Metropolis Cafe A small intimate restaurant across from the Calderwood. A great place to eat before seeing a play. We love the food, the atmosphere and the location. An asparagus salad, very unusual but excellent, was on the menu the last time I was there. Very reasonably priced. The wine is good too!!
Tremendous Neighborhood Restaurant – I've lived in the South End for 7 years and Metropolis has become my go-to neighborhood restaurant for great food at very affordable prices. I've tried almost every restaurant in the South End, and I frequently choose Metropolis when I want the sure thing. The gnocchi appetizer, served with shredded brussels sprouts and duck confit is a great starter. The chicken dish is one of the best chicken dishes in the city, and the veal entree with the scalloped potatoes is tremendous. The rustic b... read more
YUMMY!! – I ordered probably the best chicken I've ever tasted. Excellent food all around and the staff was very friendly. Very reasonable for the trendy location. I would highly recommend.
Great dinner spot; horrible for breakfast – I live around the corner and have been coming to Metropolis for years. I love the small space - very cozy, even if it is cramped and a little uncomfortable (and seats by the door are FREEZING in the winter!). It feels like a city spot and I like that. Dinner is great - pretty simple dishes that are very well prepared with quality ingredients. I guess I'm pretty picky but at Metropolis I would be happy ordering nearly any item on the menu. It's really too bad, therefore, that their ... read more
A Delightful Find – 6:15 on a Friday night no reservations and a quest for something different led my wife and I to the Metropolis Cafe. We started with the tour of the many tempting spots on Tremont Street (which were all full with a long wait) when we wandered by the Metropolis. We both took a look at the menu and decided to see if they had any spots. Once inside we were taken by how nice and cozy it was and that you could hear ourselves talk. The maitre'd said that they were full but there was a table that may be availabl... read more
Creative Mediterranean-tinged fare and a popular weekend brunch, served in the heart of the South End. – The Scene Part of the Seth Woods empire (Aquitaine, Union), this romantic South End restaurant is a neighborhood favorite, especially during its acclaimed weekend brunch service. Befitting a relaxed bistro in one of the city's most vibrant areas, the Metropolis attracts a suitably diverse crowd. Pleasant, casual waiters traverse the cramped quarters with ease. Window tables provide colorful glimpses of bustling Tremont St... read more

Cozy South End Restaurant – I frequent Metropolis Cafe since it is right down the street and the prices aren't as outrageous as you find at many of the other South End spots. They frequently have delicious specials and their chicken entree is awesome. I try not to order chicken out (so I can try something different), but once you try it, it is hard to resist!!
Coming from a former server... – I worked there several years ago as a brunch server. I can tell you that the staff (chef, sous-chef, prep cooks, servers, etc.) at the time genuinely cared about quality and my coworkers and I worked our butts off during brunch. The fresh fruit, granola, omelets, etc. were really high-quality and very tasty. Another secret: The pancake batter isn't just "like" Bisquick - it IS Bisquick. As far as waiting 45 minutes for a table, well, in a place with something like 14 tables, if you show up mi... read more
