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 not pictured here, but we were blown away by every single one. If you’re in the area you HAVE TO GO HERE!! Cocktails were incredible. Best martini we’ve ever had and their spicy marg was bomb. 5 stars- loved every second of eating this food *chef’s kiss*

Wonderful place for dinner and drinks. The exec chef was helping serve last night and he’s very attentive. Ordered both light and heavier tapas. Calamari, ahi tuna, beef ragu special, lobster angel hair, and lemon risotto. The rispptp needed more lemon but the rest delivered.
BTW, it’s a tapas place so servings are small.

Simply AMAZING! We have lived in Corolla for almost 10 years – so wish we had dined at Metropolis sooner! The food is delectable. Our server, Erika was fantastic. This is possibly the finest dining establishment on our Outer Banks. Well done Metropolis. Well done.

We’ve been coming to the Outer Banks Annually for the last 30 years but we only started with Metropolis the last few years, but it is a new tradition, with sometimes multiple visits in a week!
The owners are usually on site and working and are friendly and happy to talk about the history of the restaurant or the food and give recommendations when asked.
I’m not sure we have ever had anything we didn’t like here. This year we had the bread which was fresh out of the oven and just delicious, the Panzanella salad which is as good as it has been every year we’ve been here. The Trumpet Mushroom and Polenta Chimichurri was our favorite this year and the Short Rib Ragu ‘Lil Italy’ was also terrific. We tried both available desserts (panna cotta and bread pudding, bread pudding was the fav) and were not disappointed.
If you like cocktails however, this is a place to be. They have a wonderful martini menu with flavors both for traditional drinkers as well as those that like things on the sweeter side. Liquid Sunshine was my favorite of the night.
This is not the standard shore bar food restaurant that has all the same menu items, and I love it all the more for it.

I don’t know where to even begin on how impressed we were with Metropolis! The chef came to our table and talked about how each dish is prepared and what seasonal dishes were on the menu. Every bite was swoon worthy! The list of martinis and cocktails was fantastic! I only wish we could bring home a vat of the truffle butter!!

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 try the “Wreck of the Metropolis” (their signature/namesake dish) and one other item, and I ordered two of the specials and a couple other dishes. Everything was perfect. The mole on the scallops was so unique and the depth of flavor was incredible. I would eat 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.

This is a great eating establishment if you like tiny portions of mediocre food a premium prices. Our party of 4 arrived at 6:10 PM on a Monday. The restaurant was empty except for one party seated at a table. When the waitress learned we did not have a reservation, she made a face and expressed concern that they might not be able to seat us. This surprised us, given the lack of patrons. We were seated and proceeded pick our meals. I knew we had made a mistake when the drink menu indicated that they charge $8 for beer from a bottle. The noise from the open kitchen is loud. You feel like you are part of the food preparation, what with the clanging and banging of pots and pans. The “Mixed Seafood Grill” is two small cubes of yellowfin tuna and two shrimp for $20. The tuna was so overcooked that I had to take sips of water while chewing in order to swallow it. Mark made a single appearance at our table to drop off the overcooked Seafood Grill. Otherwise, he ignored us. Our waitress appeared sometime later to ask if we wanted additional food, or were we “satisfied”. We lied and told her we were satisfied and were ready for the check. Unlike other restaurants, the check is not itemized, so I guess the patron is expected to search their memories to recall the prices of the plates and tabulate the bill. Overall, this eating establishment would be more suitably located in a large East Coast city, where pretense is valued over good food. The atmosphere doesn’t fit with the OBX vibe

Our first time here. Shrimp dip was delicious, Tartar of black pepper tuna was also good. Duck confit was a joke $20 for a small bowl of shredded duck with beans, it looked like an appetizer. Jumbo shrimp & yellow fin was ok as was the Angel hair. We spent $135 and walked away hungry. Very disappointed.
