The Metropolitan Downtown

Over all an amazing experience! Service was amazing cocktails were great and the food was great! My one criticism is to stay away from the Parmesan truffle fries. There was no detectable parmesan and the truffle was only a fading hint. BUT I had the steak frittes and my wife had the swordfish both were Fantastic! The fish just melted in your mouth and their burre Blanc was phenomenal!

Burger was excellent. Salad had wilted pieces in it.

They always seem to miss the mark by about 30%. Just had their $45 Easter Brunch. They advertised bread pudding, no bread pudding. Croissants, no Croissants. The ad was riddled with spelling mistakes. The mimosas were watered down and flat. The salmon was dry. The veal was over cooked. The "breakfat" [sp] potatoes were under seasoned. "Avacado" [sp] toast was meh. The muffins were delicious, the shrimp was perfectly cooked, the crab legs were over cooked and no butter to be found. The desserts were good. I'm just being extra picky because of the price point. If it were $25, it would have been great. But for $45, it should have been better. I also went to the dualing pianos. A great time with talented musicians. However, they advertised dinner and drinks, but we had to ask them for menus. And we waited to be served for quite some time. We had 8 people with us, but we had to move the tables together ourselves. For an event in a beautiful setting, that costs money to attend, it should have just been better. The ambiance at The Met is beautiful and you can see that they think of themselves as fine dining, but they just don't hit the mark. If they could pull together those finishing touches, this would be an amazing place. For now, they're just ok, with potential to improve.
