Metropolitan Grill - (Near Seattle, WA)

Philip Seger Absolutely divine! The food and staff were absolutely top notch, we had such a lovely dinner from start to finish. Our server had great recs, both for drinks and dishes, and we left way more full than planned. The chicken liver pate was fabulous, the butternut squash dish was perfection, the blackened cod main was similarly delicious, and the potatoes were just perfectly roasted potatoes, great addition without being excessive! Everything was scrumptious and the price felt beyond reasonable for the whole experience. We went for New Year’s Eve eve and will absolutely be back soon!

Michaela Hampton My sister and I arrived for our reservation at Ascend and seated right away. We sat next to the window and the view was stunning!! It took my breath away!! The photos do not quite do it justice, however I have attached a few regardless. Our server Min treated us with the utmost respect as he recommended his favorites especially when we were debating between drinks! He is incredibly knowledgeable and very attentive. The entire team was as well! They ran like a well oiled machine and it was appreciated! I would recommend the oysters as they were delicious!! The steak was a bit tough and a bit dry, however the Sea Bass impressed. We loved our experience and will be back! TRY IT!!

Olivia Me and my sister went here on a Thursday night it was a quiet and relaxing atmosphere. We got the tiramisu and orange cake both were amazing and I highly recommend, our server Marti was the sweetest person and very kind she even went the extra mile to help find the best mocha maker in the establishment!

Carl Lunak Amazing selection of excellent steaks. We especially enjoyed the small portions of wagu from America, Australia, and Japan which allowed us to try them side by side and experience the delicious differences. Everyone in our party commented on the outstanding food, and experience.

Yenlik (Enlik) A Truly Unforgettable Dining Experience at the EL Gaucho! We celebrated our anniversary at EL Gaucho, and it was absolutely phenomenal! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a friendly host and immediately immersed in the warm atmosphere, complete with live pianist playing beautiful classical and contemporary music that set the tone for a wonderful evening. Ambiance & Service: The restaurant was beautifully decorated, and they even covered our table with rose petals, wrote a personalized card, and created a customized menu with our names to make our anniversary celebration memorable! Food: Everything we ordered was exquisite: - *Bone Marrow and Scallops*: The sauce from the scallops perfectly complemented the bone marrow. Our server kindly served it as an appetizer, even though it was listed as a side dish. - *Salad with Pistachios*: A delightful mix of flavors and textures. - *King Crab Legs*: Succulent and flavorful, with a delicious butter sauce. - *Flaming Steak*: Tender, juicy filet mignon with a fun presentation. - *Crème Brûlée*: Creamy, crunchy sugar coating, and perfectly balanced with fresh coffee and espresso. - *Sea Bass in Shoyu Sauce*: Melted in your mouth, with a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors. *Cocktails:* The mixologist truly outdid themselves! The *Filthy Martini* with a Grey Goose and *Old Fashioned with Woodenville Bourbon* were among the best Ive ever had. We also enjoyed the *Sparkling Rosé Cremant Brute*, which paired perfectly with rich foods like bone marrow and oysters. Overall: El Gaucho exceeded our expectations in every way. The staff is amazing, and becoming a member is a must! If youre looking for a special occasion spot or just want to treat yourself, look no further. Well definitely be back!

S B Stopped by on a Wednesday upon opening at 1100am for lunch. Overall, although quite pricey, the service and food were both excellent. The 8 oz butcher Wagyu steak with shoestring fries was perfectly cooked medium-rare with a nice smokey flavor with fries that were crispy and tasty. The Chophouse Meatloaf was also excellent, tender and tasty served with tasty asparagus and delicious mashed potatoes. We shared a burnt cream for desert which was delicious and also perfectly cooked. Fortunately, our server brought to our attention the 20% service charge automatically included on the bill; however, we did elect to add an additional $10 tip which goes to the server alone. Although quite pricey, especially with the automatic 20% service charge, we will be back because the service and food were both excellent!
