We love the neighborhood feel. So glad to see the former manager (cannot remember her name) back - she's so lovely and keeps the place organized and focused on guests. Love Metropolis!

Food was all really great and service was speedy. Great diversity on the menu - something for everyone. Drinks were delicious. The booth was on the smaller side but we fit 3 adults in it okay. Really cozy and buzzy spot.

Rude owner or Hostess not sure. She kept sitting on the bench my date was on to chat with some customers in the next table. She was in the middle of us chatting loudly. We spent at least half our date listening to her talk to her customers in our small crowded bench area. I have never seen anything like this. We eventually called it an SNL skit. So unprofessional we didn’t even bother to complain. We are quickly and skipped dessert and rushed to get out of the door. I can’t even remember our meal the experience was too miserable to enjoy.
