About Metuchen Inn

Fine dining in a landmark 1840s building, with intimate rooms, a fireplace, outdoor seating, a full bar, and five private spaces for parties and business functions with audio and video equipment available. The New American and Mediterranean-leaning menu includes jumbo crab meat ravioli, seared Atlantic salmon, wild mushroom fettuccine, and warm apple strudel, built on ingredients sourced from Hawaii, South America, and Europe. Catering is offered for weddings, anniversaries, corporate events, and family reunions, with pick-up, delivery, or fully staffed service. Takeout and delivery are available through GrubHub and DoorDash, and guests may bring their own bottle of wine during the summer.

The restaurant occupies a landmark structure dating to 1843, and its story reaches back to Prohibition, including a liquor license tied to New Jersey history. It has served generations of diners in the Metuchen community. The owners are Constantine Papanicolaou and Victor Schipa, who describe their approach as showing sophistication through simplicity in cooking.
