   Loved the vibe at Metropolis. The food was good, portions were big and the selection of things of the menu made for great sharing. The service unfortunately was not so great, it was a little all over the place. Our desserts were brought out before the mains were cleared off the table which was a bit confusing, and we had to ask a couple of times for plates and spoons. It also wasn’t super busy but appreciate they may have been under staffed. Overall we enjoyed ourselves and it was a nice experience and opportunity to support a black owned business

   Shellfish allergy mentioned and was still served something with cross contamination. They removed the item rather than replacing the entire plate and it was already contaminated.

   The setting and ambiance is very nice. The food was nicely prepared. Menus selection is very good, although a bit limited. Service was slow.

   I took my team of 6 out for a holiday dinner. Food was delicious - from the gnocchi, to the lobster ravioli, to the steak, to the crispy snapper. The atmosphere is super cool - it felt special without being fussy. The service was the downfall. Our waiter took forever to get our drink orders in, and invited one of my dinner mates to “go look at the tequilas” as he was inquiring about which tequilas they had. Then the waiter insisted we give our orders in the specific order we were seated at the table, unwilling to bypass someone who hadn’t yet decided. I understand you may need to enter orders in a particular order, but a skilled waiter would jot and make the customers feel comfortable while keeping the specifics of restaurant process low key.

   I recently visited and while the ambiance and service initially left a great impression, my experience was marred by a serious oversight regarding my peanut allergy. Upon arrival, I informed the staff of my allergy and felt confident in their understanding. Plus my allergy is noted on my open table account which was used to make the reservation. However, the coconut shrimp I was served caused an allergic reaction. Fortunately, they had allergy medication on hand, and the staff's response to the situation was immediate and professional. Kudos to the manager and director on staff! Despite their swift action, the incident was preventable and highlighted a critical gap in their handling of dietary restrictions. It's unfortunate that our evening had to end prematurely, as I was looking forward to the full dining experience. Based on the level of care shown after the reaction, I'd recommend this restaurant to those without severe food allergies. However, for anyone with a nut allergy, I'd suggest caution or choosing another establishment. I only really got to enjoy the oysters and the cornbread. Oysters were good and I loved the table side service of them. Corn bread was also good and had a great texture. The coconut shrimp was good but since it caused the reaction with peanuts in the sauce, I can't count it.
