I stopped in at the Metropolitan Grill on impulse with a co-worker while in Calgary for business. Neither of us was familiar with downtown dining and we needed a place to grab a quick late lunch before heading home. The restaurant was deserted at 3 pm (which isn't surprising), but our service was quite a bit slower than I expected. I think I was initially put off by our waitress because my dining partner was in the middle of speaking when she came over, and her annoyance that he finished his thought instead of stopping immediately to address her was apparent.
The atmosphere is very modern, with low lighting and small tables. The menu had a lot of variety on it, with steep prices for all the items. I got a chicken burger, and while it was good, it was nothing special. It certainly wasn't worth $17. We waited quite a while for our food to arrive, and I was finished more than half my burger before the waitress came to check on us after we got our food. Bottom line: food was overpriced, and service was neither quick nor friendly.
