Instead of sitting inside, we chose to dine on the porch on a humid June evening. The ceiling fans provided a pleasant breeze, unlike most restaurants that are overly air-conditioned. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, but not intrusive. She appreciated seeing our children reading books and discussing math instead of using iPads. The steaks my husband and I ordered were cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. Our girls enjoyed their grilled chicken as well. The cocktails were well-made and had just the right amount of strength. Overall, we highly recommend Metro 8 for a family dinner.

It's hard to find places where you can have a proper chat at the table, and this place definitely hit the mark. We drove down from the north and, upon arrival, we noticed several acquaintances from the suburbs were there too. The food was delightful, and we will certainly be returning for dinner again.
