The food was prepared perfectly. The service prompt and the ambiance of the restaurant is quiet elegance. I've read poor reviews and give it pause before we tried. However, we were pleasantly surprised. We would come again and bring guests. read more

Food is great but can be slow . Drinks are very unique and binge worthy but even on a slow night you'll be waiting quite a while . The decor is beautiful and a very modern industrial vibe . Love it . I'd def recommend and will be back . Tomahawk steak delish. Demi glaze 10/10. Filet excellent. Filet meatball 12/10. read more

Everything about this experience was almost comically bad. The place wasn't busy yet we waited 15-20 minutes to get a waiter after being seated. 4 people, 1 water glass. The bread was so dry and hard it would chip a tooth if you're not careful. The service was bad from start. The food was bland and just not good. We got the bill and discovered we actually paid for the horrible bread I couldn't believe it. Would give zero stars if possible. read more

Having lived in Fall River for almost 20 years, sometimes I forget that there are delicious spots right here at home. My boyfriend took me to Douro for Valentine's Day, and the menu did not diaappoint! We got drinks at the bar as we waited to be seated, both were top notch. For our meal, we had the white cheese plate and I got tithe lobster ravioli and he, the Portuguese filet mignon. We shared some Brussels sprouts and mashed for sides. Everything was delicious! Our waiter Eddy was awesome and inviting. I would definitely recommend Douro/Townehouse to anyone for their next dat read more

We had to try Douro's outdoor patio and it was great! Spacious and private without feeling in the middle of the city. I tried the Portuguese steak and hubby tried the Mozambique chicken and both were flavorful and delicious. Red wine sangria was very good! You MUST try. Our server was right on point and attentive. We recommend to everyone we know. We highly recommend! read more

OMG!! This place is amazing!!! From food to drinks to atmosphere it's a 5 star from my wife and I! This is definitely a must visit restaurant we rave about this place enough and service is amazing as well!! read more

Food and service were fantastic. After taking a dip a couple years ago, they have come back strong! Will definitely be back!

I had an anniversary meal here. The food was absolutely out of this world. It was SO good I couldn't even believe it. I had the gnocchi and steak, and it was truly the best I've ever had. My boyfriend had the crusted chicken. It was unbelievably good! Ambience was nice, and the whole experience was great for a nice special night out! read more

We went after seeing them listed as a participant in the Fall River Restaurant Weeks website. They were able to accommodate my handicap with good parking even though there is VERY limited parking. We ordered very different combinations, but for my dinner, I wanted my Portuguese Steak cooked blue, or very rare. When it arrived, unfortunately, it was more than medium. So, I sent it back, and luckily our waiter, who did have trouble communicating with us throughout the evening, got the issue resolved and my Steak was delivered to perfection. Everything else was spectacular, too. Bravo! read more

Coming back to say that Douro is consistently excellent. I swayed from my normal favorite appetizer, the sticky cauliflower, in favor of the calamari. Now I have TWO favorites! Great job as always. read more

Eddie the manager was absolutely AMAZING and kind... making sure customers were happy and had what they needed... Miles the bartender is new but you'd never know it... drinks were IMPECCABLE.. Atmosphere is calming and relaxing... Definitely will be back again read more

The web site says "Each dish, a masterpiece crafted with care, narrating tales of heritage and authenticity." So after waiting an hour and half for you meal you would expect something above average. What we got was... well... "Meh". I ordered the 24oz rib eye, the only rib eye option aside from the tomahawk rib eye. It was cooked to order, medium rare, and arrived with a nice crust. My baked potato was sitting in a dish in a pool of melted butter, no the butter had not been poured over the potato; the potato had been placed in the butter. I cut into my rib eye and took a bite. I was expecting flavor and tenderness, that is not what I got. There were no seasonings on my rib eye, no salt, no pepper, no garlic... nothing and it was lacking the tenderness I expect from a rib eye. No salt or pepper on the potato, nothing on the skin of the potato, and no salt or pepper on the tables. If you're not going to season the food as you cook it you should be providing salt and pepper to your diners! Also, the glazed carrots were, in my opinion, under cooked and much to firm for my liking. One of the other people went with (there were 4 of us) ordered the crispy duck. Apparently it was not crispy and half of it was dry. Duck, dry? Yup. The third person said her potatoes were tasty, that was the best she could say about her meal. The fourth person had no complaints except the hour an half wait. For this I paid $163 dollars for 2 people. A supposedly high end steak house serving "masterpieces crafted with care" took too long to deliver below average food. No, I won't be returning and no, I don't recommend the place. In case you're thinking it was an isolated experience, the table next to us got up to walk out because the food hadn't arrived after an hour and half. It was coming out as they left so they returned to the table and ate. By comments they made they were not very impressed by the quality of their meal either. You've been warned. Try it at your own risk. read more

