In the current "supersized" American culture it is no wonder the Met has a top reputation for its enormous steaks. I have found their steaks to be above average but at a top price. I believe the Met's food appeals to those who value sheer volume over outright quality.
But what really turned me off was the prize-winning size of the cockroaches that scurried across the floor on my last visit. Oh sure, I know that there's not a restaurant in town that doesn't have some type of varmint it would rather not have its patrons know about. However, when two cockroaches the size of computer mice darted down the aisle past our server, who deftly darted out of the way and then denied seeing them, I decided I'd had enough of the Met. I'm leaving the gigantic steaks to the gigantic cockroaches and going somewhere where they at least do a better job of keeping their unsavory pets hidden.
