Whole experience is excellent and outstanding! Whipped butter with sea salt elevated the flavor of bread. The staff who take care of us is Lam. He is absolutely sweet, kind, and professional person! He is care everyone he serves and treats us as his friend. I would definitely recommend Metropolitan. Metropolitan is definitely the best steakhouse in Seattle!

This restaurant is incredible. Their whole setup makes you feel as in a banquet hall. Everything is perfectly tidy and clean. Every single employee strives to make you feel welcomed and comfortable. Servers know their trade; they explain the menu as if they were the chefs, and offer perfect wine pairings for the menu. Thanks, Bruno, awesome service! Drinks are fantastic, great bartending. Wines pairings are perfectly executed, great servers. And the steaks are simply out of this world! Metropolitan Grill goes beyond being a restaurant, it is an experience.

Stopped by on a Wednesday upon opening at 1100am for lunch. Overall, although quite pricey, the service and food were both excellent. The 8 oz butcher Wagyu steak with shoestring fries was perfectly cooked medium-rare with a nice smokey flavor with fries that were crispy and tasty. The Chophouse Meatloaf was also excellent, tender and tasty served with tasty asparagus and delicious mashed potatoes. We shared a burnt cream for desert which was delicious and also perfectly cooked. Fortunately, our server brought to our attention the 20% service charge automatically included on the bill; however, we did elect to add an additional $10 tip which goes to the server alone. Although quite pricey, especially with the automatic 20% service charge, we will be back because the service and food were both excellent!

I'll start off by saying I don't go to places like this, but if you do, or if you have one shot, go here! I like food, but I also like to leave full, and this place not only had some of the best tasting food I've ever had, but I actually left feeling completely satisfied. I know beef. I raised it in Iowa growing up, and my cousin still privately raises some of the best beef in the country. He would definitely love this place. With two appetizers, two cocktails, and two mid-range steaks, our bill was about $360, and worth every penny. I had a ribeye and my son had a New York fillet, and both were excellent. The Manhattan was the best of our two cocktails, and I very highly recommend the bone marrow. Beef is the star here, but I also know they have an amazing half chicken. The service is very attentive as you would expect, but no flash or frills, which is exactly what I wanted. My son gets 10 stars for taking me here to celebrate his new job offer.

Swanky spot for steak! The lobster bisque was my fave but everything else was wonderful, too. Be sure to check out the wall of fame with pics of celebs who have also visited. Fine dining and exquisite service at its finest! Bruno took great care of us and shared his unbridled enthusiasm for all things meat/marbling. Definitely recommend!

The best steakhouse in Seattle for real! I’ve already been here four times — for lunch, dinner, and happy hour — and it never disappoints. The ribeye is amazing, and I love their mac & cheese and mashed potatoes. My only wish is that they’d open indoor seating for lunch instead of just the bar area.

Came here to try their happy hour and it is amazing! Each item was made with such care and they had a stellar deal on drinks! Their old fashion was one of the better ones ive had in the city! My fiancee had the mule and said it was great!

Parking: valet available $15 Entrance: valet employee and doorman both on their phones and ended up opening the door upon exit. Host: quick check in and seated immediately with no wait Service: absolutely outstanding! If you care more about service than flavors this is the place to go! Our waitress, busser, and what I assumed was a manager were all amazing. Checked in and wished us a Happy Anniversary and waitress was very attentive to my gluten free preferences. Food: multiple non alcoholic drink options that were delicious. Clam chowder was good and creamy with a decent amount of clams! I got the filet mignon and jt was cooked well but the flavor was missing. My partner got the snow wagyu ($130 for 4oz) and he said he wouldn’t order it again - flavorless and not cooked to perfection. The baked potato was massive and delicious but a little too soft/creamy with the cheese and sour cream. Needed a flavor or crunch balance. Mac n cheese was good but also minimal flavor. The steak fries were amazing! Perfect crisp and flavor! I put the grilled whole garlic on the baked potato! Brussel sprouts were also perfect! Great crispness and bacon flavor. The gluten free molten lava cake was delicious and couldn’t tell it was gluten free and the vanilla ice cream was the best I’ve ever had! (From Olympic mountain creamery). Overall, if you want to be waited on hand and foot and have a darker, calmly lit dinner with family or a significant other but flavor isn’t your priority, this is the place to go.
