Our dinner experience at Metropolitan Grill was varied. We called last minute for a reservation since the restaurant appeared completely booked and were fortunate to secure a table in the bar. Upon arrival, we were greeted and escorted to a very nice high top table. Dinner began with mouthwatering French onion soup and a gorgeous Washington wine served by the attentive Jen. Then on to the most delicious iceberg wedge we ve ever had, accompanied by hot crusty bread. We were thrilled with our experience so far and looked forward to our main course. That s when things took a turn. The steak was not cooked to order not even close and all of our sides were lukewarm at best. We thought about muddling through but at $82 for a ribeye, we thought no, this has to be fixed. The good news is the manager Paul came over, apologized and graciously agreed to start over with our main course. We happily agreed and said we were in no hurry. While we waited we were treated to more great wine, and when our food arrived for the second time it was delicious! To end the rather long evening, we were treated once again, this time with scrumptious desserts, most of which we took back to the hotel to enjoy the next day. Every restaurant experiences a glitch now and then; it s how they respond that differentiates a great restaurant. Given our experience, we would define recommend Metropolitan Grill and would return. Thank you Jen and Paul!
