What a pleasant surprise!!! I had a most delicious lunch here today, my first visit. I had the opportunity to meet Pierre, the chef. What a gracious man! Me and my friends all started with the Maryland crab and corn chowder. It was outstanding. Not too buttery, not too thick and the crab was not overpowered by the corn - something I find too often in chowders with corn. For my main course I had the veggie sandwich that was served with rice and beans. The veggies were grilled and seasoned to perfection and the toasted bread balanced it all marvelously. And did I mention the rice and red beans??? Oh my word! Absolutely delicious. The iced tea was a disappointment but I could have cared less. Everyone at my table loved their meal - a shrimp and chicken pasta dish and a blackened chicken salad. I'll definitely be back!!!
Review Source:My best friend and I ate here tonight (Saturday night) with our husbands and we had a great time. Â As stated by Eliza B. in the last review (written 18 months ago) this is a chef owned and operated Caribbean Fusion restaurant where you get personalized attention. Â Now ain't that a rare thing! Â I had the crusted tuna served cooked PERFECTLY with a kick-ass sauce on top of smashed potatoes which were on top of baby bok choy and pickled ginger. Â It was an incredible dish and I did something I've never done before. Â I hugged the chef. Â The salads were excellent. Â The corn and crab soup and the salmon were also excellent. Â My husband was a little disappointed in the penne pasta which he found "ordinary" and in a red sauce that he had been under the impression was going to be a cream sauce. Â But he ate some of my tuna and that made him happy. Â The bar could use a larger wine selection and bottled sparkling water would have been nice but those are small details to change in a place that is otherwise way beyond average and beyond expectations. Â Hoping to go back for other special occasions!
Review Source:I'm sincerely hoping my review gets people to ignore every other terrible review here. They're just wrong.
This is the most relaxing low key place to find yourself on a weeknight. I believe this yelp page is a bit sorry and a poor representation of the place because, and I say this lovingly, the crowd is urban and they simply don't review their fave establishments on <a href="http://yelp.com">http://yelp.com</a>.
Chef Pierre is the bomb, he's the owner and head chef. If he's cooking you're in the money! The restaurant is haitian owned and so most of the dishes (and there are asian, italian and american choices among other things) have a great kick whether in flavor or spice.
They will make you anything you can think of, order your food exactly as you'd like it. If you have kids ask what they can offer you, they can usually come up with things like little burgers or mac and cheese or grilled cheese or a cheese pizza.
The girls who work here are incredible. If it's not too busy ask Yve (Eve) the bartender who kinda runs the show to make you something awesome. Ask for a Shut the Fuck Up if you want a drink that'll floor you if you attempt to drink more then three. They're delicious.
If it would honestly bother you to hear other people enjoying the space and having a good time then fine, go elsewhere. On the weekends there are parties in the evening with DJs which may or may not be your thing so call and ask about when that goes down. I believe it's still Hip Hop on Fridays and Kompa/Zook (I may be spelling that very wrong but it's haitian island music and everyone dances) on Saturday nights, it feels like vacation, TRY IT IF YOU'RE ADVENTUROUS and want an experience you actually WILL NOT get anywhere else in Bridgeport. On these nights they are open til 2 am.
Happy Hour mon-fri 4 to 7.
Try the Cremas if they have it, it's a creamy alcoholic drink from Haiti, related to Coquito if you've ever had that. Totally yummy, they serve it room temp, two cubes of ice are a great thing to ask for in it.
Be kind and respectful and you will recieve the utmost respect, Bridgeport's a rough place and the staff really appreciates people who are there to eat great food, relax, and unwind with some drinks. ENJOY!!!!
Got those crazy old groupon blues. Bought in haste, redeem on the double 'cause she's expiring soon! And on a Friday, to boot.
 Urban chic and urban hip are good. Urban loud is just what it sounds like.  Loudmouth, bellowing patrons can inhibit any good time. That said,  the visit was not too bad, the service was better than I had been led to believe, and if it hadn't been for a psycho  mind- shift by my date, I might have enjoyed it more.  My burger was cooked as I had ordered, the fish that was ordered by my wife seemed to be OK, or maybe not, or maybe it is somehow my fault, the jury is out on that! And if the band had not repeatedly subjected us to cold drafts while they brought in the equipment, it may have been a better experience. I am willing to give it another try, maybe not during a full moon.
We checked out Metric because of a special offer and are so glad we did! The food is world-class, cooked with love by a charming chef (he came to our table and spoke to us) who clearly loves food. His influences are multi-national and his seasonings diverse. And the prices are VERY reasonable for the high-quality ingredients used. Ambience-wise, think urban Cheers, a neighborhood kind of place. Give Metric a try.
Edited to add: I forgot to mention the service, which is very friendly and attentive.
I have been there a few times for lunch - and it was always "acceptable." Â Nothing great - but fairly solid. Â The service was never great - they even forgot about us a few times as it was quite empty the times we were there. Â Again - fairly forgivable. Â
But this got crossed off my list when I ordered a cheeseburger medium rare. Â The burger came out raw inside. Â When I sent it back, they scraped the cheese off the burger, wiped the cheese on the bread and recooked the cut open burger and served the hockey puck back to me. Â When I didn't want to eat it they refused to take it off our bill. Â There are too many other places to waste time or money here!
Metric is a fantastic place for a quite night out. I've been there on weeknights and it was allways a great intimate atmosphere. The food is fantastic. They have your tradional steaks and pastas, but if you choose you get them with a zing and a twist. They aren't afraid to add come Carribean and Asain flare to their dishes. If anything just go and order there Bannana Cheesecake Burrito. It is to die for.
