"Doris Metropolitan in Montrose is a steakhouse with a Mediterranean bent from the folks behind Hamsa. Dinner here might feel a little like eating steak with your coworkers—everyone is almost also filing in from an office somewhere—but the food is certainly more refined than your average work party. Especially given the steaks are aged in-house. We suggest sitting at the bar where you can gaze at the chandelier inside the aging room, watch folks meet up and awkwardly shake hands, and (most importantly) get swift, laid-back service. Start with a fresh tomato salad before digging into a tender wagyu classified cut—essentially just Doris Metropolitan’s proprietary nine-ounce slice of beef—served over a savory root puree." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
