Brought our family for Thanksgiving brunch and it was a great experience. The chef was out detailing how he prepared the amazing food at the buffet. He did some very special preparations that I’d never seen before. The staff was so kind and helpful too. Thank you for a great holiday Dolce Riviera, we will definitely come again!

The food is always top notch here and wait staff attentive. My wife and I really love this place. The food is a little pricy but delicious. One think I must mention is the fact they have changed the glasses they use for espresso martinis. The waitress told us that the manager swears hat they are they hold the same volume as the previous glass. I don't believe it and I am most likely not alone in this perception. Even if the manager is right it gives people the impression of "shrinkflation". They need to go back to the old glasses.
