Best Kept Secret in Durham – WONDERFUL. I had no idea that this place was so wonderful. Great Service!! Great food. My husband and I just loved it. Ihad the pork chop with the sweet potatoe fries and he had the peppercorn filet with a gigantic loaded baked potatoe. It's a Steak house with South American infuences. The empanades were fantastic. Everything was fresh and tasty. I had wine from Argetina and he had a beer from Argentina. I can't wait to tell all my friends about this place. Next time I am going to try the ribeye ... read more

Absolutely wonderful. – I was a little skeptical seeing this place amongst all of the establishments aimed at students, but this place is great. My wife and I had a wonderful dinner here. We tried the provoleta appetizer which is similar to an Italian Insalata Caprese. She had the churasco-an Argentinian flavored skirt steak, which I ate most of... I had the tuna which was cooked the perfect medium rare, and came with wonderful sides of buttery broccollini and a baby green salad with a nice sweet vinegrette. We happened to c... read more

Great food, friendly folks, open late. Bottles of wine 1/2 price on Wednesdays. – We love this place! The interior is comfortable and classy. The owners never fail to greet diners and are gaining a loyal following for this reason. The wait staff is usally top-rate and it is rare to have to wait for a table. But I am saving the best for last, the food is incredible! I have been back several times (and plan to continue going) and absolutely love everything I have tried. The steaks are cooked to perfection, the tuna is the best... read more

Great Staff - Awesome Food! – I can't say enough good things about Metro 8. I am a consultant and am constantly on the road eating at restaurants all over the country. I'm in Durham for 6 months and I have been at Metro 8 every Tuesday night. The staff is outstanding and the food, in fact, the entire menu is well thought out - Incredible!

Great food, drinks and service – My boyfriend and I went Metro 8 for dinner and we loved everything! From the awesome skirt steak that was just enough, to the chocolate souffle for dessert. Cassie one of the owners greeted us and was very friendly, which made our experience even better. We sat outside which made for a lovely evening. I would highly recommend Metro 8 to any of my friends or co-workers.

We Ate at Metro 8 - WOW! – Upon consideration of a move to the Durham area, I wanted to make certain that there were quality restaurants for entertaining business clients and personal friends. I am moving from Coral Gables, a world-renowned mecca for fine dining. So as I set out on my restaurant search, I was prepared to be disappointed, but was hopeful. Well, what a delightful surprise - Metro 8! The service was superb and was only outdone by the quality and presentation of the food. Our server made suggestions, answered an... read more

AMAZING!!! – We recently visited friends in NC who took us to this fabulous gem of a restaurant near the Duke U. campus. The 4 of us travel quite a bit and dine at restaurants all over the country more often than at home, and we unanimously agreed that this was among the best meals any of us could recall. The steaks, desserts and cocktails at Metro 8 were simply out of this world! We had the hefty cowboy ribeye, churrasco, tuna steak and the T-bone--all were tender, juicy and cooked to absolute perfection. For dessert we tri... read more

great customer service – My boyrfriend and I went to Metro 8 based on a previous Citysearch review. It is a very calm, quaint restaurant in the middle of 9th St in Durham. We both had different steaks which were cooked very well, but not as seasoned as I tend to like. However, the service and the desserts were absolutely superb! The chocolate souffle should be illegal!!! It takes a few extra minutes for them to make, but it is well worth the wait. The waiter was very nice, attentive, and conversational.
