    Meatloaf, mashed potatoes and green beans.
    Dawn M.

    I went around 3 this afternoon after I got my nails done on 210. Staff was very nice and told me to sit anywhere unlike the older one on Baymeadows which is very busy. I was feeling like having meatloaf since it is difficult to cook at home with my BIL who can only have a very terribly restricted diet. He is currently on a water fast. The meatloaf was two large slices and more than I could eat. I couldn't take it home so I just buried it in dinner napkins. I did try the strawberry dessert after searching for pie since other than my BIL everyone else is on a Keto diet. It was served warm and covered with strawberries and sprinkles. I couldn't eat all of that either so it must be sized to share.

    Metro does not disappoint. We stopped in towards the end of the lunch hour. We were told about a 15 minute wait but it was only about 10 minutes before we were seated. Coffee was a must on this cold day. We placed our orders after reviewing and deciding between many great options. I got the meatloaf and my wife got the ruben. Both were great. Great food and good service.

    Great new location and consistent local charm. Welcome to the neighborhood, Metro! The folks here are enthusiastic and ready to please. Can't go wrong with standard diner fare. Food was good and service even better. :)

    Breakfast with rolled cinnamon pecan pancakes
    Robert M.

    Today was day one at this new diner to the public. They certainly had a lot of people there with big smiles on their face. I really enjoyed my breakfast, which was a couple eggs with sausage, grits, and the rolled cinnamon pecan pancakes, which were really good. I was told Metro diner was a great place to eat but a little pricey. I'm a person that hits all the breakfast places in the area and I found the prices to be just fine. 3.59 for the coffee maybe was a little much but then again you could drink as much coffee as you want so then it becomes a great bargain. They went from two pieces of toast to one, if you got a carb side item like the pancakes (which were great) . The problem I have with that is, I had two eggs and I wanted two pieces of toast. I enjoyed my visit, my waitress Bianca, who is from Connecticut like myself, had a great conversation of what we missed there and how much we love it here in Saint Augustine. I will definitely be coming here again. The experience overall, including price was great. I enjoyed the cinnamon/pecan pancakes. But to be fair, I would eat rusted bolts if they were dipped in cinnamon and pecan. On my second visit I tried their special of corn beef hash which was good also and not greasing, or salty alike many others. Another thing I like is , easy in easy out in such a busy area.

    A cafeteria in a hospital. We aren't expecting greatness here, right? I have only eaten breakfast…read morehere, but I'm actually a fan. So much so, that honestly, if I lived on this part of town, I'd come here often to eat breakfast. Why? Well, it's really, really cheap and it's really good. Breakfast is served al a carte style and you get as much or as little as you like. You serve yourself and then take your food to the cashier to pay (hospital employees get a discount). For around $4, I can get two large scoops of scrambled eggs, a couple of links of sausage, a biscuit w/ gravy, and a small bowl of fruit. You can't even get a combo meal that cheap at a fast food joint. There are other hot items to choose from like breakfast potatoes and bacon. They also have cereals, oatmeal, etc. They have fountain drinks and bottles of both Coke and Pepsi products. If I ever happen to be in the hospital during lunch or dinner, I'll have to give it a try. i'll update if and when I do.

    Overpriced Small Portions!!…read more I recently ate at this café 2 days in a row. Each time I went back I was deeply dissatisfied with the quality/quantity of food. I went down for a lunch meal deal, which was chicken, green beans with macaroni and cheese. They said I can only have one entrée and two sides. I disagreed that if I'm paying for the meal why not let me have a additional entrée for an up-charge? They said no you can only have one entrée, but if I'm willing to pay more for an entrée why are you telling me NO? My lunch cost me $13, too expensive for what you get at this place. Save a few buck and travel outside the hospital for a place that gives you more of what you ask for. They give you more food at the military galley/cafeteria on NAS Jax then this place does, Which really says a lot about this place is a whole. **Overall, low quantity overprices meals it was enough for me during my short Hospital stay of three days.

    Another amazing meal at Rustica!! Once again, Chef Jean-Marie & staff did not disappoint. We…read moresampled some incredible appetizers like Argentinian shrimp & Ahi Tuna nigiri, HOMEMADE brioche toast with brown buttered Shitake mushrooms, Crab cakes & mussels steamed in a Vietnamese curry (sublime!). For main courses we opted for the braised beef cheeks & the Berkshire pork chop. Both wonderful, served with an array of farm fresh vegetables. Not sure what more you need except a nice wine & some fabulous house-made desserts: Raspberry Yuzu cheesecake & Molten Lava cake. WOW!!!

    We had been wanting to check out Rustica since we walked by them a few months ago and we decided to…read morefinally come check them out for our anniversary. We made an early reservation since we saw they do Happy Hour 4PM to 5:00PM everyday so we had to get in on that. We walked and and were seated at our table. They made sure to let us know you can sit anywhere during Happy Hour and still get the specials where many restaurants limit it to a bar area. Rustica does a great job of Happy Hour. They have appetizers, cocktails, beer, Sake, wine, and even main course happy hour entrees too. I started off with a cocktail going for the Liliko Martini which I really enjoyed. I have really been into my Passion Fruit drinks lately. We of course had to get some of the Happy Hour appetizers too and we might have gone a little overboard but for sure worth it. We got: The Naan Bread Yellow Beet Salad Crispy Tofu Roasted Pork Belly Bao Crispy Pork and Shrimp Lumpia Japanese Style Fried Chicken These were a great way to start off dinner and not one of them were $8 or less. If I had to pick favorites the best was for sure the Roasted Pork Belly Bao. I think it might have been the best Pork Belly Bao I had ever had. I was a large thick piece of Pork Belly but it just melted you your mouth and had so much flavor. We also very much enjoyed the Crispy Pork and Shrimp Lumpia which were much bigger then expected. The Japanese Style Fried Chicken was great too and the BBQ Ranch took it to the next level. For my entree I went with the Basil Crusted Roasted Monkfish which came with Vietnamese Yellow Curry, Crispy Shrimp and veggies. The Monkfish was cooked perfectly. I had a great sear on it too which gave it a bit of a crunch. I know Monkfish can sometimes be intimidated people because it was pretty ugly looking but let me tell you if it's prepared like this you're going to love it. Some of the best fish I have had. The Vietnamese Yellow Curry paired very well with it too. Wasn't too heavy and didn't over power the fish but just added an extra boost of flavor. I know what you're thinking who could was possibly be hungry for dessert but it sounded good so we ordered the Thai Milk Tea Creme Brulee and the Yuzu Cheesecake. Both were light enough that we could still really enjoy them after all we had eaten. We really like that the Thai Milk Tea Creme Brulee also had bubble boba in it which we didn't expect. We had an amazing meal and for sure be coming back sooner rather then later.
