    Party of 6 for Christmas Eve. Dinner was fantastic. It was busy but the service was great. Great ambience and lighting. Curated cocktails. Noise was well controlled. Food was the star of the show. We were there at night so I can't wait to go back for lunch to see the views of the ocean from the dining room.

    Went on quiet night. Outstanding service. We had seafood, pasta , crab cakes. All great. It was fairly quiet as it was only about 30% full so can’t speak to the other comments on noise level. Would go back for sure.

    We had a great time and a terrific meal at La Dolce Vita. The restaurant has wonderful location directly across from the beach and it was pleasantly decorated for Christmas. The only thing I could say wasn’t great was the calamari. It was a bit rubbery but that’s what seems to happen with that dish. It’s hit or miss. Otherwise great food , service and a wonderful experience
