Metropolitan Kitchen & Lounge

We have dined here twice. Both times we were highly disappointed. We wont be back. Lets start with the good. The Brussels were amazing (although a little spicer the second round...yes we ordered two.) and the rock fish was a crowd pleaser. The kids burger was very large and we split it for our kids. The side fruit that came with it seemed fresh cut and had a great variety. Now the bad...Gluten free menu online but not in restaurant. They had a few selections but they didn't seem polished with this and we were celebrating a birthday for someone with an allergy. We selected this place thinking it would be easy for them. My husband didn't like the chicken sandwich. It was thin and extra crispy. My beet and blue salad was large but not very good. The scallops were okay but very salty. Last visit our lamb lollipops were served cold but we overlooked it thinking it was because we ordered quite a bit. We requested roof deck seating with our reservations and in the restaurant upon arriving and both times we were not successful. There was a party our most recent trip and I cant remember the reasoning for the first visit. This was a big bummer since it was a gorgeous night and there is outdoor dining right down the street. Our hostess informed us yesterday that you can't request location of seating in a reservation (phone and online). Surprising since we had but good knowledge to pass along.

Disappointed! I am eating gluten-free and vegetarian for this month for a health reason. I ordered the roasted eggplant Parmesan and was told they were out of that today. They only have about six items on the menu for someone who is GF and V and three of those are salads. I didn’t want the veggie tacos so I got Brussel sprouts. They were swimming in maple syrup - way too much. I regrettably ordered a salad since they didn’t have the eggplant. It was a huge bowl of lettuce with a small amount of feta, about four small cherry tomatoes, 5 slices of cucumber and some red onion. I was highly frustrated and disappointed that they didn’t have enough selections for someone like me. Don’t eat here if you have food restrictions like I do.
