   Beautiful space that was surprisingly easy to get into last minute on a Saturday evening. If you love Dolly Olive, but have trouble securing a reservation, go to Bar Dolly. Cocktails were excellent and, as expected, so was the food.

   Food was amazing, vibe was great, intimate, relaxing, not too noisy. Service was perfect, really attentive and friendly people and took care of everything we needed.

   Great variety of menu options and food is served family style which allows the diners to try a variety of items. Already planning another visit to get through more of the menu - also want to come back for aperitivo hour and brunch! Complex and creative food that is not intimidating to the eater.

   Phenomenal food, great staff. Having to order everything at once gave me no opportunity to graze the menu. Would have ordered more food given time.

   We sat at the bar and were entertained by the lady behind the bar expertly concocting delicious drinks Our drinks were really good even the nonalcoholic one. The food was very tasty and quite creative. We had excellent service. It was not cheap but I would definitely go again

   Bar Dolly is delightful. It is a small space but the staff and food were amazing. Because it is a small space our table was in a weird area right by the door, but it was uncomfortable. Best eggplant Parm, melts in your mouth.

    Surprised by poor service on our third time visiting... it took 15-20 minutes to get in a drink order in and then had to asked two different servers for a second cocktail almost 45 minutes later. Never quite sure who our server was since we saw her so rarely. Kinda weird for "a bar". The food was good and the kitchen was timely but the bar left us "dry as dirt."
