    Wonderful service and food! We had some requests for entree changes which were handled beautifully by Salvador, our waiter, and the kitchen. And Alfredo remains a watchful, behind the scenes gem!

    This is the second time I have been to this restaurant where the appetizer was served quickly, but the entrée took FOREVER to arrive, as if they lost my order

    We love Metro as a great place to meet for dinner. I almost always order the gnocchi. We always sit in Kendra’s section as she makes us feel welcome.

    Disappointing. soup was not hot when it was served, nor was the turkey dinner. there was a "back up" in the kitchen and it took us nearly an hour to get our food. Carrots were undercooked and there was only a teaspoon full of stuffing on the plate. last year was great, this year, not so much.

    We came for Thanksgiving dinner. I made an early reservation for a specific table for three in the fireplace room. They did not reserve that table or any table for us. The men at check in were not very accommodating. We ate in another room. They did not care that we have been regular customers. While the others in our party liked the turkey breast dinner, there were not many options for a vegetarian like me, unless I want butternut squash in every course. I had a dinner salad and the butternut squash raviolis. The salad was all lettuce and the entree was good, however it was a small portion of raviolis and vegetables. One person in our party ordered a large pineapple juice. He was brought a small one and asked if he wanted to have two ay twice the price. Our server was okay, however my experience was disappointing this year.
