Visited Doris Metropolitan in New Orleans for a celebratory dinner, and the experience delivered. We started with the octopus appetizer, which was one of the better starters of the night. Rich, layered, and well-balanced with fresh elements that worked together on the plate. For entrées, we had a variety of cuts, including the Australian Wagyu, ribeye, butcher's cut, and lamb chops. The Wagyu stood out immediately. High quality, great sear, and finished tableside, which added to the overall experience without taking away from the food itself. Each steak was cooked precisely to temperature and full of flavor. The lamb chops paired with carrots and brussels were well executed and balanced. The sides complemented the meal well and did not feel like afterthoughts. You can also see their in-house dry aging setup, which speaks to the level of detail they put into their steak program. It shows in the final product. The drinks were solid across the board. The Old Fashioned and bourbon selections paired well with the meal and matched the food's quality. Service by Noelle was attentive and responsive throughout the night. Everything flowed well, and we were taken care of without feeling rushed or hovered over. This is not a casual dinner spot, but for a celebration or a night where you want a full experience, Doris Metropolitan absolutely delivers. read more

Not actually sure about the food or ambiance about this place because in retrospect, the attitude of the bartender who "served" us is all we can remember. It started the moment we walked in. Glancing at the hostess, asking "OK to sit at the bar?", getting a nod, sitting down. An experience we've done in hundreds of restaurants. (We had reservations for a table but often prefer the bar.) The bartender -- whom we believe was named Mike -- started off his interaction with new customers as follows. "Did you check with the hostess?" I nodded in the affirmative, apparently that wasn't enough. "Check with the hostess", he ordered. I got up, went over the hostess stand, and confirmed, this time so "Mike" could see, that it was OK for us to sit at a half-empty bar. (In retrospect, we should have gotten up and walked out immediately, but it was late and even in the Quarter most places were closing for dinner.) You see, Mike clearly didn't want to be working that night. He was rude, inattentive, and condescending. And not just to us, to everyone seated at the bar. Slow making drinks, slow asking for orders, seething contempt for his customers. One time we asked to see a drink menu to decide on a new drink, he said, and this is a direct quote, "Do you want to see it or do you want to review it?" Mike's behavior was clearly well-known to the staff, because another staff member, who was off-shift and next to us at the bar, witnessed this behavior and arranged for a free dessert on the house (classy move on her part). She confided in us that Mike's pretty much always like that, but that he's a buddy of the general manager so seemingly un-fireable. Well, here's hoping someone reads this and thinks the better of Doris Metropolitan, or at least sitting at the bar. Unless you think service you'd get in a Paris tourist trap cafe is appropriate for a high-end steakhouse, you're better off spending your hard-earned money elsewhere. read more

I stopped in for dinner at Doris Metro last night with a friend and we ate at the bar as they didn't have tables open. When you walk in there is a glass case to your left showing meat in storage and to the right at the end of the bar is a butcher case for displaying cut steaks. The restaurant has a central courtyard that was nice, who doesn't like to eat outside under the stars. The wall that surrounds that courtyard is where they keep wine for the restaurant, which I thought was a nice aesthetic. The service was fine but not all that noteworthy in either way. For my dinner, I ordered a 14 ounce ribeye. They sous vide the steaks there, which is kind of like cheating, but the result was spectacular. Now, if you haven't read in one of my other reviews before, I am extremely picky about steak. I make a mean steak, and I'm disappointed at restaurants that cannot make a steak as good or better than I can. Doris did not disappoint! She whipped out a steak that is one of the best I've ever eaten. I need to note that the truffle fries were also spectacular, the carrots were very good. And a special note about the bread. I usually do not eat much bread at restaurants as I want my calories to be packed with flavor. Once again, Doris did not disappoint. All three of the breads they gave me were in the top ten of my favorite breads. 10 out of 10, would recommend read more

