"We have visited Metro 8 twice in the last 2 weeks because we love it so much. My favorite dishes are the porcini mushrooms, steak, and tuna. The vegetables are always fresh and cooked perfectly, and the salads are crisp and well-dressed. The wine list is extensive and delicious. This restaurant is perfect for appointments, girls' nights, or special occasions. The prices are reasonable for the high-quality food you receive. The steaks are better than Angus Barn, the pasta is better than Maggianos, and the prices are much more affordable. Our favorite dining area is the terrace, but the inside tables are also very romantic. We will definitely be returning soon. The service is great, the atmosphere is fantastic, the bar and wine selection are top-notch, and the food is perfect for celebrating small business victories. Parking is easier than downtown Durham, and we love the vibe of 9th Street. The desserts are amazing, and the coffee is delicious."
