The service here is always good as are the cocktails. I was glad to see they changed the menu but very disappointed in the way the dishes were executed. I ordered the crab and black linguine and it wasn’t great. It was basically lump crabmeat thrown on top rather than being cooked as part of the sauce. The sauce itself was overly spicy and bland (all you could taste was the heat) and masked the flavor of squid ink linguine which is delicious on its own and doesn’t need quite so much sauce and particularly not a sauce so spic... read more

Good experience out on the patio. Food was excellent. A little pricey for the area but all around good. Will go back.

Very good food and drinks.....only issue was being seated in the back room - 10 feet from an open dishwashing area. Since the area is not enclosed all you see and hear are plates and glasses banging together for two hours by the staff.........no care was tmtaken in trying to dull the racket.

John is a great waiter and Emeric manages this place to a 1st class dining experience. Another great dinner at Metro!

Nice outdoor seating perfect to enjoy some tasty and innovative food. The appetizer dumplings are light and flavorful. Drinks are reasonable although they should extend the same prices as they do inside at the bar if it’s happy hour. Crab cakes and steak salad were really good and we could not eat it all so we took the rest home. Service was very good . Try the gelato sampler for desert.

Great service, good food and charming outside seating (weather permitting). They have "special offers" that change daily that are highly confusing (some just at the bar, others just at particular days or even hours) that leave one with a little bit of a bad taste but all service related employees make up for this.

I've been a fan of Metro for many years but haven't eaten there in a few and I was blown away from how good it was this Saturday. The Sushi is top notch and you have to try the Fireballs. They are amazing ! Great experience and can't wait to go back !
