Delicious 3 bread type starter with unique dips that were delicious, the server definitely made sure to tell us what they were :) The 14oz ribeye was prepared perfectly, they place the salt and pepper to the side so you season to your hearts desire. The root puree was absolute perfection (I ordered a second helping) and wonderfully prepared with the buttered asparagus. The service was eloquent and very friendly, we happened to find this beautiful spot and still decided to go despite not dressing up [sadly t-shirt and pants and sneakers] (you'll want to be dress up at least semi formal), regardless we were treated like royalty from the very moment we arrived. Very quiet and ambient and low lit, definitely an upscale feel with welcoming layout and staff. Very attentive staff who made sure each moment was taken care of and it was lovely to be treated with so much hospitality. The gentleman at the front wished us a great stay for the rest of the time we're in Houston. Definitely will return. Pricing is higher than the average steakhouse but we split our large steak and the portions and quality were definitely worth the price point. Please make it a point to come here a gem in Houston read more

Great place to celebrate a birthday! It was such a cute touch to receive a card signed by all the staff. I absolutely loved the three-bread appetizer. It was perfectly crispy on the outside and wonderfully soft and hot on the inside. Honestly, I would come back just for the bread. We started with the tuna tartare, which unexpectedly reminded me of dumplings. While it wasn't bad, because of the flavor, it kind of reminded me of raw dumplings, which threw me off a little. The octopus, however, was great. It was tender, though my personal preference would have been for a little more char. We visited on a Monday night to take advantage of the half-off Wagyu special. They bring the steak out on a cutting board and light a stem of sage to smoke the meat before slicing it table side. It was cooked just how I liked it, medium rare, where it's still pink and tender but not bloody. It was a fantastic presentation, and the truffle fries were a great side. To finish, we ordered the crème brûlée because the lychee foam and rose cream intrigued me. It was served outside of the traditional ceramic dish, which was a first for me, but it was absolutely delicious. I would definitely order it again. Service was incredibly friendly and water refills were prompt. It is definitely pricier, but we had an overall wonderful time and left stuffed. read more

There's a certain kind of place that doesn't just serve food it sets a tone the second you walk in. Doris Metropolitan is exactly that. Dimly lit, dialed in, and dressed to the nines the kind of room that makes you sit up a little straighter without even realizing it. We came in during happy hour and kept it simple -- just a run of appetizers. But here's the thing: "simple" doesn't mean small. The portions were generous, almost deceptive. The burger alone? Easily big enough to split between two people, and plenty of couples and families around us were doing exactly that. It wasn't just bar food filler it had weight, substance, and intention. Across the board, the food was good satisfying, well-executed, and matched the price point perfectly. Nothing felt overpriced, nothing felt like a miss. For a place that looks this upscale, the happy hour pricing is surprisingly grounded, which makes the whole experience feel like you're getting away with something. What really sticks with you, though, is the atmosphere. It's beautiful without trying too hard, polished but still warm. The kind of place where you could just as easily have a quiet date night as you could celebrate something big. It may not have been a full deep dive into the menu this time, but based on what we had, Doris Metropolitan knows exactly what it's doing and it does it with style. A genuinely great experience from start to finish. read more

This was the final stop of our fancy Houston foodie trip. We had a reservation for a Friday night and the restaurant was full. This is definitely one of those spots you go for a special occasion, company event, or if you have extra dollars to blow to wine and dine real fine. Personally, we were there for a friends birthday and went all out. This restaurant is luxe with rolled toilettes and mouth wash in the bathroom. We jumped in with an order of espresso martinis and the caviar tower. The caviar was divine, served on a beautiful platter with blinis, lemon zest, pickled onions, fruits, and crème fraiche. It wasn't long until the full table was doing caviar bumps. We couldn't get enough of it. Other standout appetizers included the bread plate, octopus, heirloom tomato salad, fattoush, Jerusalem salad, tuna tartare, and artichokes. The focaccia on the bread plate was shaped like a bialy and was to die for. It was perfectly fresh and warm with an olive oil finish. The melt in your mouth tuna tartare was also a stand out. All of the dishes were made perfectly, it's hard to pick a favorite so it comes down to preference of taste. I prefer sour cream, tzatziki, and labneh in moderation, so the Jerusalem salad, fattoush, and octopus were smaller bites for me but still all around incredible and beautifully plated. I was a huge fan of the egg yolk in the tomato salad and how it provided a sunny runny pairing to the crisp acidity of the heirloom harvest. For our mains we ordered all of the meats. I had the rib eye cooked medium rare and loved the plated side of pink salt and black pepper where I was able add additional seasoning my steak to my liking. Around the table we ordered lamb chops, tenderloin, and the catch of the day (grouper). I wasn't able to try it all as we were swimming in food at this point but everyone was pleased. For our sides we had asparagus, truffle fries, and root puree. Everything was mouth watering and I could truly eat this meal again and again. Overall, I'd love to have another opportunity to visit a Doris Metropolitan. Thank you Houston! read more

