    Great food, great atmosphere, great company. Wish this restaurant wasn’t closing in a week. It’s been a “go to” restaurant for many.

    Brussel sprouts need improvement - underdone and need more seasoning.

    Perfect “girls out happy hour” locale! So much fun, great small bites, super wait staff and easy environment. I love Dolce’s “easy elegance” atmosphere and unpretentious bites of goodness. Don’t go!
