It is rare when a restaurant helps define what is most important about a city. In Seattle, Metropolitan Grill, affectionately known as The Met, has achieved that distinction. Like the city it calls home, the Metropolitan Grill is a triumph of substance over style, inspiring loyalty from guests who return time and again to enjoy what is known as the Metropolitan Grill experience.
The moment you step into the Metropolitan Grill, you know you have entered a classic steakhouse where the focus is on prime beef. The Met has built its reputation on the classics: Filet Mignon, New York peppercorn steak, Delmonico, Porterhouse and Chateaubriand, carved tableside. Steaks are seared over the high heat of the Iron Wood of the World, imported mesquite charcoal, ensuring the most tender, juicy steaks available. The Chefs personally select each cut that is served to guests, choosing corn-fed USDA Prime from the Midwest that has been custom dry-aged for 28 days.
The Metropolitan Grill’s award-winning wine list showcases the definitive steakhouse selection of premium West Coast reds, with special emphasis on Cabernets, Merlots and Meritages. The cellar has received national recognition, including the Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence.