Food was awesome. Ate outside in their patio. Great atmosphere even just walking thru the restaurant. Service was awesome. Everyone was very amicable. Anderson our server was awesome. Highly recommend this spot. read more

Douro Steakhouse - Sangría is great! - Portuguese Near Me - Fall River, Massachusetts

Our first time dining there and it won't be our last. My wife and daughter had the Portuguese steak. The steak was tender and cooked to perfection. I had the filet mignon and it to was perfect. Our waitress was pleasant and attentive even though she was the only one and had seven tables. Very nice ambiance. Great menu. read more

They ran out of little necks they ran out of pineapple juice for the martini and they ran out of bud light Food was average green beans and broccoli tasted raw Service could have be better read more

Good pricing, good food. One complaint is that the thermostat was set at 59 degrees with temps of 31 outside. We had to keep our winter coats on the entire meal. Absolutely freezing. I would genuinely not go back this time of year because of this read more

During our time spent in Fall River we learned that there is a huge Portuguese population there. We knew there was one in P-Town out on The Cape in Mass, which makes sense being the first piece of land you would hit coming from Portugal, but this was a surprise. We immediately after hearing how readily available Portuguese food was wanted a taste of the country we fell for years ago, and have had such good times in. My husband LOVED the food he had there. We stumbled upon Douro, which is technically a steakhouse but you will find some Portuguese gems like cod cakes similar to the ones you would eat on the street in Lisboa and some Mozambique shrimp which had a TON of flavor!! We also ordered the curried chickpeas which were to die for. The dishes were packed with punch but not too spicy! They both came with generous helping of rice, perhaps even too much. The chickpeas were a starter and we had no idea that we would be receiving such a huge bowl! Definitely ask about portion size before ordering. The decor was so funky and cool, our waitress was kind and knew the Ins and outs of each dish, and although we are VERY against indoor dining during covid, we had the entire dining room to ourselves mid-day, mid-week. The seasonal pumpkin brews and cocktails in fall completed the meal perfectly. Give me all the cinnamon sugar rims on local pumpkin brews Lovey! We would not hesitate to return again when we're in town! *It's attached to a coffee shop & an oyster bar also! read more

Walked in to a very fancy place, nice ambience. The servers were nice and polite and the service still managed to be poor. Over ONE HOUR AND A HALF waiting for the food. Not to mention the drink orders that were taking forever. The restaurant was pretty empy. It was just mine and my fiancé's table and another one and only Two people at the bar. At least the food was ok. If you're hungry, I do not recommend, but it should be fine if you are willing to wait for forever to have ok food. read more

I made reservations for my wife and I to support local business in Fall River because I live there. I got there on time and I was told to wait. I waited 5 minutes and realized there was only one table of customers there and the hostess/bartender/waitress popped her head in to say she'd be there to greet us. We waited another 5 minutes before leaving. I decided to take an hour drive to Ruth Chris, where I know I can spend $300 with great quality service and a great meal. But hey, I'm not going to blame this on my ethnicity, I'm going to say it was horrible customer service. But best believe, in my line of work, people will know looks are deceiving...This place looks good. read more

Been here a few times now. It is a beautiful space. Every room is decorated beautifully. Food is mesmerizing but the service hasn't been great. Some waiters need an attitude check. But Tim was absolutely amazing! Professional and his bar tending skills are phenomenal. read more

We were looking forward a lovely dinner as the restaurant has such a nice upscale vibe and the menu looked great. To start, upon sitting at our table, I noticed the glasses both wine and water were dirty - visible lip marks. Not a great start! The meals came out at different times - a personal pet peeve. My husbands steak and side were under seasoned so he asked for salt. The owner said "Are you sure?" Then upon giving him the salt said "I won't tell the chef!" SERIOUSLY?!! To top it off, there was a $3 bread charge which the waiter just said that he would bring vs. asking us if we wanted bread. Wanted to love this place but it's a disappointment! read more

I was apprehensive based on some of the prior reviews But I was pleasantly surprised I had reservations at the capital grill in providence but didn't want to make the drive so I took a chance on Douro steak house It was fairly quiet on a Sunday evening, the service was good. And the food was exceptional We will definitely be back !!!! read more

This is called a steakhouse. Steak is horrible. Management is horrible. It's too bad.

