This is the restaurant that our family uses as the standard of excellence when rating all other restaurants we visit. Only the Red Fish Grill in New Orleans has matched them in our estimation--and, of course, we don't know how the Red Fish Grill has survived Katrina. We had planned to visit the Metropolitan Grill on a good friend's recommendation while in Seattle for a Mariner's game. On the walk to the restaurant a driving rain came out of nowhere and soaked us all to the skin. There we were, with our kids of varying ages, all looking like drowned rats and with nothing to change into. I suggested we leave the Grill for another visit, but my husband insisted we give them a try since we were right at their doorstep. We ventured in and were greeted warmly and without any fuss. In fact, somehow all the staff managed to give no notice of our REALLY dripping wet condition. They didn't even use the old `sit them in the back corner` trick we expected, but acted as if this was the normal state of their best customers. The food was wonderful, of course and we enjoyed all the pictures of celebrities on their walls (especially the one of Clyde Drexler, since we hail from Oregon), but they'll have our undying loyalty because of the way they rescued from a continued drenching and treated us to uncommon hospitality. We have recommended them to many friends in the ensuing years and look forward to visiting them when we're in Seattle.
