| - Honestly, I kind of went into the Metro Grill not expecting too much. Probably because I've never heard of anybody having a mind-blowing experience at one and I only ever hear complaints. However, on a quest to try a few more elevated patios, this was pretty close to my apartment so I figured, why not? Impressed, I was.
The food was above average, we had the fish tacos and the number 42, which was a Asian lemon chicken dish. Upon questioning why the dish has such a strange name, the waitress actually asked the chef. Apparently, the lemon chicken is no. 42 on the menu of a majority of Chinese restaurants. This of course isn't true, but the fact that the waitress actually asked the chef for us was a testament to good service.
Furthermore, the fact that the staff managed to get the patio ready just hours after a major rainstorm passed through the city shows how hard they work. That impressed me as well.
The Guinness was fine and the view from the patio onto 17th (thought you may have to maneuver around some potted plants) was nice.
All in all, a good experience at the Metropolitan Grill.
