Disappointed

I've only eaten here once. And that was enough. It left little to desire. Service was OK, steak was good, but not great.

Great for a dinner meeting

Recently went to the Met for a closing business dinner, and it does live up to the hype. Exellent food, wonderful masculine decor, and good bar to go along side. Rather pricey, definitely the special occasion...

Best Ever

I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to dine at the Metropolitan while on a business trip two years ago. (I was in Seattle for the famous earthquake.) Not only was the meal excellent, so was the service....

Best Steak, Large portions

One of the things my colleagues and I did while we were on assignment in the greater Seattle area was to go different places to eat and keep a rating file of everywhere we went. We all agreed that Metropolitan...

Metro

Not a great location. Looks too much like a factory with the open ceilings. Too much noise for fine dinning.

Grilled Prime Rib

Yeah... if you want a nice tender, juicy prime rib to order, don't go the the Metropolitan grill. If you want a Prime rib that is done more than you want, and is grilled afer being cut from the roast, then go...

You got your magic steak, Lt. Dan.

If Forest Gump ate here, he would definately call this magic steak. I can't tell you how good it is, you just have to taste it for yourself. Cooked to perfection, the steaks are the best cuts in town with...

Absolutely the Very Best

I'm not sure what kind of magic they perform in the kitchen to get a 1 1/2" thick steak perfectly cooked in the center but not burned on the outside. I can think of several restaurants that could go and learn...

I'll be going elsewhere...

I've been going to The Met for several years .. .my first time in 2003 and I have to admit, my last. Food has always been good (never the best), but good none-the-less ... the bottom line is that their prices...

The Best!

The Met is simply the best steak place in Seattle. The service is great; I always feel well taken care of, and like I am tipping for the right reason. Last time I went there for my boyfriend's birthday, we got...

One of the best

A great place to take a date or go with friends, especially before or after the theatre. Friendly and knowledgable wait staff. Good wine list, at least my favorites are there.

Marvelous Food

I have always found the Metropolitan Grill to have wonderful food and great service! (Of course it should for what it charges -- just wish there was a view.

Thumb in the water pitcher!

Though I would recommend out-of-towners to this steak house for the Seattle experience, it is most definetely NOT the number one steak house in Seattle. The steaks are good, but a little gamey, there is no...

Over rated tourist trap

Steaks at best mediocre, not cooked as requested, but love the atmosphere. Have eaten there numerous times but the last two times terrible. Will stick to the bar next time.

We celebrated our 34th wedding anniversary here. It was the best thing we could have done. We spent a lot more than we had planned, but it was well worth it! The hostess did try to seat us at a table in the...

Best Steak in Town

There is a reason why the Seattle power players frequent the Met - the food is great. There is no better steakhouse in town. There are pleanty of choices and your food is always cooked as you ordered it. High...

Dry and Over Rated Again

I frequent the Met through many suppliers that come in from out of town. The last 5 to 6 times I have been in there the Filet I ordered has been dry and often over cooked. Yes the Martini's are still good, but...
