Chestnut Hill’s newest dining destination, The Metropolitan Club and Bar, blends classic and contemporary elements for an entirely new and modern twist on the traditional steakhouse. Dark walnut paneling, roaring fireplaces and plush armchairs give the rooms a warm, clubby feel, while floating copper panels and azure glass accents behind the bar speak to modern sensibilities.

The menu pays tribute to traditional steakhouse classics, but with a creative and unique flair. An extensive wine list and an array of specialty cocktails make The Metropolitan Club a welcome addition to the Chestnut Hill restaurant community.
