    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.
    Metropole @ 21c Museum HotelResponded on 4 December 2024
    Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the food, though we’re sorry to hear the mimosa and service didn’t meet your expectations.

    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.

    Thank you for your review and for visiting us. We are glad you were able to take a peek at the current exhibition on display in the hotel before your dinner. 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.
    Metropole @ 21c Museum HotelResponded on 3 December 2024
    Thank you for sharing your feedback! We understand that not everyone enjoys fish or seafood, and we're sorry to hear that many of our menu options didn't align with your preferences. 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.
