    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%

    Chicken burrito

    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.

    I'm back and better than before…read more We started with the spinach and artichoke dip, which was creamy, rich, and served with perfectly crisp chips. The shishito peppers were blistered just right with great flavor and a little kick. Simple, but done well. The smash burger was the standout. Cooked perfectly with a great sear, juicy inside, and topped with melty cheese and pickles that balanced everything. Add the truffle fries and it was game over. Crispy, flavorful, and generously seasoned. The Greek salad was fresh and bright, with good quality feta and olives. A solid, refreshing balance to the heavier dishes. Service was exceptional. Attentive without hovering. The decor is warm and stylish, great energy without being too loud.

    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.

Jeanine herself is so warm and accommodating and is such a sincere and kind person. On one visit when I was in a rush picking up dinner for my mom, she went above and beyond to quickly prepare the most perfectly tender chicken cutlet with vegetables in just minutes. On my most recent visit, I had the most delicious chicken parm with ziti I have ever had in my life. The ziti was not only perfectly cooked, but the sauce - wow! It was something out of this world. The best I've ever had. I can't even properly describe how incredible it was - you have to try it for yourself! While I was waiting, someone at the bar overheard my order and told me how amazing it was and said that I am going to love it! She was absolutely right. I've also had their brick oven pizza many times - they make it fresh right in front of you in minutes and it's absolutely delicious. I can't believe how quickly they prepare such phenomenal food across the board. The prices are incredibly reasonable for such high-quality, home-cooked style food. You can absolutely really taste the care and quality in everything they make. Jeanine's is the best - I highly recommend!

Cons: I've called this place 4 times in past couple of months for a pick-up order. First time was great and picked up the food and fell in love so much so that it would be a regular on a night that I'd pick up rather than cook. Second time I called and was told to hold on and I literally timed it. After 10 minutes, no one picked up but could hear all the chatter from the bar patrons. Third time I called it was probably picked up by a bar patrons that sounded like he really enjoyed his liquids. Needless to say, he placed me down on bar and after what seemed like a few minutes, I was hung up on. The last and final time I attempted to call for pickup, no one ever picked up the phone. Final result: I believe if you plan on going up there and dealing with the wait, then the food is worth it. As for me being a regular customer, they've lost my business. If they had a working website or some other way of ordering, I may try them again. Otherwise, I won't go there unless I plan to sit and eat there or indulge at the bar: The potential for a great business is there, but maybe they only want to remain as a bar to their regulars.

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.

    We sat at the bar and had their meatball dish. It was so good! Very nice friendly serviceread more

The restaurant was moderately full, but not as full as one would think leading up to a holiday weekend. My party of 4 always enjoys a cocktail before dinner. We were seated promptly for our 7:30pm reservation, and we placed our drink orders soon after. What is unforgivable and truly amazing given that the restaurant was not super busy is that it took over 35 minutes to get those drinks. There are really no words for this. While perusing the menu, I asked one of the bus people if I could have a wine list as our server was no where to be found. She acknowledged me with a nod, but then went off and about clearing tables, totally disregarding my request. After several minutes upon realizing that my request was being blatantly ignored, I had to go up to the bar area myself to request a wine list. At this point, the same bus person saw me doing this and looked panicked. I am not sure if she did not speak English or if she was a tad slow and/or incompetent, but again, inexcusable. The meal for the most part was decent, but prices had definitely gone up quite a bit from my last visit. Maybe that might explain why the restaurant was not that busy. As a final note, the restaurant made no acknowledgment of my birthday, even though it was stated quite clearly in my reservation. Oh well, not the end of the world, but reflective of the way this establishment is managed. Overall, I cannot say that I had a totally poor experience, but I can honestly say that I did not have a great experience either.
