    The service was excellent. Food was fresh and well prepared-we had the grouper and halibut and string bean salad. Our only negative was that there was way too much sauce and dressing and the sauces were white cream-based sauces that we were not crazy about. Otherwise great. Will try again.

    This is exactly what going out to dinner should be - great food, service and atmosphere. Besides the menu, they always have special entrees - fresh fish like tuna, grouper, cod, etc. that are delicious and artistically presented on the plate. The service is top notch, the white table cloth tables are a good size and nicely spaced. We always have a relaxing great meal there - definitely 5-star. BYOB is a plus.

    Wonderful dinner with dear friends. Warmly greeted, seated right away, not only an extensive menu but a lot of Specials. Our friends enjoyed the Minestrone Soup and husband and I shared the Caesar Salad. My flounder in lemon caper sauce served over linguini was delicious. Husband enjoyed his salmon. Our friend’s Veal Parmesan was tender and cooked perfectly with enough to take half home, also garlic shrimp over toast appetizer. Finished with bread pudding for the table. This is our favorite restaurant.

    Everything was delicious! We both had the grouper special over home made ravioli and it was one of the best fish dishes ever! The owner Benny could not have been nicer! We had not been there since Benny bought the place a few years ago, but we definitely will be back! One of the best restaurants in the area!

    Wonderful Dinner as always. We shared eggplant rollatini to start. Had the Salmon in scampi sauce served with spinach and mashed potato’s - perfectly cooked, very good sized portion ( took half home for tonight). We splurged with dessert and shared lemon cello cake- delicious! This is one of our favorite restaurants! We were warmly greeted , the room has a very welcoming ambiance, BYOB. We highly recommend !

    We always seem to have a delicious dining experience at Dolce Bene. Their daily specials of fish are fresh and excellent and we both enjoyed our selections. A relaxing atmosphere and friendly service make it enjoyable. BYOB is a plus. Definitely recommend - it has become our favorite restaurant.
