    Everything was outstanding however the temperature of the restaurant was a bit warm. We probably would have stayed a bit longer but it was hot.

    After visiting the 21C exhibit (terrific!), we stopped for brunch on a Saturday. Fabulous food--interesting menu, well-prepared, and hot--which made for a lovely experience. Especially recommend the crab cake benedict! Lovely staff as well.

    I absolutely love Metropole! The ambiance is fantastic, and dining alongside a penguin adds such a unique charm. The food was excellent, with a menu featuring delicious seasonal options. The service, while decent, could use a little improvement.

    Food was excellent even though offerings being limited due to we were there on Christmas Eve. Pricing was higher than it probably should have been. Disappointed there were not any holiday decorations in the restaurant- went there thinking we would get a great holiday ambiance.

    This place has amazing food. We had friends in from Chicago for my husbands birthday and I choose this restaurant. Everyone loved every dish we tried. David, our waiter recommended many of the dishes and they were all so good. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others.

    Made reservations and were sat immediately. We waited a little over 10 minutes and no one came to even offer us water so we left. It was not very crowded and we saw at least 4 servers. No servers even acknowledged that we were there, told us they would be with us in a minute, or brought us water.

    We waited 15 mins to be greeted at our table. 40 mins to get a drink. No place to hang long coats. Food was good but experience started to rough it was hard to enjoy when it took so long to arrive. Why does a hotel restaurant not offer lunch on weekends? It makes zero sense. This place has so much potential, but seems like a forgotten detail with this hotel.
    Metropole @ 21c Museum HotelResponded 2 days ago
    Thanks for visiting us. We appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear about your experience. It's not the standard we have set for ourselves and apologize that the initial experience, delay in service and brunch-only offerings, set an unsavory tone for the rest of your meal. We're always looking for ways to improve and your input is invaluable in this regard. We've taken your comments back to the team and are working on addressing them with our service staff. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you better in the future. Best, The Management Team at Metropole @ 21c Museum Hotel
