on Judys Book Dec 06, 2010What's there not to like? Great HH selections of the great Met quality, for fraction of the price. Try it out! (more)

on Judys Book Jun 03, 2010Good: The steaks are always cooked perfectly.. Bad: The prices are just a little too high for what you get.. Other: Still one of the best steak houses in Washington. (more)

on Citysearch Mar 09, 2009In 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... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 02, 2007Dining at 'The Met' in the last couple of years is like watching an old friend who has sunk into mediocrity after years of excellence. It hurts, but you have to speak the truth for their own good. It's time for an... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 26, 2007Jury duty was 2 blocks up the hill and they said "wear your badge so that nobody will talk shop around you, and no alcohol". I'd read of the Metropolitan in my culinary magazines and peeked into the window.. Yup, that's... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 24, 2007It's unfortunate that this place continues to excel in editorial awards and the like. Must be political. The prices don't match the service (slow) or food (OK). I guess if you're not ordering several $100 bottles of... (more)
