One of the best in USA
If you read my reviews, you can see we have been to many restaurants and mostly, these have been in Europe. This one was so special and surprising! It felt like a cozy night with excellent food that was paced in a perfect way. The sizes were perfect too, not too large or too small. It was not a show as others in the States that want to amuse you with their noise and adornments that only try to hide their weak food. This is straight forward an excellent restaurant: service, food, ambience! Just go and enjoy one of the best dining experiences you will have this side of the Atlantic.
Be the first to ReplyGreat service, food and knowledgeable Staff
Métier was a very intimate and unforgettable experience . From the time I walked into the restaurant which is Kinship and than guided to the elevator which took us to an underground dining experience Métier. Métier is dimly lit and romantic with beautiful interior and very knowledgeable and friendly staff. The service and every dish was beyond my expectations. I enjoyed every minute from the moment I walked in. The staff made my night even more exceptional with the wines paired with every dish to their humor. I loved that I was able to peer into the kitchen window and see the chef. I was very impressed that our server spoke French, my friend was visiting from Paris at the time. Thank you for a unforgettable and wonderful evening

Simply outstanding experience. Well prepared, interesting food. Great flavor combinations. Nice setting. Good service. Worth every penny and more.
Be the first to ReplyElegant and sophisticated
I quite enjoyed Metier - we'd been to the less formal Kinship restaurant before and it was nice to see the contrast. My only reservation about Metier was it was a bit "sleepy." The tones of the colors and the decor were neutral in this overwhelming way. Pleasing but again a bit too relaxing.
Service was superb. I highly recommend reserving the salon for a cocktail or glass of champagne prior to dinner. The food was excellent as well. I recommend getting the Caviar supplement for the first course. All of the fish dishes were exceptional standouts!
It's a lovely evening. They also offer lovely wines to go along with the delicious food offerings.
An extraordinary and special DC secret!
This was a wonderful anniversary dinner and we were treated like Kings. A delightful small dining room with tasteful decor and snappy attentive and well coiffed assistants. The 5 course dinner was extraordinarily tasty, creatively prepared and in the end - very filling.
An expensive but special meal that was well worth the cost. One of Washington’s hidden treats!
perfection...
I am a tough but honest reviewer... this was a top 10 in my life dinning experience...
nothing was out of step...
Disappointing
We were excited to learn of a Michelin starred restaurant in this most provincial of towns. Our first wish is the restaurant spend more time looking at their menu then nagging diners about the dress code. It’s very annoying to continually received emails about the dress code only to discover the food is disappointing.
Our first disappointment was on arriving early we were asked to sit and wait. This seems to be a very typical practise in America. As if you need to consider your sins before worshipping at the high altar of the latest culinary ‘talent’. It was a full half hour after our scheduled reservation when we were escorted to the subterranean dining room. We were greeted and asked to sit. We expected to be shown to our table. But no we had to endure the theatrics of a champagne glass with an ice cube then wait ten minutes for the promised hors d’oeuvres.
Odd that the canapés weren’t ready and waiting. We had visions of Beckers in Trier and the endurance meal we had there that lasted six hours.
Waiting . . . waiting . . . waiting . . . waiting . . . then a waiter arrived bearing a long dish with two rows of three items. One was a small bowl, plus two other items. He rushed through the explanation is such a hushed voice we barely caught the descriptions. The bowl had crushed ice in it what else was anyone’s guess. There was some sort of vegetable and something stuffed with chorizo. None were a success in the amuse bouches world. Christian Bau at Victor’s is still the champ when it comes to amuse bouche. These were domestic kitchen quality and creativity.
We were given the menu then had it taken away. Finally we were shown to our table. There’s an amazing amount of pretension in Washington D.C. and it was layered on thick at Metier. It’s possible all the time they spend communicating the ‘dress code’ they could have put to better use in the kitchen working on some better canapés.
As we worked our way through the menu we were more and more discouraged. The short pours for the wine flight also made even greater disappointment. Not that any of the wines were truly worthy. Most of them were like what the sommelier had on hand.
The kitchen seemed to lack any sort of imagination with the dishes. Most were pedestrian at best. There was a congealed slick of something under the lamb loin accompanied by a disgusting quenelle of dijon sorbet. Yes, I know even the waiter confessed it was a real turn off. Too bad who ever’s in charge of the kitchen didn’t seem to realise a nice fondant potato would be more appreciated by the guests.
It was our impression the entire meal was created dish by dish. We wondered if anyone in the kitchen had eaten the entire menu dish by dish. If they had they might have realise how redundant so many the dishes were. There was too many icy things, odd bits of veg and the theatrics with the thin and tasteless consommé only reinforced Alain Passard’s standing as the king of consommés with his rutabaga consommé.
The best dish was the Branzino. It actually was a complete, tasty and well-balanced dish. Sadly the rest of the meal wasn’t up to it. Dessert was a mess of foam, sorbet and unidentifiable pale mush with a chocolate disc that defied the fork and the spoon.
And there was no cheese trolley. I do hope Metier gets a new chef with some imagination. But then maybe there’s no demand in Washington, D.C. for creative cooking.
Birthday extravaganza
This was a high end culinary experience. The service was impeccable. We enjoyed the window into the kitchen. The staff was knowledgeable and attentive. The food was beautifully presented and very tasty. Great for a special occasion. The birthday girl approves.
Be the first to ReplyGood Not Great
Dined at Metier for a birthday celebration. Really great meal and presentation. That said, we were expecting to be blown away and really weren't. Maybe the more casual restaurant upstairs is a better choice?
