Met a colleague here for dinner was was not disappointed. Had a cocktail at the bar before dinner and the bartender was superb. The dinner and service was excellent. I would definitely recommend the Halibut. I will definitely be back.

Great food and ambiance.

Way way over priced.. filet mignon was average at best and at $90 I expected more..
Had a way more tasty filet 1 week later on my Alaska cruise at Le Bistro restaurant..
That shouldn't be the case...
One and done for me....

I’ll start by saying the service was very nice. Everyone was very friendly but outside of that we didn’t have a great experience. The steaks were just not good relative to the premium pricing. My ribeye was so charred (burnt) that it totally ruined the flavor of the steak. Even the server commented on the charring trying to excuse it but I couldn’t even finish the food. The inside of the steak was cooked nicely but the outside was clearly burnt in places which is just not okay for a 100 dollar steak. I’ve never sent a plate back but if there was ever a time to do it, this would have been it.
We also ordered a Japanese waygu steak which was really tender but the sake based sauce they put on the outside was really salty and again ruined the flavor of the actual meat. For a steak house, these expensive steaks were disappointing. We’ve had much better at STK and Aqua. This seemed like a hype thing.
Also, it’s just very loud inside. It can be difficult to hear what’s going on.
Additionally, they have an automatic 20% service charge which is fine and good, but then they go to lengths to explain on the receipt how you should tip on top of that which is ridiculous.

Some of the best steak I ever had and we have some good one's in L.A. Definitely try the Tomahawk well worth the price

It has a cozy atmosphere and decent steak. I won't say it's the best, maybe in Seattle. :) It's a good place for a business dinner or a romantic date.

Rob the bartender went above and beyond. We had a reservation for the dining room but decided to stay at the bar. Excellent choice. Cocktails were fantastic and the food on point. Rob took great care of us at the bar and made our first visit to Seattle memorable. We love “old school, clubby” steakhouse and MG hits the mark.

Very pricey steakhouse.......old school but could use a freshening up! The overpriced prawn cocktail was disappointing.....tasteless prawns, simple cocktail sauce. The cesar salad was not close too being a good traditional salad. My ribeye was good but come on......close to $100 should be outstanding. My wife had a top sirloin....she needs lean meat and this was it, nothing grass-fed available. The dish did include potatoes......frankly, this was the best item of the night. Martinis were good but very small. We ordered dessert and they brought us a piece of carrot cake with ice cream big enough for 5 people....seems a bit wasteful frankly. Our server, Jade was very good. The bill included a 20% service fee that apparently went to the restaurant and we were expected to tip server on top of the 20%, I guess......server explained to us that they get a commission but no tips....very confusing and it became a complicated business transaction all of a sudden. Way overpriced in my opinion, no need to return and would recommend going to one of the many other steak places in Seattle.
The Metropolitan Grill is a Seattle staple. Very good to excellent food and service. EVERY BILL INCLUDES THIS NOTE: There is a 20% service charge added to every bill, which the restaurant retains 100% of that service charge. The service charge is taxed, which is WA state law. The server earns a 10% commission on gross sales and 100% of anything left on the tip line.

Great cuisine, great drinks!

Easily the best part of our dinner was our server-so sad that I didn't write down his name. Perfect amount of expertise, attention and sense of humor.

Wonderful atmosphere. Superior, impeccable, professional service. Number one choice for steak dinner in Seattle. The mandatory 20 percent service charge, which goes entirely to management and not the server, has a chilling effect on the overall experience and makes calculating the gratuity the server deserves more difficult.

Lynn was wonderful and informative, helping my girlfriend and I enjoy a lovely evening out! Incredible food and flavorful drinks with an overall professional and enjoyable experience. Definitely will come back the next time for a big celebration
