Metropolis

Came here for my nephew 13th birthday dinner. Restaurant was fitting for family dinner. It was a little chilly so we opted out of dining on the roof top. Food was good. Server was fine. I felt like she was more attentive after she got her tip but I'm a former waitress so I usually tip well. We were able to take a quick stroll down the street and it was a beautiful view. We had a great time. Drinks were ok but my favorite was lychee martini.

I went to Metropolis with my brother and sister in law. I enjoyed myself. We sat towards the front side of the building. It was nice and cozy with the heat on. The ambiance was beautiful. The drinks were delicious and not too strong and definitely not weak. For those that don't want to drink they have mocktails which are really good. My brother and sis both had Lychee Martinis and also a Old Fashion and a Dirty Chai Espresso Martini. I had a mocktail that had ginger beer and blueberry puree. For appetizers we had the jumbo mozzarella rings which were so delicious, fried calamari and 2 empanadas that were beef and veggie empanadas. The appetizers were amazing. For our entree I had the chicken breaded sandwich, my brother ordered the braised beef short ribs and my sister had Magret Duck Breast. They enjoyed their meals. They really like the Braised Short Ribs that they ordered two more orders to go. Our waitress Elif was amazing. Super sweet and accommodating. Overall great customer service. So humble and kind. Overall the food was delicious and flavorful. Every bite was satisfying. Some of the best Mozzarella rings I have every had. The empanadas were different from what I am use to but they were so flavorful and delicious. The veggie empanadas was cooked perfectly. The beef one just melt right in my mouth. I wanted to savor every bite. The ambiance was spectacular. There was a live Dj who played great music. If you are looking for great food, music and beautiful ambiance welll this is the place to be. I plan to come again and enjoy the rooftop.

The only good part of this dinner was that the waitress was friendly. I cant say another good thing about it. One of the worst meals I’ve ever had out. Started with getting a rude attitude while calling to let the host know that we may be a couple minutes late to our reservation due to a train delay (less than 5 minutes and the restaurant was empty when we arrived). The rooftop area smelled terrible, had no good views, and there was minimal shade from the sun. We asked to eat inside instead. We both ordered the metro burgers, mine medium rare and his medium. Both came out burnt, mine ever slightly pink on the very inside. His burger was cut in half in the bun, I assume to check whether it was pink inside. So his burger was just falling apart while he tried to eat it. The fries were cold and stale tasting. I think they dumped the last of a batch on my plate because I mostly had tiny burnt pieces of fries. Nothing had flavor except tasting like tons of salt and grease. Our drinks were just as bad. I couldn’t even finish my wine. It was the worst tasting wine I’d ever had. I wouldn’t be surprised if the glass cost double what the bottle was. My partner ordered a soda that was flat. Was beyond disappointed. This felt like a waste of a night out.

Amazing dinner. Ordered the calamari and dip was divineeeee. Then ordered the burger & steak for mains with the Mac & cheese truffle. Everything 10/10. Highly recommend

Visited for the Hudson Restaurant Week menu and had a great time with friends! We've visited once before where we sat at the bar for drinks and kept thinking how good their espresso martinis are so we had to return for the food. With the restaurant week deal, for $50 I ordered the caesar salad as my appetizer, salmon for my entrée and tres leches for dessert. For drinks, a pumpkin spice espresso martini, Patron Moscow mule, and New York sour. We enjoyed our meals; my friend loved her braised beef short rib entree. The drinks were well crafted, especially the espresso martini! If you plan on visiting for restaurant week, it ends 2/7/2025 so definitely take advantage of their lunch or dinner prix-fixe menu. And if you visit during happy hour, it's a deal on top of a deal! Service was a 10/10, the staff was very attentive and accommodating. The ambiance is nice too, I love the little booth towards the back. Would definitely return and check out their sister location, Belo Bar!

This is first time coming here and it was a great experience. The service was top tier. I had the turkey bolognese and it was delicious. I also nibbled on my sister’s short rib dish and that was *chef’s kiss*. Will definitely come back.

Great location, just a few minute walk from Hoboken train station, with rooftop seating. A large and reasonably priced brunch menu. The Steak and Eggs included a good cut of steak cooked well. I substituted the crab cake in for the Eggs Benedict; the crab cake was all crab meat (not the cheap “crab cake” that’s bread and imitation crab), and the Benedict part was delicious. Perfect for a relaxing Sunday brunch on a crisp autumn morning.

