The Amazing Food was unexpected beyond my Expectations...

by Mees at Citysearch

The BEST Salt Lake City Restaurant. I cannot begin to explain how fantastic the service was here. The food was unexpected and beyond my expectations. We are from Boston and I have NEVER been anywhere better. Our server Tara was beyond attentive, knew everything about the menu, and drinks. Because of her service and the amazing food I will be and make sure everybody from my corporate office who comes to visit knows about this amazing and innovative restaurant. Thank you for a great night.

I am never disappointed!

Time and time again they get it right. This time the chef came to the table to check on our dinner and we told him it was fabulous (because it was). I had the seared scallops with red quinoa falafel! For the Vegetarians they have a tofu with pesto and grapefruit. I love that the menu is always changing and that the food is amazing and consistent.

Monday Night is a Winner at the Met

by ericlarsolafson at Citysearch

Doesn't get better than this 'big town' scene in a fairly 'small town' situation. Secret's out that the Met is the spot. On Monday's, and for locals. The special 3 or 5 course menu is not a watered down version of the usual, it's the full deal. Actually, my sense from several, happy visits on Monday's is it's even better. Not to mention no corkage!

We always feel that the Met provides a high end dining experience on a SLC budget, and that's stated as a fact, not a qualification. Local, personable ownership and engaging staff compete with a restaurant ambience that's arguably on par with anything out there (really). Total experience is typically 5 star, and only sometimes 4 star.

Fabulous Night!

I was very surprised to see the review listed below. I was there with 3 of my girlfriends the same night and we had a fabulous time! Great service, great company, and the DJ was SO cute. We were planning on starting our evening at the Met and going on to Green Street, but we actually ended up coming back to the Met! There were definitely some people getting their drink on, but that's why they call it "Thirsty Thursday at the Metropolitan" right?! The balance of great cocktails, friendly service, fun music, and a classy group of people resulted in such a fun night.

Always a disappointment

by 1utefan at Citysearch

Tried ONE more time to see if they've gotten anything right yet, and still the same result - horrible. We love the look and style of the restaurant, but that's where our love ends...

I'm a huge foodie who travels and eats out constantly. This place can't even plate the dishes to at least "look" good!

Last night, the wedge salad come on top of two large, beer battered onion rings. The lettuce was warm and almost wilted. I asked for ketchup to at least salvage the onion rings! If I wanted beer batter onion rings, I would have gone to the Oyster Bar! But I wanted a "crisp" wedge salad, which didn't happen.

We tried the panko coated soft shell crab, but I could not make out any panko crumbs, but instead stared at the oil soaked soft shell crab, which obviously didn't get cooked at a high enough temperature. So here's this oil soaked tiny soft shell crab on this huge plate w/ no dipping sauce or anything else to at least dress the plate. It was an eye sore to say the least! We asked for our check and went next door to finish our meal.

The owner did manage to came over and talk to us, but not a smile or kind word of apology came from her.

Moral to story: Don't keep trying, it will still be disappointing! Time after time after time!
