Food was surprisingly delicious for a local spot. Service was good. Nice spot for Staten Island.

Wagyu Meatballs and Candied Sweet Potato casserole to go.... Lychee martini on point and delicious. Can't wait to have a dinner here!

Metropolis for the win! I needed a place to celebrate my best friend's birthday prior to a show at St. George's Theatre on a Saturday night in May. We are not from Staten Island and have no idea about the area, so I looked into steakhouses and Metropolis was among the top rated. I simply made a reservation via OpenTable and all was set. Upon arriving, we were warmly greeted by the staff. My best friend was running late and we thought we couldn't be seated without a complete party however, the staff were happy to seat us anyway. The restaurant is fairly large and features a bar area with some booth seating, followed by a full dining area in another room. The decor is a bit minimal, it teeters between bar and casual dining establishment depending on which area you step into. Our server came over to greet us within minutes and started us off with drinks. Within a few minutes after, we were offered a basket of freshly baked bread and butter. My best friend eventually made it and we placed our orders. The menu features a variety of Italian-American, seafood, and traditional steakhouse favorites. We started off our meal with drinks. I opted for a peach sangria which was soooo tasty! It seemed to have a peach puree which made the drink a nice texture. For food, we had a mix of appetizers and entrees. I decided on the metro burger with cheddar and steak fries. The burger was seasoned well and the portion was hearty. I wasn't a fan of the fries though. They were plain, lacked crispiness, and a bit too chunky when combined with the whole meal. I think it would've been better with skinny or crinkle cut style fries. Nonetheless, I was satisfied. One of our friends had the Wagyu meatballs and creamed spinach which I tried both of, and found them to be delicious. I especially loved the taste of the creamed spinach. It tasted fresh with a good balance of seasonings. Of note, my best friend had the 'Surf and Turf' meal and ordered her steak well done however, she received it medium. It took us some time to find the waitress and ask her to correct the issue. Other staff helped us but unfortunately, it took 2 tries before they got it right. Nonetheless, my best friend enjoyed her meal and we appreciate their efforts in making it right. To round off the night, we ordered dessert to go however, we didn't try it since we were late for our show. Overall, it was a good meal service. In addition to our server, all of the staff were very inviting and pleasant. Most of them smiled when we crossed paths and took a moment to thank us for coming. That's pretty rare. In addition, pricing was reasonable and a good value. Given the distance, I likely wouldn't return anytime soon however, if or when I'm in Staten Island again, I'll definitely stop by. It's a great place to celebrate with friends and family, or a simple date night.

Went here for an early dinner. Had heard great things. We were seated at a kind of tight table right next to another party. The waitress offered to move us to a larger one which was very nice. The onion rolls were delicious. The bacon was my favorite I have tried at a steakhouse. Steak sauce was great, almost wish it came out with the steak itself. Everyone enjoyed their steak. I did order mine medium well, and it came out almost raw, which my friend said happened to her as well when she went. The staff quickly corrected it. Other than that, it was a great experience and I will be back.

Pleasantly surprised, I really enjoyed this restaurant. I went with my partner for dinner on a weekday and they had plenty of seats available. Option to sit at the bar (there are two bar booths) and then the dining room. We sat in the dining room. To start, we got the lobster bisque - creamy and delicious with pieces of lobster and potato. The serving was larger than I imagined! Perfect to share. At $17, the portion was right. For our entree, we got the rib eye for two cooked medium. Delicious!!! Sides of creamed spinach and mashed potatoes. The creamed spinach is veryyyy creamy, I almost wish there was more spinach but I can't complain because I love the cream. Mashed potatoes were tasty too. For dessert we got the hazelnut gelato. It had an ever so slight crunch to it which was SO GOOD. The only thing that I would love to see is a more robust wine selection. The server was attentive and made sure to ask if everything was okay several times throughout our visit. Happy I found this place, will be back again.

Great 1st time at the Metropolis All was excellent and on point We loved the food and had left over also

Solid Steakhouse! Went there last Friday with my boy and we indulged ourselves to a good steak. The place is Irish pub look alike with a very cozy type of ambiance. The staff is friendly as well. For appetizer we had the bacon slab which was freaking delicious and for main entrance we got the aged Porterhouse for two with fries. The quality of the cut was terrific and cooked medium to perfection but needed a little bit of salt to be honest (on the bland side). Also it was smaller than I expected for a Porterhouse for two comparing to Steakhouses in Manhattan and Brooklyn. And please teach the guy with the long mustache that brought our food that he should explain the cut (two sides of the meat) and serve the guests their first piece of meat like any other steak house of the same echelon. The dude dropped the plates and dipped - - - poor service.

We went here last week with a few friends. The trip on the ferry from nyc was quite enjoyable . Little did we realize that the food that we were about to have would blow our minds. I've been to most steakhouses in NYC and this one is easily among the best in my list of recommendations. The cocktails were amazing - not a single one that I didn't like. Try their sangria cocktails. The steak is really where they stood out. The rib eye was a delicious cut, cooked to the perfect temperature, and with the right amount of marbling. But the wagyu was another level. Never had such a delicious cut before. It practically melts in your mouth. The desserts were delicious too. We got the mousse cake and I'd def recommend that. Their service was excellent and the staff were very good. The ambience was amazing - great atmosphere and nice music. I'll def go back again here. I can't get the wagyu out of my head. It was that good! Def take the trip here- you'll be glad you did.

Great service and fantastic food and the drinks were fantastic. If you're on a budget this is probably not the place for you. But nothing is cheap anymore. Here you get what you pay for. My only complaint is that the filet on my surf and turf was way too small probably about 3 &1/2 ounces.