Wanted to enjoy a nice dinner on a Sunday evening on the rooftop only to find out that they were out of nearly all ingredients. No marinara for pizza, or dipping, most incidents for any dishes. Service was pretty slow.

I thoroughly enjoyed both my mocktail and my meal. Everything I had was absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared. If I were rating based on my experience alone, this might have been a five star visit. However, there were a few issues with the rest of our party's meals. Several people who ordered steak didn't receive the temperature they requested, and my husband found his dish wasn't very filling. Service was also a bit uneven. Our server seemed inexperienced or possibly new, though it's hard to say for sure. That said, the food has a lot of potential, and I'd be open to giving it another try based on that and the fact that most of the food was very very tasty.

A cute vibe. The music is good, not too loud, and the layout--with lots of two-tops--makes it a solid pick for date night. The 7th Heaven is SWEET, strong, and fruity--basically a sangria's sweeter, gin-based cousin. Started with the mozzarella rings, which came plated like hibachi onion towers. Super crispy and a strong choice for the fans of the breading on a mozzarella stick. The sauce situation is a little sad--and you'll definitely be out after your first ring. The dry-aged pork chop was the star of the meal. Someone in the kitchen clearly loves stacking food. After you de-jenga your meal, you're left with a surprisingly juicy, well-cooked pork chop. The potatoes underneath were tasty, though I wished they had a bit more crunch--tough to achieve when they're lounging in the sauce. That said, the sauce itself was a great match for the pork. Special shout out to the buser who came to the rescue with a steak knife after watching me wrestle this thing with a butter knife. Service could use a little more pep. Despite the place being less than half full, things were a bit sluggish--especially when it came to clearing dishes and getting the check.

Stopped in Metropolis for brunch on Sunday. There were 4 in our party. What a lovely place! We were greeted immediately and seated promptly. The lovely woman who seated us was also our server. I ordered coffee. It was on the strong side but good. For brunch, I had the Moroccan Shakshouka. It was MARVELOUS! I also ordered the mixed berries which tasted quite fresh. My daughter had the Sweet Chili chicken sandwich, her boyfriend had the Jersey Benedict and his mom had an omelet. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Our water glasses were constantly refilled and we were not rushed out when we finished. I'd certainly go back.

Place is brand new and had an amazing vibe .. great drinks , great atmosphere and good vibe. . Service is friendly and fast . We need to go back for some food since we ate before we went in . But certainly an amazing experience for a first time . Definitely recommend

It's a small cozy place and we were seated in what would be sunroom or outdoor space upon arrival. It was heated for winter. Felt a tad bit hot at times when the heat bursted but I think server reduced it. For drinks we ordered lychee martini but it tasted more like lemon than lychee. For appetizer ordered spinach and artichoke dip which pita chips. It was decent in tasting but it was missing the cheese pull for me. For entree, tried the mushroom flatbread and chicken sandwich for which both were good and flavorful. I wish the appetizer came out before entires as everything came out at once. To wrap up the night we got the salted caramel espresso martini which was delicious! The service was great and we were check on frequently.

Great speedy service. Came here for happy hour at bar. Had oysters and octopus and drinks. All we're great.

Stopped by to check out the roof, good vibes - fun cocktail menu. We tried High Noon Iced tea and Hibiscus martini (sweet and a little tart) - would love to go back to try some items on the menu. Most of the food around us looked really good. It's a similar set up to Dubliner with multiple floors but from the looks of it...the bottom floor looked more like an upscale restaurant with how the tables were set. Wishing them success since the location is great and the roof is awesome!

This place has three floors. We decided to be seated at the roof top for brunch. It's nice but simple. Tv screens and music. They have umbrellas for those hiding from the sun. The food was tasty but waited for a while to get the food. We ordered another round of drinks. Our waitress and manager were nice and checked up on us. The manger apologized for the wait and bought us a round of drinks. The food was tasty and drinks were good. Will give it another try.

I had one of the worst dining experiences ever at this restaurant. My date and I waited an hour for our food, only to be served the wrong order. When we let the staff know, they told us it would take another hour for the correct dishes to come out. We agreed to wait, trying to be understanding. Then things got worse. The manager came to our table and told us the chef was refusing to make our food because he was angry. She said the best she could do was not charge us for the drinks--drinks that the waiter also kept getting wrong. When we finally decided to leave, the waiter shouted at us, accusing us of not paying our bill. We explained that the manager had told us we wouldn't be charged since we never received our food. Instead of resolving things calmly, the waiter called us ghetto, which was deeply offensive and racist. To top it off, he and one of his friends (a customer) made additional racist remarks as we were leaving. This restaurant was unprofessional from beginning to end. The service was awful, the staff was disrespectful, and the environment made us feel completely unwelcome. I do not recommend this place to anyone.

