Doris Metropolitan

Fantastic experience with great service and amazing food. One of the best steaks I’ve ever had in my life. We got two steaks and because we were celebrating my wife’s birthday, they brought it out on a chopping board with a safe fire! What a presentation!!!! Highly highly recommend if you are looking for fine dining steakhouse in the quarter.

One of the best steaks (dry aged ribeye) I ever had. Perfectly cooked. No sauces. Just salt and pepper on the plate. I also had a very unique and tasty tomato salad. My buddy couldn't stop talking about the steak tartare. Service fine, but uninspiring at this price point. Atmosphere was mah. We were put in a small side room which was quieter than the main dining room but also much less interesting. The sides were nothing to write home about. But, oh my God, that steak! Better than Desi Vegas (ate there the night before) which was good, but they were a AAA ball club, compared to the Majors, which was Doris.

Food: The food was all great, with the short rib being among the best I've ever had. The bread service was also delightful, and as simple as they were, the truffle fries were amazing. For a surprise, grab their version of a Shirley temple and a nice glass of red wine to go along with dinner. The asparagus was also good, and the Ribeye was good, although didn't stand beside the amazing shortrib. Service: I docked it a star for service due to our waiter not explaining the menu, not knowing the different butters, and not being able to articulate the chef's experience. Because of that, we likely spent a lot less, as I was interested in the chefs experience but couldn't receive a clear and easy to understand explanation of what it was or how it'd work. The manager on duty was great, and he made his way to our table for congrats and general checks on the experience. If our waiter would've carried the same enthusiasm, I would've given them 5 stars.

Lots to unpack! The service was absolutely the best I have ever received. The manager (I can’t remember his name) greeted us and made sure to check on us the entire evening. Our server Cesar was exceptional! He was very attentive and explained everything we had questions about. On to the food, we ordered the caviar ($250) and a few other appetizers(octopus, prawns, and bread) and each item was absolutely delicious. The prawns were seasoned to perfection and the caviar was like butter! (Well, it should be for the price 😂) I ordered the ‘Falls of the rack’.. I think that was the name of the spare ribs! And boy did they fall off the bones!! I also had a taste of the lamb chops, the fish (I honestly can’t remember which fish). I absolutely will be dining here again when I am in New Orleans again. I’d give it 10 stars but five is the max. Oh, the ambiance is great for a special occasion.

A very good meal, excellent experience with exceptional service. I'm not a fan of a steak dinner out in a restaurant (I can buy and cook a better steak at home), but Doris is the exception. Cooked perfectly with great flavor. I love the wine selection, atmosphere, and enjoyment of the entire evening. They truly understand a complete customer experience!

In our opinion the best restaurant in NOLA. Nothing else is close. Dry aged ribeye and falls off the bone short ribs were outstanding. Best dinner we've had in a long time. The in house baked bread was some of the most flavorful we've ever had. The beet appetizer is something memorable and we would go to Doris just for that and bread. Can't wait to return. Service out 5 star, outstanding.

This place is amazing. The atmosphere, the staff, and the food 🤌, omg so good. The atmosphere is fantastic, low light, wine bottles on display along the walls, beautiful courtyard, and comfortable seats. The staff was extremely on point. The server who brought the bread, dinner, and dessert was amazing at explaining the food and how to enjoy it best. My water was consistantly filled and never had me looking for a server. The food. Omg the food. The bread was baked in house. Fresh. Nice selection of spreads of butter, but the oil/vinegar combo is the best I have ever had. Mouth watering. Dinner was just as good. I got the Picanha. Which has to be cooked just right to be good. It was stellar. The presentation was amazing as well. I enjoyed the small bit of Himalayan salt and crushed black pepper on the edge of the plate to season to your own tastes. Dessert was the Chocolate Nemesis I believe. Amazing as well. Presentation here matches the quality of the dining. Very impressed. This is my new favorite spot when I visit.

Highly recommend! This was my favorite NOLA dining experience. We loved the high end food, paired with the open concept kitchen that just made for an amazing, laid back vibe. Steaks were cooked beautifully, served rested and sliced. The shrimp special was phenomenal. Our waitress was great- she misheard my husband’s drink order (no big deal) and she voluntarily covered it herself. The manager (I assume) stopped to talk with all the guests. We will be back!

We dined her in September 2023. The food, staff, and ambiance was next level. We ordered the NY Strip, Lamb Chops, bread service, hummus plate, and the restaurants take on the napoleon dessert. It was scrumptious and cooked perfectly. A huge shout out to Anthony (manager) who took care of us. I have nothing but great things to say about this place. Will definitely come back again.
