   Overall I am not sure I’ll be back Service was very poor, cornbread was great the brisket was great but everything else wasn’t for me, drinks options at the bar was limited, I also never got a drink I ordered for the 2hrs I was there and the waiter kept saying “wait so you still didn’t get your drink?” My friend got his drink but when re-ordered it never came. I kept asking and it came when we were about to leave and they charged us for it. Even though he said the drink has been seating there and he thought we had it already and we won’t be charged. I loved the ambiance but the service didn’t meet the vibe at all.

   This is the second time to Metropolis and the food and service did not disappoint! The only difference is that there was a lively band playing on the lobby stage for the first half of dinner (which if you haven't been there) is adjacent to the restaurant and there's no real separation. I thought the energy was wonderful and a very happy and engaged audience; for some looking for a quiet (or romantic) dinner, it may have been too much. I loved it! It is easy enough to check the schedule on the PAC website. And don't forgo the banana pudding cart for dessert!

   Extraordinarily delicious food served by thoughtful and attentive staff in a beautiful space. The music was a little louder than it should have been but sitting near the windows made it fine. Is there a better restaurant south of midtown? I don't think so.

   Everything was great. We had the Crudo, Coconut Shrimp, Red Snapper, MS Steak, Corn Bread. Each item was beautifully served and delicious. The only issue was the food came out fast and we needed some time between the sides and entrees. The space is so comfortable and luxe. And Marcus Samuelson walked around and greeted all of the guests.

   We joined the restaurant in a special tasting menu and it was very very good. The location and interior is impressive, eye pleasing and elaborate. It is definitely a great place for a date or business dinner. The menu is interesting and different. We recommend to take a look at the menu before going. The bar is large and welcoming for drinks. They have very nice cocktails as well.

    The food wasn’t as flavorful as expected, and I feel over priced.
