Metro Pole - Scorrier United Kingdom

I usually head over here for a couple drinks before going to the Arnoff and it's always enjoyable! They are usually busy, but the Team is very attentive and you don't have to wait long for service. Drinks are switched up frequently and make for fun afternoon/evening. The interior is nice dim a little moody, which is always nice.

Came in for my 25th birthday everything was great! Jeremy, our server, was awesome!! Smoked chicken and grilled ribeye were yummy. Definitely get the potatoes and cabbage as sides, full of flavor.

We love Metropole! We stayed at 21C for a week last year for my birthday. We ate at Metropole once. We revisited this past Monday for dinner before a show. I love the ambiance of Metropole. It 's comfortable and low-key, yet still quite fancy. I do love that the dress code is 'casual '. That said, there were some folks there dressed to the nines. Last year I remember the Crispy Deviled Eggs and Tuna Tartar. The deviled eggs are outstanding. I 'm sorry we didn 't get them again. We did, however, order the Tuna Tartar, which is a little flavor bomb! One of the best bites of the night. We did order oysters with raspberry cocktail sauce. It was a special and it certainly sounded delicious. They didn 't hit the mark for us. The sauce was good, but the oysters were the slightest bit sandy and tasted more of the ocean than I 'd prefer. I considered giving four stars just because of this dish, but everything else about Metropole is truly great. I started with a Hocus Pocus cocktail, which included a house made curry syrup. The last ingredient on the menu is magic . This cocktail is truly magical. The flavors are difficult to explain. Suffice to say, it 's unlike any cocktail any of us have ever tasted before. For dinner we ordered the Herb Brined Chicken and the Black Hawk Smash Burger. The chicken was fantastic. The chicken itself was moist and flavorful. The burnt carrot risotto was cooked to perfection. Everything else on the plate combined with the chicken was extraordinary. It was SO good! And... it was a LOT of food. Much as I tried, I still left a bit of the risotto behind. Mark thoroughly enjoyed his burger. He raved about everything, including the bun, which was apparently soft and actually had flavor that supported the burger itself. I can attest the fries were great because I stole a few from his plate. On to dessert. Last time we were here they had a corn ice cream that was unique and out of this world. On Monday I had a dip of chocolate and a dip of pumpkin. The ice cream melts exactly how a high end ice cream should. Mark ordered the Mocha Mousse, which as a nice size dessert that was simply delicious. I got a few bites. The mocha flavor was very present and the crunchy crust was fantastic with the more smooshy mousse. I absolutely recommend the Mocha Mousse dessert. Our waitress was kind and attentive with the perfect amount of attention for our dining needs. There are so many things we haven 't tried, we will have to come back again and again.

Great ambiance and service. The salmon was cooked perfectly! To note I was confused by the accompaniments, and my potatoes and lentils were undercooked. However, neither was enough to dissuade me from reordering as the salmon was absolutely delicious.

Visited tonight with family for a pre show dinner. (Just across the street from the Aronoff). We arrived early and took advantage of the hotel museum while our table was being prepared. We were seated on tine for our reservation and given a host (David) who was attentive and considerate about pacing ourselves to get to the show on time. To start, we ordered a bit of everything for the table bread, deviled eggs, blackened peppers, cheese and jam with toast, and oysters on the half shell. It was all great and fun that the table got to experiment with foods. We all tried something different for our main course and did a little sharing steak, salmon, duck, and the excellent recommendation of the rigatoni bolognese. While we were pressed for time we still managed an olive oil cake with whipped cream and fig sauce for dessert YUM Wonderful evening, food, and service. If you are headed downtown or to a show at the Aronoff this would be a place to try!
