What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Metropolitan Steak & Seafood is widely praised for its exceptional food quality, particularly steaks, and its outstanding, attentive service, creating a memorable fine-dining experience. Diners consistently highlight the knowledgeable staff and the stylish, upscale atmosphere. While most reviews are glowing, some patrons have encountered issues with happy hour pricing and acknowledge the high price point, though many still find it worthwhile for the overall quality.
"I celebrated my 40th birthday at Metropolitan, and it was an unforgettable night! The team went above and beyond to make everything perfect. The room looked amazing with our added decorations, and the setup was just right for our group of 40—cozy but not crowded. We had music, karaoke, and even a Photo Booth, all at a great noise level that still let people mingle comfortably.
Special shoutout to Jared (owner/GM) for his incredible patience and responsiveness with all my emails while we planned the event. Paige and Macy, our bartenders/servers, were absolute rockstars—not only were they on top of everything, but they even dressed on theme with our Espresso Martini vibe, which was such a fun touch.
If you're thinking of hosting a private event, I can’t recommend Metropolitan enough. A solid 10/10 experience!"
Sarah Walter
"If you are looking for a restaurant that is hip enough for the young professional crowd and traditional enough for their grandparents, then this place will please you. The decor is stylish with modern/industrial/classical touches. Chandeliers, dark wood and black tablecloths are enhanced by a beautiful bar and vintage portraits.
The service was cordial, thoughtful and timely, including the Michelin Star chef dropping by to say hello. The food was prepared perfectly and presented well. It was a pleasure to eat a New York steak slowly with a red wine reduction sauce and linger over the last few sips of an Australian Cabernet."
Mark Kimball
"Stopped in for a quick drink one afternoon. Absolutely delicious. Staff knew what questions to ask to help us decide on what we would like. I loved my margarita. Beautiful atmosphere with lots of seating. Doesn’t feel like you are in Amarillo."
