    Oh my gosh, I had an incredible time at Metropolis by Marcus Sameulsson! The atmosphere was just amazing, so relaxed and fun. And the food was absolutely delicious - each flavor was so unique and tasty. But the best part of the night was definitely the staff. They were so friendly and helpful, they made me feel like I was the only person in the world. And Isaiah Kelsey, the restaurant director and sommelier, you’re an incredible person. Thank you so much for your amazing service!