While my earlier reviews for Metropolis reacted to their beverages and snacks, I happened to visit the restaurant again for dinner, which I felt warranted updated feedback. We were seated in the nicer, main dining room on the first floor, which had a more elegant and classy atmosphere than on the upper floors. We started by looking at their cocktail list, which oddly only offered 3 custom drinks, with a few additional classics on their happy hour menu. Their wine selection, however, was more extensive. Since I am more of a liquor person and was not blown away by their options, I just opted for a tequila with club soda and lime juice, which was fine but nothing special. We sipped our drinks and waited for our entrees...and waited...and waited. Our server continued to check in on us and also provided an update from the kitchen. However, even after her remark about our food being on its way, there was still a good amount of time before that actually happened. I had opted for the Roasted Red Snapper, but, since I was not really into its accompanying sides, the kitchen agreed to accommodate my request of pairing the fish with the porkchop accoutrements of pureed butternut squash and roasted baby carrots & parsnips. When the plate finally arrived, there were no parsnips to be found. The server checked with the kitchen, and, apparently, they were out of that root vegetable. The carrots and squash puree were excellent, so I did not mind the lack of parsnips too much, but I still would have appreciated some advanced notice. The snapper came as 2 filets with crispy skin and was extremely flavorful! The fish was nicely salted and possessed more seasoning than other pieces I had had elsewhere recently. I felt Metropolis, as a dinner venue, might still have had some issues it needed to work on, but the food and service were, otherwise, largely excellent.

I live in downtown Hoboken and have been coming here since Metropolis opened. The staff and Director Of Operations, Emily, are fantastic, friendly, and professional ( in particular shoutouts to Kevin and Nigel). They are fabulous and are attentive to the customers! The food is great and the ambience is a cool vibe. I am thrilled a place like this exists in downtown Hoboken and saw the renovations being done from top to bottom and am relieved the rooftop was kept as well! Not only is it convenient by the PATH and a nearby parking garage but it is a wonderful place! Please support this local business for lunch, dinner, brunch, etc. and you will not be disappointed.

I would've loved to give this place 4 stars but it's definitely closer to 3.5 stars for overall experience. Being the sister restaurant of Belo Bar I expected a lot more out of the drinks. The food I would say is 4 stars. The drinks are closer to 2 stars - slightly above a dive bar (sorry!). We started with the hot and dirty martini (one with vodka and one with gin) and a spicy margarita. All 3 drinks were awfully balanced. Super heavy on the gin and vodka to the point where you can't even enjoy it and they definitely weren't hot or spicy. While the margarita which was supposed to be spicy had a floral taste to it both times and was also not spicy. For appetizers we had the crispy calamari which was a 10/10 the sauce was delicious!! We also had the burrata flatbread which was a 6/10 nothing special and a little weird with corn as a topping. For dinner we tried the short ribs (8/10), grilled hanger steak (6/10), and white wine mussels (8/10 - you can find them listed under appetizers). The short ribs were super tender and delicious but we wished there wasn't so much sauce saturating the dish and flavor. The hanger steak was decent but the potatoes were a little weird at first until you take a couple of bites! The mussels were perfectly cooked! For dessert we had the bread pudding (10/10) which was absolutely delicious. Points for the restaurant offering us a promo to enjoy a free dessert if we reviewed them we love that perk!! We also tried the s'mores espresso martini which did not at all taste anything like s'mores it was basically an espresso martini with a marshmallow (3/10) we were super disappointed by this. Overall, we'll definitely will try this place again but hoping they figure out their bartending issues. It's definitely not on Belo Bars level at all. Hoping next time the drinks are better! Shout out to our server she was definitely great and everything came out pretty quickly! We didn't make a reservation but there's plenty of space to walk in and grab a table!

