“Our favorite place to eat lunch and dinner.Food is always delicious and the service is excellent. Our waiter this time was Gifroy and he was top notch! It was Valentine's Day so he had a red blazer with a red tie. Aubrey the manager came by our table and we told her we liked Gifroy's jacket n tie and he was excellent. She said Gifroy wears a different jacket for each holiday! Thank you for making our Valentine lunch extra special.“

“Excellent food and the menu has a good variety to choose from.They also have a full liquor bar if you like to have a drink with your meal or a mimosa with your breakfast! They run the full gamut of breakfast,lunch,& dinner and i would recommend them all. I would price it at above average cost but you pay for what you get and it is all good so enjoy! The waitresses and jenny who waits and bartends is the absolute best! They actually now have extended there hours by now opening up at 7:00 on saturday and sundays currently! So thats good news for on the weekends! Metro consistently has great service and the employees are all so helpful and treat you like your there best friend! Still great food and you get it fast! Great breakfast place and the workers are Great always make you feel comfortable(Jenny,Jackie,Angie)! Theres ben some changes at the metro lately our bartendress jenny is no longer there. Who really liked but now weve got Angie bartending & waiting on us and she does a great job always smiling and happy! Our favorite bartendress/waitress Angie always takes care of us the best. My 98 yr old WW2 veteran father calls her angel instead of angie. She knows exactly what we all drink and is getting them ready for us as we walk in the door! The food is always top notch whether its breakfast,lunch or dinner! All the other workers there are also very helpful(jackie)and always have a smile on there face!RR“

The wait to be seated was extreme enough that after 10 minutes of being ignored the couple in front of us walked out, while we stayed the course for almost 10 more minutes. Can't say for sure, but it didn't seem to be a lack of staff at the front of the house. Decent atmosphere.“

“I must confess that I was eager to get to know this wonderful place! I had previously heard about it, I was very impressed by the warmth of the place, when you go up the stairs and open the door the feeling is cozy! We had a reservation and went straight to a private room! We receive immediate attention! The girl who helped us was great! The food is according to the local! Good starter Scallops along with a wonderful soup! The next dish was well presented and flavored according to the choice! The dessert was also appropriate! I was expecting an explosion of flavors…..but it was still really good! The bartender has a lot of experience and knows how to do his service very well! Thanks for that Macallan and my wife's cocktails!!! Without a doubt, it would be a restaurant that I would return to whenever I am invited, since it is only by invitation or by membership!“

“For our party of 6, this was the first time for only my bride and me. We started with drinks at the bar as we waited for a table. The atmosphere was relaxed and energized. Once seated and having perused the menu, I found multiple items I wanted to try and all at very reasonable prices! Our server, Sky, was a delight and took very good care of us. I ordered some wings for our table and I will admit I have had better but they were uniquely well seasoned and a great starter. For my meal, I opted for the Cajun Shrimp Pasta. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal that I cannot wait to return. It is not often I come across a meal such as this but this one had the right amount of texture, creaminess, seasonings, and perfectly flavorful grilled shrimp. Great job City Fire!“
