dr. yvonne kaye. okay - so i already wrote a critique. as i am at themetropolitanat least once a week, either eating in or taking out, i am allowed. in any event, this restaurant deserves another mention. my far better half is now housebound and can no longer go to restaurants, so he has never been here. however, he knows all about it and as his birthday is coming up you can be sure i'll be there taking out something spectacular. their soups are amazing,. last week we had asparagus and leek. i am drooling! a restaurant is only as good as its owners - jill and john really make one feel so welcome as do the rest of the staff. there are some first class restaurants in the area -
themetropolitantops them all for a variety of reasons, variety being the operative word. we never get bored with the menu as the chef makes sure of that! we have our favourites but getting breakfast all day - what else is there in life? of course there are times one has to wait when they are busy so i can only assume that those who are negative either were in a hurry or had a bad day. this is not a fast food restaurant! so thank you againmetropolitanwhere everybody knows my name - cheers! see you tuesday!

dr. yvonne kaye. absolutely my favourite restaurant and the staff............excellent and firstclass. the manager (?) jill - and if she isn't she should be - is so very professional. she really cares about her patrons, has a lovely personality and has always made my guests and me feel welcome. she is really dedicated to this restaurant. the menu is delicious and i do have favourites i have never had a less than excellent meal. being a 'breakfast person' the fact that i can have breakfast all day really endears the menu to me, the soups? phenomenal. i salivate at the prospect of minestrone being the soup of the day! i would like the spinach au gratin to reappear on the menu. yummy. i purchased a lot of gift cards this christmas - the easier gift buying i have had ever! what was lovely was that everyone who received a gift card said the same thing. 'i love that place'. same goes for me. i'll be back....often. it's like cheers where everybody knows your name!
