Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Metropolitan Tavern offers a "great rooftop dining experience" with stunning views and "attentive service." It's an ideal spot for celebrations, with a "lovely setting" and a menu featuring delightful dishes like "bottomless mimosas" and "buffalo cauliflower." While some have noted inconsistencies in service during busy times, the "atmosphere" and "amazing views" often make up for it.

    Place was very busy. We felt rushed. The food was just ok. We ordered a few items off the happy hour menu but they all lacked flavor and seasoning.

    One of my favorite brunch spots- beautiful environment and awesome staff. Come for the bottomless mimosas, stay for the perfect ambiance.

    Nice variety of choices for this good value 4 course NYE dinner. Excellent service, great view. Portions could have been just a little bigger but it was enough. Don't be deceived by the rooftop outdoor photos. The restaurant was fully enclosed and warm on this winter day and the view was not sacrificed.

    Thank you Rose Mary for the excellent review! I am so happy you enjoyed our 4-course NYE menu, the service and the ambiance. I hope this becomes a NYE tradition for you! We'd love to have you come see us again soon. Cheers! Jason Dondero General Manager

    I wish I remembered his name, but our server was exceptionally attentive. He made eye contact often & was quick with requests. The first contact we had was also lovely, even though she was just arriving to the front desk at our 11am reservation. This wasn't our first time at Metropolitan Tavern and won't be our last - fantastic experience yet again today! Thank you!

    We had an excellent meal here and the service and view were fantastic! Our table of 6 tried the fried chicken, salmon, pork chop, salads and tacos. Everything was huge portions, and very reasonably priced especially for how delicious the food was (pork chop was incredible!)
    Metropolitan TavernResponded 1 day ago
    I am so happy you enjoyed your dining experience with us Meika! Sounds like your group had a nice selection of items and glad they were all on point and good portions. I would agree with you on the Pork Chop, always a favorite with everyone! We would love to have you back soon. Cheers! Jason Dondero General Manager

    Always a fun pre-Moda Cente event stop. Great happy hour and can’t beat the location. The service was fast and attentive however the food this go around wasn’t as good as it had been in the past. Please bring back the truffle fries!

    I've been to Metropolitan countless times, with zero complaints. But today the service was extremely sub par. Long waits between refills on our bottomless bubbles, the waiter forgot to enter my order; I would be more forgiving for a big party, but it was just me and my partner. But... My partner felt sick out of no where, dizzy, fever, awful. I went to the bar and told our waiter and he got me my check and processed everything immediately and before our Lyft arrived he brought a to-go water in case my partner needed it. With all my great times here, I'm thinking it was call outs during the holidays etc. we'll still be back.

    Thank you Carolyn for the feedback. I am sorry that your service was not a quick as usual on this visit. I know the bartender who served you and he usually is on point so I feel like this is just an unfortunate set of circumstances that led to your service issues. Always good to know about these experiences so we can tighten things up as necessary. I am so glad he was able to take care of you when your partner felt unwell and we look forward to having you back soon.
