One thing I have to say about Meta - it's consistently good, no matter what you order. There were 4 of us for dinner and 2 had the fish special which was very good.

The food is delicious and came out in time (not too long of a wait). The service boys were quiet, but polite.

Have been to Meta many times. I hate to say but the food has not been what it used to be.' Very poor presentation. I had roast chicken and it was a tiny leg and thigh thrown on a plate with broccoli. The chicken was dry. It seems like each time I go lately I see a decline. Bread is dinner rolls from a package. See less people also.