The rooftop bar gets crowded quickly so I recommend making a reservation. My friends and I got lucky that a party never showed so the hostess seated us there. Drinks and apps were good

This is a tough review to give, I'm only giving two stars because most of the staff was great, but despite good service from most of the staff, my experience with the owner of this establishment really overshadows it. I came in around 10pm. I had actually intended to go somewhere else, but upon finding out the kitchen was closed, I ended up at metropolis. The rooftop was really lively, a dj was playing and the bar was busy. John was my bartender, he was very attentive and kind. I ordered a sparkling rose and a chicken skewer. He suggested I move to a table in the back and I agreed. This is a rooftop, so as I waited for my food I decided to light a cigarette, in the corner far away by a balcony. Suddenly a angry man came up to me telling me to leave the premises. I was totally confused, I had ordered food and there was nothing suggesting "no smoking" He continued to say he was watching me from the cameras? And it's not the first time he saw me? I had just arrived here, first time ever visiting. This man, who I later discovered to be the owner was unnecessarily agressive. Shouting "it's illegal to smoke in the state of New Jersey" what the hell is he talking about? Next thing you know another manager joins and I have two men towering over me asking me what the issue is, when there was no refusal or real issue. I felt very uncomfortable and unwelcome, this is not how to approach any customer despite smoking or breaking some unwritten rule. I could've and should've been approached so differently. The manager later offered shots, trying to compensate for the owners behavior. He then asked me To smile... when I refused proceeded to say I was "tough"... My chicken skewer which I was eventually "allowed"to eat, was ok. It came with an arugula salad I enjoyed. The chicken was juicy, but lacked some flavor. Overall I'm just happy I met and made some new friends! But I won't be back, the owner was incredibly rude, overbearing, and macho. To be honest I have zero desire to spend my money here. My two stars go to the decent food and the otherwise good service I received from the rest of the staff, that I feel bad have to work under such ignorant conditions. It's unfortunate a good restaurant and concept will suffer because of poor inhospitable mangement.

I try to like this place, but every time, I find the service isn't up to par. I wish them well, but they need to sharpen their bartending.

The food Very exquisite Malik was great staff and venue awesome will always recommend

Quaint atmosphere with EXCELLENT customer service. I had the gin Mary and salmon toast. It was delish!

Nice spot for drinks and eats. Excellent service. Our server was very personable and attentive. The white wine mussels are delicious. The burrata flatbread was tasty, but it comes with corn on it which I found to be a little odd and unnecessary. The strong martinis will bring me back.

Finally a restaurant in Hoboken that isn't too loud that has amazing food and the owner even came out to greet us. Excellent!!

Great happy hour with craft cocktails and small bites. Nice atmosphere and one of the only rooftop bars in Hoboken. Bryan provided amazing service behind the bar, I will be coming back because of him!

I really enjoyed the rooftop at metropolis, the rose fest was so fun with free T-shirts and such great music. I love that it's open year round and the staff has always been so welcoming. Looking forward to my next visit

Great craft cocktails. Inside has been completed updated and renovated compared to the Dubliner. Food was excellent both appetizers and main course. Had the flank steak which was a good sized portion with alot of flavor. Would absolutely go back. Prices were also very reasonable for drinks and food.

IThis was an entire "experience " from the host and bartender Aj to the server Pablo and the manager Juan...fantastic service...the ambience, and food...let the pics speak for themselves. Thank you Metropolis for making our evening in Hoboken even more memorable.

Saturday afternoon rooftop drinks. You have to order food to sit at a table; otherwise the bar area is a bit small / lacking seating options. It's not listed anywhere (at least not that I saw), but they charge a 4% credit card fee.

Amazing service and great food. Be sure to ask for Noemi for the best experience. Will definitely be going back!

We got takeout tonight. I had the beef short ribs and my husband had the pork chop. The pork chop dinner was very good my husband enjoyed it. The beef short rib dinner was amazing. Best I ever had in Hoboken in my 6 years living here. The carrots that came with both our dinners were delicious too! Looking forward to eating there next time. Would highly recommend!!

Food was great but the management hmmmmm. Specially amin (ah-meen)? The manager he shouldn't be there, at all. Trying to say he's gonna fire the bartender from his job. For simple mistake with a drink. Like im a paying customer i should voice out the difference with my drink. Not live in fear to explain what happen with my drink. Im not a freaking 9yr old who doesn't know the difference of tequila and gin?!

This place sucks. Drinks are awful. We ordered cucumber margarita and Moscow Mule. Both drinks were really bad (the mule tasted like ginger syrup and vodka) We ordered a chicken wrap but it never came so we cancelled it. We told our waitress that the drinks were bad (we couldn't even drink them) she said "well you ordered them so you have to pay for them". I've worked in the industry and have never heard a customer paying for something they couldn't even drink.

