    We really enjoyed Metropolitan Kitchen & Lounge. We were in town for a wedding and went there for drinks and late night snacks and didn't realize we had a reservation the next day for brunch! We were happy to go back again. I will say we had a better experience with the dinner menu versus the brunch. The highlights for us were the pork belly bites, brussel sprouts and the octopus. Honestly there's nothing we had on the dinner menu that wasn't amazing and the drinks were fabulous too! Brunch we had a mix of the crab Benedict, breakfast tacos, biscuits and gravy. Everything was good but the egg in the Benedict was over cooked. They offered to fix it and refunded us which was amazing. Customer service was great and it's just a super cute bar/restaurant! We will definitely try it again next time we are in town!

    Multiple floors including a rooftop

    Was staying along the historic street and stumbled upon the Metropolitan one night. They looked to have a happy hour that had an assortment of different foods as well as drinks. The drinks on happy hour were canned beers but that didn't stop me. I also loved that the had a rooftop as well with such a beautiful view of the small town vibe. For appetizers we got an assortment of 5 different things, however one that stood out to me was the grilled octopus. It was cooked perfect and had a fantastic sauce on it. I would definitely order that again. The pulled pork sliders were also really good. They were sold out of a few options when there but it has to be because of how great the food was. The service was also prompt and attentive so I would gladly come back one day if in the area again.

    Tuna poke w wontons. Amazing!

    I love this place. We go here for happy hour whenever we are in A Town for a show up the street. Yesterday we dropped in around 6 for Tuesday's all day happy hour (usually 4-6). Beer specials are cans but great selection. Wife and I started with Tuna Poke w homemade wonton crisps. Incredible and great portions. Chips were fantastic. We each had the lamb chops small plate that comes w mashed tators. The good food,the value, the great people that work there make it our fave.

    Espresso martini and the chicken and biscuits

    Food and drinks were absolutely delicious! The chicken and biscuits were enough for two people to share and a must get! My friends also enjoyed the avocado toast, breakfast tacos, and the eggs Benedict with the crab cake.

    Nice atmosphere. We were able to sit on the rooftop to enjoy the live band. Beware: You have to walk up maybe 4/5 flights of stairs to get there. We were greeted and seated immediately. The staff were friendly and very prompt. We had the gnocchi and scallops as appetizers. The scallops along with the grits stole the show. The flavor was amazing! They are small and you only get 3. Who can I talk to about increasing the number to 5?? the gnocchi was tasty as well. They gave you enough for that to be a main dish. For our mains we had the rockfish and beef short ribs. The fish was really good. I didn't care for the sweet potato mash. The ribs were tender. The flavor wasn't bad at all but It wasn't hitting like the flavor of the scallops. I would come back to visit just for the appetizers.

    Date night. Great spot ! Staff was amazing. The manager checked on us a few times. And we got a free dessert for our anniversary. Thank You

    Roof top vibes

    Yummy shareables, Great ambiance, happy hour Tuesday drinks and Great customer service (thanks Mylie) = a positive yelp experience. Come out and enjoy Marylands finest lagers while enjoying the rooftop. I highly recommend the Fig and goat cheese flatbread and the Birria flatbread. Thumbs up as I'm stuffing myself. Definitely a place to stop by to enjoy the night life!

    Super nice spot for a rooftop meal! The truffle gnocchi was SO good. The Brussel sprouts looked great, so next time will also try those. The French dip sandwich was good, bread was slightly soggy on the but otherwise no complaints, good flavors! The potatoes stole the show though. Also happy hour is all day on Tuesday, which was lovely!

    Such an amazing dining experience! I found Metropolitan Kitchen and Lounge while looking for a spot to meet my friend who was visiting Annapolis. Their Tuesday all night happy hour immediately caught my eye so I booked a reservation. We got there a bit early and was immediately seated with a perfect view of the cute bar and wall art. The servers were so attentive and helpful, making recommendations about good items on the menu. The drinks came out very quickly and the were great! The share platters were also wonderful. I tried the eggplant caponata which was served with delicious fluffy bread. Chris, the manager, was checking on patrons and made sure everything was perfect! We couldn't have asked for a better night out thanks to the Metropolitan Kitchen & Lounge.

