   Extremely busy night due to local events and holiday parties. Drinks and food were slow to come out to our table but our server was excellent. She checked on us often and took care of our group.

   Took my friend here for first time. They took Old fashion off happy hour list. Bummer , we had to purchase at regular $14 a glass. So even though we had happy hour only for food still spent over 100.00 dollars. Overall it’s a fun splurge!

   Wonderful place for thanksgiving dinner. Would have scored higher but food was slow. Server was very friendly and charismatic.

   Metropolitan TavernResponded 5 days agoThank you for the wonderful feedback Stephanie. I am so happy to hear you enjoyed the ambiance and had such great service. We learned some valuable lessons this year so I know we will be able to execute a little faster next year for Thanksgiving. We would love to see you again before that though! Cheers!

    We will cut the Met Tavern some slack because it was Thanksgiving Day, and they were very full and very busy. But the food service was rushed -- we received our salads when we were only halfway through our cocktails and the main course arrived before the wine that was to accompany it. The food was tasty although some of the side dishes were barely warm. The dining tables were close together without tablecloths and encircled a long bar with several large-screen televisions on. Not a fine dining atmosphere but probably perfectly acceptable for a hotel bar/restaurant combo where some people just want to end a travel day by sitting at the bar, having a drink, and enjoying a game.

    Went for thanksgiving dinner. It was a great value for 2 people. The food was very bland. It also felt like they were trying to turn tables. We were getting each course after 5 minutes of getting the last course. It felt very rushed and like they were trying to us out the door for the next table. I understand it’s busy on thanksgiving and the need to turn tables and that is fine but I’ve never been so rushed and the food wasn’t good on top of it. I loved this place when it was altabira and this meal did not compare. The cocktails were good and it still has great atmosphere so it has that going for it.

    Very nice Thanksgiving Menu. Enjoyable view, friendly, fun atmosphere, great bartender and efficient Servers. An abundance of food, generous & delicious appetizers platter, and sides. A choice of Soup or Salad and 4 Entre selections. To finish off the meal, 3 desserts to pick from. Are you stuffed yet? Don't forget your leftovers! I want to go back when weather is warm to enjoy the wonderful outdoor terrace seating & regular menu. Definitely an establishment worth visiting for drinks and a hearty meal.

    Our experience got off to a bad start with our server (not greeted, took 15 minutes to stop at our table, gave incorrect information about the menu) we then moved to the bar and Heather and the rest of the bartending staff saved the day. Wonderful service, drinks and fun after moving to the bar, thank you Heather!

    We often go here before a blazer game. This time we waited 50min for our food and weee running out of time to eat when we asked our waitress to check on our dinner she was very rude. The evening turned into a dinner that we had to hurry to eat and was not enjoyable

    It was very loud inside. Mostly seemingly coming from one table. But given that we were there on a business lunch, we found it a little difficult to hear each other. Food and service were great!

    Pre-concert dinner before show at Moda. Staff were very efficient and pleasant, respectful of time constraints. Food is good though sliders were excessively dry. It’s a very loud restaurant, so difficult to converse with your party.

    Pros - Great location, especially if you have an event at the Moda Center or Convention Center. Cons - The hostess was really unfriendly when we checked in. Almost couldn't be bothered to check us in for our reservation. Drink service was REALLY slow. Additionally, our waitress misunderstood one of our dinner orders and we had to wait an additional 15 minutes for something else (not what was ordered) to be cooked. I would have expected for one drink to be taken off the bill in that situation.

    Very noisy place to try and enjoy a meal. Both large TV screens were showing hockey instead of the Thursday night football game. Food was pretty good except for the tuna poke which was extremely bad. Hardly any tuna and a large chunk of rice in the middle of the plate with some shaved vegetables. Everything was extremely expensive even for the recession we are in.

    Extremely poor service. I know so many places are short staffed, so it’s hard to put down a place for that, but the service was truly awful. Our waiter took our order, brought us our drinks, and we didn’t see him again until he brought us our checks. Another waiter brought us our food. But no one came to ask if we wanted more drinks, water, or even see how our food was. My friend and I both ordered the fried chicken sandwich. The chicken patty was extremely thin, almost like katsu, but it was burnt. I’m not talking a little burnt on the edges. The entire patty was black. Oddly enough, even with a burnt patty, the white cheddar wasn’t melted. It looked sweaty. The chicken was extremely dry, and the bun was massive compared to such a small patty which made it seem even drier. We tried to get our waiters attention and was not acknowledged by a single person. The location itself is pretty cool. The roof top section is nice with comfortable seating. It’s covered and surrounded by windows, so I can imagine you can sit out there all season. Even with the location I wouldn’t recommend this place.

    My girlfriend and I had a reservation and we showed up on time. Sat outside on the patio. Super cool looking place, server was nice, etc. Ordered an appetizer and drinks which came out quickly and were good. BUT, after we ordered food, we waited for about an hour with nothing. Our server came, apologized for it taking so long, said they were having problems in the kitchen, and told us that our food we be coming soon. 30 minutes later, a manager came to tell us that they ran out of burgers and gave a half apology, and said it would be about 20 more minutes until the food came out. During this time, our server was nowhere to be found. We waited about another 40 minutes before we finally just left. At that point we had been there for 2 hours and 15 minutes. We didn’t complain to our server or management at all; we were as patient as anyone could be but over two hours with no food or anything is ridiculous. We could see the kitchen putting out plates, and other tables throughout the restaurant were being served. Overall it was a terrible experience and extremely disappointing.
