"I have dined here several times and the food and service are generally excellent. However, last Friday we had a few problems. The waitress was probably new, hopefully, and seemed a little lost. Drinks were slow in coming and the meal was extremely long in being served. We had no salt and pepper and adjacent diners offered theirs. She seemed to be very nervous I'm assuming she was new for the summer, hopefully she grows into the job or gets additional training, otherwise the evening would have been fine."

"There was nothing over the top or special about Metro Grille, it was just a nice restaurant. Our waiter was very nice and attentive. We went on a Tuesday evening and it was quite empty, which I prefer. Interesting note is that we were told that a new menu had just come out and that they didn't have some of the selections that were listed on the menu. Not a big deal but could've been annoying under different circumstances/tastes. I had to "settle" for the filet as opposed to the Kansas City Rib Eye. The filet was cooked properly and was delicious. The mashed potatoes might've been instant, I'm not sure. My date had sushi, which she enjoyed. They didn't have an extensive wine list, but we chose the Malbec, which was quite good."

"The sushi is always very good, as are the menu items and specials. The cavatelli with mushrooms was awesome, and there was a special spinach salad which was excellent as well."

"This restaurant seems as though it has changed hands several times over the past few years- all for the better. The sushi here is excellent. We tried the Wild flavor sushi roll for the first time. Spicy tuna wrapped in rice covered with a sliver of yellow tail or salmon was a melt in your mouth experience. We enjoyed the pork tenderloin with hot peppers and broiled salmon. Portions are great for sharing, which we did with our daughter. Negative comments- they just don't seem to put enough dressing on the salad- barely taste it. Dessert was large- chocolate cake with peanut butter but the peanut butter was rather thick and cold bringing back memories of Sara Lee cakes brought out of the freezer. That aside, a most enjoyable evening."

"Sushi seems to be a focus here...but I have had better sushi at a standard Japanese restaurant. other people in my party enjoyed their dinners. the service is always lacking. they are nice, but forget things and the waiters are generally more suited for an Applebees or TGI Friday's."

"Normally great and not the fault of the restaurant but there was a very loud and annoying party there that made the dining experience not as good as it usually is. In fact one table of four moved away from them because they couldn't handle the noise."

"Valentine's night dinner, so my assessment is with that in mind.
Seating was in an odd location, but again, Valentine's night crowd so they were trying to pack them in where they could.
Waiter was pleasant and friendly, but did not appear to be particulary experienced.
Food was okay. Lobster mac/cheese with short rib was great. Strip steak was just okay. Cooked appropriately.
I have been here before for cocktails. It is kind of a cool place, interesting NYC loung-like, with couch seating."
