    We ordered 2 delicious cocktails. We also ordered a grilled gem salad, waygu burger and the beet hummus plate. All were worth ordering again. The server and kitchen was super helpful with our dietary restrictions. The view on the southern side of the restaurant was pretty. We'll be back!

    Metropolitan Tavern is located on the 6th floor of Hotel Eastlund with panoramic views of the city and a nice outdoor seating area. There is only valet parking available. We were seated immediately as we had a reservation and our server was prompt to take our drink order. The restaurant was super busy due to the Barry Manilow concert taking place at 7pm. Miranda, our server checked on us periodically. Our meal was delicious and priced fairly. The noise level was extremely high…it was tolerable, but loud. (the only downside of our experience.)

    Thank you for the wonderful feedback Ned! I'm so glad you had an enjoyable experience. I will pass on your feedback to Miranda and the team. Sincerely, Jason Dondero General Manager

    our server was amazing (male with blue rimmed glasses though sadly i can’t remember his name) The food and value and quality and preparation was all very tasty and wonderful. The view was lovely and my sister and I enjoyed our dinner immensely.

    We went for lunch on a Friday. Service was great. Food was excellent and a reasonable price. We sat outside. The only noise interruption was from some emergency vehicles down at street level. Otherwise the roof top was great.

    Food was decent, but under seasoned. They were out of a few menu items as well. Service was good. View is great. Parking is a joke. $10 to park and valet only so you’re expected to tip on top of. Car was parked 20 yards from front door. Restuarant should comp parking for what you pay for a meal. I would look for street parking and just pay meter rates.

    This was my second time dining at Metropolitan Tavern! We were attending a conference at the Oregon Convention Center. The food and service was amazing even though it was a packed house! My party was able to enjoy the drinks, food, and dessert with an energetic environment. Use inKind as payment to get credits back to use within the inKind network!

    A great location right off the metro and a couple blocks from the convention center. Match that with rooftop city views and an outstanding menu it’s a hit!
