| - Today my husband and I attended the soft opening of the new location of Metro Diner. This was also our first time visiting Metro Diner and have heard many wonderful things about it.
Being that this was the soft opening, you had to make reservations and could not just walk-in. Being that we had reservations, we were seated right away. A lot of the staff was in training and had a trainer accompanying them. That said, nothing felt like a new staff. Everything felt like the place had been open for a while. Our waitress Jamie, was very nice and did a great job, even though she was training.
I had the Pot Roast with veggies and mashed potatoes. I am not a big pot roast person but it was really good. It was very juicy and the carrots were excellent. My husband had the Shrimp and Grits and they were possibly the best we've ever had. They were made with a grit cake, versus the normal style that is more like a soup. This is something that actually made the dish easier to eat. The gravy, sausage, shrimp, and grit cake were cooked perfectly and were very flavorful. Plus it had bacon sprinkled on it, so he was in heaven.
All in all, I would say the soft opening was a great success and we cannot wait to try more dishes they have to offer.
