Metro 8 is a great dining place. I have been eating here since the mid ninety's. Last night was no different. We only had a couple of hiccups. The broccolini for two of my friend was cold and had to be reheated.

Went to Metro 8 for the first time on Valentine Day. Upon making our online reservation, it was noted there will be a Valentine Day menu consisting of 3 courses for $75 pp, however the menu was not available. We arrived at Metro to find the 3 course menu (appetizer, entree, dessert) was essentially a subset of their regular menu, which the establishment used Valentine Day as a way to price gauge their customers. Our bill arrived and each of the 3 courses showed a $25 charge for a total of $75. I had the empanadas ($9 on their standard menu), churrassco ($35 on their standard menu, and tiramisu ($9 on their standard menu), these items total $53 on any other night, but Metro 8 charged $75 for these standard menu items on Valentines. Shame on Metro 8.
