On a date night, my husband and I were seated at a table at the far end of the restaurant. It was a bit noisy passing by the bar area, however we weren’t at all bothered by it from where we sat. Danielle was our server and was very attentive the entire evening. We both got the Manchego salad and Salmon Oscar- which were superb! For dessert, we shared the tartufo - would highly recommend it! We love the Metro!