I'll admit Doris Metropolitan was not on my list of places to try in New Orleans, but now that I've been there I can't stop talking about it! My good friends and I went here for a Holiday Meal and reservations were a must have as they were super popular! We were sat outside in their patio area, where it was quite spacious. They were careful to not overfill the tables so everyone can have the best experience. Our waitress was absolutely fabulous with so much personality and knowledge. She quite literally knew everything about the menu, how everything was prepared, and could accommodate all your requests! Top notch for sure! Then there was the food! We got a couple of appetizers to start, the Eggplant and the Tuna Tartare. Both were very shareable and combined with the complimentary bread were perfect! At that point we were already getting full but went forward with the main courses anyways! I got the Hangar Steak with Mushroom Ragu, Medium well. And for someone who doesn't eat a lot of meat, I was very impressed by the flavors! For sides we got the brussel sprouts and truffle fries. The truffle fries did it for me with the perfect crisp texture and good amount of truffle. For dessert, we went with the Tiramisu. Now that was an experience! Other places have their Banana Foster, Doris Metropolitan has their Tiramisu! It was a presentation coming out as a chocolate dome and then melting away in to the Tiramisu beneath. 100% recommend trying this place out at least once! read more

What an incredible meal - we were here for a company event and had a sampler of steaks - the ribeye is divine! NY Strip Steak and tenderloin w/ marrow was also good too. Cocktails were excellent as well. Appetizers were mediterranean themed and also very good. The restaurant was able to accommodate a very large group (30+) in the beautiful courtyard area and we had a fabulous time. read more

My wife loved her steak! I am probably wrong about this, but I kinda think steak is a guy thing. Let me at least say it is in my house. I like steak, my wife likes me, we go eat steak at restaurants. When we go my wife will typically not order steak. This night however, was different. I was nervous. She ordered the classified cut. What is it? Well, I could tell you, but then I would have to, well you know. I ordered the dry aged bone in strip my usual. Here is the thing, when the food came, and I watched as she took her first bite with bated breath, she looked over and said "well it's about time I got a really good steak."Holy crap! Mikey likes it. Wow, was she right. My steak was good, hers was great. Both steaks were cooked perfectly. I have noticed at these nicer steak restaurants you might want to order your temp one level more done, especially, if you don't like steaks on the more red side. We do like ours a bit more red so we are usually happy with the temp. We also ordered a dessert called a Bonaparte that was delicious. It was a kinda like a napoleon. It was phyllo dough, a whipped cream interior that was very tasty and had a raspberry sauce. We didn't know this but when you sit down they bring a bread plate and fancy butters. We especially liked the onion bread with za'atar butter, but all of them were good and there is a lot of it. We sat in the courtyard, and it was hot that day, but we were comfortable. I will say the music was a bit loud, and our waiter offered to turn it down because he and us were having trouble hearing each other. He did turn it down, that lasted about 5 minutes but then someone set it back to stun. A minor annoyance in the grand scheme of things. That brings us to our waiter. What a fine fellow. He was super accommodating. He was very down to earth and even though this place was on the higher end of places to eat he was never snooty or uptight. I mean this is the French quarter after all in the big easy. Everyone relax and let it flow. What a great night. My wife finally ate a steak she enjoyed. I think we are coming back next month and I am getting the classified cut. read more

We had an amazing time here! Came for a nice dinner during our friend's bachelorette trip. This place is pricey but worth it - you get what you pay for. The entire space is beautiful - I love that you can see the dry aged meats when you walk in. We were seated in the courtyard, which was lovely. The service was top tier. Our server Bobby was phenomenal and gave us some treats on the house to celebrate our friend. He let us take our time but we never had to look for him. My friend also decided to try a different temperature of steak for the first time and didn't like it -- they didn't hesitate to cook her meat a little more for her. The food and drinks were delicious and fresh. Even the complimentary bread was great! Our cocktails were flavorful with good liquor content - the espresso martini was especially yummy. Our steaks were cooked to perfection and the sides were great too. The only thing we didn't love was the tiramisu - the whiskey glaze was a little too strong and overpowered the taste of the dessert. Will absolutely be back the next time I'm in the city! read more

