    Very nice charming place! Good service, nice music and reasonable price. Free coffee refill. If you like sweet brunch the Blueberry pancakes are very good. 👍🏻

    Get either rigatoni, veal, or pork! Everything I have had so far at metropolis was very delicious! Both wine and food at reasonable price. One of my most favorite restaurants in south end!

    Everything was impeccable. The scallops, vegetarian risotto and rainbow trout all exceeded expectations. As did the strawberry chess cake, blueberry and ricotta sponge, and peach crumble desserts.

    Recommended for brunch in the weekend but the portions are not huge. The place is beautiful and the service is excellent.

    Their menu is a delicious blending of unique flavors, you can taste the inspiration in every bite. The striped bass, veal rigatoni, and mussels were perfect in everyway 10/10.

    This Mediterranean bistro is noted for its mix of French and Italian comfort food. Metropolis is equally famous for its weekend brunches. Read more

    Don't do it. Just do Tremont 647 Worst service I've ever had. Felt like I was on "Mystery Diners" **If you're the owner, you have a serious staff problem. 2 waiters (guys)
