    The experience we had with our family was amazing. The way the chefs plated the food was a work of art. The food melted in our mouths as we savored everything we had. The chocolate espresso was by far our favorite drink and the carajillo we highly recommend. The experience we had with our server was by far 5stars . She was so attentive and explained every dish we had. I want to thank everyone for giving us VIP service and making our dreams come true.

    This was by far our best experience of NYC! The food was amazing…the staff was helpful and kind…the art and ambiance is stunning….can’t say enough good. After dinner…my daughter turned to me to ask about the bill….we all ate well…including dessert and drinks….and when I told her the total…she said…that’s it?! We should have eaten there every night. Best value for the quality of food by far. Thank you creating such a special place…and filling it with amazing staff. Loved it!

    Food, venue and service were excellent. Cocktails not so much (grasshoper served in high ball glass instead of coupe, “flying fish” in dubious-taste fish-shaped flower vase). Price mistake on check, was quickly and happily fixed by our waitress. Overall a good experience.

    Super endroit, super nourriture mais service très très bas de gamme. Attente de 50 minutes pour avoir le premier verre alors que le restaurant n’était pas plein et que les serveurs riaient entre entre eux. Erreurs de commande. Le service est vraiment le bémol - dommage car le reste est top

    Our favorite place for dinner in downtown Battery Park City area! Three times here for special occasions, and never a disappointment, in fact, expectations were exceeded every time. Service was always impeccable, food, ambience and quality all equally impressive. I will be going back in a couple of weeks.

    If you want delicious food with a sexy vibe, this is your spot. The bartender Ashley makes the best drink as if she is making them for kings and queens. The drinks are just as amazing as the food. My favorite is the crispy snapper. It is divine! The entire staff is extraordinary. Run. Do not walk to go to metropolis!

    Food was uneven: in the past, everything has been excellent: in this case, the appetizers were excellent. However, two of the main courses this time were average - one dish had pasta that was overcooked and mushy - and the other meal just did not have a good flavor (black cod). The desert offerings were minimal and the one we chose was not very good - way too tart and no balance. We were really sorry about the meal because in the past, we have looked forward to the Metropolis meals. It doesn't mean we won't return: it is very convenient when we go to events at the PAC, but so sorry the meals was disappointing, because it is part of the draw to PAC.
