Coq au Vin, Truffled Mac and Cheese and the best Turkey Burger ever!

by tranhawk

Metropol is good food, casual atmosphere, and no frills. They have a good wine selection and Rocco the manager always lines up pretty good Jazz for Friday and Saturday evenings. He also spends a lot of time making sure good wines are on the menu! Friday and Saturday from 8-10 live music always something different from Nick Mancini(personal favorite) to colburn students and everything in between. It is hidden completely in this alley in the Arts District. The only reason I went is because my friend knows the place well because there is a famous graffiti wall right in front of it. What a great surprise! Truffled Mac & Cheese is delicious! Asiago and smoked gouda cheese finished in truffle oil. A grown up take on a kid classic. Now they are open late and serve food till 10:30 pm on Thu, Fri, and Sat. I hear their Sunday brunch is good too.

  • Pros: Great specials and Mon-Fri happy hours.
  • Cons: Lunch parking can be tough but dinner is easier.

one of my favorite places in los angeles!!!

by thekitchenboy

wow--i'm so shocked to read these two bad/mediocre reviews of one of my favorite los angeles hideaways!! i live a block away and go to metropol often, and i've honestly had nothing but good experiences there. service excellent, ambiance chic enough to be impressive but comfortable enough to be cozy, great live music on the weekends, rarely too crowded (though even when it's packed, there's never a long wait), prices affordable, fabulous people-watching, and best of all, DELICIOUS food! the endive salad is my eternal favorite, though i also really love the pizzas and pastas. tasty wine selection too...

haven't done breakfast there since that started, but i do grab the occasional cup of coffee in the mornings and have been very happy with the quality and bang-for-my-(literally one)-buck.

sorry to hear others have had some unfortunate experiences, but i can't help but highly recommend this place. it's one of my top five favorite places to frequent!

  • Pros: ambience, quality, value, music, people
  • Cons: parking during daytimes
