The Metropolitan Grill. The moment you step into the Metropolitan Grill, you know you have entered a classic steakhouse. Guests enter through tall mahogany doors to be greeted by tuxedo clad Maitre D’s. Cuts of beef are showcased in a glass display in the front entryway. Framed photographs of celebrities, sports heroes and local politicians, all frequent visitors to The Met, line the walls.


At the Metropolitan Grill, the focus is on the Prime beef, American and Japanese Wagyu. Steaks are seared over the high heat of the “Iron Wood of the World,” imported mesquite charcoal, ensuring the most tender, juicy steaks available. Metropolitan Grill Chefs personally select each cut that is served to guests.


The Metropolitan Grill’s award-winning wine list showcases the definitive steakhouse selection of premium West Coast red wines, with special emphasis on Cabernets, Merlots and Meritage.

    Our very experienced server was distracted and slow to take our order. We ordered cocktails and I also ordered a glass of the Met Cab to come with the steaks. She forgot it several times and I finally got it. It seemed service was not up to their usual since they changed to the 20% service charge. The food was still excellent.

    Yummy steakhouse went for birthday, food service! The noise level was just perfect and able to have family conversations. We all ordered steak, a little on the rare side but still delicious. Would definitely recommend. Service was good!

    Well I think we had the worst table in the place for starters. Middle of a traffic area and a cold breeze. Their food is really good and service is impeccable. Not sure when they started the 20% service charge that is not a tip but don’t care for that kind of thing. It’s not like they’re not charging enough for the food.
