The Scene – The unofficial second office of Seattle's biggest-budget businessmen, this old boys' club steakhouse has long held the top spot on many an expense account for its friendly, capable service and dependably terrific steak. Once through the tall mahogany front doors, the busy world of 2nd Avenue gives way to tuxedo-clad maitre d's, plush, overstuffed booths and cuts of beef displayed as red-meat art at the reception desk. – – The Food – Memorable starters include fried artichoke hearts and ice-cold fresh oysters on the half shell. Light eaters can pick at the…
Editor's Tips
- What to Drink:
- Linger after your meal. An exceptional list of fine liquors includes aged Scotch, American whiskeys and bourbons; the wine list includes a fine number of ports.
- Parking:
- Make use of the $7 valet every night after 5pm. For weekday lunches, validation is available for garages at Second and Cherry and the alley west of Second at Marion.
- Happy Hour:
- Drinks aren't discounted, but who cares when beef sandwiches are $2 and nothing on the menu is more than $5? (Mon-Fri 3pm-6pm)
- Carry Out:
- Box lunches and party platters are available for delivery to downtown Seattle on weekdays. Call for more details.

Sign of the (Hard) Times
by jsmilgin at Citysearch
I once considered the Metropolitan Grill as “the gold standard” of steak houses and easily 1 of the best restaurants in Seattle. We had dinner at the Met on our 21st wedding anniversary, (Thursday June 23), but were disappointed by what seemed to be slipping standards all around.
The food was good, but not great; the service was good, but not great. I had the Cajun blackened prime rib which was far too fatty. My wife had the filet mignon which was far too salty. Our server was pleasant enough, but she pretty much deserted us after bringing the entrees and my second glass of wine.
I was ready for a third glass about half way through dinner, but she was nowhere to be seen. The next time we saw her was when we were finished eating. In the past “the Met” has made a nice gesture whenever we have booked for our anniversary (like a crème brûlée) but this time all we got was our check; and we had told the girl taking our reservation that it was a special occasion.
To make matters worse, I wrote to the manager to complain (politely) and never received an acknowledgement. To be sure: The Met is better than your average steak house, but there are a number of better places in town for steak.

Possibly the best happy hour in Seattle
by ps1469 at Citysearch
I had a friend bring me here for happy hour once and he told me that you get a met burger and fries for 5$. I was shocked because the met is so expensive usually. Well when I got there I ordered the burger. It was amazing. I didn't think it would be that good. You must come to the met for happy hour!

Awesome place
by isoprep at Citysearch
My first experience at The Met. It was great. That place was really cool. Great people working and eating there. We walked in on a friday. there were no tables but we waited for a couple of seats to open up at the bar and we ate there. Great service, We had the Chateubriand with a side asparagus. The Filet was delicious, everything was great. Definately go here and check this place out. Its one of Seattle's treasures and you need to experience this place once.

awsome

I had a ceasar salad and flank steak. Pretty standard right? That was by far the best ceasar and the flank steak mouth watering. My date was impressed and we had fun . We did not like the wait but after it was all said and done it was worth it!