Went with a friend for Social Hour (happy hour) on Wed night. Had the BEST experience! Started with free valet at entry making the parking a breeze. Then our bartender, Tony, was amazing! Made the best Doris Martini (only $10 during HH!) He made sure we always had water with our drinks and checked on us regularly - amazing customer service. We loved the bread service - get it! Then tried the Tenderloin Kebab... oooh my gosh, that was delicious! Then we were treated by a visit from Chef Michael who stopped by and talked to us about their beef and gave us some cool info about their wagyu (can't wait to try that next time!) Overall a 5 star experience and looking forward to coming back to try regular dinner service! read more

Outstanding experience! Elegant, special occasion type of place. Kind of a modern European type of decor. The service is a non stop rotation of people, and everything arrived hot and on time. Everything on the menu is kind of pricey, but it feels worth it. I love eating "I can't make this at home" types of plates. Exotic ingredients, complex flavors, labor intensive preparations, etc. Dry aged steaks, cooked to perfection. The sea bass and prawns were grilled quite nicely also. The roasted cauliflower appetizer was phenomenal. The bread is prepared from scratch, in house, and served with wonderful choices of flavored oils and butters. I would gladly come back here on another special occasion. read more

Went here to celebrate Christmas with some friends and had an AMAZING time. Everything from the ambiance to the service to the food was impeccable. DRINKS: The winter harvest was super interesting. I never had anything that was initially acidic and pungent with a slight hint of sweetness at the end. I couldn't really taste the persimmon note in the drink though which I was most excited about, but overall worth a try if you are looking for something unique. (5.5/10) The spicy margarita was refreshing with hints of jalapeño and cucumber and overall very standard. (6/10) The bread plate was so fresh and warm and I loved the variety of bread and butters/dips that they give you. Typically, I would avoid the bread and save my stomach for the other appetizers but I couldn't pass this up. The focaccia was super fluffy and paired with the smoked paprika butter was divine. The caramelized onion and feta roll was definitely my favorite of the three and I would definitely reorder this next time I'm here. (8.5/10) FOOD: The tomato salad was delicious and kept me interested with the multiple preparations of tomato. The dish was super light while still being well seasoned and overall the acidity and freshness makes it a great dish to order to juxtapose the richer and creamier appetizers. (8.5/10) The beetroot was the most unique item I tried all night. The cheese and pistachio filling stuffed inside was extremely decadent and complimented the sweetness of the beetroot super well. I would recommend this dish to any cheese lover. (8/10) The beef carpaccio was very fresh and lightly seasoned to let the taste of the beef really shine through. It was very comparable to other versions of this dish I've tried. (7/10) The octopus was my favorite appetizer. The charred grilled red onion paired with the creamy tzatziki, smoked tomato salad, and perfectly cooked octopus was one of the best bites of the night. I would highly recommend this dish to those who are a fan of Mediterranean flavors as this dish provides and elevated version of them. (9.5/10) The ribeye steaks were cooked medium rare and were very tender. I really enjoyed the smoky taste of the meat, but other than that there wasn't much flavor. I topped a few of my steak pieces with the bone marrow and I felt as though it didn't really enhance the flavor of the meat but just made the bite a bit richer. I felt like it was a bit bland overall and just like most other stakes I've tried, but I will say I'm not a huge steak fan. (6/10) The shrimp skewer was definitely more up my alley and were perfectly grilled and seasoned. I enjoyed the grilled vegetables on the skewer as well. I would order 2 of these next time I come. (8.5/10) The truffle fries were pretty standard, but who doesn't love a good fry? (8/10) The carrots were very well cooked and I enjoyed the labneh base, though I would've wanted to taste more of the spice for the harissa glaze. (6/10) The greens weren't anything special either but I think it was a good side to have along with the fatty steak and enjoyed the variety of greens it included. (6/10) DESSERT: The chocolate in bond is one of the top 10 desserts I've ever tried and that is coming from someone that only likes dark chocolate. The chocolate is so rich and creamy without being too sweet. That paired with the whiskey toffee, banana brulee and whiskey ice cream was exquisite. Though it may sound overwhelming, the richness and slight bitterness of the chocolate and whiskey ice cream counterbalances the sweetness of the banana brulee and toffee. (9.5/10) The cheesecake was also yummy. I enjoyed their take on a cheesecake and thought the smooth and creamy cheesecake with the white chocolate cream and a hint of the passionfruit sauce was very delightful. I felt like the lemon macaroons seemed a bit over the top and out of place, but overall still a great dessert (8/10) The sesa brulee, though it was unique, the halva did not add any flavor to the dessert and if anything just made it more difficult to cut through. The crème brulee was standard, but I did enjoy the rose and raspberry cream and fresh raspberries. Not my favorite dish, but worth a try if you are looking for a spiced up cream brulee. (6.5/10) Overall, the dining experience was super enjoyable and that is all thanks to our server Juan who was very attentive and really took care of us all night. Would definitely come back for a table with him. The parking is street parking as well as complementary valet. I would recommend this place for those looking for an upscale option to celebrate a special occasion. read more

