A friend and I had lunch at Metro Brasserie and though we liked the atmosphere of the place, the food left something to be desired. We ordered the Crab Maison for a starter except it never came because the server failed to input the order. Though he was friendly, he should have confirmed our order since he later admitted he was confused.
As for the food that did arrive, it was only okay. My girlfriend tried the Rainbow Trout, which was significantly overshadowed flavor-wise by the bed of lentils. The dish might improve if the lentils were served as a side rather than a bed and also if the trout was served sans skin.
I ordered the Quiche Lorraine. While I realize restaurants vary on their interpretation of Quiche Lorraine, I did not expect Metro Brasserie to vary so significantly. The menu clearly stated smoked bacon (as expected with a Lorraine) as part of the dish, yet we were hard pressed to find or taste any bacon at all. In general, the quiche was pleasantly light and fluffy but utterly failed in the expectation set forth by the menu and also the fact that it was called "Quiche Lorraine." C'est la vie. At least the side salad of greens and a light vinaigrette was nice.
In the end, the company (my friend) saved the meal but I am not sure I would visit Metro Brasserie again outside of a happy hour -- i.e. cocktails and appetizers -- that is if I can make the early limited hours of 3pm - 6pm. Otherwise, I will save the main course for another restaurant.
