The Metropolitan Downtown

“We had a great experience here. We went during happy hour, so the appetizers were 50% off which was great! The spinach artichoke dip was delicious. We heard rumors that the food was bland. I ordered lemon pepper shrimp pasta, and it tasted like pepper but the sauce tasted watered down. I believe this is why people say that the food is bland. We received complimentary beignets for a birthday treat. We were greeted promptly and courteously. Bree was absolutely amazing. She is so professional and sweet. We will be returning for future visits. Also, the aesthetic is serene yet classy.”

“This is my second time eating here. I first came during Summer of ‘25 and enjoyed it so I decided to bring family and friends to come back again while visiting Denver. The food was just as good as the first time. We especially enjoyed our server Kiersten who was amazing. The next time we’re in the area we’ll be back.”

“Cool spot! Great food options! Kinda fancy! I should have worn a button up shirt 😆! I got the angus beef hamburger, added avocado, bacon and satiated onions. Super yummy and delicious! Big hamburger! Cooked perfectly! Good choice of buns they use! I also got the pokie appetizer, which was really good, but super small for the price! The ahi was sliced very thin. It would be better if they were thicker slices! But at any rate super good!! I also substituted my french fries, for truffle fries! Which were very good to you! I would definitely be back in order the same thing! Service was very nice and prompt! You can tell the restaurant is very well ran! Good size bar! Plenty of drink options! Happy hour too!”

“We went there for our first time to celebrate our anniversary. We were treated very differently from those who were dressed in their Sunday best. We were seated and the waitress was short with us when taking our order. I ordered the salmon, which was cooked 50% of the way done, the rest was very undercooked at which I couldn’t eat because I am pregnant and can’t eat under cooked fish. We watched as our waitress tended to another couple who was dressed nicer with a professional attitude, was very fast with taking their order and getting it out to them. We also watched our waitress ignore a group of 6 sitting next to us as they were not dressed up either. They got their appetizer 45 minutes after ordering, and the waitress didn’t take their order for their dinner until at least an hour and a half of them being there (we were there the same time the group of 6 were). They told the waitress they had to leave because they were never tended to and it was too late to order at that point and they were going elsewhere. The slice of cake we got for dessert is not worth $13. But we absolutely loved the lights on the windows and the toned down lights inside the restaurant. To make things short and sweet: IF YOU WANT GREAT SERVICE, DRESS LIKE YOU HAVE $$$, AND EXPECT SUBPAR FOOD.”

“Sunday brunch with family, poor as some reviewers have noted. Ordered eggs Benedict with veges. Came cold. No English muffin, which is what a Benedict is. If food is cold, that's usually on the wait staff. Have heard other comments on the poor quality of food and service for restaurant and functions in back. Do not recommend. Happy hour seems OK, however.”
