I truly tried to email & handle with other communication to avoid negative reviews but I have yet to have a response. We dined here and were having a pleasant time until a staff member accidentally bumped a martini off a tray and over my head. Genuinely, accidents happen and I understand that but I was soaked through my hair, blazer and dress down to my back. I was freezing and dripping wet and very little acknowledgement of the situation happened by any staff member in a timely manner. Instead of acknowledging that I was sitting there dripping wet the waitress went to the bar to request a replacement martini for her guest. I sat dripping, embarrassed and soaked for at least 10 minutes before some towels were dumped on the table and the staff member ran off. Still no conversation or acknowledgment of the situation. I sat a bit in shock and cold waiting for a resolution. My husband used the towels to try to soak it up but I reeked of alcohol and was shaking from being cold. We didn’t make a scene but instead were appalled by the lack of communication from staff.

I dropped off my silk dress, blazer, coat at the dry cleaners today as they smelled horribly of alcohol which will be a big cost to myself and was not considered by the staff yesterday. My hair appointment that was at 5 PM yesterday before dinner just to get drowned in liquor by 7 PM…. which was a waste. My bag and shoes I’ve been spot cleaning all day trying to get the smell out. My bag had a small pool of liquor in it which was unfortunate as I threw away some the items.

We were going to see a show after dinner and ended up going straight home as I was freezing, smelly, and embarrassed. I’m sad about the lack of acknowledgment from the staff. One person did comp just my salmon entree which was nice but not nearly covered even the dry cleaning. Such a bizarre experience for somewhere you expect high end service.

You couldn’t pay me to try here again. The whole group left very confused and upset. One of the more disappointing experiences I’ve had. We still spent well over $100 with the salmon off the bill for below average service, an $100 dry cleaning bill, a weird experience and...

Went in on December 17th, 2022 with a 8pm reservation for 8 people. Food was good, wine was great, our server was very knowledgeable about the menu which made ordering a breeze. He told us that he’s been working at metropole since the beginning. It’s funny that he said that, however, as our server acted like he hated every minute of serving our table. We had a table of 8 people for my best friends 24th birthday dinner. During her birthday toast where she also wanted to disclose exciting news that we’ve all been waiting to hear from her, we were interrupted TWICE by our server without any remorse. To top it off, the interruption was to ask about a to go meal. He said many times that they closed at 10pm when it was only 9pm and made jokes that the kitchen made our meal fast because they wanted to go home around 9:30pm. Seemingly wanting to rush us out. Another friend of mine ordered her second glass of sparkling rose which she had originally received in a flute. Her second pour arrived in a wine glass and was obviously flat/still compared to the sparkling rose my friend next to her had. When we asked the server for another glass since this one was not sparkling, he seemed reluctant to replace the glass blaming his manger for confirming that this was indeed sparkling. He also warned that they did not have any more flutes and that it would come in a wine glass. My friend, not wanting to be a bother, told him to not worry about it, and he quickly gives her her glass of flat rose back and walks away. After we spoke up for her the second time, without saying anything, he reluctantly picks up the glass and replaces it with SPARKLING rose in a FLUTE. Towards the end, around 9:45-9:50 he asks us if we wanted any desserts. A friend mentions to him that we do have a birthday, and his response was “ok…?” We ended up getting a birthday dessert after asking. Overall, the food and atmosphere was great, but the server made every single one of us feel like we didn’t belong. Will never bring anyone...