Believe the hype, this place is the best steakhouse in the city. Followed closely by Chop House and Dickie Brennans. They start you off with a bread trio and a butter trio. The sesame seed bread was probably my least favorite of the 3 but we did inhale all of it, it does not mean it was not good, just less good. That butter was amazing, I liked the garlic butter best. Then there was an olive oil dip on the table as well. This carb and olive oil girl was certainly in heaven with this to start and it was all technically complimentary! For apps we ordered the Carpaccio. This was really the greatest Carpaccio I have ever had. Prior to this, my #1 was at Chop House. This one is so much more than just raw meat. They add an array of amazing flavors that I am still thinking about 2 months later. They had cheese on top, a Parmigiano-Reggiano and then they add balsamic vinegar balls. I was digging around this dish to figure out what it was, I had to ask the waiter. He explained they make the balsamic balls in house and it just adds bursting flavors to the dish. The dish also had baby arugula as well as jalapeno. It didn't really need those last two ingredients but this is something I will have to order the next time I go here. Then for entrees, steaks of course. I got the tenderloin; it comes with bone marrow which it a nice value. I did give it to my hubby since he loves bone marrow more than me. Service was incredible. They have a cute outdoor courtyard like more NOLA restaurants have. It's located in the French Quarter so off-street parking. There is a meat section, hanging meat, you can purchase if you don't want to dine in. And they have a HH Mon to Thur. read more

We ate here last year, and it was excellent. Can't say the same this year,May 2026. I ordered the NY strip cooked medium and some sides. Steak was $75. My order came out and the steak was practically raw. I Sent it back, and the same piece of meat was now charred and burnt on the outside and still raw inside. Just horrible! The service was also terrible. They brought us food we didn't order and our sides didn't show up with our meal. I had the server bring the manager to our table, and I explained to him that this meal was unacceptable and wanted the steak taken off our bill. We got the bill and the steak was not taken off!!! To say the least I was extremely disappointed and a little angry with this experience at this supposed high end steakhouse. Will never eat here again! Also I noticed that several recent reviews of this establishment were not good! I've had better steaks at Black Angus! read more

We had an enjoyable meal at Doris. They are extremely expensive so certainly not something we can do often, but for special occasions it's worth it. The inside is lovely, I'm pretty sure we sat in the courtyard but it was hard to tell for sure because I think it's covered for winter, very comfortable regardless. The wine selection is very large although we opted for Dirty Martinis which were on point. We had the charcuterie board plus cheese, it was a large amount of meats and cheeses and delicious. Oh I must talk about the bread! Three flavors one with onion that was decadent. For dinner I had Falls off the bone, so very tender and full of flavor, I actually ate the whole thing. Service was very good too. read more

In town for the essence festival, my friends insisted that we go to the Doris Metropolitan and I have never heard of it before and I've been to New Orleans more times than I can count. It was amazing evening, the restaurant is laid out and way that feels spacious and almost feels like private dining rooms. The service was phenomenal the owner the weight staff were all attentive and engaged. Our server pointed out the specials answered all of our questions.. I had the spring moon cocktail which was a satisfying combination of citrus, lychee, rose, elderflower, and vodka. For dinner, I had truffle fries and the classified cut with the root purée and grilled asparagus. My steak was cooked, medium and It was delicious. It was mouthwatering the right touch of seasoned and grilled just right with a touch of char on the outside It was cooked to perfection. read more

I can tell that this restaurant focuses on valuing their customers and providing excellent food and service. read more

We had dinner here for the first time a few weeks ago. We were seated in the bar area, feet away from their aging room. The restaurant is beautiful; loved the open kitchen concept and decor. Adam was our server and he was great! He provided great recommendations, was attentive and very friendly. From the start, we were obsessed! We started off with their fresh bread and butter/olive oil and octopus - both amazing! We also had an old fashion and a daiquiri for drinks and the prawns and polenta and butchers choice steak for dinner. Everything was phenomenal! Highly recommend :) read more

