I went to Main and Mill on Wednesday, June 11th, 2025 for a birthday dinner and it was a great experience! The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere and the server was polite and attentive. I had the fried oyster Poboy and Mashed Sweet Potatoes! I even had a piece of Key Lime cheesecake for dessert. I will definitely return to this restaurant and I recommend it to anyone who lives in the area or is visiting the area!

About the restaurant

Metropolis has a chic, urban adult atmosphere where creativity is king. Lava lamps, abstract art and the clever fusion of food and drink await. More than 80 hand crafted martinis, 20 single malt scotches, a sophisticated winelist and an everchanging assortment of fabulous things to eat are offered. Metropolis offers more than 50 "small plates" (the literal translation of "tapas"), some lighter, some heavier, some hot, some cold, and from there the fun begins.
Between the two of them, Mark and Matt of Metropolis have over 30 years of restaurant experience in Corolla, and they pride themselves on making your experience at Metropolis a memorable one. Open year round for dinner. Metropolis is a favorite of locals and those in the restaurant industry.
Come and see what so many people are talking about. Metropolis...just like in "the city"...but better!
