Metro 8 Steakhouse

WOW! Took my 15 year old son out for his birthday and it was a fantastic experience. The restaurant is gorgeous! The staff is 6 star friendly, helpful and kind. The food... The food is incredible! Metro 8 is a steakhouse with a more than steak menu. Everything we ordered was great! This is certainly our go to formal restaurant.

It's one of the best steaks I have ever eaten. Everything was delicious. The dessert was amazing. Highly recommend this place.

We had an amazing experience. We made reservations prior and were able to avoid any wait time. We had asked for a secluded table when we made reservations, and they were able to accommodate our request. We had a great table which happened to be next to their beautiful Christmas tree, which added a nice magical touch to our experience. We had the provoleta and chorizo for our appetizer and both were delicious. My husband had the cowboy ribeye and said it was the best he has had. So tender and juicy and seasoned perfectly. I had their popular Churrasco steak, and it was equally amazing. Their sides are a little basic but still very tasty. Overall, we had a great time and enjoyed the food. The service was great, and the whole staff works together to take care of you. It was refreshing to see. We would definitely make our way back.

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.

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!

I came here on a whim, and also to celebrate my birthday. the food was on point, I'm a big lover of Argentinian steak. the one I got was a great birthday gift: NY strip. I couldn't finish it it was that epic. Cooked to perfection! great find.

The food is delightful. Highly recommend the skirt steak and lobster raviolis. Also, the chocolate soufflé is just perfect.

Service is excellent. Our server, Dee, made our birthday celebration special. Wednesday night is half off wine night, so that is nice as well.

Exquisite dining experience. The service was completely on point, classy and professional. Perfect place to celebrate an event or enjoy a steak and some wine. The filet with au poivre sauce was amazing - cooked perfectly tender.

We came to Metro 8 for a late Valentine’s Day date last night and I can’t say enough good things about it. The acoustics in the restaurant make it so easy to have a quiet conversation and the wait staff were so speedy and polite. The owner was also out helping her staff serve and was very personable when she would come by our table, it really added to the experience. I haven’t mentioned the food yet, but it was delicious. The steak was tender and super flavorful and my husband was especially appreciative that this is the first restaurant we’ve been to for a special occasion that got his requested meat temperature just right. Make sure to save room for dessert!

My favorite place to dine in Durham. Its been years that we’ve been coming here yo enjoy the elegant setting and top tier churrasco steak. I’m from Miami and when I want real Argentinian steak and excellent Mal ec wine I come to Metro 8.

Friends took me for dinner. I had not been to the new location. Our server was amazing, she was attentive and made terrific recommendations. My steak was exquisitely prepared. The atmosphere was delightful and very pretty. Parking at the new location is much easier. Overall, if you're looking for a great experience in Durham, I highly recommend Metro 8.

Passing through, local friends took me here. They spoke highly of the restaurant and its owners. I ordered the churrasco steak and it was incredible, extremely tender and delicious. the wait staff was fantastic. they were very attentive and couldn't have been better.
The owners of this restaurant are doing something special 10/10.

Such an amazing food experience. Customer service was outstanding. Got to meet the owners/chefs wife and she treated us like VIPs. Our server had a British accent that brought the level of services up a notch. I wish I lived closer because I would definitely be back. Also the pesto whipped butter with hot rolls is to die for.

We came for an anniversary dinner and we were blown away! The food was excellent the servers were attentive and went the extra mile. Steaks melted in your mouth. Be sure to make a reservation as it fills up quickly for dinner hour

This should be 5 stars!!! Incredible service, perfectly cook and seasoned food and a wonderful atmosphere! From the margaritas, to the steaks and tirimisu we will absolutely be back! Can't say enough great things about this restaurant! 🤩

By far the best steak house around. I’ve tried all of the steaks here and haven’t found any cut I don’t like. The proveleta appetizer is my favorite. The lobster ravioli is also delicious. My favorite sides are the spinach Alfredo and the broccolini however I have grabbed a few French fries from my companions plate and love those too.
Do order the chocolate soufflé when you order dinner and save a couple of sips of an Argentine Malbec.
Also Dulce de leche crepes are delicious.

Outstanding dinner location. Family owned and run, the owners are very involved and ensure this restaurant runs smoothly with high-quality food and service. A cozy atmosphere perfect for groups or date nights, and a menu with something amazing for everyone. Tables and bar service are both available. Has an amazing Pittsburgh-style steak which can be hard to find so give it a try.

Had a really good provaleta appetizer and steak here. Steak was expertly cooked, service was very good (wait staff platoons so you don't wait much). Souffle desert was awesome.

This is a steak restaurant. Don't go here if you don't want steak. I note one of the bad reviews below is someone who ordered fish and pasta. Who does this? Ignore reviews written by dumb people....

The filet mignon was so tender and juicy. It melted in your mouth. The pork chops were the Best I've had in a long time. Great value, great service. A+

Amazing service and food. Every bite was packed with flavor. Cassie recommended the Fettuccini Porcini and we got the Churrasco with a side of Sautéed Broccolini for our main. The Empanadas for starters and the house Chocolate Soufflé. Our waitress, Michelle along with the rest of the staff was such a delight. I cannot wait to be back already!
