Metropole Bar + Kitchen — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Let me save anyone from eating at this god awful restaurant. We stayed at the hotel and thought it would be convenient to eat at. Good god it was the worst meal I ever had. I ordered the fish tacos and the tortillas were stale hard. The fish was so overcooked I couldn’t swallow it. My daughter had the caprese salad. The mozzarella was ok but the tomatoes had that grittiness when they are over ripe. My neice had a pasta with meat. The meet was inedible she just ate the pasta. Since we all hated the food (the truffle fries were the only ok thing) we thought dessert was in order. The s’mores cake sounded great but this is probably the only sweet I’ve seen us all turn away. They took off the dessert (the waitress actually said after the fact that it wasn’t a good one to choose) and my dish. In the customer service business they should have comped the entire meal as it ruined our...

DON’T COME HERE IF YOU DONT WANT TO FEEL SELF CONSCIOUS. I came here around 11 and sat at the bar. No one helped us until 11:25. Breakfast ends at 11, we ask if there is still a breakfast menu available. No. Okay that’s fine. We order two entrees and an app with a mimosa. We were here for three hours!! I had three mimosas!! I was laughing and enjoying my time, but essentially three glasses of champagne over three hours. I ordered one more. The bartender, Hugo, asked me “if I could handle another” to which I said “?? Yes?” He brought me a water and said “I’ll bring it to you in a few minutes” so I said “no that’s okay. Don’t worry about it.” When he brought us out check he apologized for cutting me off. It was extremely bizarre and super unnecessary. He made me feel weird for laughing and joking around with my fiancé. The soup was cold twice. Service is bad....

Is there anything less than one star? We made a reservation through OpenTable for 7pm... They were "just cleaning up" and suggested we wait in the bar for a few minutes. An hour later, after astoundingly slow serive in the bar 15 minutes of standing to get a drink) and several polite checks later, each of which was met with "Just a couple moments."… we were finally seated... In the bar region. We ordered immediately. Half an hour later, we asked how our meals were coming. The server (not ours, we never saw him again) came back after a few minutes and asked if we were waiting for our desserts. Nope. We waited another few minutes with no further updates or service. We walked out after 105 minutes, hangry. Kindergartners would be more competent. Save yourself the annoyance, this...
