What People Are Saying About MetroCafe & Wine Bar

The Scene – With the selection and swank of a trendy lounge, but the mellow attitude and low prices of a neighborhood bar, this spot is ideal for winding down after work with friends or for a not-too-pricey date. Delicate white lamps hang over a bar backed by dozens of wine taps. Window-side cocktail tables give way to red walls, dark wooden chairs and candlelight in the spacious dining room, where it's quiet enough for quality conversation. – – The Draw – Wine might be what gets you in the door, but the eclectic menu and attentive service make it easy to linger.

terrible food, great wait staff
by sweetpea021
The first time I was at MetroCafe was about 2 years ago and the food was great! I have been back twice this year and I will never go back. The first time I figured it was just and off night but I was there last night and again...TERRIBLE FOOD! I had the chicken entree and it was disgusting. I ended up taking it home and giving it to my dogs. My friend had the Kobe Burger and it tasted funny. He took two bites and couldn't finish it. We also had the chicken dumplings and the guacomole - both were barely edible. The only thing going for this place now is the wait staff. They are all very friendly and knowledgable.
- Pros: Food
- Cons: Wait Staff

Great place for comfortable dinner with diverse selections
by lee337w
Great menu and reasonable prices. The drink flight place-mats on the table really distract from the atmosphere and almost seem like they belong at a diner. The staff is friendly and courteous. Food was well prepared and tasty.
- Pros: Nice wine selection and diverse food selection
- Cons: Atmosphere is "almost upscale" could use some improvements

great ambience,great to have dinner with friends
by gigi1
I invited 11 friends.The service and food was excellent.The ambience was nice.I was able to have a nice conversation with friends not needing to shout above noise or music. It was a week night so we were able to linger as long as we wanted. Service was quick. We split a few bottles of wine among us. The wine was good. We were upstairs the tables were small so it was great fora large group of people. I met the owner through my friendand he let us have the 10 percent discount even if it was a party larger than 6. Great. I would recommend it and would come back here again.
- Pros: great ambience, wine was great, nice owners
- Cons: none!
