I had a very disappointing experience at Doris Metropolitan Houston.
I brought a guest with me expecting a nice dinner, but unfortunately the evening turned into a very frustrating situation. We were charged $132 for a “22 oz Bone-In Tenderloin Special”, which does not appear anywhere on the menu, and the price was never communicated to us before ordering.
On top of that, we specifically asked for the steak to be medium, but it arrived burnt and overcooked. We informed the server, who said they would speak with the manager, but no manager ever came to the table and nothing was done to address the issue.
Because I had invited a guest, I didn’t want to create an uncomfortable scene at the restaurant. However, this ended up being a very embarrassing experience for me in front of my guest.
Afterward, I tried to contact the restaurant regarding a refund for the undisclosed menu item, but I have received no response at all.
Charging customers for items that are not listed on the menu and without disclosing the price is extremely disappointing. I hope the restaurant takes responsibility and resolves this situation.

I’ve been coming here for about a decade now and have come many times over the years. Service food atmosphere is consistently good. The bartenders and servers are genuinely pleasant. If anyone ever ask me where to get a steak in the city or a good cocktail or a good cheeseboard, I always recommend Doris.

The food and atmosphere was fantastic however our server lacked basic service etiquette . When we asked her questions about menu she seemed to not know the answer . Perla , our server ,then forgot to place an order of steak for my husband . She apologized and we had to wait for what felt like 30 more minutes for it to come out. She didn’t send a manager or anything to our table . Left such a bad taste in my mouth that I couldn’t even order dessert . This is truly unacceptable because the point of dining out , especially at such a nice establishment is to dine and eat out at the same time . What a shame because everything else was fantastic . Besides service being slow everything else was nice . We spent a lot of money to get just a sorry . Unacceptable . Will come back however be wary of this server

Took the family out for the wife's birthday. Felipe, our server, was amazing. It is so hard to find quality service these days and this gentleman knocked it out of the park...made the meal very special.
The cocktails, appetizers, steaks / mains, and desserts were all very, very good.
Alex, the manager, stopped by to check on us as well.
What a great evening and meal. 10 out of 10!

Had a nice dinner here. The steak was cooked well and had great flavor, and the appetizers were just as enjoyable. The atmosphere felt upscale but still comfortable, and the service was attentive throughout the meal. It’s a bit on the higher end price-wise, but overall a solid spot for a special night out.

Absolutely a must if you like meat (especially steaks) with an amazing process and story. The breads & dips are to die for, and the main course mouth watering. I had the ribeye with asparagus and the Jerusalem Salad as sides. All pure perfection. Staff was very courteous and knowledgeable about each dish. Great atmosphere. Cannot recommend enough. Will be back!!
Food was horrible, steak was horrible, bread service was great along with oysters and cocktails! Service was decent. I’d never return solely because the food is not worth the price. It’s very bland and compared to other steak houses I’ve been to, definitely at the bottom of my list.

I stopped by Doris Metropolitan tonight for the first time to celebrate my birthday with a friend, and it exceeded every expectation. The service, from Brandon and B at the bar, led by Kyle the General Manager, is the epitome of true hospitality—thoughtful, genuine, and increasingly rare.
From the moment we arrived, everything felt intentional yet effortless. This is what you expect when you go out to eat: exceptional service, attention to detail, and a team that truly cares about the experience. I will absolutely be coming back.

We have gone to Doris many times. Tonight was a curiously off night for service. Our server was too absent. We once thought about sending a get well card. I had to ask to order wine after the wine list was taken away without taking our order. Then the completely wrong wine was brought, even after I spelled out the wine,Tor. Food was great. I think it was an off night. We will still frequent Doris. It has always provided innovation and excellence in their food experience.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I went to Doris Metropolitan Steakhouse tonight (Friday at 8 PM) with a reservation at the bar, and it was packed—definitely a popular spot! I was craving a great steak and margarita, and this place delivered. 🍹🥩
The service was excellent—friendly, fast, and super helpful, especially since it was my first visit. The Piña Margarita was delicious, and the Butcher’s Cut steak with grilled asparagus was fantastic. Everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. 😋
I highly recommend Doris Metropolitan, but I’d suggest going when it’s not as busy for a more relaxed experience. If I had to mention any downsides: I’m not a fan of valet parking 🚗, I wish there were more parking options, the tables are very close together, and it gets very loud when it’s crowded.
