The ambience truly has a delightful charm, filled with character that makes this little downtown gem special. It was our first visit, and while the service was overall friendly -- we appreciated the effort -- we did experience a bit of a wait for the hostess to seat us, but we understood it was a busy day. I decided to try their special crab benedict, while my partner and our friends chose the waffle and chicken, French toast, and eggs benedict with ham. The speed of service was impressive, which we really appreciated! However, I was a bit disappointed with my eggs benedict. Unfortunately, the eggs and overall dish arrived at a tepid temperature, and the yolks were runnier than I had expected. I didn't specify any preferences, but typically, eggs benedict feature a well-cooked white and a warm, runny yolk. My friend, who ordered jammy yolks, faced a similar issue. On a brighter note, the hollandaise sauce was fantastic, and the French toast and waffle with chicken were enjoyable as well, even if they weren't as memorable as we had hoped.
Great ambiance, cozy and comfortable. We visited restaurant for lunch, all picked salads, and we were all happy with our choices. I had beets salad with salmon which was very tasty. The restaurant has a very serious coffee machine which our waitress was bragging about, and I have to say that an espresso I had was one of the very best I ever had at a restaurant. Excellent service, nice, prompt, friendly. Recommended.
Absolutely loved this place! What stood out the most was the service! Wendy and Happy were our host and server and they were so nice, funny and warm!! We felt so welcome and cared for. We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather. The food was also delicious - highly recommend the imperial (crab) eggs Benedict and the scrambled eggs. If you get the burger, get the temperatures one degree cooler than you normally would. Amazing experience
Parked on the street. $1.25 for an hour Greeted warmly to be sat. I came to eat lunch on a Friday late morning. So warm and relaxed ambiance with Christmas music playing and home alone playing on the bar tv on silent. Eggs Benedict was great! Also tried the almond croissant. The dirty chair with oat milk was so beautiful and yummy. They have stevia too! Water tastes good. Beautifully decorated and welcomed by manager/owner too! Very friendly, posh spot. Thank you Yeehaw! 5 stars
I needed to go to Dallas for an event today and after this last week's winter weather, I wanted to support a local business. Based on the "Parisian croissant" description and the price point, I settled on this spot. I was impressed with this place from the vibe outside, to the music, the staff that asked me TONS of questions and even gave me a complimentary croissant since they were going to throw them out when they closed because it was the end of the week. I met the owner who filled me in at length about how the only thing they serve that comes in a box truck is the French fries (but that's just because the there have been some rising costs lately due to tariffs). She makes all their salad dressings in house and so much more! She also told us that she doesn't do much advertising on social media since she would rather not be "the latest trend". Admirable to say the least! I will DEFINITELY return and bring more people! The Valentine Cocktails are dropping Monday!
Service here was great. The restaurant is beautiful. I had a pancake and bacon which were good. It's a cute place inside with lots of room for photo opportunities. They have lots of specially drinks to try as well.
We are from Oklahoma and wanted a good brunch place for our Saturday. It's a quaint little place with a big bar, amazing food, and a cute little set up inside. The food was phenomenal but that breakfast burger was THE BEST.
omg, such an unassuming spot right downtown. CLASSY, cozy, and with plenty of outlets for work. obviously not the cheapest menu ever but with enough range that everyone can make something shake! i got a delicious smoothie. more than that, the service is incredible, you can tell the owner cares about the business deeply. 10/10 date night or happy hour spot... reminds me of europe...
Good food, service, and cool decor. Not many people. They have an upright piano in the corner too. I had their burger and fries. It was good. I'll be back.
Loved this place. Been open for 18 months, but it's gearing up to be a hot spot! Our waiter, Bowser, made the experience over the top. Of course the food was to perfection I had the eggs royal, hubs had the breakfast plate and daughter had the Waygu breakfast burger. Hand crafted coffees were delicious! Thank you!
Phenomenal coffee. Standout food options - crossaint sandwich - biscuit sandwhich with sausage ( the sausage is amazing )
Needed a breakfast away from hotel. The ambience is pretty good. Good vibe and all. I asked for "Power Bowl". Yes it was ok, it hit the spot. May I suggest having an option with quinoa instead of potatoes. Then it truly can be called "super". Besides that, I liked the spinach, I liked avocado. I noticed a full barista offerings. There is a well stocked bar where I sat at. Yes, one can have a liquid breakfast.
After years of hunting for the perfect downtown Dallas breakfast spot, I think I've finally found "the one." The Metropolitan on Main is a breakfast haven, a coffee shop, a bar, a pastry counter, and a lunch spot--basically, it's a one stop shop for your culinary cravings. Who knew you could get it all in one place? Too Long; Didn't Read: Great food, generous portions, fair prices, and an ambiance that says, "Maybe I should call in sick and stay a little longer." Breakfast: The croissants here deserve their own fan club--flaky, buttery, and sophisticated enough to make you say "bonjour" without sounding ridiculous. Whether Adolfo (the MVP barista/server) mentioned importing the bread or the butter from France, I'm not quite sure. Either way, they taste like Paris itself--minus the jet lag. Lunch: The croissant sandwich is a game-changer. Honestly, as someone who usually sees salads as a necessary evil, the beet chicken salad was shockingly good. It was flavorful, the chicken was actually juicy (imagine that!), and I finished the whole thing without any resentment. Not your average sad salad. Drinks: The drinks are solid and easy on the wallet. Way better than the overpriced, sugary concoctions at the mermaid chain that shall not be named. Their matcha is a standout--served in its purest, no-sugar-added glory. It's a refreshing option for those of us who prefer to taste the matcha instead of just its sugary afterlife. Dinner & Entertainment: Dinner service is available Wednesday through Friday, but I haven't tried it yet. However, they do have live music on Fridays, which instantly makes dinner there sound like a good idea. I'll update the review once I check this off the list with my thoughts. Happy Hour: Happy hour runs from 4 to 7 p.m. and features specials that make your after-work drinks even more satisfying. Budget-friendly buzz? Sign me up. Pro Tip: In a rush? Go tech-savvy. Use the QR code at your table to order and pay without waiting for a server, or scan the one outside to order ahead for a quick pick-up. And here's a secret: they have a stellar little special that includes rye bread, honey, feta cheese, and three cups of tea--all for just a few bucks. It's simple, satisfying, and quickly becoming my personal favorite. Ask for Noemi's special. Flip Side: The only downside to their high-tech ordering system? Once you choose your path (QR code or traditional server), you're committed. No switching back and forth, so choose wisely, like you're picking sides in a medieval duel. The long and short of it: The Metropolitan on Main is the kind of place that makes you glad you didn't settle for an ordinary café. With standout pastries, great coffee, and a menu that delights from breakfast to lunch--and hopefully dinner--it's one of those rare spots where every visit feels like a win.
If you are from out of town and looking for good breakfast near downtown this is the place, opens early, food , coffee are good and prices are reasonable. It was a great experience being here, since there are not many options at that time 8:00 am open for breakfast or at least not one that i really like , I ordered the power bowl, which it wasnt big but it was enough for breakfast and feel good. Our waiter was helpful and checking always for more coffee, Nice, clean and well decorated place , read more

