    The Metropole has a delicious brunch - from crab cake Benedict to pork belly wrap or Goetta hash, it was all delicious. We appreciated being able to get a large table for our group on a Sunday game day, and enjoyed our time. I would like to mention that our drink service was extremely slow - over 30 minutes for the first drinks to arrive, to at least 45 minutes to get them all. I understand staffing issues, and it was a full house, but I saw at least one person who looked like a manager that did more "supervising" than helping out. The kitchen got the food out quickly so I think it was just a bar issue. But I wanted to mention this because it was an obvious issue. We ended up ordering bottles of prosecco for the table to make it faster and easier after our first round.

    Reservations were at 12:30. We weren’t seated until 1. Food was mediocre as the waffles were soggy and not at all fluffy. The fried chicken was god. Brioche French toast was stodgy and the fruit was not fresh. Expected better service and food for this place.
    Metropole @ 21c Museum HotelResponded on September 17, 2024
    Dear Rahul, Thank you for your feedback. I’m truly sorry about the 30-minute wait and the experience with your meal. We strive to ensure every guest has a memorable visit, and it’s clear we missed the mark. Waiting past your reservation time is unacceptable, and I understand your frustration. I’m also disappointed that the food didn’t meet your expectations. We aim to delight and satisfy and regret that we fell short. Your comments are taken seriously. I’d love the chance to speak with you and make this right. Please contact me directly so we can address your concerns. Best, Bradford Conroy Director of Food & Beverage

    This is our favorite restaurant when we go to The Aronoff for a show. Valet park and they will keep your car until the show lets out. The food is always phenomenal. Their new menu had some great options. We had the crunchy salmon, octopus, and grilled chilis appetizers. Of those the crunchy salmon was our favorite. But all were very good. Entres we had were smash burger, pork loin schnitzel, and the scallops. These were all thoroughly enjoyed. Service was quick and we had plenty of time with our 5:30 reservation, to make our 7:30 show time. Cheers!

    My omelette was light but I don’t recall that it was listed having sautéed onions. I either missed it , or the description for the omelette that day was incorrect. I love the hotel and their art collection, which is always changing. It was a busy morning at Metropole, with the patrons that were going to the Bengals game and the matinee at the Aronoff.
