...seasonal section. November patrons have the option of ordering a November plater pour deux with chestnut souffle, amuse bouche, a seasonal sorbet and assorted chocolates...kinda beats a pumpkin frappe in my book any day. When I wasn’t chatting it up with Jason about this dish or that soup, I was swaying to the smooth jazz standards that kept the ambience hovering somewhere between an uber-intellectual, beatnik coffeehouse and “a really nice diner,” and my Jersey-born date chose to qualify...
...wine list alone made me feel like I had stepped into a European restaurant without even booking a flight. I had the Louis Latour Grand Ardeche with my Chicken Roti—a roasted chicken dish with laurel, garlic and butery goodness. The mixed green salad, assorted with a surprisingly sweet mixture of pickled grapes and butter-doused raisins, was a perfect compliment. In keeping with his Jersey roots my date had beef and fries, though at Metro the dish is called Steak Fritte. We finished the meal off with a pear tarte topped with caramel walnut ice cream...
...bulk of each ticket’s cost ($49) evidently doesn’t go towards food, the meal isn’t bad. French bread and an iceberg lettuce salad accompany entrees including lasagna, baked ziti and pastas with pesto cream, marinara and Italian sausage sauces.

There's a dish on every cabin, every ranch house. And since the service that many other people and I use features network affiliates from New York City but not a single station from the West, the bad news from Manhattan was local news. Electronics trumped geography. To feel separate from the horror was impossible, and there were times...
Drinks aside, the tiny dishes of salsa, spice and unrecognizable smoosh were a welcome addition to the homemade tortilla chips—especially after everyone snarfed down the guacamole. Probably the best entrée of the night was shared at the end of the table and consisted of a big piece of meat. Carne Asada, a typical dish all over Latin America, is transformed into a culinary wonder in Inman Square. A thin, flat piece of beef somehow becomes infused with spices and tender love, only to be consumed at a great rate along with the surrounding black beans...
