    Everything was delightful! Excellent service, delicious fare, in an attractive modern setting. The only reason for the 4 stars overall was we would’ve liked a slightly larger portion given the price ;-)

    I usually get the croque monsieur, but still wish they would reduce the amount of bread. It’s just too much. Wait staff was pleasant and efficient.

    Great restaurant if you are bringing along a doggo. They have a really nice patio with plenty of umbrellas and heaters They have an ivy-covered wall separating the patio from the busy street. We didn't even hear the cars go by the entire time we were there.

    Enjoy the Metro for a simple menu with good options and nice quality food. Service was good and although the noise level always seems to be loud it wasn’t hard to have a conversation with my dinner companion.

    First visit in over ten years. Just as good as ever. Cocktails, appetizers, main course and desserts. Three of us in our 70’s having a wonderful lunch by the fireside on a rainy day. Very nice birthday meal.
