"The menu looked amazing! Fresh food from the local area. Trendy items. Unfortunately, the menu only looked amazing, the food was not good at all. It was truly disappointing to pay $140 for 2 adults and one child to leave hungry and say that Chick-Fil-A would have been better.
The best part of the meal was my daughters fingerling potatoes! She loved them and everything else was subpar at best.
My mojito, was basically a margarita with mint in it. It was AWFUL! My husband had the lamb shank and said it was the worst tasting lamb he has ever had."

"I thought the restaurant seemed kind of cool and eclectic. We had a small choice of food items to choose from for lunch. The burger and fries were good. The service was very poor. The server barely came to our table and was not very pleasant. I forgot to place an order for soup and it took over 25 minutes for our server to return to the table so I could place the soup order. 5-10 minutes later our main course came out, but no soup. It took almost 1/2 hour for the soup to come out after placing the order. There was no attempt to apologize for the delay. I do not think I will be back to this restaurant to eat. I may consider coming back to watch live music and cocktails...maybe"

"I've been here before and had better service. The food is still good, but the service could have been ALOT better. The food took an hour to come out. Waitress didn't apologize."

"We used a Livng Social deal to check out the restaurant for the first time. We came for brunch. Food was delicious, however the service was slow. Our waffles were barely warm when they were served to us. We waited 20 minutes for our check; seems like when the rest of the bunch crowd arrived, our server forgot about us. The food was good enough I'll make a return visit, though..."

"Our meals were a little uneven. Some items were absolutely delicious (lobster macaroni, duck breast with scallions) and other items were surprisingly bland and lacking in flavor (butternut squash soup, eggplant side dish).
But the service was excellent. We were there on a non-band evening, so it was quiet for conversation. For some reason we were seated right by a back side door, so there was a constant stream of waitstaff circling in one direction or another. We saw them so often we began having conversations with them, lol."

"Our waitress was extremely rude and we left before we ordered anything to eat. I have never felt more insulted at a restaurant. I will not be returning or recommending it to anyone."

"Food came unevenly heated with cold vegetables and lukewarm scallops. Disappointing as the place looks great and the menu is interesting. 3 out of 4 dinners were unsatisfactory."

"This place has a solid menu but failed to live up to it. We started with the tuna tartare which is fantastic, but ended with the crispy eggplant sandwich which was soggy and very disappointing. With other great foodie choices in Annapolis I am not sure we will try again."

"Wine list very limited. Our server found a decent bottle of Pinot Noir. Server was very good, she did everything she Could to make our dining experience pleasant. Food was creatively prepared and very tasty. Unfortunately both the Calamari app. and Bouillabaisse were room temperature at best. Had to ask for a spoon to eat my entree. Sunday night, restaurant is closed on Mon. First thing our server tells us is that three items on the menu were not available. Too bad, could have been a WOW experience."

"Lots offered on menu but not offered -- beer, wine, food selections -- very strange and inexcusable since so prevalent. Waitstaff unapologetic ! Won't go back"

"Been here twice, both disappointing. Last time, they were out of almost everything, tables were uneven, lighting was horrible, waitresd didn't know the menu and wasn't checking up on us frequently, steaks and fish were cooked too much and grits tasted like it was instant. Overall a bad experience; had the parents meeting my boyfriend's parents for the first time; needless to say they didn't like the food either. Also, floors needed to be vacuumed and tables cleaned and level. We really wanted to make this Resteraunt our fav, but it just didn't perform at all levels. Won't be returning."

"Went for Valentines Day. Attentive service. They sat us in the bar even though there were tables in the restaurant itself. I decided not to ask since we were at the window. Food was good but not memorable."

"We had reservations for a Friday evening. Don't know how long we would have waited without one. The restaurant was full and had a vibrant crowd. Not necessarily the best place for intimacy, but it was comfortable and had a fun atmosphere. Our waiter was excellent - very attentive without being annoying. We had a calamari appetizer which we both agreed was the best we'd ever had. A very light batter and quick fry so that it was not greasy at all. For dinner we ordered the grilled scallops and the flat iron steak entrees and both were awesome. The potatoes that came with the steak were very good - almost like an au gratin but lighter. And the scallops were accompanied by a shredded leek slaw and butternut squash puree - both very nice."

"Great food and service. This was my second visit and I got the tuna tartare and side of truffle fries again despite all the other good options. They are both unique and ver well prepared. Top it off with a salad and glass of wine and its a perfect meal.
The place has a nice vibe but the bar area is way too noisy for conversation at a table"

"This was my first visit and last to Metropolitan. I was very disappointed with the food. I order a tuna burger and the description was not the tuna steak that was served. It was overcooked and dry. The service was slow."

"It's because we love this restaurant that we wanted to have our Valentine's Day dinner there. Unfortunately there was nothing on their website about a fixed price holiday menu, so we didn't get to order our favorites from the usual menu, which was a little bit of a downer. The only course that was really outstanding was the filet for the main course. Also, regarding noise, we were just unlucky in having a loud gentleman standing and talking to the couple at the table right next to us. The tables at the restaurant aren't that spread out, so for a while my fiance and I could barely hear each other talk. We basically had to yell our conversation to hear over the booming laughter a foot away. We'll be back, just not for a romantic dinner."

"We had dinner before a show upstairs. The service in the restaurant was excellent, but once you got upstairs for the concert, there was little seating (we were too old to stand all night) and only one bartender trying to serve people 3 rows deep waiting. I never got a drink, found an uncomfortable chair in the corner, and listened to some great Indie music. I think they're going for a young, Indie crowd. Too bad they're not the ones who spend money. Good luck!"

"Great farm-to-table restaurant concept with one of the best views in Annapolis from the huge rooftop deck! Lots of vegetarian options, which my husband tried and loved (the fig and goat cheese flatbread was a standout). I am a seafood lover and loved their take on fried oysters, served with a fennel cream that gave a lovely French note to the dish without taking it into frou-frou land. The lobster risotto was superb, a large portion, not to mention around $22.... a bargain on every level. Huge craft beer selection several of which we enjoyed immensely with our meal. We didn't have cocktails this time, but they were very unique and sounded delicious - we'll be coming back to try them and the rest of the menu very soon!"
