I spend a lot of time in Boston during the winters and Metropolis is one of my all time favorites! I don't normally order soup when I eat out, but at Mikey's suggestion, I tried it one night and it's amazing - nice and creamy, very flavorful, it and a salad can make a meal. Their small kitchen has a great regular menu, with something for everyone, and their daily specials never fail to please. The welcoming and friendly staff make it a perfect place to dine as a 1-top; lovely cocktails, solid wine selection, and the chill vibe keep me coming back repeatedly!

Came here for brunch around 1pm on a Sunday, place was full although there didn't seem to be a wait. Menu did not match the online menu so there were a couple of options I had been interested in that were not offered, probably seasonal. Regardless, still a very satisfying brunch and the home fries in particular were excellent and well seasoned. We only tried their egg dishes but the pancakes they were bringing out looked great as well, will have to come back to try them.

Great brunch! We had a bloody Mary and the Autumn Storm, which were both great. The latter might be a little strong for most people for brunch, but I loved it. For food, we did the grilled Reuben and the huevos rancheros. Both were excellent. The eggs were perfectly over easy, and I loved that they crisped up the black beans and sprinkled some tortilla strips on top to give some texture.

Overall Metropolis is a okay spot for both brunch and solid spot for dinner. Brunch: service was kind, but slow. They weren't too busy for a Sunday brunch, but our food took ~30 minutes to prepare. Prices were super reasonable for brunch. I ordered the BBH & eggs and thought the grilled chorizo to be super greasy, the hash to be pretty hard. But oh well, I didn't go in expecting brunch food to blow my mind. I would go back and order something different. Dinner: service was much quicker. It can get noisy because they get so busy, but the servers were attentive and kind. Their risotto is delicious - I'm still thinking about it.

Hidden gem former ice cream Parlor since 1995 - excellent seafoods heavy menu. A charming small treasure for a romantic meal or solo at the bar. Service is friendly and gracious, and everything is well done.

A south end gem! Food: Great spot for an elevated meal. We shared 2 appetizers, an entree each and 2 desserts and left full and happy. For appetizers we started with the Sriracha glazed brussels sprouts (crunchy & sweet) and spring panzanella salad (refreshing). For entrees we had chicken & mushroom risotto (agree with the other reviews it's so delicious) and the spring radiatori (also did not disappoint). For dessert we had the warm flourless chocolate cake (absolutely amazing) and blueberry cobler (great dish if you like blueberry desserts). Service: Our server was so kind and professional and gave us great recommendation for a bottle of wine that did not disappoint. We were seated right away with our reservation & other staff were great as well. Our food was brought out in a great pace, and we did not feel rushed at all. Ambiance: This is a small and intimate restaurant. Great spot for a date or a small group dinner.

Walked in on a rainy Sunday w no reservations but got seated at the bar in 20min. Server was attentive and food was good as well.

My go to place for risotto. The hacked chicken and truffle shroom risotto never disappoints. So flavorful and not too salty.

Great little brunch spot! A group of us came here before a Saturday afternoon show. Definitely recommend making a reservation. This is a small spot and every table was filled when we were there. Didn't feel crowded though, just busy. We got a cozy window table which was lovely. Our server came over and greeted us shortly after we arrived. They are still using QR code menus FYI. The peach Bellini was superb. I love a good mimosa or spin on a mimosa with my brunch. I ordered their brunch special which was duck confit Benedict. If the eggs were poached perfectly, the duck was delicious, and the potatoes that came with it were delicious. The plate may look small, but it was the perfect amount of food. My friends got the kale salad and huevos rancheros. Both looked delicious, but I only tried the huevos rancheros. They had really good flavor again, the eggs were cooked perfectly so that the yolk drizzle all over everything. I think all three of us would recommend any of the dishes that we had. Definitely recommend and will be back for another brunch.

Had dinner here on a weekday evening with my wife. We've walked by many times, but never seemed kid friendly, so couldn't pass it up on a date night. It's very cozy inside, nice atmosphere and service. For how small it is, the menu has a lot of choices. I had the risotto with chicken and mushrooms, it was great. My wife liked her salmon. I had the pumpkin tart for dessert, which was incredible. My wife had the orange crème brûlée, which she loved. It's on the more expensive end, even for a South End restaurants, and they add a 3% kitchen fee, which they disclose in the middle of a big chunk of fine print on the bottom of the menu. I was okay with that, but I could see some people being annoyed (it's a fair argument to say just charge more, don't hide it).
