Kevin Spacey Loves Annapolis Dining

The Hollywood star told Men's Journal that one of his favorite late-night restaurants is Metropolitan Kitchen & Lounge on West Street.

When Kevin Spacey wants to relax, he likes to do it at one of six late-night restaurants around the globe—and one of those is Annapolis' own . 

"It's both a music venue with live bands and a bar with a roof deck," Spacey told Men's Journal. "A very cool place."

Spacey has been in Maryland for the past few months filming the Netflix production "House of Cards." He is best known for his roles in "American Beauty" and "The Usual Suspects."

Metropolitan's David Kidwell told the Baltimore Sun that Spacey's staff called ahead a few weeks ago to tell the chef that the Oscar-winning actor and his entourage would be arriving at the West Street restaurant.

"He could pretty much sit up there and relax and not have a whole lot of people bothering him and everything else," Kidwell said. "He came back a couple days later and he's been kind of a regular ever since."

Kidwell said that Spacey isn't the only celebrity to frequent his rooftop lounge.

Olivia Wilde and Sam Rockwell hung out there "at least a half dozen times" while filming "Better Living Through Chemistry." 

"It's cool that he chose not only to come here but then to let other people know about it," Kidwell told the Balitmore Sun, then adding, "I hope this doesn't mean he won't be able to come back now. He might have given away his own secret."

And even if he can't make it back again, I'd to personally extend an invitation to Mr. Spacey or any other actors frequenting Metropolitan Kitchen & Lounge to feel free to leave a review for others on Annapolis Patch's for the restaurant. I promise to feature it prominently.
