   Had the prime and wagyu filet combo, loaded baked potato, creamed spinach, and wedge salad. Leftovers made 3 additional meals! Steak was perfectly prepared. Best creamed spinach I have ever had. Overall is was a lovely meal in a great old school steakhouse.

   Great service from Scott. Nice booth as requested. Only issue was that 2 of the 3 steaks that we ordered arrived cooked incorrectly. We requested medium and the steaks were rare at best. Had to send them back and eat the vegetables while we waited. Came backed cooked correctly, however we expected that a well established steak house would be able to cook the steaks as requested. Once corrected, they were delicious.

   We went there for my wife’s birthday and it didn’t disappoint! Jenny our server was excellent. The drinks and food was excellent. I believe it was our best restaurant choice in Seattle that we visited.

   Excellent time as usual. Prices are very high and a 20% service charge is really steep.

   It was our first time eating here. It started out great, every employee was very nice. For some reason our waiter just stopped attending to us and I could hear him conversating with the tables around us. Very disappointed about my experience here. Waited forever for a refill on our drinks and food and the waiter never even bothered to ask how the food was knowing that was our first time there. First and last. Btw, the hybrid steak was very tough from it being 90% gristle. I should've known it was wrong when I was told it's kind of like a hybrid steak. Which was the waiter's recommendation btw.

    The food was good but not great. I have many fond memories of eating here but this last time was just OK. I realize that prices are higher all around but the cost was outrageously high. So pretty good but not great meals at a very high price.

    Old school, top shelf! We always feel extremely well taken care of at the Met. Our waiter was just the perfect mix of funny and attentive, but knew when we needed our space to talk. Excellent steaks, as always! And if you haven’t had the pleasure of meeting the maître de Craig…you’re missing out. The man remembers EVERYTHING, from where your kids are going to school to your last vacation. Top notch!

    The Metropolitan Grill knows steak and pairs top notch beef with classic steakhouse atmosphere and simply perfect appetizers, starters & sides. We stared off with and appetizer that Anthony Bourdain inspired us to try and now never pass up when available: roasted bone marrow on crostini with hazelnut romesco sauce and brilliantly accented with pickled shallots. My wife had the house field green salad; nicely balanced flavors, and I had the sublime Maine Lobster Bisque and fought to restrain myself from simply drinking from the soup tureen. My wife had the most amazing steak dinner of her life: a small but intensely delicious 4 oz Japanese A5 Snow Beef Filet. I enjoyed a chef's menu choice 14 oz bourbon aged striploin. Both medium rare (of course!) and served in complement with simply perfect starch sides for us - the mashed potatoes & the baked potato with all the classic toppings. We had never done a flambeed tableside desert, and seeing the description of the Hot Apple Pie we knew this was the place to try it. Needless to say we were not disappointed. Both the performance and the resulting desert for two were fantastic. No matter what else you may choose for the rest of your meal, we highly suggest ending with the Hot Apple Pie! The staff was polite and attentive from reservation check in & coat check at the host station all through out the meal courses and flambeed tableside desert, paying the bill and coat check out. It was relatively early on a Saturday before a performance at the Paramount and the general manager also stopped by to ask how our meal was. My wife and I look forward to dining at The Metropolitan Grill again. Our 26th wedding anniversary is in June. You can be sure I'll be marking my calendar in May to get a reservation as soon as they're available.

    Dining at The Metropolitan Grill was one of those uncommon special experiences. Every aspect of the experience was picture perfect - cocktails in the bar, every food item, the wine recommendation, dessert, and above all that, the service, which was top notch professional, knowledgable, and attentive (without being intrusive). The appetizers and soups were excellent. The steaks were perfect; just beware the degree of "doneness" was less that typical at most restaurants. Those of our party who did not order beef enjoyed excellent seafood entrees. The desserts were no exception; in particular, the carrot cake was "best in class!"

    This entire experience was absolutely phenomenal! Not a detail out of place! Lathrop, our server, was exceptionally attentive and helpful with suggestions, playing off our humor perfectly too. I highly recommend this place. They have everything down to a perfect science. I will be dreaming about this experience for a good long time.

    Juergen (spelling?) was an incredible waiter on 12/1, 9:15pm - reservation for one. The prawn cocktail, so fresh out of the water I was convinced they jumped. Yukon Gold potato pancakes with saffron butter and chives, indulgent and perfectly made. And drumroll… a Black Hawk steak from Kentucky! Wish I had the right words. Every slice was worth making, and every bite clearly worth taking. My meal was excellent, as is your venue, your staff, your timing, and most importantly, your food. Thank you for setting the bar for steakhouses in Washington, even AMER.

    Jim is our favorite server, very attentive but not too attentive. Always a pleasure to have him as our server! We shared The Met Long Bone Ribeye, and as usual it was cooked to perfection! Steve made me a fantastic Manhattan, so good I had a second one instead of wine with my meal! We finished our evening with Banana's Foster flamed at our tableside, a show with our dessert!

    The food absolutely amazing! The steaks were cooked perfectly, the appetizers were delicious especially the calamari, and the bananas foster was so warm and sweet. It was awesome. The pricing was all I had an issue with, with the same service and quality of food half the price in other restaurants. But the Met lives up to its reputation for the friendliness of all the staff, and the ambiance of the restaurant itself. Will dine here again definitely.

    Our favorite spot when we used to live there and when we visit. Steaks were disappointing. Flavor wasn’t there. Bartender warned us a bit that the 42 dry aged steak might be strong, we love dry aged steaks and the nutty flavor/funk that comes with it. For my money I’d bet that the steaks weren’t dry aged at all. Salad delicious Apps delicious Drinks terrific Bartenders awesome

    This is a terrific restaurant. I have nothing negative to say. From the Lobster bisque to the bananas foster, he food was perfect. The ribeye was exactly as advertised “the best steak in Seattle.” I found the prices reasonable considering the preparation, quality, and service at the restaurant. The lobster bisque is worth the trip. It was so very rich but not overly so. I’ll make this a must go the next time I return to Seattle.

    Good,but pricey considering a 20 % service charge that goes only to the restaurant and not to the servers or staff Add another 15-20% on top of that to your waiters And you are paying roughly 40 % in service charges which is frankly ridiculous and greedy or don’t tip the waiters

    Our waiter Jim was amazing!! Very personable and made our visit great! We made the mistake of ordering the top sirloin - mine was a little undercooked but I still gave it a shot and found it very tough(my husband told me the same about his later on). Our friends had the MET long bone ribeye and it looked amazing - they said it tasted amazing as well. The Mac and cheese was the best we’ve had, the bread was delicious, the beverages were tasty and an overall good experience. I would go back - I would just order a different steak.
