We enjoyed another fantastic dinner at Metropolis following a wonderful (and free!) lobby stage performance at the PAC by the incredibly talented Maiya Blaney. As PAC members, we've dined at Metropolis many times, and it never disappoints. The menu is eclectic, and every dish we've tried has been both delicious and beautifully presented. Highlights from this visit included the crispy snapper, coconut rice, asparagus, and a show-stopping banana butterscotch pudding served tableside from a beautifully decorated cart. The ambiance is lovely, and the service is consistently warm and professional. From Ashley the bartender, to our attentive waitress Nelly and the friendly servers, the staff made us feel welcome without ever interrupting our conversation. We highly recommend Metropolis and are already looking forward to our next visit!

The best part of this was seeing the YouTube from Architectural Digest about the building itself and how it was constructed, along with the chef interview. A must! Lunch was slow..it would be great just before an evening event though. Right across from the 911 memorial so super convenient. The food was excellent..the ceaser salad wasn't a large portion but the chicken leg was really spiced well. The burger was substantial and the meat was great!

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!

Food was the highlight, warranting a return someday. The service a little spotty as our server’s shift ended in the middle of our dinner. We were seated right next to the DJ so music was a bit loud. Overall a fine experience.
