Had my wedding there late July.  The view was fantastic, guests are still raving about the food a month later, and above all, the service was amazing.  The people who work there exemplify good service (and trust me I am hyper critical about this).  During our honeymoon, my husband and I were casually reflecting on the wedding and we decided that our best decision out of the innumerable amount of decisions we had to make, was to have our wedding and dinner reception here.  We were thrilled.  Ann was our coordinator, and Abe (don't know his last name) was our captain.  Great job and thank you!

I went here for a sorority formal a few years back. Would have been cool if is wasn't foggy that night...we couldn't see anything outside the windows.

Didn't eat there...just drank. It seemed like just a big room with some tables.

I've been here twice, once for lunch and once for dinner. I highly recommend going for dinner, where you will be able to enjoy breathtaking views from the abundant floor-to-ceiling windows. The decor is rich and lush and fitting with the food. We tried the chef's special for our appetizer and it was delicious. It was very thinly sliced, raw steak. For dinner I had their bone-marrow risotto in a red wine reduction, and the flavors were so complimentary. This restaurant is the perfect place for a romantic dinner.

After bouncing around different bars and restaurants for a few years, my company settled on the Metropolitan Club for our holiday party the last two years (see Ray L.'s review).  I couldn't be happier with that decision.  

We had buffet-style meals both years and all the food was top-notch.  The freshly-carved roast beef last year and the mahi mahi this year stand out in particular, but there wasn't a single misstep in any of the dishes.  That's a true rarity when dealing with such high-volume catering.  

The bartenders are great and really don't mess around with their pours.  I ordered scotch and the guy didn't hesitate pouring four full fingers.  Well done.

And the atmosphere...wow.  Just a phenomenal view and they did a great job decorating the room to make it all the more festive.  It's a very classy place to the point I almost felt bad when things got rowdy later in the night.  Almost.

Went to the Met. Club on Tuesday.  Best view in the city, followed by the best food & service.  Great wine suggestions by the wine guy.  They rehabbed the dining room & it looks great.  All new everything.  The bar is cool to, with some sweet, huge HD TV's.  Quail appetizer & Pork loin and  shoulder entree.   Our server was great & friendly.  I have had some great meals here.  My ears popped in the elevator.

This dining club requires a membership, that's A).

2.  I was lucky enough to work for a partner company, so was able to eat here on occasion.

ix:  The service is impeccable.  Seriously impeccable.  We're talking high society here.

Thirdly, the food is fantastic.

-  All meals are charged to your membership, which is nice when entertaining clients as no one sees a price list.

Finally, you never have to sign a bill.  Again, it is all billed to your membership.

e.  In the immortal words of one Ferris Bueller, "If you have the means, I highly recommend."
