Metropolitan Grill — Restaurant in Tokyo

Excellent experience! Tokyo has over a 100,000 restaurants so what can you say about one location…a lot…

The Metropolitan Grill is not a traditional Japanese experience, but the service is certainly top shelf; when you need something it will be promptly provided for you.

The food…excellent! Some say presentation is everything, but presentation doesn’t mean anything if the food doesn’t compare.

METROPOLITAN GRILL HILTON SHINJUKU TOKYO We came here to meet a friend from Arizona, They welcomed us with a special wheat bread and butter, setting the perfect tone for the meal. We opted for the Australian Angus tenderloin, which we split into two portions. The price was reasonable for the quality of the food, and the classy ambiance added to the overall experience.

The dress code was relaxed; we were required to wear shoes, and shorts were acceptable. As for drinks, the cheapest wine option was priced at 2,000 yen per glass. The evening turned out to be enjoyable, and we appreciated the great food and pleasant atmosphere. This place is a fantastic choice for a memorable...

Beautiful atmosphere within the Hilton Tokyo hotel to have dinner. The food itself here was decent but I have very high standards for steaks. The charcoal base the steak was served on overpowered the flavor of the actual meat. Too much of a burnt charcoal flavor. Especially given the high price of the steaks you would expect better. Service was very friendly and can easily converse in English with the staff. Tuna appetizer plate...
