I hosted a board of directors meeting here and it was amazing. The second floor space was more than enough for our group of 25. The atmosphere was relaxing and food was delicious. We enjoyed getting to know the staff members and they did a great job taking care of us. If you are looking for a space to host a private event, I highly recommend.

Went here for brunch with a bachelorette party on a Saturday morning. We had a reservation but there seemed to be some confusion about seating us because there was also a bachelorette party of the same size at the same time. We ended up shoved against the front window in a U-shaped configuration, so the first person to sit had to squeeze past the rest of the party to enter/leave the table.The food was very good (I loved the brussels sprouts) but our meals did not come out at the same time; one person was left waiting to be served for about 5 minutes after the rest of us received our food.We all got bottomless drinks as well. The bottomless drinks have a 2-hour time limit but the service was slow, either intentionally or not, and a lot of that 2 hours was waiting for refills or service. Also the prices on their website and on the menus were incorrect. Some menus displayed different and significantly cheaper prices. I ordered a bottomless bloody Mary under the impression that it was $16. This was confirmed by the menu in my hand and the website. But when I got the check it was actually $20. That's a pretty steep difference. And then the waitress gave us a hard time about splitting the bill, and said that the other large party split their bill... Okay, so do it again? Not sure why that should have even mattered.Overall I would say my experience was positive but there are definitely some things they need to work out and update.

Great local bar and restaurant. Tasty lamb burger and a good choice of local brews. Rooftop patio in the summer. Crew was friendly, especially Christian and Nico. I'll be back!

We recently hosted a baby shower party for our daughter at the Metropolitan Kitchen & Lounge in Annapolis. The staff made this event incredibly memorable, and it was easy to arrange and pull off. The food and drinks were fantastic, and the service was the best. Thanks so much to Tom Hanna and his staff. :-)

Went for restaurant week and it was really good! Lots of great options. We will be back so we can try more! Our server was very attentive and the manager checked in a couple times. The drinks were good as well. Will be back for rooftop too! Such a cool vibe
Wow! THIS is how you treat your customers. When we arrived for our reservation the place was packed - every table was occupied. The party seated at our table overstayed their time. While we had to wait a half hour past our reservation to be seated, Metropolitan's staff treated us wonderfully! Erin & Gigi arranged for us to have cocktails. Our server Rachel was wonderful. When they were out of the wine we ordered, Gigi provided us a superb alternative from the wine cellar. They went over and beyond to make up for us having to wait. And by the way, the food was worth the wait! The diver scallops and the eggplant caponata were perfect. The duck confit was prepared to perfection and my short ribs were melt-in-your-mouth delicious. We ended the evening with the chocolate grenache and the sponge cake, a fitting end to our dinner. By the way, while we were waiting a table did come available in the bar area. The bar was lively and energetic and we wanted a quieter table so we waited for the dining area (and were happy we did). The Annapolis Restaurant Week menu was what attracted us to Metropolitan. The way the staff took care of us and the delicious offerings are why we will be back. Thank you!

What a find! This restaurant rocks the food is delicious, the ambiance is perfect and the drinks are nicely done. Our servers were also attentive. They have small plates and big plates. My favorite was the octopus. Flavorful and cooked just right; not too chewy just tender enough. Octopus has got to be one of the hardest things to cook correctly. Friend had a burger and she loved it. Seriously go and try it. So happy we came. A new Annapolis favorite. Five stars!

Friday 2.16.24 i hosted my birthday dinner on the rooftop of this resturant. When i say the service was 10/10 i mean that. The staff was so helpful and professional. From the day i inquired about the space to the day of my event they were on it. the food was a 10, all the guest loved. everything was fresh. The bartenders were amazing, best green tea shots i evert had. Tom and Gigi were absolutely amazing. I cant wait to host another event here. Thank you so much to the staff for making my birthday event so special.

I stopped in last night to get a bite , didn't realize walk ins not accepted until 8pm. Luckily I got a spot at the bar! Served right away with water and my drink order- excellent selections. I went with the short rib French dip...5 stars. It literally melted in my mouth. Ambiance was cozy, yet comforting,will be back.

Always a good choice. Convenient location on West St. Surrounded by hotels, restaurants & bars.
