Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Metropolitan Tavern offers a "great rooftop dining experience" with stunning views and "attentive service." It's an ideal spot for celebrations, with a "lovely setting" and a menu featuring delightful dishes like "bottomless mimosas" and "buffalo cauliflower." While some have noted inconsistencies in service during busy times, the "atmosphere" and "amazing views" often make up for it.

    Fabulous reception and service. Food was truly delicious. There were nine of us and everyone was very satisfied. A very lovely restaurant evening and for us a tad loud making it hard to hear one another but very festive.

    My review is for the Thanksgiving dinner. The food was terrible. The gravy was runny. The sweet potatoes were runny. The apple crisp was like undercooked and runny chunks of apple with no crisp. Typically this restaurant has really good food in the main dining room but they just blew it when it came to a Thanksgiving dinner. It was awful. I would not recommend this restaurant for any holiday dinners with your family.

    The service and staff were excellent! The food unfortunately was not very good. There was an overall lack of flavor and seasoning. The menu said there would be salmon but it was cod instead. The was no pecan pie and the pumpkin pie was stale and tasted artificial.

    We went to Metropolitan for the Thankgiving Buffet and we were very happy with the food and service. No buffet will be as good as home cooking, but they had a nice array of the basic TGfoods. The Turkey was excellent, very moist. They also had prime rib that was excellent and very generous portion when carved, and grilled salmon that my husband said was excellent. I’m not usually a mashed potatoes fan, especially on a buffet but these were some of the best I’ve ever had. They offered 3 types of deserts as well. They were seating in the main restaurant and in the Cosmopolitan Ballroom with the buffet set up in between so the flow was great and did not seem crowed even though it seamed full at the time we went. We were seated promptly at our reservation time and the server greeted us right away, explained the service and was taking drink orders and checking in meal. We also did not feel rushed to leave to turn the table although this may have been because we were dinning at 3pm. The price of $50 pp I thought was on par or very reasonable for the quality of buffet they presented. I will very much consider this again next year for our holiday dinner. Oh, and the view is excellent!

    My food was dry and my partners was overly salt. The noise level was overwhelming.
