The Date: The Metro Grill on Robinson in the fan. Every Tuesday Metro offers a deal that’s sure to show the depth of your savoir-faire. For $39.95 you get a preset dinner for two that includes two house salads, two entrées, a bottle of wine and one dessert. You can choose stuffed chicken breast, shrimp and grits, or wild mushroom lasagna and either a vegetable, chicken or shrimp stir-fry. Each of these dinners is good enough to melt even the coyest Bond-girl’s heart.
If for some reason just dinner isn’t smooth enough for you, Wednesdays you can check out the Metro’s Dinner and Theatre Night. Not only can you charm your date with a delicious meal, but you just may be able to make this a theater date: The first six couples that order entrées get two vouchers good for admission at TheatreVirginia. All the entrées run from $9.95 to $17.95, so you’re getting a super deal while showing your date what a stylish person you really are. See? You can be suave and sophisticated without even having to shoot anybody.
