Review of The Metropolitan Grill

Was definitely disappointed with my experience her...

Was definitely disappointed with my experience here. It is recommended as one of the best steak restaurants in Washington but I can honestly say it's not even close. I have never had a burnt medium rare steak before. I ordered the 13 or 14 ounce filet mignon that is 77$. So obviously with that price and the quality of meat it is anyone would have a high expectation. The outside of my steak was burnt and the inside of it was super chewy. I would have for sure sent it back but I was with a group of 10 and it took long enough to get our food. Mostly everyone I was with didn't think the steaks were worth the price. They have good portion sizes but the steaks lack in flavor and the way they are cooked. The lobster mac and cheese was super dry. What was supposed to be classic cheesecake tasted like some type of weird tasting lemon cake. My wife loves lemon cake and even she thought their cheesecake tasted nasty. I would say their French onion soup was delicious and their banana foster is worth trying. The different cakes they have are huge but not moist. I would rate the flavor and quality of their food for their price a 2 star for sure but I would rate their service 5 stars. With the size group we had and the amount of items orders the staff was on top of it. It is a fancy and elegant set up with great service but I would not recommend this place to anyone who cares about their food being worth what they paid. I hear the porterhouse steak is worth trying but I don't plan on going back. Expect with 2 people to spend anywhere from 150$ to 300$ for one visit. The Palestine in Seattle has delicious steaks for cheaper.
