"Went here for foodie event and met some of my favorite cooks. Love the music, the cooks, the skyline, the food, and the people. Definitely will be doing this again the future."

Joseph R. | Member

"One of my favorite places in Chicago to do an event. I am a wedding and special event DJ and I have done numerous events at this venue over the years and it is absolutely out of this world. That view is ridiculous. The staff is so on point no. It's always a pleasure to work there."

Marcus W. | Member

"My husband and I were so lucky to be able to have our wedding reception here. From the food to the view to the day-of coordination ... everything was picture perfect. We would recommend The Metropolitan whole-heartedly and without reservation. Thank you so much!"
