I loved each of my four experiences dining at Metropole. The food was always cooked to perfection and had the perfect balance of sweet and savory elements. The staff was so nice and I highly recommend Metropole to all!

The whole aesthetic of the restaurant was a vibe, definitely has a unique menu. The peaches, and grits with the pork dinner. First thought odd! Surprisingly it was really tasteful. Took my girls for our one year anniversary. They gave us champagne for a toast on them. Are waitress was super friendly. But wouldn’t Recommend it to anyone else!!

I went back and forth between 3 and 4 stars. Our server was friendly was extraordinary slow. She apologized profusely for our long waits but some was due to her inattention. The food, however, was very good. Hence, 4 stars. Conversation can be difficult, depending on where you’re sitting but the overall ambiance is nice. We’ll return but likely won’t rush back.

Before going I had read a review that said the food was too salty but I found the opposite. Not nearly enough seasoning was used on anything we ordered. Got the crispy deviled eggs and the eggs were rather tough and rubbery. It was also so hot in there that we were both actively sweating while trying to enjoy our food. If I paid Applebee’s prices for the food I’d be a lot more forgiving but for these prices I just expected a little more and didn’t feel like it was worth the money in the end.

This place was a great find with a classy vibe, cozy seats, and high quality menu. Startingoff with the salads (brussels and caesar), both were pretty good. They were lightly dressed, but the dressings were excellent; asking for a side of more was a great idea. The salmon was perfectly cooked, with very crispy skin, sitting atop some flavorful beans. That plate was excellent. My plus one rarely gives a reaction while dining out and she was making all sorts of (good) gestures while eating the steak and potatoes. I have no doubt that plate was amazing. Service was very good. We loved the whole experience at Metropole! I’ll definitely be back and try some drinks/desserts next time that also looked very good.

Dinner before the ballet at Aronoff. Drinks, appetizers, and entree were all amazing. Definitely recommend the pork belly and scallops. Service was great and the presentation was so nice. I could see the kitchen and presentation area from my seat…..I watched them all work hard the entire time. I enjoyed myself and will be back.

Personally I think it overpriced, I’m sure some people will go there and feel differently. The food was good, the service and attention to detail and my needs as a customer I don’t feel our needs were met to the best of the staff’s ability. I’d like to say my money spends the same as everyone else’s.
