    The food was amazing. It was very busy and loud, so having a conversation is difficult.

    We love this restaurant. Great view and vibe. The noise level is why I gave it 4/5. Otherwise, it is a solid 5/5.

    Service was fine but the food was a no-go. The view is there but limited and not spectacular or anything. It’s really hard to get calamari appetizers wrong. When they’re just OK I can still eat them. Not here. I think they were just stale. It’s a shame. Our server was super nice as was the entire staff and the ambiance had promise and it was clean. Management was clearly attentive. And I could see coming here at sunset for a chill view and cocktails for sure. It was the food that I felt obliged to warn folks about. Sorry to say it but then again that’s what these app reviews are for otherwise they’re pointless.

    The food here was awful and our waiter was so inattentive. This was the worst meal we had in our few days in Portland. The view was good and that was about it.
    Metropolitan TavernResponded on June 3, 2025
    Hi Jennifer, Thank you for your feedback. First let me apologize that your visit was so unsatisfactory. What you described is not the standard we strive for and I know we can do much better. If you have any specifics on what went wrong here I would appreciate it so we can address the issues you experienced. Once again I am so sorry that you had a disappointing experience and hope you can give us a second chance in the future. Sincerely, Jason Dondero

    This is the 3rd time we've been to this restaurant. While food, service, and energy are very good, the views and the outdoor patio really top it all off.