I came here on a slower evening since the Houston Texas Rodeo was happening this month, so things weren't overly busy. Generally when you go out to eat your offered or volunteered what or if there was any specials and once you place your order bread service is either asked or sent out. None of that was solicited at me. These are fundamental or basic service practices. When I had asked after I placed my order I asked the other bartender if there were any specials, and she looked at me like what that was. I was like, wth, so I had to explain what dinner specials was and not sure they still understood. And by the way this wasn't a bar back helper. Big demerit! So I waited to see if the bartender who served me even thought of asking if I wanted bread service, nada. Another big demerit. I ended up going with the main entree Butchers Cut, medium rare and dessert. The protein was cooked well and to perfect temp as requested. For dessert you can't fail at Doris, and I landed on the Chocolate in Bond, was super tasty and very with that item. Service overall was good and friendly, but seemed a bit intentional in some of the omissions. Overall, the competition at other restaurants is better and those other places are on top of their service game. This night Doris failed themselves and the costumer too. This used to be a go to option for me but too many other choices to have to receive sub-par service, again. read more

Went to Doris with five friends for a guys' night and really enjoyed it. The atmosphere is upscale but still relaxed, and it's a great spot for groups or a nice dinner out. I ordered the ribeye, which was cooked perfectly, and we had mushrooms, Wagyu skewer, parmesan asparagus, and truffle fries. Just a heads-up: most sides are individual portions, so plan to order your own -- the fries are pretty much the only shareable option. Service was excellent, very attentive without being too much. Valet/parking was super easy, even on a busy night. Prices are definitely on the higher end, but the quality and overall experience make it worth it. I'd definitely recommend Doris for a good get-together or special night out read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in town, and I've been here multiple times, but this was the first time for happy hour! Their food and drinks are undoubtedly always delicious. Their service is always top-notch. Happy hour is as can be seen on the menu, and it's only served at the bar! So don't sit down at a table if you want a happy hour menu. It's still on the expensive side, but if you consider their normal prices, this is a pretty good deal. read more

Doris is a super cute date spot! A hidden gem that is so much more than it seems from the outside. The service was great, even on a busy night. We got the artichoke salad as an appetizer, and had some house bread service with it. For the main dish, we shared the bone in porterhouse that came with about 22oz of meat - a perfect blend of fatty pieces and light filet pieces. We got it cooked medium which tasted great but the only downside was the meat was a little cold. For sides, we got the greens and carrots. Overall this was a very refreshing meal that left us satisfied without being overly stuffed. I would love to come here again! read more

Doris Metropolitan offers fine dining that in my opinion aligns with the prices you'll pay for the experience. Upon arrival, the first impression of the exterior is simple with limited parking so expect to get lucky with street parking or take the easy route and use the valet service. Their interior is classy and dimly lit with appreciated spacing between tables so you will feel comfortable even with a packed restaurant. The staff is very professional, courteous and knowledgeable of all menu items, so engage them. I started with incredible cocktails from their specialty beverage list which were prepared by experts behind the bar. Don't just do your usual be daring and try one! My meal started with the Jerusalem Salad which was remarkable. They offer complimentary bread and oil that you'll love and likely eat too much. It's a steakhouse so I went all in on my favorite, a big juicy ribeye. The steak was cooked perfectly to my requested temperature and well seasoned to not to overpower the meat. Doris Metropolitan feels like a great idea for special occasion dining but I recommend more frequent "let's treat ourselves" visits. read more