Hidden on Main street in Downtown Dallas this cafe was great and an intimate place. Service was pleasant during our 9am Monday morning visit. Avocado toast portion was fairly large. Eggs were nice and runny. French toast was great too. read more

First time here and will definitely come back! We sat at the bar and the service was excellent. The atmosphere is great. Everyone was very friendly and attentive. They have an excellent bar and drink menu. I had one of the best Apperal spritzes since leaving Europe. My food was delicious. My only complaint would be my eggs were significantly overcooked for a Benedict. read more

Overall amazing dining experience. From the ambience felt walking through the door to the welcoming greeting from the staff to the excellent coffee, main course thru dessert everything was exceptional and deserving of the 5 star rating . The highlight of the morning for me was the special of the day " crab stuffed eggs Benedict " with an accompanying perfectly broiled potato stack. My wife had a veggie omelette with roasted rosemary potatoes. We were both very pleased with our dishes. Before leaving our waitress asked what brought us out this morning and we told her we were celebrating our 43rd anniversary. That information was relayed to the Owner who came by our table to congratulate us and asked if we would like a desert. We were both very full but could not refuse such a gracious offer. The plan was to taste the ricotta stuffed French toast with Noemi's special twist and box up the remainder for later. After the first bite of sheer deliciousness our forks did not stop until the entire desert was demolished! Although, this was our first visit it will certainly not be the last. I highly recommend The Metropolitan On Main as a must visit location when you're near downtown. read more

I've only been to this place on a Friday due to their special that they have on that day. My coworker told me about this place and I was so glad she did. I got the grilled chicken special. It's so good it comes with marinated grilled chicken a bed of butter rice, broccoli, and corn. It's a very filling meal for a good price. What I like about this meal is the flavor. I'm really big on flavor and this place hit the spot for me. read more

LOVE THIS CAFE! The daily specials never disappoint.($8.95) My favorite is Friday's Greek Chicken but the Greek Salad on Wednesday is pretty awesome. If you live in Downtown Dallas or staying in one of the hotels here, you must try this cafe for breakfast or lunch. I would also recommend any of the delicious layer cakes they feature. Like Strawberry/Chocolate, Coconut, Spice, Double Chocolate, Lemon.... they all are so moist with velvety icing. read more