Just came here this weekend and the place is unrecognizable vs what it used to be. Super clean, great drinks, and tons of TVs. The rooftop is really nice and has 4 TVs as well. Only downside is you need to eat in order to sit at a table on the roof. That said, since the bar was crowded, the manager let us sit and just drink anyways, which was super nice. Not a problem that they want you to eat (I get it), but they should put more appetizers, shareables, or small plates on the menu to accommodate people who mostly just want to drink and have a light snack. Our server Maia was super attentive despite us not eating! Definitely recommend people try out Metropolis! Looks like a promising Sunday Funday spot for football.

Loved this place so much!! The vibe was so good and we had the best time with the girls. Alexa was an amazing waitress!! Had the best time we'll definitely be back!!!

Great food, drinks, service and atmosphere! Always great to get a drink and some fresh air at the rooftop

Favorite place in Hoboken! Great food, amazing energy & the best service. Highly recommend!

John and staff were phenomenal in making our happy hour event happen. Food, drink, and service were fantastic. Loved the ambiance - we were on the rooftop. They all went above and beyond to help make this event a success. Will definitely come back again and highly recommend coming here. Thank you!

We went with group of 4 food was excellent. I had the French chicken which I highly recommend. Wife had scallops which she enjoyed. Dessert was apple strudel very good will return

John is the BEST bartender!!! If you go must go to him! also the bar is such a vibe def go!!

Food was amazing! The place and ambiance are so cute. But, the service puts it over the top. Truly top notch. Staff is extremely nice and attentive. Just a great experience overall.

Came here last Saturday for dinner on the first floor then hung out on the second floor at night. Food is fantastic ,great presentation. The bartender on the first floor Bryan was very knowledgeable and incredibly friendly. On the second floor Emily and Alex were continuously making sure we were having a good time and the dj Orlando's playlists were incredible. Highly recommend

Terrible place. They will mistreat you! The ambiance is subpar. Glad I saved my $ by not getting anything. They didn't want me there the moment I walked in with my husband.

Ordered a gin martini and the bartender accidentally gave us a tequila martini. Voiced it to the waiter she explained she will remove it from the bill. She had to have a manager remove it so she called him. The manager Amin (Ah-meen) refused to remove it and interrogated us threatening to fire the bartender. I explained I just Cannot consume the drink and was ready to head out. He was aggressive and rude and it was potentially the worst customer service I've ever experienced. The server Giovanna was very nice. Management was pathetic and food was just ok.

This place is the best atmosphere in Hoboken. Come to Metropolis and find Stefanie for the best cocktail you've ever had - a great experience and service. Music, drinks, food, electricity.

We are HUGE fans of Belo Bar so we were very excited to try out this new place, Metropolis. Firstly, I love the set up! Each floor is a different vibe. We ended up eating dinner on the rooftop. Our server was fantastic! She was quick and attentive. The bar upstairs was very crowded but that was to be expected on a roof top. The only complaint we have is there seemed to be a little disorganization between the security and some of the staff. Not everyone seemed to be on the same page. Other than that, we will be back!

Had the White Wine Muscles and Mac and cheese paired with a wine. Great Experience and Amazing Food. Nice and Friendly Manager and workers here. a must go to spot in hoboken and close to the path is a huge plus.

Nice ambience overall. Food wasn't overly exciting - really wish they'd consider a unique menu and elevated cuisine to match the space.

Easily my favorite place in Hoboken! The food is absolutely amazing and probably the best food I've ever had. Had the hanger steak, melted in my mouth and the drinks were perfect to go along with it! Beautiful ambiance and staff is great!

This bar used to be great - since the "renovation" it seems to have lost its charm. Being one of the only rooftop bars in Hoboken, it has lots of potential but is overall lackluster. You're better off going to the surrounding restaurants/bars. After going to two separate floors' bars to attempt to get a drink, it ended up taking 40 minutes...and the cocktails were tough to finish. Stick to canned drinks as the bartenders seemed untrained or at least very inexperienced.

The meal was amazing. One of the best crab cakes I've had in a long time. The staff was also so attentive. We had a great experience and didn't even see the roof top yet! Short ribs were also really great.

the staff here is top tier! food is really good, I would recommend the chicken or scallops. if the rooftop is too busy, Ryan is the best on the first floor! the management is so friendly, come here immediately!!
