The best steak in town, hands down. But you definately pay for the best. I like the pictures also of all the famous people who have eaten there. the atmosphere is nice and the staff are great. there is usually a line and always crowded. if you dont mind paying more, this is the place for steak. not your sizzler quality of steaks.

The heart of the menu is, of course, steak. Expensive steak. Choose from among such cuts as filet mignon, New York strip, sirloin, prime rib, T-bone, chateaubriand and prime rib. The Met starts with high-end heifers, then dry-ages the beef for a month in costly coolers that produce the notably tender and tasty servings that find their way to your table. You'll also find seafood like salmon, halibut, lobster and other meats like chicken and lamb.

The tuxedo-clad maitre d' that greets you is just one of the tip-offs that you're in one of Seattle's most elegant restaurants. The heart of the menu is, of course, steak. Expensive steak. Choose from among such cuts as filet mignon, New York strip, sirloin, prime rib, T-bone, chateaubriand and prime rib. The Met starts with high-end heifers, then dry-ages the beef for a month in costly coolers that produce the notably tender and tasty servings that find their way to your table. You'll also find seafood -- salmon, halibut, lobster -- chicken and lamb. Side dishes and sumptuous desserts reflect the same attention to detail. A lengthy wine list supplements your meal choice.

<br> The food's magnificence is mirrored by the surroundings -- high mahogany entrance doors; tuxedo-clad servers; plush green carpeting; lots of polished brass; a black marble bar that stretches for more than 50 feet and serves single malt scotch and some of the city's best martinis; high ceilings with carved moldings; and dark wood paneling that surrounds comfortable, overstuffed booths.

The food and servie were great but the atmosphere was too busy & crowded. This made it difficult to be comfortable and to have a conversation with the person across from me. I would still recommend it & plan to dine at the Met again, Thank you, Deb

The Met is a good steakhouse...it has tended to attract an, at times, annoying clintele, but you can't fault the owners. The steaks are delicious, the staff is outstanding...sure it's a little overpriced and a tad trendy...what did you expect?

The steaks and the service are excellent, but for me the prices are stil a little high. If you don't mind paying $25 an entre then this place is excellent that is all that I can complain about. I like the bar atmosphere though.

I think this place has the best Steak I have ever had...very tender and cooked to my specifications on the first try. I agree with other reviewers it was crowded and noisy...but hey I think it adds to the place. The servers were nice to me.

My favorite eaterie in Seattle. Linen tablecloths to match the wait-staff's jackets. High class and totally worth the $50 or more per person it winds-up costing. Cozy, delicious, just awesome. Take her here, and if you can act like you actually belong in and deserve such fine surroundings, you'll be The Man.

The food here is great, and you definately get what you pay for. A great place for a date or nice dinner, but it is often crowded, so a reservation is recommended. <br> Generally, I feel the food is a little overpriced, but that is only to be expected from the "best restraunt in town" as it is often described. I'd rather eat somewhere more obscure, but its nice to make it to the Metro at least once a year.

This is one of the premier establishments in Seattle. If you are looking for a great steak you can not go wrong at the Met. Call ahead and get reservations and prepare for a fantastic dining experience. One of the places you need to go in Seattle!

what an excellent dining experience!!! The best steak i've ever had!!! man, i would go back in a heartbeat if I could. Sure it's pricey, but it's more than worth it. sometimes you have to treat yourself to something special and this is the place to do that. rated one of the top 10 independant steak houses in america and with good reason. It is worth it!!! excellent service!

Considered to be the best Steakhouse in Seattle. The steaks are very good, but the atmosphere is too cosmopolitan for most "true" Seattlelites. Much better places to spend this much for dinner.

This was highly recommended, but overall disappointing. The steaks were good steaks. The restaurant was filled with those trying to become "up and coming" and it was noisy.

The chairs were not comfortable. The service was good, but slow. There are better places to spend this much money.

A Great steak place. They know how to cook a steak and they sautee it with mushrooms. Filet is excellent.
I go here everytime I am in Seattle and have recommended it to people that have also loved it.

The atmosphere is very Nicholas Cage and people who try a little too hard. This place gets great reviews and press, and the steaks were indeed very nice.... but I still think it's overrated and overpriced. There are better.

Generally over priced and over rated by the young and striving but undiscriminating crowd. I can not recommend this place to anyone with a true appreciation for good food.
