| - I am going to keep this review pretty short just because it has been a few months since I have been there.
First off, the reason why the boyfriend and I ventured out of our typical dining price range (for lunch at least), is because we re total burger fans. When the 2009 Best Of's came out we just had to try what the New Times thought the best burger in town was.
We trotted into the Metro Brasserie around noon to find late-morning brunchers equipped with French omlettes,and steamed muscles and fries. As appetizing as those were, we were dead set on their burger.
Simply put, their Metro Burger is fantastic. Get it medium-rare to medium well and with everything on it (it comes on a deep golden brioche bun, topped with creamy sauce gribiche, sweet smoked Vidalia onions, tangy cured tomato, and Bibb lettuce.) It also comes with a mountain of fresh cut fries on the side. Definitely worth the money ($13-15) and definitely worth the trip.
My mistake of the day was getting a Peach Bellini (sparkling white wine with peach juice for $8). It just didn't hit the spot, and it did not compliment the meal at all. If you're a Bloody Mary fan, go for it. Everything is prepared fresh and it comes to you looking more like a crazy tomato smoothie than a cocktail.
The dinner menu looked great, will try that sometime.
