I had a few people recommended Metro 8 but never had the chance to make it here until last week when I took some colleagues here for a business dinner. The service and food were both excellent. The steaks were cooked perfectly and fantastic flavor. Three dsserts were shared between the 6 of us and it was just the right amount with how rich they were. The only more neutral observation was that my 32oz ribeye was slightly smaller than I expected yet the flavor made up for it. Would definitely come here again. Oh, the rolls and the jalapeño cilantro cream cheese that came out before appetizers was the best rolls I've ever had in a restaurant!

One of the best restaurants in the Area. If you visit the Triangle you should go there and have dinner. The food is delicious and everyone is very kind and attentive to details. I fully recommend it.

It's one of the best steaks I have ever eaten. Everything was delicious. The dessert was amazing. Highly recommend this place.
The food was amazing as well as the service. Place is a little loud inside, so no quite romantic dinner, but food and service made up for it. Best ribeye I have had in a while, and the bread is delicious.

This was our first visit, and it was all around a great experience. The waitstaff were knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations when asked. The filet mignon was done perfectly. We plan to be back!

Simply the best steaks at half the price of the major steakhouses in the Triangle. What's even better is that everything else was equally as good. Great service, didn't have to ask for a thing. The staff kept our drinks coming, were friendly but most importantly efficient. Intimate enough for a date or ladies' night out. Perfect for out of town guest or a business dinner. Our waitress Julianna was the best.

The intimate setting, quality service, delicious menu offerings, and reasonable pricing make Metro 8 climb to my top position of best steakhouse in the triangle area. Try the melt in your mouth churrasco steak and the dulce de leche crepes. You will be dreaming of them!

We came to Metro 8 for a late Valentine’s Day date last night and I can’t say enough good things about it. The acoustics in the restaurant make it so easy to have a quiet conversation and the wait staff were so speedy and polite. The owner was also out helping her staff serve and was very personable when she would come by our table, it really added to the experience. I haven’t mentioned the food yet, but it was delicious. The steak was tender and super flavorful and my husband was especially appreciative that this is the first restaurant we’ve been to for a special occasion that got his requested meat temperature just right. Make sure to save room for dessert!

Appetizers very good . Filet very tender. The only complaint was that Filet au Poivre was not done right. Instead of putting peppercorns on the top to form a crust a not so tasty sauce with peppers was used.

Cute place but no reason to go back. Allison could use some more bartending courses.

All of the food was top tier. The Alfredo spinach is just spinach and Alfredo so it's a bit different but not bad. The bread and herbed butter were 4/5. Proteins were well seasoned and cooked right. Lamb chops 5/5 Skirt steak 5/5. Both came with some red herbed up vinegarette which was underwhelming. Both meats could use specific specialized sauces for the price. But sauceless the skirt steak was great tender and juicy and the lamb chops were S teir a must try item. The French fries were perfectly crispy and fluffy 5/5. The ranch is pretty much store bought. On a whole this place would be heavenly if the sauce game was better. The service was great but the atmosphere feels slightly dull but the food and people make up for it.

A quietly competent place to have a good eating experience. Elegantly understated!