Place kind of gave Miami vibes with their focus on presentation, ok food, and high prices. First glance at the menu shows that everything is very expensive with most wines costing around $20 per glass and $100 or more per bottle. For appetizers, we got the Chateaubriand Tartare and Artisan Cheeses, both I thought had their flaws. Assembling the cheese and jam was a bit difficult, and the lightest colored cheese was a weak player among the others. The tartare does not come with any egg mixed in so it's missing the traditional creamy flavor of a raw egg yolk, and the egg that sits on top is too overcooked to contribute significantly. Onto the steak and its sides. I heard that the restaurant specializes in a "meat board" which comes with a variety of different cuts of steak to share. It turns out that you order all the steaks separately and pay $8-$16 extra for the meats to be presented on a board. This goes back to what I said about their emphasis for display. We ordered the dry aged tomahawk which came in a board lit on fire. It was very eye catching and definitely the highlight of dinner. The steak itself was a bit tough, but the dry aged flavor was very strong. The mushrooms were our favorite side to pair with that. One downside was that the steak and bone marrow got cold very quickly, resulting in the bone marrow and any fat on the steak quickly solidifying within 10 mins of being served. To finish, we got the Sesa Brulee as dessert. The texture was great with nuts on top, a soft center, and a layer of crust underneath. The flavor however was not memorable, and I thought the cream dollops on top did not pair well with the brulee. Although I didn't find the food impressive, the service was out of this world, and I would give 5 stars for the service alone. Ashley is one of the best servers we've ever had and the whole dining experience felt smooth like butter thanks to her. We started the birthday dinner with complimentary shots and ended with some affogato and a sparkler. The vanilla ice cream was excellent, did not taste artificially sweet, and was actually better than the brulee we had ordered. Overall, the place would be fun if you come with a group and are looking to be entertained, but if you are looking for a mind blowing meal, things can be hit or miss depending on what you order. read more

Perfect for dinner or Happy Hour. Made a reservation for Happy Hour. So nice to be able to enjoy life and celebrate a milestone with a special family friend. Happy Hour is from 5-7 weeknight and 5-close on Mondays. Basically ordered almost everything on the HH menu. Israeli salad, tomato salad, their famous bread plate, tuna tartare, kebabs and tenderloin skewers. The salads are always so delicious. The tomato salads has a variety of tomatoes and is so light, so fresh and so delicious. The Israeli salad is served on a bed of tahini. Perfectly paired with the bread plate which includes three breads, focaccia, onion and cheese, and butters and an olive oil dipping sauce. The tuna tartare is a delicious bite. All of the steaks at Doris Metropolitan are choice cuts. Although I am not a steak lover, my hubby and our friend loved the kafta kebab and tenderloin served on the most delicious root purée. Add a pomegranate mock-tail and it was a perfect Happy Hour. Definitely make a reservation for Doris Metropolitan for dinner or Happy Hour. A great place to just celebrate life. read more

10/10 recommend! My husband and I have driven past this restaurant so many times since we moved to Houston in April and decided that our Halloween anniversary is the perfect excuse for us to go try it and celebrate. We made reservations online and we actually showed up a little early but they welcomed us like we were regulars, congratulated us on our anniversary and once we were sat, brought us a couple glasses of champagne to start our evening. Their Fall cocktail is like a boozy apple juice that I need on tap! It was so good and not a heavy drink. Their bread platter is to DIE for, I love that it's an assortment of bread and spreads. We also started off with a dozen oysters that were just so fresh and paired amazingly with their in-house tobassco sauce. Our entrees were a stead and their Fall Off the Bone short rib (which I will come in every day to enjoy if I could!). I took their short rib leftovers and enjoyed with some eggs in the morning and it was just as delicious. read more

Don't get me wrong, the food was perfect, but the pricing is questionable. We were charged for water- still/ambient water, the board that our steak was cut on, and many other small things. Service was good but I would have liked if our waiter went over the specials and/or the popular items before we ordered. For appetizers, we ordered the octopus and beef carpaccio. The octopus was a nice, thick tentacle over a bed of tzatziki which had a great, creamy blend of fresh garlic and citrus. The short rib was perfection. It literally fell off of the bone and had a great flavor from the tomato au jus. It came with a root purée which was Doris' version of mashed potatoes. I enjoyed the puree, however my table had mixed feelings about this side. We also had the porterhouse. This is a great meat selection for if you like fatty and lean meat! This dry aged meat came with salt on the side, and it was exactly what the meat needed for the perfect bite. As an additional side, we ordered the truffle fries. They tasted like any other restaurants truffle fries. read more
