I say this within the frame of San Jose restaurants...you're not going to find better service or food quality. One of my two favorite restaurants in San Jose, hands down. Dry aged steaks(in house), excellent wine selection, two (!) sommeliers on staff and management who takes care of customers. The staff is on point and the food is delicious.

I had the entrecote, ordered it medium-well... came pretty much well done. I guess should off ordered medium. The steak was very tender (saying a lot for local cuts), somewhat less tastier than i expected for a $34 steak. My wife had de "lomito", she felt satisfied. Service was very good. The place was nice... nicer than Esq. Bs Aires,... More

Had a nice lunch. Ordered the lamb kebabs, tough and very greasy, but my husband enjoyed his burger. Nice atmosphere inside but we didn't want the air conditioning and preferred to enjoy the nice Santa Ana breeze. At these prices we thought they could afford a gardener. I could suggest them for a desperate makeover, landscaping, etc. They have a... More

Never expected to find such a great US-style steakhouse in Santa Ana. The highlights were the bread assortment to start, along with excellent salads and sides. The beef was also very good, but was grass fed so not quite the same flavor profile as corn fed beef. There is an extensive wine list and a very good selection of desserts.... More

Just got out of there. The place is very nice, bread was good. My wife ordered pasta and it was really bad, probably not the best place to order pasta. Anyway I ordered a New York Steak, and I am very disappointed, had a very good recommendation of this place. Meat was very hard, flavor-less, and for the price, it... More

We went to Doris Metropolitan for lunch on the last day of our 3-week vacation and had an excellent experience - the open dining room is beautiful, the food is delicious and the service was wonderful. Delicious bread is a great way to start a meal. I had the burger and it was fantastic. Will definitely go back when in... More

Very good!! Definitely worth the price. The service was great! We had a table of 3 people. Two ordered steaks and one ordered fish. The steaks were great, cooked to perfection. The fish, salmon, was amazing! It was also served with one scallop, mushrooms and mashed potatoes. Also ordered a mojito, one of the best we have ever had.

I am going to start by saying that the restaurant has good food. I have been here twice and unfortunately on my last visit, my experience was not positive. The food is well made and the atmosphere is pleasant but the service is not as good. Based on the prices you not only expect a good meal but a great... More

We were staying at the Ringle Resort and the owner Ed Ringle mentioned Doris Metropolitan. We are not big meat eaters and don't eat red meat, but we were looking for a nice meal in a pleasant atmosphere. WOW!! This place is on the scale of one of the finest NYC restaurants, in fact we can't wait to get back... More
