The Metropolitan Club

great place, great food, worth the money. one of the best in Boston. Trust me, I have dined everywhere internationally ! The Met Club is consistently good. Very solid. It is up there with Clio and Toro.

I have been looking for a really nice restaurant outside boston and I've tried a few with not a lot of success. THen a friend of mine suggested The Met Club in Chestnut Hill. So, last Saturday night my girlfriend and I decided to go. We had one of the best dinners that we could remember in a long time and I thought it was worthy of a review. We started at the bar for some cocktails, the bartender was really friendly and made us feel really comfortable, my girlfriend ordered one of their specialty cocktails, they have a nice selection with some interesting ingredients - it was hard for her to decide but the bartender was knowledgable and recommended one. I ordered my normal before dinner scotch, they have a large selection and carry my favorite scotch. We then went to the dining room for dinner, we ordered oysters and the tuna and salmon tartare. We chose from a selection of oysters and they were so fresh and tasty we order more and the tartare was served with these crispy chips - really fresh. I ordered some wine and the server helped and knew a lot about wines. Our dinner arrived and my girlfriend and I were completely blown away as to the deliciousness of our dinner. I ordered a steak off of their special steak menu. It melted in my mouth and was full of flavor. My girlfriend likes to try different things and she went for the salmon wellington. She said she wanted to come back next week to have it again - it was so good. Next came the dessert, we were informed they have a pastry chef and bake everything in the restaurant so even though we were full we decided to split something. Out of the kitchen came this giant piece of cheesecake with caramel and chocolate and pecans and whipped cream. Everything was perfect, the food was great, the people were really friendly and the valet parking was free. We will be back and we recommend this to anyone who wants to have a great night out.

Wonderful low lighting, quick service and fabulous food! Great for meeting a friend after work for a cocktail or a first date. It's a very intimate, yet rich enviornment. I highly recommend the lounge!

I've been to pretty much all the steak houses in Boston and this was one of the most interesting. It's a little more varied that the typical places, good service, good food, expensive tab.

My husband and I had dinner here a few nights ago. The food was terrible. From the appetizers, to the entree's, to the desert. The only tasty thing we had was the wine. We were in a large group and started out with an assortment of appetizers...each one a disappointment. The calamari was dripping in grease, the duck confit spring rolls had little flavor, the tartare(salmon & tuna) had too much mayo and the Crispy Steak Bomb Snacks steak rolls with wasabi mayo was bland. Each of us ordered some type of steak, I had the Prime Skirt Steak with pepper jam which again tasted like it was fried and dripping in oil and my husband the Bone-In New York Sirloin 18 ounce which he said was mediocre. The sides we ordered were horrible. The broccoli looked like it has been placed in the microwave with a slice of craft cheddar cheese.
Desert was just as disappointing. Did I mention the waitress came to take our desert order about 10 minutes after we got our entrees? How rude and unprofessional is that? I understand it may take 15 minutes to prepare a certain desert but I don't need to think about desert until after the main course.
The bar was nice and the decor trendy but we will never go there again.
