| Comments: | Metropolis lives and we are grateful! Visits on two sold-out nights did not disappoint. Flawless food, cocktails and service; David the consummate host. Chef Gambs works miracles in the kitchen, with new riffs on old favorites. Not fussy, just creative use of quality ingredients packed with flavor and visually stimulating. Having tasted his masterful renditions of his predecessors’ creations, I can’t wait to see how the new menu evolves. If they need any volunteer tasters, I stand at the ready. |
