| - We went last night to check out the Yelp Eats menu, and as Camille mentioned, nearly everything is available. There are about 8 options for all three courses.
I was tempted to get the escargot, as they changed the preparation from the last time we were there, but our waiter, Trevor, suggested I go with the cucumber soup as that was my other choice. The cucumber soup was cold, creamy and delicious with a substantial amount of crab meat in it along with caviar. It was refreshing, and I'd definitely re-order. For the second course, I had the steak frites and husband ordered the croque madame. The steak was well cooked, juicy and not a tad overdone. We shared the large portion of frites, and husband definitely enjoyed the croque which was served on thick brioche.
For dessert, Trevor suggested the banana option, but since I'm not a big fan, we told him we were thinking about beignets or the blueberry galette. His suggestion - the blueberry galette is seasonal and won't be around for too long, try it. We were very glad we took his advice. My first comment to my husband was, "That looks nothing like a galette." It didn't matter, the pastry and blueberries were still warm, topped by vanilla truffle ice cream and drizzled with lavender honey. I don't think we put our forks down until it was gone. I give that dessert 5 stars.
The only odd thing about our meal was the pickled okra in the bloody marys. We've had marys there before and really liked them. The okra just started to ooze a gelatinous substance after biting off the bottom. I have to say it was a little off-putting. I don't know if we just haven't had enough okra in our lives, but my husband only drank half of his. The jokes we started making probably didn't help. Of course, I still finished mine.
If you haven't tried Metro yet, this is definitely the week to do it!
