We have been to Mettawas Station on a few occasions and have always had a good experience and the service is always good. Yesterday we went for lunch and I was very disappointed. My spouse had Onion soup with a salad and thoroughly enjoyed it....I ordered a Reuben sandwich and was very disappointed. There was a large piece of grizzle throughout the sandwich. It was so tough I couldn't bite through it. There was a clump of mushy sauerkraut and the bottom slice of marble rye bread was soaking wet. Needless to say I left most of it on the plate. It doesn't say much for a Kitchen/Chef that would serve a Sandwich like that. If they can't get good quality pastrami then take the item off the menu. I was never asked how my meal was and didn't mention it to the waiter but I wish I had said something. Bottom line... Don't order the Reuben sandwich.More

I ordered the Linguini Pescatore which was $28.00. The pasta, the scallops and the shrimps were overcooked. The mussels shells were broken so you were picking pieces of shell out of your dinner. Gordon Ramsey would go ballistic! Why do they leave the tails on...the shrimp so you have to pick them up and get sauce all over your hands to pull the tail off? I'm pretty sure they tossed in the Arribiata sauce because it was very spicy and peppery, it was not a red sauce with wine. The sauce was watery. No garlic bread? No parmeson? Then they ask you for a tip on pick up which drives me crazy.More

Wow, great value on Pasta Night. Our server, Mitchell , was fun and fantastic in all ways. From the oil and bread, Caesar salad, Meat Sauce, Pasta and desert everything was great. Prices were fair. We hope to be back soon.

We enjoyed a delightful meal last night with friends, one of whom is the son of a career railroader and ultimately a conservationist. The guarantee that this place is restored truly saved this piece of history for all to enjoy. It was awesome to hear...the story through his eyes as we look around at how beautiful it is today. The owners of the restaurant served up delightful food and the staff were very attentive. Hopefully we can return again with other friends and share the history of the Mettawas Restaurant.More

Arrived with a group of 8 after power outage at another location left us without a reservation. Very pleasant hostess got us seated and passed us over to a wonderful waitress with great sense of humour. We all enjoyed our time here. Food was excellent....Perch/ pickerel, veal marsala, tuscan chicken and ribs were all very tasty. Waitress was very personable. Was it pricy? Yes. Was it a memorable meal? Yes Thank you for our eveningMore

Lovely restaurant with an historic ambiance. It was a train station, but it now houses an upscale fancy dining experience. The staff was very friendly, the service was timely, we rarely waited and never had to flag down any one. The food was exceptional. Our...server was very friendly and offered selections and descriptions for any questions we asked. My only suggestion might be smaller portions (of pizza and the Chicken Parmesan at least) as we had to get take-away packages or send back plates with half our dinners still on them (!) and I really don't like doing that! Overall this was a lovely place offering upscale fine dining.More

We ordered calamari as an appetizer which was very good. I had the homemade gnocchi…so tender…in a bolognese sauce. Hubby had the fettuccine eggplant parmigiana (added chicken) which he loved. For dessert we had chocolate cheesecake with a white ganache. Our server, Laura, was very...friendly and attentive.More

My wife was there with a friend. My wife is quiet and does not like to make a fuss. Her girlfriend is particular and when she saw that my wife was not happy with the Grizzle on Steak Sandwich her friend tried to get it...corrected 2X. Then the cook came out and look un-kept and was not enthused. Her friend ordered Steak Sandwich take out last week and she complained about Grizzle. I don't want to go there and have to complain. If you can't do it right the first time then I'm not getting premium service for premium prices. It will take a lot for me to go there, if I go at all.More

We recently dined at this restaurant. When I made the reservation I was told we had a table upstairs. Being a first time guest and from out of town I had no knowledge as to what this meant. The upstairs is a small room. When...we dined there was two large parties as well as two tables of four. One of the large groups was so loud it was impossible for our party of four to carry on a conversation. We did asked to be relocated but there were no tables on the main level. This large party also continued to open a window resulting in very cold drafts in the dining area. When management asked for the window to be closed there were vocal in their displeasure. The food was just okay. I ordered the gnocchi. There was no indication on the menu that this dish was spicy. For me the spice level was too much and resulted in me not being able to eat my meal. I would not return to this restaurant. On a positive, our waiter, Sebastian, was excellent.More

We ate in a room with a very large group which ruined our dining experience. Check before you book where you will be seating. The upper dining room is not great!

We visited on the first day of autumn for a dinner to celebrate a real estate deal. It was the first really chilly day of the year and the restaurant was cold (I wish I'd brought my cashmere wrap). The country music was also somewhat...loud and jarring. The food was good (very yummy mocktails!), but the service was uneven. No water was offered or brought (we had to ask, mid-meal) and the complementary bread arrived with our entrees, after we'd finished our appetizers. The server inquired how our entrees were after we were pretty much finished eating, and once we finished our entrees, we felt rushed to settle the bill and leave, Please keep non-dairy milk on hand for your customers who would like coffee or tea and can't/don't eat dairy. It's a small thing, but it enables these diners to also finish off their meal in a leisurely fashion. We'll give Mettawas another try, but it was a rather disappointing night out for us.More

My first clue was the very basic $13 Caesar. The burrata was actually just mozzarella, and some of the Italian was misspelled on the menu. I was annoyed by the sneaky “ala carte” pricing —bread is extra, fries are extra. The food was fine—kind of...bland—okay for Kingsville but certainly not worth the $200 we spent. It’s a shame. I really wanted to love it.More
