   You can’t just say “beef cheek” and charge $38. Sorry guys, that’s not how that works. I expected at LEAST double the portion that I got (for the most expensive item on the menu 🙄). And for a GOULASH, no less! My date’s schnitzel portion was oversized, but that’s nothing to really complain about. Service was great! But whoever’s running the kitchen has their head wayyy up their @$$. I’m coming from LA, where most lunches for 2 ppl are $50+, and this felt like just as much of a ripoff 🤷‍♂️

   Given the circumstances, we had a lovely evening (the circumstances being that the place was absolutely overwhelmed!) We arrived a few minutes before our reservation and there wasn't even any place to stand indoors to wait. It would have been nice if staff could have unlocked some chairs chained to the outdoor tables so that we could have sat down while waiting, but in all fairness, I don't think they even had a chance to breathe. When we were finally seated, service was quick, very friendly and absolutely accurate. Splitting the grilled radicchio was the perfect starter before our chicken schnitzels. The chicken was so moist and the coating perfectly crisp. I only wish there had been a bit more cheesey goodness on top, but my arteries would disagree. Tiny potatoes cooked just right rounded out the dish. Three staff members with whom we interacted were professional and gracious. I wish this was my neighborhood joint but will have to settle for the occasional visit.

    We loved Metzger's when it opened, but stopped going because the chairs were SO uncomfortable. We actually brought our own cushions a few times. I finally saw some pictures that showed new chairs! So we returned, which was great. The new chairs are a gigantic improvement. Wish we'd known sooner. Our dinner was excellent. It was so nice to be able to choose a great German red wine for once. My husband really enjoyed his chicken schnitzel, although we'd love a veal option for that dish. I felt adventurous and chose a very strange sounding dish with large mushrooms (forgot their name), spaetzel, kale, and a soft boiled egg. Weird, right? But it was delicious! We'll be back -- never doubted the food quality, just the chairs.

    I visited Metzger on a whim and had one of the best dining experiences of my life. Ambience was warm and cozy. Service was perfect. Most of all, the kitchen knows exactly what they’re doing. The food was flavorful, seasonal, visually stunning, perfectly seasoned down to the last flake of salt. What a treat!

    Metzger was terrific. We had a vegan diner with us and they made several delicious accommodations for him. Unlike many places that act as if a vegan is from outer space, this butchery was extremely welcoming and happy to demonstrate its creativity. Our only criticism was that all dishes were heavily salted. Still good but could use a little less sodium.

    This is a really great spot in Church Hill. We had made a reservation, and got a great window seat. I got a German Fest Beer which was delicious. We had a charcuterie plate that was excellent. My wife had the radicchio salad and I got Chicken Schnitzel. Both were outstanding. We also had a delicious chocolate pear crisp. Service was friendly and efficient. Prices were moderate. We would return.

    Metzger's consistently provides beautifully seasoned, creative dishes. The desserts are BRILLIANT!!!! No matter how unlikely the combination of flavors(FUNNEL cakes? !!Grape sorbet? With nuts, honey and mint???!!!) the result is light and delicate. The waitstaff is warm, prompt, friendly, and knowledgeable. I can't recommend Metzger's enough.

    Brunch … who doesn’t love brunch? So of course our attitude was especially high just walking in. Now a moment of honesty - we live a block away and find ourselves at Metzger’s regularly so I knew what to expect. But joining us were my daughter and her husband and my youngest son. For my son the schnitzel and eggs was the best meal he had with us all summer. I ordered the same and while I intended to bring home half of it, I found myself nearly licking the plate (it was enough for 2 people). Everything ordered was equally good (the peach galette - superb and the tomato and peach with dukes mayo dish was even more surprising (in a good way). As always - well done Metzger! We will be back.

    Metzger Bar and ButcheryResponded on August 23, 2022Thanks for all the kind words and great review. Hope you and your family will join us again soon!

    We had a wonderful tomato salad and the excellent duck and strip steak. My husband raved the best strip he ever had. Also enjoyed the house wine and the service was excellent too. Limited menu but that is what makes each dish special!
