Not for those who don't know the servers! – I went with my boyfriend for dinner and this was the worst dining experience! After we were seated, our waiter took our order and brought us our drinks and some bread. Once he took our orders, a table was seated behind us. Their order was taken and their food was brought to them before ours were. Forty (yes, 40!) minutes later, a kitchen staff tells us that they never got our order. I was like "Are you kidding me?" In the meantime, the table seated behind us had finished their meal... read more

Good Not Great – An average place in the South End. Decent food, but very heavy as is typical in Seth Woods style. Too many sauces and food on the plate. It used to be and could be better.

Perfection! – I went to the Metropolis Cafe with a couple of friends and was pleasantly surprised. All our dishes were elegantly prepared with the highest quality ingredients and great attention to detail. The wine list, while small in size, had great variety and quality. Best of all, however, was the service. The wait staff goes out of their way to make your meal a memorable one.

Very nice – Sunday brunch was wonderful. The space is cozy and inviting, and not too loud. My friend had the most amazingly fluffy banana pancakes I've ever tasted, and I had a great rendition of the classic monte cristo. The food was really top notch. Not at all pretentious, but attractively served, delicious, and plentiful. The service was fine. Prices not too bad for the area. We were seated immediately at the counter. The wait for a table was expected to be 20 minutes, while other neighboring establishments were quoting ... read more

Boston's Best Bistro – My girlfriend and I went up and down all of the South End's Restaurants over the past 6 months and this place, hands down has the best value: terrific, hip atmosphere with great lighting, cute layout, great location, and a terrific staff. The few waitresses that work in this small bistro provide better service than all the wait & bus staff across the street. It's a little pricey and a bit crowded, but if you are looking for a great meal, and a fun yet sophisticated atmosphere, this is the spot, especia... read more

The Best – For 2 years I lived in an apartment which backed up to the back this restaurant, and if their performance as the most conscientious neighbors doesn't say enough... We chose this restaurant's food over any other in the city every time. If we ever waited, the manager bought us a drink - or dessert. It's loud, but you should expect that from a bistro on a weekend night! The food is absolutely amazing! New Year's 2003- not only was the food amazing, but each of the wine pairings was so right on. The servers are always... read more
