With its mesquite-grilled steaks, slow-roasted prime rib and St. Louis-style barbecue pork ribs, the Metropolitan Grill has got what it takes to feed entire packs of carnivores. Even the house martini defers to the kitchen, in a way: It's made with Beefeater Gin. Go, enjoy and keep your fingers crossed that your vegan significant other doesn't find out.
