Are you looking for a one-of-a-kind fine dining experience in downtown Cincinnati?  Might I suggest Metropole?  This popular restaurant is located in theMetropole at 21C Museum Hotel 21C Museum Hotel on Walnut Street downtown, and the hotel is an experience on it’s own.  The hotel features a rotating display of contemporary art that will dazzle you.  I only got a glimpse of the artwork while we dined there and I was intrigued.  It’s on my list of things I want to explore in this region now.  I want to go back to just spend time checking out the art work.  The food at Metropole is tantalizing and unique.  They cook in a wood-burning fireplace and create menu items using fresh, seasonal ingredients that are locally sourced.  The result is an outstanding feast.  While cleaning out some of my files on the computer I came across some pictures from our trip to Metropole last summer when we celebrated my Dad’s birthday.  I wanted to share them with you so you could get a glimpse at our memorable dining experience.  Everything was lovely…from the service to the food to the cocktails.  It’s certainly a great place to celebrate a special occasion or to take someone for a special date night.  And with Metropole‘s central location downtown it’s the perfect place to eat and make a night of it downtown.  Metropole is mere steps away from the Aronoff and the CAC, and just a block away from Fountain Square.  And if you want to make it a truly special night you could book a room at the 21C Museum Hotel.  I cannot wait for the occasion to visit this restaurant again.  If you get a chance to go to Metropole, be sure to try the Carrot Salad, it’s delicious!
