We have a Seattle restaurant gift certificate, which to choose?
 
Our gift certificate has a choice of :
Metropolitan Grill
Elliott's Oyster House
Union Square Grill
They all seem fairly surf and turf but does anyone have a preference? I think ambience is important because this is a getaway weekend and it would be nice to have that special, indulgence sort of evening.

I'm pretty sure the Union Square Grill is no longer in business. I'd probably go for the Met--excellent steaks in a clubby traditional steakhouse atmosphere. Elliot's is nice and has good seafood but it feels a bit too waterfront touristy for my taste.

Thank you NWW. The Met it is!

Metropolitan Grill, no contest!

Agree on the Metro

Not that you need it, but here's another vote for the Met:) Excellent food, service and atmosphere!

Shall we make it 5 votes for The Met? It is both classic and classy.

They actually carded me last time I was in there (at the bar). Made me feel great!

Wow! Unanimous! Has this ever happened on the forums before?

suze May 15th, 2009 11:27 AM

well it's really not that difficult of a question -lol
;-)

I agree with the others about the Metropolitan Grill. If you have room for dessert, I recommend the "banana foster" for two. It's wonderful. Have fun on your evening out.
