    My wife and I aren’t fish/seafood eaters and the majority of the appetizers and many of the entrees were fish related.

    Thanksgiving dinner was mediocre at best, which was disappointing given the many times we've enjoyed our meals at Metropole. The soup appetizer was gone by the time we arrived, the pound cake dry. Way overpriced (even knowing it was Thanksgiving) for the quality of the meal.

    I enjoyed my personal Thanksgiving meal very much. Everything was lovely. The only thing that could have been better was the dessert, the Cardamom Apple Crisp.

    Great experience for my wife's bday. Server was very considerate of our time as we had to catch a show across the street. Food was delicious and coursed out nicely. Only criticism is that some of the tables are so close together that it was difficult to even get in and out without disturbing the table next to us.