For now 4 Stars. I've been here twice, First time was a five star visit, with my wife and I. Great food and amazing service!! Great recommendations by our server who was very helpful and attentive but not overly so which is good. Second Visit, The first time I was so impressed I really wanted to go back. This time i was with my wife, 86yo mom and my 9yo son. This time we decided to try brunch. Again the service was top notch and the food was amazing. They have some great unique items on the regular menu and the brunch menu. My lack of 5 stars isn't so much the restaurant as much as it was the table of 8 that came in at the tail end of our brunch. Mostly trashy women who love to talk very loud and constantly use the F bomb as well as other profanities. Mind you at this time the restaurant was empty minus our table and this other table of 8. It was embarrassing to take my mom and my son to a place that catered to this type of crowd. This is a new nicely decorated place that has the servers and food to match. I was really hoping the staff would have said something to these folks and explained to them this was not the place for this type of language or for being so excessively loud. Reminder again we were the only two table with people, it's not like they had to talk over anyone. I am headed back with some friends, table of 4. I can honestly say that if this is what this restaurant allows to happen, I will not be back. I would find it very unfortunate to not be want to go back to such a nice place with great food and service. I will update after my next visit. read more

Got the pork and littlenecks. Zero flavor. Pork was like chewing rubber. The only tasty part of the meal were the peppers. How hard is it to dust the food with a little salt and pepper? Additionally, we had a party of eight sit down next to us and leave after five minutes. Not sure what the issue is, but this place stinks. Is it a steakhouse? (Douro) Is it a tapas place (Townhouse) is it a cafe? (XO Cafe)? What the heck is going on? read more

I personally love this restaurant so much. For Fall River, I am wildly impressed by the menu and atmosphere. It's super quaint and cute and quiet. Shockingly I'm here on a Friday night and it's nearly empty. I am shocked. The drinks are amazing the food and service is outstanding I highly recommend this place for a nice date night or just something different. Think steakhouse meets Portuguese restaurant... come hungry and enjoy! read more

Went there on February 24th. The food was very good. No complaints there. However, for a restaurant to have up-scale aspirations the service has to be at least very good. It wasn't. It was a wait for everything. I made the reservation on line. This resulted in emails and texts over the week to confirm we were going. Yes Yes yes. We get there and the table wasn't ready. No big deal, but it was an indicator of what the night would be like. Our waiter was very apologetic and tried, but instead of a memorable night in a good way, it was memorable in a bad way. Note to the owner: hire more staff! We felt bad for the waiter up to a point, but with all the reservation reminders we got you had to have known what staffing needs would be. read more

I do want to give credit where credit is due. The food here has great flavor and the restaurant has a great variety to choose from. Unfortunately the service is the biggest issue. Was sat down in a corner with my party of 4 and waitress left us to be and forgotten about. Asked for service several times and yet never attended to. I hate to leave bad reviews being in the service industry myself. Hope this helps the owners through a customers point of view. read more

We stopped in for a snack and ended up with a cheese/charcuterie board, flan pudding, chocolate mousse, cappuccino and expresso martini served by a delightful young man, Victor! We will be back! read more

Douro Steakhouse - Flan pudding and Chocolate Mousse - Portuguese Near Me - Fall River, Massachusetts

Amazing food overall. Great atmosphere to go along with wonderful drinks... Only thing I don't recommend is their tomahawk steak... needs more seasoning... was blend and lacked flavor. Not worth the $100. read more

I am so happy that i found this restaurant! We were looking to find a steakhouse open on a Monday - and our only options were the standard chain restaurants - which we didn't want. Went to Yelp and found Townhouse and Douro Steakhouse. The whole experience was amazing, from the initial greeting, to our server Erin, to the ambiance (dimly lit - dark - cozy - beautiful Christmas Tree) - not to mention the food and wine - OUTSTANDING! Best octopus appetizer and ribeye steak that i have had in a very long time. We will definitely be back! read more

