Description: The moment you step into the Metropolitan Grill, you know you have entered a classic steakhouse. Guests enter through tall mahogany doors to be greeted by tuxedo clad Maitre D’s. Cuts of beef are showcased in a glass display in the front entryway. Framed photographs of celebrities, sports heroes and local politicians, all frequent visitors to The Met, line the walls. At the Metropolitan Grill, the focus is on the Prime beef, American and Japanese Wagyu. Steaks are seared over the high heat of the “Iron Wood of the World,” imported mesquite charcoal, ensuring the most tender, juicy steaks available. Metropolitan Grill Chefs personally select each cut that is served to guests. The Metropolitan Grill’s award-winning wine list showcases the definitive steakhouse selection of premium West Coast red wines, with special emphasis on Cabernets, Merlots and Meritage.

They have a waiter for meats, wine, and desserts (can ask any question about it). A lot of choices to pick from. We went with a big group,... More

The steak is top drawer...but there is so much more. At least 6 types of Pacific Northwest Oysters, yum. Fresh local greens in our salads, more yum. Fresh Halibut. Or Salmon. Good beer selection. Better wine selection. Sit at the kitchen "bar". Watch the conductor (Head Chef)lead a busy kitchen that delivers the best. Great service by all.

We visited Seattle for the first time in May and happened upon the Metropolitan Grill while walking back to our hotel from Pike's Place Market. It was 4:00 and we were just looking for a drink and a rest. We entered the lobby area and noted the pictures on the walls of the many celebrities and sports stars who have... More

Best steakhouse in Seattle. It's an experience all of it's own, a meal not to rush through. Take your time, go with great friends and enjoy! Fantastic wine list. Excellent servers.

We went to dinner here for our anniversary and it was great. The food, service and fact they knew when we arrived it was our anniversary they sat us in very romantic table with rose petals. The wine list was long and the steaks were cooked to perfection. We will return and enjoy this wonderful restaurant.

I was at this restaurant a few years ago and it was simply amazing, on my return, with a few colleagues we found that the staff are great, however the food was just so...so... Maybe I caught them on an off night? It still has great ambiance and is on my list of places to go.

This place is excellent in terms of good, service and ambience. With that said, I can't say it's inexpensive. I love going to this place for the rack of lamb for 2. It's always cooked to perfection. Unfortunately I don't a picture but trust me if like lamb, come here. The portion is very generous for 2. We also had... More

Our yearly visits to the Emerald City always includes the Metropolitan Grill. Why? Simply put, it is a consistent, fantastic, clean eatery that never fails to produce a great steak dinner, with excellent service and walking distance or a short cab from all the fine hotels. Always good, the vegetables snap from par-boiling technique, the meat is 1st cabin and... More
