MetropolitanKC should attract downtown diners to the Marriott

MetropolitanKC arrived with the makeover of the downtown Marriott (200 West 12th Street), and in this week’s review, Charles Ferruzza calls it “the best thing to happen to this Marriott in 20 years.” Here’s his take on the barbecue salmon:

The kitchen’s subtle sense of invention is evident in the barbecue salmon. The fish I tasted had a lightly crispy exterior and a moist, pink center, and the avocado relish blanketing it was just right. It came perched on a tasty mash of soothing cauliflower, which had none of the graininess that sometimes hinders the vegetable. It’s a dish that’s modern without being pushy about it.

There’s a slideshow of photos by Angela C. Bond to accompany the review. You can see them here or click on the photo of the barbecue salmon above.
