Big fan of Tom Jetland's (FEZ, Switch, etc) so when Metropolis was announced I was so excited! And being that I am gluten free by disease I was readily accommodated by the entire staff. The setting is very modern and sleek. It's a nice intimate space with a good vibe.
I started off with a Platinum Cosmo. Little more expensive than I like to go but the quality was superb. We started off with the Hummus appetizer, forgoing the bread with more veggies. The hummus was a nice surprise with coriander in it. The veggies were fresh and crisp and there was a good variety to choose from.
I had the Kolkata Chicken Curry.......and they subbed out the rice (which was seasoned with gluten) for the creamiest, most flavorful mashed potatoes I think I have ever had. Now, normally, I would think curry over mashed potatoes a bit odd.......but this was a really good combination! I really liked it. The chickpea sauce with tomato was very well seasoned and full of chicken.
I want to try brunch next time and have either the Met Fit Frit....and egg white frittata or the Capitol Potato Bake. But if you have food allergies just be upfront and the Chef will work with you! I really like the outdoor patio sitting as well. Very well done!
