An all around pleasant experience. Jeremy and the entire staff took great care of us from their wine knowledge to helping us navigate the revamped dinner menu. Glad we chose Metropole for my girlfriend's birthday celebration dinner.
Andre
Love, love, love! Metropole is on par and in some respespects better than the other 21c restaurants we've dined in! Btw, "Cassie" was amazing and added that personal touch to our experience!

The food was absolutely delicious, with each dish expertly prepared and full of flavor. The service was attentive, friendly, and made us feel genuinely welcome throughout our meal. The drinks were well balanced perfectly. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience that we'd happily repeat. They accommodated our tight timeline to see a musical at the Aronoff.

Let me start by saying we normally enjoy dinner there before a show. This was different. It seems our ticket was lost and after waiting almost an hour for our orders to arrive, we complained - only to find out it wasn't put in. So, since we had tickets to a play that would be starting shortly, we asked for our order "to go." The manager apologized and was kind enough to say it was on them. It was still a disappointment.
Mac
Stellar dinner and service after the Aronoff. Great wine, just wish I had read the prices carefully. 2 glasses=$42.00. My bad, but a bottle would have been a better value.

We had a rough start after being seated. No menu or drink order for at least 10 minutes after being seated. We were getting nervous since we were going to the ballet across the street that night. When a manager realized what was happening he more than made up with complimentary bread and his personal attention the rest of the evening. The food was terrific and we made it to the show with time to spare. This is an under appreciated spot in downtown Cincinnati!

I ate breakfast/brunch here a few times during my stay. Overall, the food quality was good, but not too varied. One morning I was served berries that were moldy. Coffee was ok. Cappuccino was mediocre. Service was sometimes slow.

First time here. We were greeted and seated immediately and the waiter brought water and took our drink order very timely. Although things were ticking off quickly, we never felt rushed or pressured at all. The food was eclectic and a different preparation than the usual “go to” at a lot of establishments. I will say the menu is very limited. We had the crab tots appetizers, we wife had the beef shoulder and I had the duck. All was presented beautifully, hot, and very good. We did buy an order of bread for the table (I still think bread should be gratis). By dessert we were both full; but the waiter treated us to dessert anyway! The meal was completed with lemon cotton candy! Overall, a bit pricy; but a very enjoyable dinner.
The service was outstanding! Matt was very attentive and helped make a birthday celebration fun. The food was phenomenal! Dining with a penguin and ending the meal with in-house made cotton candy was an experience we'll never forget!!

My absolute favorite restaurant in all of Cincinnati The new menu is unbelievable. The beer cheese appetizer was a fun, interactive experience. The short rib was perfectly cooked and beautifully tender. The new chicken entree was this poultry lover's perfect plate- crispy, tender and juicy. As we were celebrating a birthday, the management sent over a complimentary desert. It was an extraordinary little glazed donut. My nephew remarked, ´That ruined Krispy Kreme for life.' We were blown away by our evening. Metropole hits on all cylinders - service, cuisine, culture and ambience.

My grandson likes this restaurant (he's 11), but there have to be some changes in protocol. We had reservations for lunch yesterday; I began receiving reminders 24+ hours in advance, then a series of ‘warnings': my reservation would be held for only 10 minutes, we had to order, eat, and pay in one hour or less (so that other diners could be seated). Plus more reminders! When we arrived at 12:15 pm yesterday, we were the ONLY diners in the entire room. No greeter at front desk, seat yourself sign. When I told a server about the relentless reminders that escalated to warnings, she said ‘those are automated'. That is the worst excuse ever! Then no desserts available at lunch which is now brunch. No dessert! The whole thing was off putting. Doesn't anyone review these processes? Btw—good cheese omelet and grandson liked his breakfast meal.

quite possibly my favorite restaurant in the entire world. multiple things I've had here (especially the salmon) are the best I've ever had

Outstanding. We had a lovely dinner here before our event at The Aronoff. Our waiter was cognizant of our time limitations and orchestrated our dinner seamlessly. He was wonderfully attentive and gracious. All of our food was delicious, however the fresh asparagus salad, gnocchi and chicken dishes were outstanding. Lovely dining room and ambiance. Just loved it.
