    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!

    Nice ambiance, excellent server, but overall I would say the food was average and overpriced.

    The food was always good here. I had the fettuccine with shrimp. It was excellent. My husband had the beet salad. He said it could’ve had a few more beats on it but liked it. Had the soup like the soup and had the meatballs very enjoyable evening.

    Generally we all love Dolce but our experience last night left us unsettled. Only 1 of the 3 of us got exactly what we ordered.