    Service was great. We loved the rooftop and the food was AMAZING! We can't wait to come back and try more items. Presentation was wonderful for all starters. Great Wednesday night 1/2 wine deal as well!

    Filet Sliders (one of their new specials).
    Sarah K.

    We came here on a Friday night. They were not too busy. We didn't have a reservation and were seated right away. Our waitress was great. She was super friendly and nice. The service time was average. The manager Chris was nice. He came by our table a couple times and asked us how we were doing and asked for feedback. It was a pretty little restaurant. However it was a little dark. Our food was good. We had the Braised Ribs. It was good. We also got two of their specials: TRUFFLE GNOCCHI CHOWDER, and FILET SLIDERS (steak filet). They were good too. Also for dessert we ordered VANILLA CREME BRULEE. It was delicious. We had a nice dinner. I recommend coming here.

    WOW!! This was such a nice place to eat in downtown Annapolis! Super friendly staff and very nice interior. The food was incredible! I especially enjoyed the charcuterie board we ordered, super tasty and well worth the price!

On our most recent visit, we ordered the charcuterie board, pork belly, short ribs, and steamed mussels. The charcuterie board is always nice, and the food overall was very good. The pork belly and short ribs gave the meal some richer, heavier flavors, while the mussels helped round things out. The only downside this time was the service. Normally service here is good, but our waiter was really slow during this visit. It was also louder than usual, possibly because of a party or larger group nearby. That is not usually our experience here, so I'd treat it more as an off night than a reason not to return. Still a good spot, and we'll go back.

Hotel is modern, luxurious looking. .75 miles to downtown, waterfront Annapolis. 2 hours, 15 minutes to Ocean City, MD. Room: Spacious with a little couch. Refrigerator and coffeemaker with Starbucks coffee filter packs. Microwave near the ice machine. Luxurious White tea smelling bath products which reminded me of the Bulgari bath products we used to get in Celebrity suites. I took the soap which lasted me a week and still looks good - non-drying. One bottle of complementary water. Amenities: - Indoor pool and hot tub (felt hot). Nice gym - Stunning circular bar and fireplace. Drinks were pricy. - Shuttle to downtown can be picked up outside the hotel and to the right. Runs every 20 minutes on the hour. - Restaurants on-site but we went across the street to Carpaccio Tuscan Kitchen & Wine Bar which was fantastic - make reservations. Things to Note: - City garage for parking and you will need to pay by scanning the QR code with your phone to start the timer for your car (remember your license number). It took several tries to connect to the website and get it to work. When you leave, you just drive out and it recognizes your car. - Our room had a connecting door. I could hear the parents and child's talking while I were in the bathroom. This is a beautiful, comfortable hotel, and I would stay here again to visit Annapolis or on my way to Ocean City.

It took a while for our server to greet us even though he appeared to only take orders, deliver drinks, and deliver the check while food delivery were handled by a dedicated food runner. Our starter, the crab avocado stack was beautifully plated. The sweet remoulade overpowered the naturally sweet blue crab and the crispy wontons were tasty but were very oily. The beet salad had an excessive amount of raw white onions on top, but the mixed greens and beets tasted fresh. The middle of the flatbread was undercooked which was more soggy than crisp with what tasted like an unseasoned can red sauce. The Mahi Mahi Rachel was unique spin on a standard Rachel sandwich. The blackened Mahi was just okay and oddly enough, the mouth feel of the Mahi was indiscernible from the slaw. I was a bit taken back that the slaw on the Mahi Mahi Rachel contained golden raisins and what looked like cranberries - neither of which were called out on the menu. The tomato and cucumber salad side lacked seasoning despite what appeared to be flakes of "Italian seasoning".

My companion decided on the lobster bisque, grilled halibut and lemon creme brûlée. I had the crispy fish Sammie (regular menu). The lobster bisque was velvety and thick with tender chunks of lobster and not heavy. The fish was flaky and tender, with hints of lemon over roasted Brussel sprouts. The dessert (not pictured) had a soft creamy custard texture with hints of lemon, topped by caramelized crunchy sugar shell. The fish sandwich was a barramundi filet fried and put in a brioche bun with bacon jam, remoulade and arugula. The remoulade had a nice kick. The fish was very fresh and has a great crunchy breaded exterior. The fries that accompanied the dish were also very good (generous portion). Service was impeccable and attentive.
