We have been twice in the last 2 weeks ... which describes how much we love Metro 8. The porcini mushroom noodles are my favorite along with steak and tuna. The vegetables are always so fresh and perfectly prepared. The salads are crispy and dressed properly, and the wine list is huge and tasty. Perfect for dates, girls' nights or special occasions. Correctly priced for the top notch food you get. Better steaks than Angus Barn, better pasta than Maggianos, and much cheaper. The terrace is our favorite dining space, but the tables inside are super romantic. We will no doubt be back soon. Great service, fantastic atmosphere, top bar and wine list and local food to celebrate small businesses .....
We celebrated our anniversary with our two children, aged 8 and 10, at Metro 8. We opted to dine on the porch on a humid June evening, where the ceiling fans provided a pleasant breeze. Unlike most restaurants, Metro 8 was not overly air-conditioned, which was a big plus for us. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, but not intrusive. She even mentioned how refreshing it was to see our kids reading books and discussing math instead of being on iPads. The steaks that my husband and I ordered were delicious, as were the sides. Our girls enjoyed their grilled chicken as well. The cocktails were well-made and had just the right amount of strength. We highly recommend this restaurant.
Metro 8 is a great option at all times, but also more so during restaurant week. 3 course meal with a steak starter for $ 30! The 16 ounce churrasco steak is amazing and an incredible offering. My favorite dessert is the Dulce de Leche Crepes ... I like them as much as the steak - I understand they are probably a labor intensive endeavor for Restaurant Week but I was disappointed that they were removed from the Restaurant Week menu and I couldn't . t submit it for a charge. So, I probably won't go on weekly trips to the restaurant, but I'll keep coming back to the regular menu.
After checking online reviews, schedule a last minute business lunch. We were not disappointed. From the provolenta (I think that's the name) and stuffed prawn starters to the delicious fillet and the spread for the rolls, our meal was delicious. The owner was behind the bar and was very accommodating. I will definitely come back on my next visit to the area.

I had never been to this excellent place before! It offers the best restaurant week experience. If you can only choose one place to eat, this is it!!! I will definitely be returning!!! The waiters were great, the food was delicious!! Everything about it was fantastic!!!
The steak was amazing. One of the best I've ever had. Service was a little slow but was worth the wait. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to people. It was a pleasure
I guess I should have gave this review a few days agobut alas, it is here now! Will flesh it out with much more flavor (details) later.
Ideal for Father's Day as the portions are large and hearty. Airy high ceilings. Music of the type 'Frank Sinatra'. Very pleasant.

I am surprised that this one is not better ratedThe food is quite tasty and the hostesses are attentive and warm.
Great food in a very small and quaint setting, near Solano Ave and the Albany Landmark Theatre.
