Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Metropolitan Tavern offers a "great rooftop dining experience" with stunning views and "attentive service." It's an ideal spot for celebrations, with a "lovely setting" and a menu featuring delightful dishes like "bottomless mimosas" and "buffalo cauliflower." While some have noted inconsistencies in service during busy times, the "atmosphere" and "amazing views" often make up for it.

    Always a fun pre-Moda Cente event stop. Great happy hour and can’t beat the location. The service was fast and attentive however the food this go around wasn’t as good as it had been in the past. Please bring back the truffle fries!

    I've been to Metropolitan countless times, with zero complaints. But today the service was extremely sub par. Long waits between refills on our bottomless bubbles, the waiter forgot to enter my order; I would be more forgiving for a big party, but it was just me and my partner. But... My partner felt sick out of no where, dizzy, fever, awful. I went to the bar and told our waiter and he got me my check and processed everything immediately and before our Lyft arrived he brought a to-go water in case my partner needed it. With all my great times here, I'm thinking it was call outs during the holidays etc. we'll still be back.

    Fabulous reception and service. Food was truly delicious. There were nine of us and everyone was very satisfied. A very lovely restaurant evening and for us a tad loud making it hard to hear one another but very festive.

    My review is for the Thanksgiving dinner. The food was terrible. The gravy was runny. The sweet potatoes were runny. The apple crisp was like undercooked and runny chunks of apple with no crisp. Typically this restaurant has really good food in the main dining room but they just blew it when it came to a Thanksgiving dinner. It was awful. I would not recommend this restaurant for any holiday dinners with your family.

    Went to the Thanksgiving buffet. Both the food and the service were great! We would definitely go again.

    The service and staff were excellent! The food unfortunately was not very good. There was an overall lack of flavor and seasoning. The menu said there would be salmon but it was cod instead. The was no pecan pie and the pumpkin pie was stale and tasted artificial.
