Metropolis

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)

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!!