Doris Metropolitan has been on my radar for quite some time, so mom and I stopped in for a drink at the bar. This Mediterranean inspired steakhouse is known for its high-quality meats, but you can also get premium seafood and high-end caviar service as well. The ambience is classy & elegant and you will receive a friendly welcome when you arrive. We sat at the bar and the lovely Jaz took care of us. Two Grey Goose Martini's dry - one with Blue Cheese stuffed olives for me and regular olives for mom. We ordered the Truffle Fries to share, and Jaz asked if we wanted some bread. I was initially going to say no, but I'm so glad I said yes because the bread was amazing! There were three types - Jalapeno Cheddar, Onion, & Sesame Brioche. They were fresh & hot out of the oven and were served with three different butters and a tomato confit with olive oil & balsamic. Each one was delicious, and it was obvious that the bread is baked in house. The truffle fries were also very good, and our martinis were excellent. Based on the exceptional service and the life changing bread platter, I will definitely come back for a sit-down meal here. I'll may even have to splurge on the caviar!

Doris Metropolitan is one of our favorite spots for a memorable dinner--whether it's a date night or dining out with a great group of friends. The atmosphere is upscale but welcoming, and the service is consistently top-notch. The Shawarma beef appetizer is a must. It's grilled to perfection and paired with creamy hummus--honestly, I could make a meal of just that. In fact, I often do, and I always add the beetroot salad on the side. The combination is incredible--flavorful, balanced, and satisfying. Highly recommend for anyone who loves bold flavors, a great wine list, and a place that nails the details every time. read more

We entered the restaurant promptly at 5:15 for our reservation and were looking forward to enjoying some steaks. The place was almost empty except for a few tables. Unfortunately, due to their ridiculously bad service, we were out the door within moments. The host took us to a small corner table that was pinned between a wall and another table of people. There were maybe four inches of space between our table and these other random people we didn't know. It left zero room for conversation or privacy. We kindly asked for a different table in the vacuously empty restaurant. The manager refused. We then asked to sit at their also vacuously empty bar. He refused, claiming all the bar seats were also reserved. (Note: They don't even provide a mechanism for reserving bar seats, so I am unsure what he was even talking about. Further, the international bar norm is "first come, first served.") Due to the lack of a proper accommodation, we were forced to leave and go somewhere else. This place must be making money hand over fist if they can so comfortably and callously push $500+ out the door. We'll never be back, and we will advocate for others to avoid them. read more

I did a ton of research so I could take my boyfriend to a special birthday dinner during our visit and, after much deliberation (NOLA is PACKED with amazing dining options!), I decided to make my reservation for Doris Metropolitan. And when I tell you that this was my favorite meal of our entire trip (maybe even so far this year?!) I am NOT playing around! First off, the wine menu is EXTENSIVE. Luckily, they have an in-house somm. to help you decide. We ended up going with a bottle from a little town we visited in Bordeaux, St. Emilion. It was divine. For food, we started off with the beets and the cheese board, both of which were incredible. And the bread basket with the assorted butters was quickly devoured as well. For dinner, we went with the Butcher's Cut and the Tenderloin. The Butcher's Cut came with mushrooms and the Tenderloin came with bone marrow. The steaks were perfectly seasoned, perfectly tender, and perfectly cooked. It was like eating a dream. On top of the food being incredible, our service was impeccable. Our server was so sweet and had the best sense of humor (not stuffy or uppity AT ALL). We truly enjoyed our time with her and if I'm ever back in New Orleans again (and I hope I will be) I will absolutely be coming back! read more

Starting out the place is very pretty and service is amazing. But from reviews and claims such as best new restaurant I'd expected more. Started with 3 appetizers and based on these didn't make it to main course. Tomato salad was very under seasoned. This is not the place to ask for salt and pepper but I had to. The artichoke salad also lacked a punch and was very subtle. Best appetizer by far the tuna tartare. That was amazing. And while the homemade bread was tasty and came with some amazing flavored butters and oil, homemade bread that fresh should not be that hard. It was difficult to pull apart and cut. Server was amazing and very attentive and friendly. read more

This was recommended to us by locals and it didn't disappoint. We started with the beets which was amazing and very flavorful. We then split the rib eye and got it medium rare + and it was PERFECT.
