Editorial Review for Metropolitan – by Jordana Brown
The Scene
Diners are greeted by a wall of awards, each of which is well-deserved. The decor is fresh and hip (check out the hypnotic, colorful abstract images projected on the walls), and the angle of the tables makes the most of the smallish dining room. The waitstaff moves with seemingly choreographed grace.
The Food
The menu changes with the seasons, but just about anything that comes out of the open kitchen is worth savoring. Start with either Caesar salad--a huge chunk of romaine wrapped in a Parmesan tuile and drizzled with classic dressing--or Mizuna salad, a tangy-smoky melody of arugula, apples and thick bacon. The grouper in a delicate roasted garlic and lemon cream sauce, and the black bass sauteed with tomatoes and artichoke hearts, will satisfy any fish-fiend's appetite, while meat lovers should try the rich, tender Utah elk, gently seared and served with cherry-sage butter.

Upon a recommendation from a friend, my husband and I decided to try out the Metropolitan. Being very particular with our taste in food, we were anticipating at least one plate that neither of us agreed with-this was not the case. The food was fantastic- the appetizers, greens, main dishes and desserts left nothing to be desired. Not to be out done by the food, the wait staff was prompt, courteous, knowledgable and extremly professional. If your looking for upscale dining, the Metropolitan is the place.
Pros: The food and the wait staff were amazing.
Cons: None.

The only place in Utah I can take my out of town guests and not feel like an SLC hick. Keep up the good work! I will be back!
Pros: The staff made me feel like a rockstar
Cons: can't think of any
