    The food and staff were fabulous. For a small restaurant we did not feel cramped at all. I already made my next reservation!

    They care The staff was so attentive, including management on site. You can tell they’re all working together to make it a success. The service was great, the attention from all was great. The new restaurant was clean, it was organized, it was just very well done. The food was average; and that might be generous. They need to figure this out, they have everything going for it, but the food is just not going to make people return. Lollipop lamb was small, mildly tasty. The mussels were fishy, sent back. They told me it was their second supplier. Maybe mussels this summer will not be good anywhere. The truffle barely tasted like truffle. They need to figure out the food to make it amazing!

    Welcome to the neighborhood Doma! The owners are so welcoming, the service was great and the food was excellent!!! So excited to have this BYOB in Ventnor. We better make reservations because this will be a tough spot to get into. Can't wait to try it for breakfast and lunch!

    We were excited to eat at Doma for the first time. We made a reservation days in advance. Got there on time - saw many open tables for two, and we were seated in the back, right across from the restroom (maybe 2 - 3 feet away, in a small corner) - and i/f/o a stepped up table in a closed- in area for 6 diners. While we could have asked for another table, this was our first time and we weren't in the mood to make a fuss. The restaurant's staff of 4 or 5 servers gathered literally inches from our table - next to the restroom - and chattered, mostly about who had canceled, and who had ordered what, etc. I glanced at them a few times - hoping they would step outside (it was nice out) and realize they were a distraction. They saw me do this, but were undeterred. Our server was lovely. The food - was just okay. Octopus was a bit undercooked. Tuna tartare should have been mostly tuna - it wasn't. Tuna main course was not high quality. Courses came out - one after the other, without much time in between. A party of 6 was seated at the table one step up from ours during our meal, and although they were perfectly nice - and chatted with us (it was hard not to) - it was too loud. When it was time to leave, we noticed that there were still a number of tables for two - that remained empty. I know it's standard for restaurants to get rid of tables that are less than ideal (like right next to a bathroom), but at the prices this restaurants charges ($30 - $40 plus entrees), we left feeling resentful. We will not be back.

    As a recent open, they were very prepared. Service was attentive —our meals were delicious. We shared the bacon wrapped dates with another couple. The branzino came out hot and the preparation was very tasty. Looking forward to going back.

    My family had a lovely dinner at Doma Cafe last night! Very cute and cozy restaurant! The food was delicious, the service was excellent and friendly. The bacon-wrapped dates, the octopus, and the Doma Salad are a must-try! My son had the Ribeye steak that was juicy and well-flavored. We finished the night with Dulce de Leche cake! Looking forward to going back!

    The reason for the bad review is that it is ACTUALLY CLOSED! Open table you should know that it is closed and can't make a reservation.
    Doma CafeResponded on April 11, 2025
    Hi Melissa, Thank you for taking the time to look us up, as We made sure Open Table is aware of this misinformation. It is unfortunate that we cannot host you until later in this month, but please come visit. We assure you it'll be worth the wait and look forward to meeting you in person.
