Local tip
The bar offers a more relaxed way to visit, with weekday lunch and happy hour service alongside the evening steakhouse menu.

Metropolitan Grill is a classic steakhouse in downtown Seattle, set in the historic Marion Building at Second Avenue and Marion Street. The dining room offers a formal, timeless setting suited to business dinners, milestone celebrations and evenings centered on a carefully prepared steak.

The menu focuses on USDA Prime beef, with cuts selected for tenderness, flavor and marbling. Custom dry aging and a house seasoning blend are part of the restaurant’s approach to steak, while Japanese A-5 Wagyu provides another option for diners seeking an especially distinctive beef experience. The menu also includes the traditional accompaniments and desserts associated with a classic steakhouse.

A full bar supports the dining room with properly made cocktails, martinis and a broad selection of wine. Wine plays a central role in the experience, with bottles and pours intended to complement the restaurant’s beef-focused menu. The combination of steak, cocktails and wine gives the venue a traditional supper-club character without relying on a casual format.

The bar provides a more relaxed way to experience Metropolitan Grill, including weekday lunch service and a weekday happy hour. Lunch centers on steakhouse fare and cocktails, while the bar remains a suitable setting for a drink before dinner or a less formal meal. The evening bar service extends later than the dining room.

Private dining is available in several secluded spaces for gatherings of different sizes, including a wine cellar designed for business meetings, rehearsal dinners, anniversaries and other celebrations. The largest private events can accommodate up to 75 guests, making the restaurant appropriate for both intimate dinners and organized group occasions.

Metropolitan Grill suits diners looking for a traditional, service-focused steakhouse rather than a quick or informal meal. Reservations are available for dinner, while lunch in the bar follows a walk-in format. Valet parking and validated nearby garage parking add practical options for visits to this downtown location.
