While the Metropolis brunch is well known, insiders will tell you that the restaurant’s true spirit shows in the evening. Enjoy the cozy atmosphere and experience a unique brand of Mediterranean and French cuisine, plus a varied wine list and a great selection of beer.

Best described as upscale comfort fare, served with aplomb, the Metropolis' menu includes clever twists on familiar favorites. A filet of wild salmon is encrusted with horseradish, while the expected tartare starter eschews tuna or steak in favor of farm-fresh asparagus. Desserts like rich chocolate pudding cake and sinful banana-caramel bread pudding provide a worthy finish. Brunch highlights include fresh huevos rancheros and the "South End omelet" (sausage, mushrooms, and brie).
