Perfect Hummus

Perfect hummus with warm pita....yum. The Butter Chicken was perfectly seasoned and piping hot with fragrant jasmine rice. I ordered the naan- and glad I did...licking the bowl would have been embarrassing, but I didn't want to miss a single drop of the sublime butter sauce! Bonus: all white meat on the chicken. Juana, our server was friendly and knowledgeable-she really went out of her way to make sure we had a great meal. Also, spot on with her recommendation of the baklava. The subtle decor gave off a chic, Mykonos vibe. Will def be back!

Metropolis kabob meal

This place deserves so much more recognition. The food, the staff, the environment, the music, it was everything. My waitress, Alison, and bartender, Sam, were beyond welcoming and kind. I didn't want for anything because Alison was so attentive. Everything tasted amazing, not overcooked or overly oily and the way everything was seasoned was perfection. I wish I lived closer because I would absolutely become a regular of theirs.

I visited the new Metropolis Café in Greensboro during their soft opening on 10/12. Because this was a new restaurant. Unfortunately, they do not have a liquor license the day I was there. But I will not disqualify on that of course because I understand those take time to get signed off on by the state. In terms of the food, it was really really good! My Gyro tasted absolutely good, especially with the chips that came with it. In terms of the service. I would say it took a little long to get served. So I think some improvement on table service and servers would be good. Otherwise, I would say this is a very nice casual place to go to. And I wish them nothing but the best going forward!

Greek potatoes

We had takeout and everything was flavorful and delicious! We ordered the kabobs, potatoes, broccoli and chicken mamos (which had a great sauce on the side). Everything was great. We I'll definitely go back soon.

In a spur of the moment NYE trip to the ever bustling Lake Oconee area, my partner in crime…read morerecommended this little spot tucked away in a business development. Expecting expensive food with small portions due to the crowd of wine moms and preppy high schoolers seated inside and out, I was greeted with the aromas of fresh coffee, a clean and well organized restaurant and a menu with numerous meals that sounded not only delicious, but affordable too! Still a little skeptical, I ordered the prime rib sandwich with homemade potato chips and my companion had the chicken avocado bacon club or something like that, paired with a nice Samoa coffee. The register worker was patient and nice despite us being there just before close (special NYE hours we thought they'd be open later our bad) and in what felt like mere seconds our sandwiches arrived! For under $10, I'm not sure you could find a fresher, faster, and more delicious meal this side of the Miss'ippi. I'll start with the sandwiches, and furthermore, the bread; not just crispy, but with that great sourdough chew as well! Really an incredible balance between crunchy and chewy. Just the right thickness, and absorbent for my prime rib's Anjou. The meat was well prepared, flavorful, fresh, and tender as could be, and that aforementioned Anjou even tasted like it wasn't made with a mix or packet (though if it was nbd). I can't emphasize enough how fresh it all tasted, truly a delightful meal. The old lady's chicken avocado bacon club (maybe) performed equally well or even better. The bacon was perfectly cooked in my humble opinion, and the chicken was far from dry or tasteless. Even the avocado, not typically a favorite of mine on a sandwich, I thought was a great addition for the bite or two that I stole. Moving on to the sides, which were maybe not as filling as a scoop of mac and cheese or a bowl of chili (which I think we could have ordered had we coughed up a couple more bucks), but were not forgettable either. The salad, like EVERYTHING else, was as fresh as possible, and the vinaigrette was sweet and tangy. My homemade (cool right?) potato chips had a lovely funk almost like an aged cheese along with a great crack and nutty flavor. Not one bite of our lunches made it past 2024, as we spared not one leaf of lettuce or a single chip. Even the coffee (Samoa with some kind of syrup and milk) was delicious, just a tad sweet for my liking but tasting quite legit, not like one you'd get from a gas station cappuccino machine. I would be remiss if I did not mention the people. For 2pm, this place was HOPPING. And every worker there had a smile on their face! Not only this, but they happily brought our food to us outside. I was lucky enough to briefly chat with the owner, Lane, as he casually checked on the tables outside. He came across as authentic, cheerful, and involved, and explained he planned to keep the prices low and the food fresh and fast just as it was in our experience. Genuinely can't recommend this place enough, I will 100% be back if I don't die in a freak accident. Made our day trip to the area worth it. Cafe 44 was the perfect place to have lunch on the beautiful day we were blessed with to finish off the year! Thanks Cafe 44! p.s. I seriously can't emphasize enough how fresh this food was, like they made every portion size one at a time for each meal (though I am fairly certain this is not the case it was that good, think artisan farmers market ingredients). Thinking about eating at Subway now that I've eaten here just about makes me sick!

I really liked the tomato basil soup and the blackened chicken wrap. The avocado was perfect. My bf…read moresad his california club wasn't great because the chicken was a little cold and he didn't like the "canned chicken" texture. Otherwise though very pleasant. Very busy on Saturdays.

We held our 50th wedding anniversary in their combined Magnolia Room and Sand Bar space for 80…read morepeople. They were so great to work with in setting it up and so accommodating. On the day of the event, the place was set up perfectly. The food was delicious and the staff was excellent. The bar servers were especially great as they were kept very busy. Highly recommended for this type of event.

The Bistro feels like a genuine neighborhood gathering place rather than a restaurant designed only…read morefor visitors. Each time I stopped in, the atmosphere was energetic, casual, and welcoming. I felt completely comfortable dining alone. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without constantly interrupting my meal. I was especially impressed by how involved the management was. The general manager actively worked the room, assisted the staff, and took time to speak with guests instead of remaining behind the scenes. The chicken Parmesan was excellent. The breaded chicken was crisp outside but still tender and juicy, with a savory marinara and just enough melted cheese. The pasta was cooked properly, and the accompanying garlic bread was crunchy around the edges while remaining soft inside. The generous serving provided plenty of leftovers. The strawberry basil margarita was refreshing and well balanced, with enough fruit flavor to be interesting without becoming overly sweet. For dessert, the peanut butter pie had a wonderfully smooth, creamy texture and a rich flavor that never felt excessive. The onion ring tower is also worth ordering, especially for a group. The rings are thick, crispy, well seasoned, and clearly prepared fresh. It would be far too much for most solo diners, so plan to share. Although the restaurant is not directly on the waterfront, the patio and some tables offer views of Lake Oconee. There is ample free parking, and the regular live music and special events add to the lively local atmosphere. Lake Oconee Bistro has earned a place on my list whenever I return to the area.
