    This was our first time at Metro 8. We found the seating a little tight, but not a problem. The owner welcomed us and took the lead in serving us. Although we got additional great service from Matt and Elliott. All four of us felt the meal was excellent and enjoyed everything we had. We would definitely go back. The owner also owns Dogwood Bar and Grill on Roxboro Rd which is closer to us, and we do frequent. Since we think the food there is excellent, we were not surprised at how good Metro 8 was. If there was to be a complaint, it would be we all thought the streak knives were dull and could use sharpening. But that was a minor thing. Thanks Metro 8 for a great evening.

    As always, Metro8 is spectacular. The best meat you can eat in North Carolina is the Churrasco. No other restaurant can beat it! The Argentinian flavor is real. Great service from our server. I reaffirm this is in my top 5 restaurants and will come back as always!

    Made a reservation for four at 7p. Parking lot was packed when we arrived, but the dining area was only sparsely filled. Little did we know that there was a private party of 20-30 in their back room. Wait staff appeared within a reasonable amount of time to take orders. Empanada and sausage appetizers were really good, and we were looking forward to the main course. Good thing we were catching up with an old friend, else we would have noted the passage of time. Still waiting for our food at 8:30, when I discreetly found our server to say/ask, “ok, I see you have a private party back there, but can you give me any sense as to when our food will be out? Our friend has an hour drive home.” To which there was no response but the lame explanation that they were serving a large party 🤦🏻‍♀️. Food finally came out around 9p. Lobster ravioli was only four pieces, which didn’t satiate the very hungry 17 year old boy. Churrasco steak that was requested to be medium rare was very undercooked, which I risked sending back to have it cooked slightly longer (thankfully it came out quickly). The food was very tasty, only compliments to the cook. But we were sooooo underwhelmed by the service and shocked that the restaurant didn’t even offer a complimentary drink or dessert to compensate for our incredibly long wait. With all the fabulous places to try in Durham, I wouldn’t risk this place again.

    We were seated immediately. Wait staff was very pleasant, and several people waited on us because our primary server was dealing with other issues. Orders were handled perfectly, food was cooked as ordered, and our dishes (apps and main courses) were tasty. I’ll go back.

    Incredible steakhouse! We had the delicious empanadas and chorizo as appetizers which were stellar. The group of us had all visited Argentina before and it really delivered that flavor and spirit. We will be back soon, the service was wonderful and we enjoyed every course.

    A friend and I had steaks at Metro 8. Perfect medium rare, along with Manhattans, appetizers, and dessert, all high quality. The servers were knowledgeable, courteous, and amiable, very helpful in guiding us through the menu. In addition to the steaks, the drinks, appetizers, and desserts were delicious.