0 STARS! WORST dining/food/drink experiences of OUR lives! I had my family from Maine come down to show them the great Fall River food reputation and let me tell you's picking DOURO TOWNEHOUSE/STEAKHOUSE was THE WORST and MOST EXPENSIVE MISTAKE I've ever made! NICKS HOTDOGS on south Main Street would have been a WAY BETTER CHOICE....and they have no seating for 10 lol (if you know, you know). Let's start with the fact that they didn't have my reservation saved, then the guy tells us (party of 10 people) that they can be ready in 15 minutes, 45 minutes later I ask what's going on, and the manager assured me 6 minutes, he assured this is a real time, (he's not lying this time?) wrong 20 minutes later we're seated, another 15 before they offered water, and bread in this way.... Would you like bubbling water, bottled water, or Fall River water, with Fall River being highlighted, would you like bread with that? Yes we do, they came out with 2, that's right TWO bread baskets for a party of 10! They give couples a basket now I'm not asking for 5 but 2? Then they bring back the water, THEN ask for what we'd like for drinks, made our drink orders.... 15 minutes later drinks come out, then they take the food orders, no word of a lie, we didn't see them again for if we needed drinks bread anything for another 30 minutes, finally was starving of hunger and dying of thirst by now (exaggerating) I had to go ask if we could get another round of bread and drinks while we wait for our food that we ordered 30 minutes ago, 10 minutes we wait for some bread baskets and drinks, so 40 minutes after we gave our food order we received bread and drinks....another 30 minutes goes by, absolutely 0 SERVICE! NO asking if we needed anything, no apologies for the absolutely outrageous wait time NOTHING! FINALLY, we get the food, and let me tell you this was the most DISRESPECTFUL DISGUSTING GARBAGE IVE EVER ATE! I'd rather eat STREET FOOD from INDIA, I mean the fact that these guys CHARGE FOR BREAD tells you everything you need to know! The bill for 10 people with NO alcoholic beverages and the WORST SERVICE IN THE WORLD came out to over 650$ with a AUTOMATIC GRATUITY of 20% then they ask for MORE! With TIP SUGGESTIONS! SAVE YOURSELF from the WORST POSSIBLE DINING EXPERIENCE IN FALL RIVER! DOURO STEAKHOUSE is less then 0! read more

Please let me warn you THIS IS NOT A DECENT STEAKHOUSE. Go to Boston if you want a real steakhouse. All our steaks were overcooked and we got NOTHING in return. Not even a comp'd meal. Everything was in complete disarray. I don't know if they are short staffed or what but this was a comical evening. Overpriced and underwhelming. Grilled Ceasar was soggy and the shellfish smelled terrible. Just gross all around. read more

Went to the tapas side. Food presentation was terrible and food was subpar. Egg on the Mozambique fries was undercooked, runny whites...gross Calamari was less than average, grilled octopus came out swimming in some weird sauce, dripping off a flat plate, "stuffed" shrimp was dry and overcooked with barely any stuffing...basically 3 dry shrimp in a casserole dish with some crumbs sprinkled around The only good thing we had were a half dozen oysters. Should have been tipped off when we got there we were the only customers on a Sunday night Wait staff was friendly but when it was time to pay the bill we literally walked around the restaurant looking for anyone to help us. Thankfully we had cash so we left it and walked out. We won't be back. read more

On 02/14/2023 I made a reservation for 2 at 7:30PM. we arrived early and were told it would be "15 to 20 minutes," along with 8+ other couples who were also waiting with reservations while being told the same thing. We stood around the crowded hostess stand for an hour and were not SEATED until 8:35PM. We then sat at a table for another 20 minutes without so much as a greeting, never mind a glass of water. We, along with 4-5 other separate couples all walked out after the poorest possible service, no meals and no effort to accommodate us. Clearly overbooked and understaffed. I would not even consider returning to this poorly run restaurant. read more

This was our first time there. It was a nice atmosphere. Service was not great at all. We ordered two dozen oysters some were fresh other were frozen! It then took two hours to get our meals. Our reservations were at 7 didn't get our meals until 9. Surf and turf steak was cooked on the inside and completely burnt on the outside and was so small like a bifana. Also ordered salmon with vegetables and the vegetables were completely cold. By the time we got our food we weren't even hungry anymore. Drinks were forgotten. The only thing enjoyable was dessert. Not worth the money we spent. Guess everyone has a different experience ours just wasn't that great unfortunately. read more

The 2-star rating is more for the atmosphere than anything else. Just dropped $150 on a subpar Valentine's dinner. My date (aka hubby of 37 years) was the best part of the entire evening. The garlic shrimp appetizer was absent of any garlic and a huge dissapointment. My husband's shrimp Mozambique did not match up to any local Portuguese restaurant in the area. My filet that I ordered medium came out rare. Sent it back and got a medium rare steak. And for $45 you would think that the entree would include 2 sides. Instead, I got a serving of undercooked vegetables. Did I mention that we did not get any bread to accompany our garlic shrimp appetizer???? It was a huge disappointment. And on the way out, no one, including our server, Eddie, bothered to say good night to us...this included the maitre d. Needless to say, we won't be returning any time soon, if ever. read more

Excellent food and atmosphere. Very friendly staff. I will come again for sure. I would recommend this place.

Great food and there are no complaints there! The surf and turf was one of the most superb I have tasted in years. My only complaint is our server by the name of Melissa. She was kind but appeared to be drinking in between dining check ins. Her words were slow and slurred. My wife and I felt very uncomfortable. I have worked with wait staff of this nature under my own management but continual employment was not possible. I have been in the restaurant business for 30+ years and it's unfortunate that the managing staff at your fine restaurant would overlook this. I hope you do better in the future with monitoring employee representation. read more
