No-smoking policy at Metro!
Metro! initiated a no-smoking policy today. From their newsletter:
As of April 1st, Metro! will initiate a no-smoking policy at the main bar and lounge until 10 pm. The dining room will remain, as always, non-smoking at all times. This new policy will address our customers’ primary concern of smoke interfering with the fine dining atmosphere and the cuisine. We hope this is a good first step towards making Metro! completely smoke-free.
We have come to this decision after careful consideration of both the opinions of our customers and the well-being of our staff. We believe that with your support, we can improve both our business and our atmosphere while continuing to offer the exquisite dining and entertainment experience you have come to expect from Metro! If this policy decision proves successful, we will go forward with a fully non-smoking policy in the coming months.
Thank you so much for your consideration as we strive to meet all of our guests’ needs as hospitably and as ethically as we can.
To encourage our customers to support our new policy, we have created a new Metro! Sushi Hour, 7 days a week from 6-7 pm - half-price all sushi menu items, no strings attached!! Check out Chef Switzer’s new spring menu specials, great to enjoy on our outdoor patio. Remember, this Sunday we will be open featuring full menu items as well as our much anticipated Sunday brunch specials. Selections such as traditional eggs benedict, eggs Chesapeake feat our famous crab cakes, and prime rib with truffled eggs are sure to be hits.

The Smoking/No-Smoking Section system has been working seamlessly for decades. Almost all restaurants built between 1950 and 2000 have separate AC systems for their different sections. Why are these health bozos making a huge issue out of a non-existent problem? These are the same folks who take homoeopathic medicine and imagine they’re taking something other than water. Dude, you stay on your side of the restaurant and let me smoke on mine. A meal is bland to me without a cigarette in hand, so I will no longer be eating at Metro!, which is upsetting to me since they had great sushi and upsetting to them because I ate there twice a week and never left without spending more than thirty dollars.
