Editorial Review for The Metropolitan Club – by Eric Grossman
The Scene
Located in the former home of Figs restaurant, the Metropolitan Club offers moneyed Newtonites a stylish culinary playground. With food and liquor pairings, designer cocktails and stylish lighting and furniture, the bar area is as modern as any in the city. Serious diners decamp to the dimly lit dining room awash in warm browns and golds. Efficient servers and bartenders are familiar with the menu's many intricacies.
The Food
The Met's menu meshes standard steakhouse items with high-concept touches. This approach yields dry-aged cuts of sirloin, plated with colorful spears of carrots or turnips and squiggles of beet alioli. Unique starters include Caprese salad with fried green tomatoes, and pan-seared watermelon "steak" with fresh feta. Savory monkfish osso buco and homemade penne carbonara with pancetta and peas are examples of non-bovine entrees available. Popular made-to-order desserts include warm pineapple upside-down cake and molten caramel-filled chocolate cake.

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.
Pros: Great Food, Friendly and knowledgable staff
Cons: Hard to get a reservation at 7pm on Saturday night

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!
Pros: Ambience
