I've been holding off on writing a review for Metropolis because I'd only ordered take out before. Finally had an opportunity to dine in person last night and I was not disappointed. Ambiance: Metropolis is a cozy space with a U-shaped bar and a variety of small tables and booths. I would estimate you can only see ~40 guests at a time. On a Tuesday night at 7:30 it was fairly busy. We had reservations but there was one other open table besides ours so I think you could get away with showing up without a reservation. Service: Our waiter was great. Attentive and quick to refill the water carafe but definitely didn't hover or make us feel rushed. He had recommendations of his favorites on the menu and checked in with us periodically. The table next to us lingered and chatted over waters and the end of their bottle of wine for a while after paying and no one seemed to mind or rush them out which can be rare at American restaurants. Drinks: we split a bottle of wine so I can't speak to their cocktails but they had a few on the menu that looked tasty. We were very happy with our bottle from the southern Rhone and it paired perfectly with the veal we ordered. I liked that the wine list had a good number of options available by the glass and covered a variety of regions - France, Italy, Spain, Argentina, New Zealand, and California. There was even a Long Island NY bottle but I personally loathe east coast wines so I can't say I'd recommend it. Food: we started the meal with complimentary bread and garlic confit olive oil which was super delicious. If you're a garlic person, it slaps. We split the squash bruschetta to start which in hindsight I maybe wouldn't have ordered if I'd known we were being given bread but also it was delicious so what the heck, bring on the carbs. For entrees we split the truffle chicken risotto and the veal. I thought the risotto was maybe a little too truffle-y (overwhelmed the other flavors) but the texture was perfect. We've tried some of their other risottos as takeout and they're consistently good. The veal was really the standout dish of the evening for me. I recently had the veal parm at Carbone (admitted the Vegas location, not New York) and this one was miles better. I'll definitely be ordering the veal again next time I'm here. We ended with the flourless chocolate cake with ice cream which was good but fairly on par with the same dish I've had elsewhere. I kind of wish I'd gone for one of their more adventurous options like the blackberry crumble. Cost: for the South End in Boston, I thought everything was pretty reasonably priced. A bottle of wine, an appetizer, two entrees and a dessert ran us a little over $200. Thank you for a delicious anniversary dinner, Metropolis! I can't wait to return.
