   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.

   Went prior to theatre for brunch. Food was good; nothing special . Ordered a mimosa, a 3oz champagne w 1oz OJ. Waitress took back and a splash of champagne added . She was not extremely interested in tables experience. I will return ; however as far as brunch goes, it was a decent Hotel brunch.

We appreciate your feedback and will work to improve in those areas. We’re happy to know you plan to return, and we look forward to providing a better experience next time!

   Viewed art exhibit of wonderful works in hotel before dinner. Our waiter was a pro and the food fabulous. Next time we are hoping for a visit by resident penguin.

It makes us very happy to know that the food and service enhanced your overall experience. I've let the flock know about your interest in having them dine with you next time. They seem very eager for the occasion. Thank you so much for your patronage and we are looking forward to next time!

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

We always strive to offer a variety of dishes for all tastes, so we appreciate your comments and will keep them in mind as we work to improve our menu options. We hope to have the chance to welcome you and your wife back and provide a more tailored dining experience in the future.

    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.
    

    Metropole @ 21c Museum HotelResponded on December 3, 2024

    Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback and for choosing to celebrate Thanksgiving with us. We apologize for the disappointing experience that you had with the food, service and overall value. There were certainly lessons learned from that day, and we appreciate your efforts to share the shortcomings that you encountered, which deviated from your previous experiences with us. We are working to address these issues internally and want to thank you for candor and your patronage. We hope we can remain an option for you in the future.
