The Metropolitan Club (1210 Boylston Street, Chestnut Hill, MA 02467 /tel: 617.731.0600) was my first reservation. I was ready to nosh on some great food. I took the "T" Green line "D" out to Chestnut Hill "T" stop. It was only a 10 minute walk away from the station.
My dinner partner was a bit late. I was getting hungry whilst waiting for him. Turns out parking amongst other things caused for the delay. The decor is muted dark browns, low lighting and the atmosphere was posh. Our server had a lovely accent and she was from Bulgaria.
We had the wine pairing with our meal (we ordered the whole menu) and sampled all the food and wines too. It is always helpful to dine with others who are willing to share. The conversation, company and dinner was a fun experience.
Chef’s Watermelon Steak pan seared watermelon, french feta (never would I have imagined grilled watermelon steak to taste how it did. Combined with the french feta this was a delight to my taste buds. The watermelon appeared to me as a good piece of salmon (if I hadn't known any better). Pan Seared Atlantic Salmon rustic horseradish potato salad (great crispy skin and cooked to perfection without being overly dry but had the right amount of moistness). Peach pineapple cake came out I was so stuffed. I couldn't even really finish my dessert but made a valiant attempt.
Getting the wine pairing was not that much more beyond the $30.06.
Salut!
