Lovely setting, lovely people, excellent food and service! We have NEVER had a bad meal or poor service here. Chef is innovative as well as awesome with classic dishes. Last evening we enjoyed the Gougeres (not to be missed). The salads are fresh and light. For our mains we had the Cote de Parc, a large chop with a very most delicious sauce, the steak Frites-always perfect, the scallops-perfectly cooked with a yummy Risotto and pear tart (go just for that!) Our go-to place for family, friends or just a couple's night out.

Generally, the food was delicious and the service staff was attentive and welcoming. A lot of guests on a Wednesday! My husband and I tried different dishes and were especially impressed with the barbecue shrimp and the cornbread! Overall, a great experience!

We dined at Metro during a weekday business lunch. Our table near the fireplace was cozy and we were able to chat without noise interference. The restaurant had a medium sized crowd, and the tables were separated sufficiently for private conversation. The staff was patient and we were not rushed. I ordered the pork schnitzel with the sweet cabbage and potatoes. We also shared brussels sprouts. The food was delicious and the presentation appealing. I would definitely recommend Metro for business lunches. The menu would be suitable for a diverse group of palates.

Our dining experience was outstanding, thanks to your manager/bartender. Both he and his helper made our lunch exceptional. It was a birthday for my friend, who is wheelchair-bound. Kudos to your manager, who considered the situation and made certain that we were very well taken care of.
