When metro first opened, I absolutely adored it. However, since then, it seems there has been a downhill slide, which is a combination of poor service and quality of the food. For the price, I have found much better alternatives at a better value. I rarely frequent the restaurant anymore, except for Brunch. Brunch has always been fabulous, with a... More

Two were returned, the third person ate their side dishes and left the cold steak on their plate. Others at the table had good... More

Metro has always been a destination for us. Would travel 2 hours just to have the wonderful experience of dining there. My last visit, 02/20/13 was very disappointing. My husband and our three children were dining there. After enjoying a typical meal, the waitress asked if we wanted separate checks? Really? May inter-racial couples are are and oddity here. The...

The food at metro was surprisingly good. My wife and i had eaten three hours before our reservation so we weren't that excited about eating. Until the food arrived. We ate and ate and ate. The drinks rivaled the food in taste and presentation. Metro was our favorite dinner while in Roanoke

it is very rare that I like absolutely everything about a restaurant, but in this case i did. Started with some fantastic cocktails recommended by the bartender, then on to the creative and delicious food. The ambiance was perfect and the service couldn't have been better. Will definitely be going back :-)

There are not many choices in Roanoke for Sunday brunch, especially if you don't fancy the hotel buffet setting, but this is a quite acceptable one. Very chic decor and open at 11. The rather standard fare menu includes plenty vegetarian choices. We had a good wild mushroom omelet, but the shrimp, sausage and grits offering was less successful. Nice... More

We visit this restaurant every time we are in Roanoke. Situated on Campbell Avenue, there is convenient street parking as well as a public garage across the street. The ambience is very pleasant. There is a nice bar with a movie screen overhead, where old movies are projected (without sound), and the dining area is well laid out. Our server... More

This is one of my favorite restaurants in downtown Roanoke. They have a great lunch bento box and usually have an interesting daily special. The bartenders know what they are doing and the service is quite good. It's almost hard to believe a place of this sophistication has thrived in Roanoke, but it does well and is a good choice...

Great variety on the menu, definitely try the cheese and pimento fritters!! Sooooo good! Liked the variety of sushi selections as well. Decor is eclectic and modern, presentation is spot on, and the staff treats you like royalty. Tanner was our waiter, he was great! Liked the cocktail selection, definitely some unique offerings. Wish there were more wines offered by... More

We enjoyed a wonderful dinner on Friday evening. The decor was pleasing, the menu was varied and there was not any noise carried over from the bar. The 4 of us were pleasantly satisfied with our entrees and the cute little desserts. The service was excellent- timely, but not intruding on our conversation. We'd recommend it.
