Nice evening. The pork special was delicious. Risotto with chicken was good. Pear pastry was a little underwhelming.

My go-to place before theater at the BCA. The rigatoni with sausage is always outstanding.

Delicious food with creative combinations of texture and flavor. The quinoa-crusted salmon was a standout on our last visit
Zach
Went here for the first time and thought it was great! The chicken and the duck were both delicious and cooked perfectly. Good drinks and good service too
Isaac
The food was good. Seated quickly. Friendly staff. But $7 for an (average tasting) espresso is just insane.

I generally really like metropolis. Their food iand ambience are great. The biggest challenge with it is the food comes out very quickly. We ordered our entrée in within three minutes. It was already in front of us. They consistently do this.

Solid breakfast, but nothing extraordinary. Inside is very cute and cozy. I felt like the host wasn’t that welcoming but our server was great.

Hostess was not great and waitress was pretty poor. Interrupted conversations repeatedly without even pausing a second, rushed to remove dishes before we were done, and even literally took a utensil from one diner's hand before she could set it down. Yet took forever with the check. Other than that the food was excellent (as always) and we love the place. Just a note that the service was pretty subpar last night.
This compact bistro in Boston's South End delivers well above its intimate size. The warm welcome, the lively bar and restaurant and the wrappings for well made cocktails, wonderfully chosen wines and inventive cuisine - from small plates to entrees. Both a neighborhood joint and for a night out on the town, this is a great choice.

A lovely tiny magic spot in the South End with very special brunch and dinner menu! I didn't like there black coffee but the food was to die for!!!

WE have had dinner at Metropolis Cafe many times over the years. It is very good and very consistent.

A great place with great food. Food arrived quickly and service was very good. Flavors were balanced and expressed well. My rigatoni was slightly spicy and great with the cheese. I absolutely loved the chocolate pudding, not overtly sweet like many deserts, and with a great texture of a crunchy outside and a soft inside. Everything was perfect, from the food, service, and atmosphere (outside). One thing to note is this is definitely a higher end establishment which you might not pick up on from the relaxed atmosphere, so wallets beware.
