Metropolitan Grill Restaurant

Metropolitan Grill Restaurant is downtown, inside the old commercial grid that spreads out from Five Corners. The name is the sort that could sit over a dozen different kitchens, and there is no way to say which one it is: no cuisine, no menu, no indication of whether it is a lunch room, a dinner room or both. That is a real gap, and there is no honest way to fill it from here. What can be said is where it sits and what that position usually means in this city.

Nothing has been published here: no telephone, no website, no street address, which makes this somewhere you would confirm on foot. The downtown is compact enough that finding a frontage is not a serious problem once you are in the right few blocks. Reservations, hours and whether the kitchen is running on a given evening are all unknowns. For a first visit it is worth treating this as somewhere to try rather than somewhere to build an occasion around, at least until you have walked past and seen it for yourself.
