    This was my first time at La Dolce Vita. Valentines Day is also my birthday. My biggest disappointment was feeling rushed through the courses. I was half way through my salad when our entrees came. I wanted to take my time since it was a special occasion. I also didn’t realize the menu was going to be limited on Valentines Day. Other than that the food was great, ambiance was excellent. I’ll definitely be back, it just felt like our server was ready to leave for the night.

    Limited menu on Valentine’s Day and the chefs weren’t very accommodating. It felt like they were rushing to turn tables over. Will not be back on a holiday.

    I hadn’t been here in a while because last time the service was so slow and we never saw our waitress. This time we had a fabulous, attentive waiter and the food was wonderful.

    The food was overly expensive for what was served. They charged $75 for a piece of sea bass with risotto served in a bowl with a raised rim which speaks to the small portion. I was flabbergasted! Also, the restaurant wasn’t full but the service was mediocre at best on top of automatically charging 20% for gratuity. I will never return there dinner again.
