The food was under seasoned and just okay. Just okay is not really what I’m expecting at a steakhouse, so we were pretty disappointed with our dinner. On a positive note, the staff was super attentive and friendly.

Went for early dinner so the place was not crowded yet which we loved. Service was great and food was just as good. Prices are on par for the food quality that you get. Their churrasco steak which they are known for is quite good if you like that type of steak. Will definitely recommend for steak lovers.

One of my fave restaurants in Durham and we always go when in town! Waiters are attentive and will accommodate food preferences and allergies. Variety of dishes absolutely everything is delicious. We love their caprese salad and pasta dishes, the abundant choices of sides. The mushroom soup is the best and finish it all off with a crepe. Best restaurant in Durham hands down.

This restaurant is basically a little above average than any steak house or decent restaurant in Durham. The fillet was good but not great. The pan seared salmon was okay but not good. The service was fine and key lime pie and chocolate souffle was above average. We were there on a Saturday evening and the place was maybe half full....

Excellent steak house just outside of Downtown Durham. Menu has Brazilian vibes. Filet Au Poivre was cooked to perfection. Tiramisu was a huge portion and was delicious but the chocolate lava cake was amazing.

Dee guided us with great suggestions on the wine and dinner menu. Super prompt with service and made us and our guest feel special. We started with a couple drinks, Cesar and house salad. Cesar salad was huge, good for 2. Hanger steak, filet mignon and homemade fettuccine for dinner - everything was good and gone. Chocolate torte and souffle for dinner with port and b52 to bow on a beautiful dinner. We'll definitely be back. Dee, Karissa, and the staff made our evening memorable.

I had a few people recommended Metro 8 but never had the chance to make it here until last week when I took some colleagues here for a business dinner. The service and food were both excellent. The steaks were cooked perfectly and fantastic flavor. Three dsserts were shared between the 6 of us and it was just the right amount with how rich they were. The only more neutral observation was that my 32oz ribeye was slightly smaller than I expected yet the flavor made up for it. Would definitely come here again. Oh, the rolls and the jalapeño cilantro cream cheese that came out before appetizers was the best rolls I've ever had in a restaurant!

All of the food was top tier. The Alfredo spinach is just spinach and Alfredo so it's a bit different but not bad. The bread and herbed butter were 4/5. Proteins were well seasoned and cooked right. Lamb chops 5/5 Skirt steak 5/5. Both came with some red herbed up vinegarette which was underwhelming. Both meats could use specific specialized sauces for the price. But sauceless the skirt steak was great tender and juicy and the lamb chops were S teir a must try item. The French fries were perfectly crispy and fluffy 5/5. The ranch is pretty much store bought. On a whole this place would be heavenly if the sauce game was better. The service was great but the atmosphere feels slightly dull but the food and people make up for it.
