I feel like this place is hidden , the location was great . The staff were very kind and explained things on the menu we inquired about. The owners were hands so that made the experience memorable. I definitely would revisit again, such a nice place!
My food was cold when it came to the table.
Metro 8 was fantastic! The atmosphere is upscale but not stuffy. The staff are friendly and professional. The owner even came by to check on our table. You can tell they care about every detail. We had several appetizers - Chorizo, spinach dip, empanadas and provoleta. Delicious! I had the filet mignon au poivre for dinner. Tender, and perfectly cooked. Cocktails were great, and they have a solid wine list. They even have a party room for special occasions. A fantastic dining experience from start to finish. You have to try the Tiramisu. Tastes like your Nonna made it. We'll definitely be back!
Our food tasted a little like dirt. It tasted like the storage of the food was poor. Hopefully this makes since, but it tasted like the food was stored next to other food. Like that fridge taste of having your food be neighbors to something else and acquiring that flavor. It's not a high-end restaurant but has nice vibes.
The food was excellent. Both of us had the filet mignon au poivre. It was cooked exactly how we wanted and it was tender and delicious. The atmosphere is like an old classic steak house, it was very clean, and the service was excellent. We will definitely return to this restaurant.
Everything about this place is pretty good minus the owner. Absolutely terrible person and it shows the moment you interact with them. The staff deserves better. I wouldn't eat here solely because of the owner.
Another awesome meal at Metro 8. This is a place everyone needs to try once and then will put it in the rotation like I have. Such great service and the food is awesome. I had the gnocchi special last night with chicken and it was the best I ever had. The Chorizo appetizer was great - love the sauce. Don't miss this place. Get there now.
The food is excellent
the owner has personalized service to every table, making sure everything is perfect
The server was outstanding
One of the best steaks I have ever eaten! The service was impeccable. We can't wait to go back!
Fork was really dirty - really had food on front and back - and was replaced by server. Shrimp cocktail ok and nothing special. Cocktail sauce a little too sharp for me and thrown on top of shredded lettuce. i didn't care for the presentation. Server very good. Entree very flavorful. Dessert good.

We enjoyed our first visit here. Graduation weekend meant we should have made a reservation, but the staff was kind and accommodating. The food was delicious, and the wait staff was knowledgeable. The staff worked gracefully and efficiently. This was a wonderful experience for a special occasion.
From the outside of the building you’d be surprised that this amazing gem of a restaurant sits just inside. The decor is simplistic and quaint, the atmosphere is romantic with a low lit dining room and white linen draped tables. The servers are very respectful, attentive and willing to offer suggestions on the menu. As for the menu, it is filled delectable choices both American and from the Executive Chefs home country of Argentina. Their signature steak was delightful! It was cooked perfectly with the perfect amount of sear! My wife’s filet mignon was melt in your mouth tender, with the perfect temperature when it arrived at the table. After eating all we could of the amazing food, the server boxed up what we had left and even took the time to make sure everything was separated in the container so nothing would touch. The service we received here is top notch and I will definitely be recommending this restaurant to my local friends.
Worst salmon I’ve ever had! It was so bland and just awful! I tried my daughter’s dish also, just so plain.
Great service and delicious food. The chimichurri sauce is *chefs kiss* and goes well with the filet, salmon or the churrasco steak!
