Metropolitan Kitchen & Lounge

Went for a industry party & had a great time. Can't judge the service accurately but the people who worked there were very nice. Chilly rooftop deck in October, cause of course it is, but they have heaters.

Second time here, even better than the first. To start, I’ll quote my fiancée: “this is the only time I’ve ever commented on a mimosa where it wasn’t a comment about the alcohol.” The orange juice is so fresh, it’s like they plucked an orange from the tree out back to make the drink. The guava mimosa is also fantastic. To be clear, the mimosas are not pure juice, you’re getting your money’s worth.
Food-wise, you’re gonna get an abundance of lox if you order the Lox Benedict, they don’t scrimp. And can we please just call them “Delicious Potatoes” already? Calling them homefries is a huge disservice to these perfectly cooked, impressively seasoned potatoes. Finally, I had chopped ham in my omelette and it was independently seasoned and clearly not from the store, which may be nothing except that it demonstrates the care to which the chef(s) give each part of the meal. All around, A++ food.
Lastly, rockstar service. The manager (possibly owner?) checked in after the food was served, which is always a nice gesture. He’s a good guy. Hostesses and waitresses also fantastic, right amount of attention without being annoying - said as a compliment, of course - meaning we weren’t constantly or unnecessarily being interrupted while also always having a beverage. A+ service.

Frankly, this is the place you bring guests and your parents when they’re in town because it will be a meal they recall years later, or where you bring your significant other for a nice meal at a solid price.

At first glance, this just looks like a typical kind of streetside bar/restaurant that you'd think serves some good beer & hard drinks and maybe a nice burger. But boy, the chef and the kitchen punch WAY above their weight. You'll find burgers (including a lamb burger), but you'll also find delectable shared plates like herb-mint whipped feta spread with hot honey and grilled figs, perfectly cooked scallops served over polenta with a luxurious treatment that leaves them looking less like sea and more like little medallions of filet, and truffle cream gnocchi. There are many Spanish-inspired creations and lots of variety, including some outstanding vegan entries. Well worth a visit.

First time in Annapolis and found this place by searching some reviews. It did not disappoint. It was a bit of a walk from the downtown, Waterfront area where we were staying but very doable. We went on a Thursday night at 7 and had a reservation but probably would have been fine without one. It wasn't too crowded. Seemed like a neighborhood type of crowd. Service was friendly and efficient. Food was delicious. We ordered a bunch of small plates to share. My favorite was the truffle gnocchi! Also had the octopus, brussel sprouts, and scallops. Everything was cooked perfectly and so tasty.

Can't say enough about my experience here. Everything was perfect. If only there was a dumb waiter for the dj equipment. 😆

Great rooftop spot! Food is Delicious! The Seabass Fingers and Lamb Lollipops are my favorites.

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.

This restaurant has really lovely entrées and shareable dishes for a reasonable price. Their drinks are also delicious with a decent variety to choose from. Breakfast and lunch are quite busy, but dinner was mostly peaceful. Good service.

We happened to be staying at the Hilton Garden Inn across the street, and were looking for a quiet place to grab some brunch. The atmosphere wasn't exactly quiet, in fact it was quite lively, but it didn't deter us. We were seated in the bar area, but waited nearly 10 minutes before I asked the hostess if someone would be greeting us. Shortly after that our server introduced herself, and it was smooth sailing and great service from there on out. We ordered a Bloody Mary, a Flatbread, and the star of the show, the Ultimate Breakfast Sandwhich, served with the most amazing crispy red skin breakfast potatoes. Everything was delicious. I'll let the photos do the talking. Would definitely return, but maybe sit in the dining room for a more relaxed experience. Parking is available in the garage a few buildings down.

Gorgeous food at great prices!! The spinach salad, lobster bisque and penne alla vodka were 🔥🔥 And the staff were all so friendly! I’ve been in Annapolis for a few years and don’t know how I missed this place. My new favorite for sure!!!

I hosted my 30th birthday party at Metro, and they did an amazing job! Tom was so great to work with, and his staff was fantastic and made sure everything ran smoothly and were so kind and friendly to my guests. The food and drinks were great, the bartenders made a signature drink for my space/Saturn return themed party and the food and dessert looked so nice. Awesome event, highly recommend! Thanks Tom and Metro staff!!! ❤

Overall a great experience. Alex our waiter was very pleasant, knew the menu well, and helped us decide between all of the tasty sounding options. We had brunch and were already planning what we would have next time. If you like thin NY-style breaded chicken cutlet then try the chicken sandwich.

Had a wonderful dinner with friends last night on the rooftop. Loved the general vibe of the place and the menu has sooooo many options and the portions are perfect. Four of us shared Prosecco and a bunch of plates including octopus, burrata, scallops, salmon, crab cakes, and a couple other things I’m sure I’m forgetting to mention. We didn’t leave one bit on the table it was so delicious! They were also super busy but our server kept great pace and was an excellent communicator.

Enjoyed the rooftop and the food was excellent. Good sized portions for the price.

We have enjoyed a couple of meals here now. We tried the octopus, scallops, and braised short ribs most recently. All of our food came out in a timely manner and our server was lovely.

My friend and I stopped in on a whim to get a couple drinks and were impressed. The decor and environment was very nice, and they also have balcony seating on the roof. The drink selection was great, and we ended up getting an appetizer that was so delicious we'll end up going back for (the fig and bacon flatbread).

The food was great! The lamb lollipops were excellent. Cocktails were good too. A great spot for happy hour or dinner

Delicious food and wonderful atmosphere. We loved the appetizers, perfect size to share and enjoy. The truffle gnocchi and the lamb lollipops are absolutely amazing.

What an enchanted evening! We hosted our son's wedding rehearsal dinner on the "rooftop" of the Metropolitan Annapolis. The event was perfect. Tom was so patient and accomodating and wonderful to work with via email since we live in California. The evening transitioned from the rehearsal dinner to a Welcome Party for all wedding guests. The food was delicious no matter what our guests chose from the selected menu. All the servers and bartenders were terrific. The evening set the stage for a Wedding Weekend that we will always remember. So grateful for Tom and his team!!

One more of my favorite places in Annapolis. Easy walk from the neighborhood and the food in awesome, especially brucnh. Their $11 bottomless mimosas and bloodies are probably the best value in town too. You alterante between the two and they definitely don't hold back on the champagne/vodka just because they're bottomless!
