We had a lovely dining experience at Dominic's on the Hill. The service was attentive without being intrusive. The wine and food were of the highest quality. Our experience turned a quiet Tuesday night into a celebration.

We needed gluten-free food and were surprised to find that there were very limited options (just fish and risotto among the main entrees). Gluten-free pasta was available, but we were told that none of the sauces were gluten-free (other than butter/oil). No offer was made to talk to the chef about making any accommodations. Since we had limited options, we did not order appetizers. We waited a while for a server to take our order, and we only received our food one hour after we were seated. The food itself was delicious.

The seafood risotto was excellent and exceeded my expectations, and the ambiance was elegant. Pricey, but worth it. I would dine here again.

We were unfortunately disappointed with the quality of the food. The service was pretty good. I ordered the veal saltimbocca which was very disappointing and reminded me of turkey cutlets in gravy from a banquet meal in taste and presentation. I got a Caesar salad, which was decent, my partner had the house salad, which was supposed to feature artichokes. He found only one on the salad. There was no offer for grated Parmesan on any of the salads. The bread looks like it came from a grocery store. Definitely did not taste fresh baked or appear to be baked in house. The third person in our party ordered the salmon which was supposed to have a cream sauce. It had dill on it but no cream sauce, but otherwise she said the salmon was decent. A side of risotto was $14 additional. The veggie side that came with my veal was very very small. The food was way underwhelming and for a $200 dinner. We were extremely disappointed. The cost of our meal included only one alcoholic beverage.

Went here last night for my boyfriend's birthday. This was our first visit to Dominics and it did not disappoint. It was very quiet as would expect for a weeknight but the ambiance and staff we great. This place offered great hospitality and I'd recommend them to anyone looking for great Italian food and even better service. We will definitely be going back!
