Editorial Review
by Eric Grossman
Chestnut Hill steakhouse defies labels by providing stylish suburbanites with appetizing modern American fare and a happening bar scene.

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.

When to Go

    Every time I go I want to try something new, but I can't stop myself from getting the skirt steak and the fries with truffle mayo (they are definitely a must) but nothing else has disappointed either from the hot dog to the pasta; its always a good meal

    The Met Club has one of the best menus of any restaurant I have ever eaten in. There is nothing on this menu I don't love and crave throughout the week. Yes, the steaks are amazing but so is EVERYTHING else. A must for anyone in the area. Don't miss this one!

    The drinks, the food, the total vibe, from bar to dessert is awesome. I could go back night after night.

    SImply one of the best. We are lucky to have this restaurant in Boston.
