Reviews for Metropolis in Corolla, NC
Food was very good, beware portions are very small, they will tell you that your getting more than you think but it's just not... true. Caution the chocolate flight is just not good. If you regularly enjoy fine chocolate this is not it, medicore at best. Most is very hard and flavors are desperately trying to be trendy, but in fact are rather gross. I love good food and wine, butmy honest score here is an 80, mostly because the atmosphere and staff are great. Read more
An unreal dining experience from start to finish. We were impressed by the ambiance and immediately impressed by the service.... The incredibly kind and attentive wait staff were awesome from start to finish. We enjoyed a variety of plates, many notpictured here, but we were blown away by every single one. If you’re in the area you HAVE TO GO HERE!! Cocktails wereincredible. Best martini we’ve ever had and their spicy marg was bomb. 5 stars- loved every second of eating this food*chef’s kiss* ????????

The food and service was amazing! We had Cream of Asparagus soup, Nolan's Bread, Southern Fried Calamari, Lobster Fried Rice,... and the Seared Jumbo Sea Scallops along with a number of signature cocktails. The soup has just the right amount of creaminessand saltiness. The lump crab was a welcome surprise in the soup. Apparently the chef has only been making bread for about 6months, but wow, he has nailed it! Possibly the best bread I've ever had. The calamari was lightly fried and golden and notrubbery at all. Again, probably the best calamari I've ever had! The lobster fried rice was probably my least favorite and I saythat lightly because it was still amazing! The scallops were cooked perfectly. A nice sear on the outside and soft and creamy onthe inside. It was an expensive meal, but well worth it! The wait staff was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I'd highlyrecommend this restaurant for a nice date night meal. There was not a children's menu, so I would say to possibly leave the kidshome unless they are adventurous eaters. Well done, Metropolis! We will dine here again! Read more
Menu looked amazing and we were all really excited about ordering from here. We are 4 adults.. we ordered 5 small tapas and 4... heavy tapas. The amount of food we got was laughable it was so little (look at picture) I could have eaten the whole lot. Ourtotal was $135. I’ve had tapas many times but this was a joke and wasn’t even amazing. Was good but not great. Save yourmoney! Read more
Dinner was amazing! We tried several cocktails--jalapeno passion fruit margarita, summer rye, Manhattan, strawberry martini,... gimlet, rose, beer, limoncello...all great! I highly recommend the ceviche, mushroom or shrimp tacos and the chocolate flight Read more
We landed in Metropolis based on a colleagues recommendation and were very impressed with the food and ambience of the... restaurant. Everyone we dealt with were super friendly and welcoming. The food was amazing. Highly recommend the asparagus soupwith crab, the scallops, and the lobster + rice. Very nice night out with the family. Kids enjoyed their food as well. Read more
If you are in Corolla and you like food, this has to be a dinner stop. We sat at the bar and had a drink to start and spent... some time talking to Mark, the Executive chef. Bring an appetite and come ready to try multiple things. WE were going to trythe "Wreck of the Metropolis" (their signature/namesake dish) and one other item, and I ordered two of the specials and a coupleother dishes. Everything was perfect. The mole on the scallops was so unique and the depth of flavor was incredible. I wouldeat that on a shoe!. The signature dish was complex, subtle and simple all at the same time. The presentations were fantastic. I wish I had found this place earlier in the trip, I would have gone back at least once more. Matt and Mark have it going on. Read more
Terrific foodie experience (at foodie prices) on the OBX. Would fit in in any major city’s foodie scene. They recommend the... cream of asparagus soup. Get it. If you are looking for a family friendly cheap food spot this is not for you. If you arelooking for craft cocktail, foodie food, and great ambience then this is your spot. Read more
