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.

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!

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.