Be the first to ReplyTop quality
This is a top of the range restaurant with prices to match, but wow! We had the tasting menu and every course was fantastic, and the wine parings were cleverly thought out. When you pay high prices you expect a lot, but this delivered on every level. Thank you to all the staff front of house and kitchen for a wonderful evening.
Be the first to ReplyNot worth $300 per person
When a meal costs nearly $300 per person (we were a party of six) with 3 bottles of wine shared among 6 people, the whole experience should be pretty darn amazing. To be fair, every course was delicious and the service was excellent, but the venue and decor did not match the hefty price tag. This is why the Inn at little Washington has remained on top of the scene for so long — the food might not be quite as inventive but dining there is an event to remember. The restaurant’s basement locale could have been dressed up with flowers and greenery but sadly it was not. The only sign of life were a few vases of forsythia branches and a minimalist mini calla lily laying in a little stone holder in the middle of our huge plain round table for 6. If I had wanted flowers I would have had to order them from their florist which would surely added a few hundred dollars more to the price tag. Also disappointing was the restaurant’s refusal to even put a candle on the desert for my husband’s birthday. They don’t do candles apparently, but during the night a couple in the back room had a candelabra on their table with three lit tapers!
The food was excellent and the “pasta” made of mushrooms was pretty exceptional, as was the tuna carpaccio on top of a fancy tater tot (my interpretation of the dish). I had no complaints about the food, it’s just at this price I wish they could have had more ambiance. The room was fine but they needed more candlelight and flowers. Such a missed opportunity. I doubt we will be back to Metier but will probably try Kinship upstairs.
Could have been better
I would start off by saying the meal itself was an impeccable experience from beginning to end, service was superb, but the course offerings were just underwhelming. Would rate a solid 3.5.
The decor is very homey feeling but not overdone, clean. Ambiance is great as well, and love the kitchen view in Metier!
We arrived early and waited in the small sitting area by the entrance. We were taken down group at a time to the lower level, and seated comfortably on some lounge chairs to start an apertif and hors d'oeuvres. Honestly, think the hors d'oeuvres were the best part of the meal. All 3 were interestingly flavored, the foie gras cider was to die for. Could have had a large bowl of it! They took a nice picture for us to celebrate our anniversary here as well.
Once we finished, we were then taken into the main dining area and shown to our seats. The service was truly impeccable as mentioned previously. Water always refilled, plates and silverware changed out appropriately, finished dishes picked up efficiently, staff very attentive throughout the entire meal.
The dishes were honestly not as exciting as we thought they would be from the preface of the hors d'oeuvres:
- Bluefin Toro Sashimi: nice blend of flavors of grapefruit and the lemon snow. But have definitely had better quality toro.
- Linguine & Clams: ok nothing to brag about. The fried littleneck clams' batter was quite good, but the fresh clams were extremely fishy
- Main Lobster: probably my favorite dish out of the menu. Lobster was cooked very well, succulent, and the celery root emincee was very creative.
- Pekin Duck Confit: always questionable when chefs try to cook Asian food. Of Asian descent myself, this was pretty terrible. The dumpling stuffing was tasteless and the shell had no texture to the bite. The duck was dry and the sauce was extremely salty. (Pekin duck has a crispy skin only and juicy meat interior. So if this was truly a play off Pekin duck, it was a miss).
- Kuroge Beef Short Rib: creative dish on all fronts (faux bone marrow, mustard sorbet). The beef was tender, consomme delicious, and the touches of refreshing mustard sorbet and the sharp taste of picked veggies was great. I didn't like that this dish came with so much bread. Almost like they knew we wouldn't be full off the courses, and supplemented with bread. I don't eat plain bread and no surprise, I wasn't very full.
- Appletini: firstly, not a huge fan of course meals with 2 desserts. Skipping out on an entree course! This course bluntly speaking, could have been skinnied down and made into an intermezzo. It wasn't that great and I would have better understood a 6 course meal with this intermezzo.
- White Chocolate/Saffron Soft Caramel: didn't like this dish at all, did not taste the saffron and the flavors didn't mix well. This may have just been personal preference as I don't like caramel, barely touched it.
They ended the meal with some cookies & cream, and gave us a lovely booklet with the menu, our picture from earlier in the night, handwritten note from the Chef and his wife, and a little snack for us to make at home.
Overall, the restaurant isn't bad, but it lacks the wow factor - especially at the price point and as a Michelin 1*. The last restaurant we went to was Masseria, which at a lower price point, same 1* level, left a much more impressionable memory.
A Wonderful Restaurant to Celebrate a Festive Occasion! Very Innovative and Delicious Cooking!
This 11-table Michelin Star Restaurant is co-located with the Kinship Restaurant (also with a Michelin star), both of which are owned and managed by the celebrated chef. Eric Ziebold and his wife and business partner, Celia Laurent. It is a wonderful place to celebrate a festive occasion - in our case, we celebrated my wife's birthday.
We started of with an aperitif, which included caviar plus a mousse, washed down by a wonderful cocktail consisting of sparkling wine, rum and cinnamon. The dinner itself consisted of a seven course tasting menu, including three seafood courses, a wonderful puree of savoy cabbage soup; pan roasted beef and two excellent deserts. A very good wine list, including a spectacular champagne selection.
Finally, as an extra course, we were served a panful of freshly/prepared mini cinnamon buns with sunchoke (Jerusalem artichoke) sauce, which we washed down with shot glasses of hot-buttered rum.
On the way out, we were given a nice booklet to commemorate the occasion, including the dinner menu as well as the makings of hot chocolate.
The restaurant is well-appointed, where the kitchen is separated by a glass window, enabling one to watch the kitchen staff as one dines.
All-in-all, while expensive, it was a spectacular dining experience and well worth the money!
