I was recently at a family birthday party dinner at the Metropolitan Grill... I was happy to give up my coat to the waitstaff to store it in their coat check, and didn't think twice about my wallet being in it in such a high-end restaurant. Not noticing it's absence when I left, I was unhappy to find out the next morning that it had been stolen, and over $1,500 in fraudulant charges accrued around town on my credit cards in the late hours of the night. I contacted management at the Met to let them know of the issue; they were defensive, claimed it highly unlikely that the theft occured, but offered to send a gift certificate in the mail for a future meal, as the circumstantial evidence of the theft was overwhelming... Weeks later, the certificate hasn't arrived. I've tried to contact them, and receive no return calls from management. I didn't ask for the certificate; that wasn't the point. The point is, they weren't concerned with fixing their staffing issue, nor with following through as they said they would. Very disappointing. The food's good, but not worth the price or, in my case, the aggravation. Pros: Good food Cons: There's more to it than the food...

Hands down the worst steak ever. For a steak over $50, one should not have to saw....and I mean saw through it. Mashed potatoes were very obviously thinned down with oversalted chicken stock. The Met if for tourists who don't know any better. It is beyond me how this place manages to draw a crowd serving such overpriced, less than mediocre food. Pros: None

In some respects it was better than The Keg. In some respects it was worse than The Keg. For a $50 steak not including any sides I thought I would be licking the steak juice off my plate and that the waiter would be near thespian, but in reality a waiter at $100 a head steak house is no more or less likely to be happy with where life has dropped them off than a waiter at a $30 steak house. The steak tasted like something I would make at home and I don't know how to cook. This was supposed to be the highlight of the night and we left feeling screwed out of several hundred dollars and a couple hours of our time so it really did ruin our evening. No matter how badly The Keg might treat you, you will never leave feeling like you've lost much. I definately think this restaurant benefits from name recognition and a lack of competition. I preferred Ruth's Chris' dishes and I plan to visit El Goucho soon. Don't make this restaurant your first choice.

I never would have expected an expensive restaurant to have the most affordable and best value happy hour in all of downtown, but they literally do. Delicious bacon wrapped steak skewers and fried artichoke hearts. Not to mention the inexpensive oyster shooters with some of the largest oysters I've ever seen. Order a drink or two and the happy hour cheesebuger and fries and you can get out of there for under $15. No joke. Food is cheap and quality, which you don't find often.

I've never been to the Met, but I have heard ONLY wonderful things about this place. Please be cautious when reading these reviews. This woman says she got sick 3 hours after eating a prosciuto salad. You can't get food posioning til 24 hours after you've eaten the bad food. I think lots of people just like to complain. the manager probably seemed insincere when she called back because he knew she din't know what she was talking about.
