are much better options in glen cove.

    Amazing food, amazing service. The owners are always welcoming. Sandwiches, heroes, soup, breakfast etc. always fresh. 100%

    This place is a hidden gem. It's passed all the busier shopping centers in Glen Cove. I would never have thought to come here. But i decided to drive around and try a place I haven't been to. I'm glad I did. I ordered the chicken pesto panini. It was really good, but messy to eat. Not a huge deal, since it was delicious. BF ordered a chicken burrito of some sort. They had home made chips which were dope. Their homemade cole slaw is also pretty damn good. I need to give this place another try the next time I'm in the area. I do recommend for others to try.

    Lifeless chicken cutlet sandwich for $9:(

    I guess it is "healthy" in a way because it is tasteless and dry on the chicken cutlet sandwich. The side order cold slaw is @healthy" too since little mayo used which it s good I presume. The girl behind the counter is nice.

    They have great paninis. My favorite is the turkey and Granny Smith apple slices. Everything that I have tried has been fresh and tasty

    Always love the food here. I get the LA sesame chicken wrap every time. And a broccoli cheddar soup. Never a bad experience.

    HAD MY 50TH BIRTHDAY PARTY HERE AND WOULD DO IT AGAIN!!!!!…read more This was only my second time here but my first visit made such an impression that I had to celebrate my big day here!! I started my party planning with a previous employee but upon getting in touch with the owner TOMMY, everything went off without a hitch!!! My host/server MICHELLE T. was truly amazing!!!!! She orchestrated my party like a pro, checked-in frequently with me, perfectly timed my chosen courses and paid careful attention to ny birthday cake and cupcakes I brought in. I loved all their party options, they truly have something for everyone. If you want afternoon, brunch or dinner times, you can literally have dozens of different selections for your entire party courses, I hope to have a future celebration here, and try even more delicious choices. Valet parking was a great plus, location is also very convenient from Queens and Suffolk counties. Defintely check them out if you're looking for a weekend brunch, romantic dinner or a family celebration.

    Our group of 7 had reservations for 7:00pm a couple of Fridays ago. When we arrived, we pulled up…read moreto the valet, handed him our keys, and walked in right on time. We were seated immediately in the room toward the back left corner where we were the only table occupying the space. In fact, as the evening progressed, no other diners/groups were seated back there, which was nice. We observed that although it was a Friday evening at prime dinner hour, the restaurant never got too full nor was the bar area buzzing. Again, it was nice that it wasn't so hectic in there, but we noted that as curious for a spot like this, on a Friday evening, and when the weather was pleasant. Starting with a high point: our server was really good. He was a very nice young man who let us know at the end of our meal that it was actually his first day on the job. While we could tell he didn't know everything about the menu - which is totally understandable given him being a new hire - he was kind, personable, and went above and beyond to provide excellent and timely service. As for the venue, it was nice although not upscale and that was just our speed for this evening. We loved having the room to sit comfortably at a setup that could comfortably seat 8. As for the food, it was decent although I wouldn't call anything I tasted fantastic. For apps, we shared 2 orders apiece of calamari, crab cakes, and lamb chops (6 apps total) with the chops being my favorite out of those. The calamari were small and didn't pack a lot of flavor but they were fried well. The marinara sauce that came with it was also fine but not remarkable. The crab cakes were a little mushy for our liking. For my entrée, I ordered the Lobster Rigatoni. There was plenty of lobster on top, the portion was more than solid, and it came out at the right temperature but the flavor again failed to really impress and was somewhere between "fine" to "good". For dessert, I ordered the chocolate lava cake, and I was truly disappointed by that. For starters, there was no gooey "lava" as the name implied, and the edges were dry and seemed overcooked. The flavor again fell a little flat and I didn't bother to finish it even though I am usually a huge fan of chocolate desserts. All in all, we had an enjoyable evening as a crew, but the food could be elevated a bit from a flavor standpoint. I would give the food a little better than a "3" but I think they have enough going for them that amping up the flavors could do wonders for their desirability and drawing more diners.

    This restaurant is on the ground floor of a catering hall. It is roomy enough for tens of people…read more An easily-located venue for after-work parties, birthdays, celebrations and other events, Metropolitan Bar and Restaurant has a huge parking lot where guests park for free. There are five tv screens and one bar. There is also a cozy fireplace surrounded by armchairs. Each of the many tables accommodate about four to six people. There is also a grand piano and a dance floor. Outside, there is a patio for outdoor dining that has many heat lamps. I came here at 4pm when the restaurant opens and Happy Hour begins. I was the only patron there. Rekha, who co-owns this restaurant with her husband Raj, greeted me as soon as I walked in the door. She explained that the crowd really begins around 6 p.m. Adam the bartender prepared me a refreshingly good Cucumber Elderflower Gimlet. Greg the chef made a juicy and delicious 16 oz. Black Angus Ribeye Steak.with sautéed garlic spinach and baked potatoes au gratin. He also baked the tasty Italian cheesecake with blueberry compote that I devoured for dessert. Greg told me that he is a graduate of NYIT. If ever you are looking for an event venue or for a place to hang out after work, check out Metropolitan Bar and Restaurant. It is certainly worth a try because the staff is friendly and accommodating, and the food is good.
