The compote was excellent I didn't need the syrup but it was a nice to have just in case. The service was also great! We had a trainee and she was very nice and helpful (even if she was new). I believe management also came around to check on everything but with nothing to complain about it was a quick chat. We were able to sit outside to enjoy the weather which is a nice bonus. The inside is a bit dark in ambiance but it does have a wonderful mood setting for a dinner or an event. Speaking of events, we had a wedding dinner here earlier this month and everything was beyond perfect from the staff, drinks, and food. Everyone had a wonderful time and I couldn't thank them enough! This will definitely become a go to spot.

Our group of 7 had reservations for 7:00pm a couple of Fridays ago. When we arrived, we pulled up…read moreto the valet, handed him our keys, and walked in right on time. We were seated immediately in the room toward the back left corner where we were the only table occupying the space. In fact, as the evening progressed, no other diners/groups were seated back there, which was nice. We observed that although it was a Friday evening at prime dinner hour, the restaurant never got too full nor was the bar area buzzing. Again, it was nice that it wasn't so hectic in there, but we noted that as curious for a spot like this, on a Friday evening, and when the weather was pleasant. Starting with a high point: our server was really good. He was a very nice young man who let us know at the end of our meal that it was actually his first day on the job. While we could tell he didn't know everything about the menu - which is totally understandable given him being a new hire - he was kind, personable, and went above and beyond to provide excellent and timely service. As for the venue, it was nice although not upscale and that was just our speed for this evening. We loved having the room to sit comfortably at a setup that could comfortably seat 8. As for the food, it was decent although I wouldn't call anything I tasted fantastic. For apps, we shared 2 orders apiece of calamari, crab cakes, and lamb chops (6 apps total) with the chops being my favorite out of those. The calamari were small and didn't pack a lot of flavor but they were fried well. The marinara sauce that came with it was also fine but not remarkable. The crab cakes were a little mushy for our liking. For my entrée, I ordered the Lobster Rigatoni. There was plenty of lobster on top, the portion was more than solid, and it came out at the right temperature but the flavor again failed to really impress and was somewhere between "fine" to "good". For dessert, I ordered the chocolate lava cake, and I was truly disappointed by that. For starters, there was no gooey "lava" as the name implied, and the edges were dry and seemed overcooked. The flavor again fell a little flat and I didn't bother to finish it even though I am usually a huge fan of chocolate desserts. All in all, we had an enjoyable evening as a crew, but the food could be elevated a bit from a flavor standpoint. I would give the food a little better than a "3" but I think they have enough going for them that amping up the flavors could do wonders for their desirability and drawing more diners.

Each had its own cozy holiday twist and honestly set the tone for the whole meal. For food, the short rib tacos were the standout. Packed with flavor and dipped in a super tasty aioli, they were easily our favorite. The buffalo chicken sliders were another win, perfectly crispy and served with fries. The chicken club with sweet potato fries felt fresh, light, and still really satisfying. We wrapped up with the Santa Fe salad, loaded, refreshing, and dressed in a great balsamic vinaigrette. If you haven't been to Downtown Café yet, it's definitely a spot worth checking out -- great vibes, great flavors, and perfect for a casual meal with really good food.

There are five tv screens and one bar. There is also a cozy fireplace surrounded by armchairs. Each of the many tables accommodate about four to six people. There is also a grand piano and a dance floor. Outside, there is a patio for outdoor dining that has many heat lamps. I came here at 4pm when the restaurant opens and Happy Hour begins. I was the only patron there. Rekha, who co-owns this restaurant with her husband Raj, greeted me as soon as I walked in the door. She explained that the crowd really begins around 6 p.m. Adam the bartender prepared me a refreshingly good Cucumber Elderflower Gimlet. Greg the chef made a juicy and delicious 16 oz.

Greg told me that he is a graduate of NYIT. If ever you are looking for an event venue or for a place to hang out after work, check out Metropolitan Bar and Restaurant. It is certainly worth a try because the staff is friendly and accommodating, and the food is good.

Had a birthday dinner at this restaurant last Thursday evening that had some problems, especially…read morewith service. In all honesty, I had not eaten here in a few years. The restaurant was moderately full, but not as full as one would think leading up to a holiday weekend. My party of 4 always enjoys a cocktail before dinner. We were seated promptly for our 7:30pm reservation, and we placed our drink orders soon after. What is unforgivable and truly amazing given that the restaurant was not super busy is that it took over 35 minutes to get those drinks. There are really no words for this. While perusing the menu, I asked one of the bus people if I could have a wine list as our server was no where to be found. She acknowledged me with a nod, but then went off and about clearing tables, totally disregarding my request. After several minutes upon realizing that my request was being blatantly ignored, I had to go up to the bar area myself to request a wine list. At this point, the same bus person saw me doing this and looked panicked. I am not sure if she did not speak English or if she was a tad slow and/or incompetent, but again, inexcusable. The meal for the most part was decent, but prices had definitely gone up quite a bit from my last visit. Maybe that might explain why the restaurant was not that busy. As a final note, the restaurant made no acknowledgment of my birthday, even though it was stated quite clearly in my reservation. Oh well, not the end of the world, but reflective of the way this establishment is managed. Overall, I cannot say that I had a totally poor experience, but I can honestly say that I did not have a great experience either.
