We heard about Metro 8 when it opened earlier this year but never had a chance to visit. This week we finally made there for my birthday, 5 of us in total. I was hoping for a respectable steakhouse with decent prices and our wishes came true. Elsewhere in the Triangle you are subject to either high-priced, stuffy restaurants or everyday joints a-la Outback Steakhouse. I think Metro 8 has the right formula - reasonable pricing and great food and service.\r
All five of us had starters and various steaks, plus two excellent bottles of Napa Cabernet. The total bill came out to $213. Need I say more?\r
PS check out the Empanadas - they're great !!!
