   This is the second time to Metropolis and the food and service did not disappoint! The only difference is that there was a lively band playing on the lobby stage for the first half of dinner (which if you haven't been there) is adjacent to the restaurant and there's no real separation. I thought the energy was wonderful and a very happy and engaged audience; for some looking for a quiet (or romantic) dinner, it may have been too much. I loved it! It is easy enough to check the schedule on the PAC website. And don't forgo the banana pudding cart for dessert!

   Extraordinarily delicious food served by thoughtful and attentive staff in a beautiful space. The music was a little louder than it should have been but sitting near the windows made it fine. Is there a better restaurant south of midtown? I don't think so.

   Everything was great. We had the Crudo, Coconut Shrimp, Red Snapper, MS Steak, Corn Bread. Each item was beautifully served and delicious. The only issue was the food came out fast and we needed some time between the sides and entrees. The space is so comfortable and luxe. And Marcus Samuelson walked around and greeted all of the guests.

   We joined the restaurant in a special tasting menu and it was very very good. The location and interior is impressive, eye pleasing and elaborate. It is definitely a great place for a date or business dinner. The menu is interesting and different. We recommend to take a look at the menu before going. The bar is large and welcoming for drinks. They have very nice cocktails as well.

   The food wasn’t as flavorful as expected, and I feel over priced.

    The staff was lovely. THe art fabulous. The food was awful. Fluke was terrible cut. Horrible presentation. Huge oval plate with way too much carrot sauce with dots of basil, orange, pomegranate. Three sad pieces of fluke in the center. Needs to be served in a smaller vessel And rethought. Steak was very sweet but again plating issue. The pickled vegetables needed to be on the plate with the meat so the diner understood the sweetness of the very grisly piece of meat was offset. I love Samuelsson’s other venues. This was a huge disappointment.
