The food was under seasoned and just okay. Just okay is not really what I’m expecting at a steakhouse, so we were pretty disappointed with our dinner. On a positive note, the staff was super attentive and friendly.

Went for early dinner so the place was not crowded yet which we loved. Service was great and food was just as good. Prices are on par for the food quality that you get. Their churrasco steak which they are known for is quite good if you like that type of steak. Will definitely recommend for steak lovers.

One of my fave restaurants in Durham and we always go when in town! Waiters are attentive and will accommodate food preferences and allergies. Variety of dishes absolutely everything is delicious. We love their caprese salad and pasta dishes, the abundant choices of sides. The mushroom soup is the best and finish it all off with a crepe. Best restaurant in Durham hands down.

This restaurant is basically a little above average than any steak house or decent restaurant in Durham. The fillet was good but not great. The pan seared salmon was okay but not good. The service was fine and key lime pie and chocolate souffle was above average. We were there on a Saturday evening and the place was maybe half full....

Excellent steak house just outside of Downtown Durham. Menu has Brazilian vibes. Filet Au Poivre was cooked to perfection. Tiramisu was a huge portion and was delicious but the chocolate lava cake was amazing.

Dee guided us with great suggestions on the wine and dinner menu. Super prompt with service and made us and our guest feel special. We started with a couple drinks, Cesar and house salad. Cesar salad was huge, good for 2. Hanger steak, filet mignon and homemade fettuccine for dinner - everything was good and gone. Chocolate torte and souffle for dinner with port and b52 to bow on a beautiful dinner. We'll definitely be back. Dee, Karissa, and the staff made our evening memorable.

All of the food was top tier. The Alfredo spinach is just spinach and Alfredo so it's a bit different but not bad. The bread and herbed butter were 4/5. Proteins were well seasoned and cooked right. Lamb chops 5/5 Skirt steak 5/5. Both came with some red herbed up vinegarette which was underwhelming. Both meats could use specific specialized sauces for the price. But sauceless the skirt steak was great tender and juicy and the lamb chops were S teir a must try item. The French fries were perfectly crispy and fluffy 5/5. The ranch is pretty much store bought. On a whole this place would be heavenly if the sauce game was better. The service was great but the atmosphere feels slightly dull but the food and people make up for it.

WOW! Took my 15 year old son out for his birthday and it was a fantastic experience. The restaurant is gorgeous! The staff is 6 star friendly, helpful and kind. The food... The food is incredible! Metro 8 is a steakhouse with a more than steak menu. Everything we ordered was great! This is certainly our go to formal restaurant.

Friends took me for dinner. I had not been to the new location. Our server was amazing, she was attentive and made terrific recommendations. My steak was exquisitely prepared. The atmosphere was delightful and very pretty. Parking at the new location is much easier. Overall, if you're looking for a great experience in Durham, I highly recommend Metro 8.

We had an amazing experience. We made reservations prior and were able to avoid any wait time. We had asked for a secluded table when we made reservations, and they were able to accommodate our request. We had a great table which happened to be next to their beautiful Christmas tree, which added a nice magical touch to our experience. We had the provoleta and chorizo for our appetizer and both were delicious. My husband had the cowboy ribeye and said it was the best he has had. So tender and juicy and seasoned perfectly. I had their popular Churrasco steak, and it was equally amazing. Their sides are a little basic but still very tasty. Overall, we had a great time and enjoyed the food. The service was great, and the whole staff works together to take care of you. It was refreshing to see. We would definitely make our way back.

Outstanding dinner location. Family owned and run, the owners are very involved and ensure this restaurant runs smoothly with high-quality food and service. A cozy atmosphere perfect for groups or date nights, and a menu with something amazing for everyone. Tables and bar service are both available. Has an amazing Pittsburgh-style steak which can be hard to find so give it a try.
