    Always excellent food and service at Dolce. And tonight's meal, I believe, was the best. My husband had the mahi special and I had the ravioli special. Both were fantastic. And it's always fun with Fernando and Joanna. Highly recommend!

    First time at this restaurant. Great space with lots of windows. Unfortunately, no one stopped at our table to welcome us and take our drink order. I had to get up and ask the hostess to step in & get things moving. From there things seemed to right themselves. The food was great. Salad was tasty. Salmon & Red Snapper dishes were delicious. Waitress was pleasant & responsive once she got engaged. Despite our initual service hiccup, I would still recommend this restaurant. Good food at a good value, with a pleasant ambience.

    The only complaint is that the server did not tell us of the nightly specials. We overheard another server telling the guests at the next table - but we had already ordered.

    Food and service was excellent! The restaurant is small but was not loud and we had a good conversation at our table easily. We will definitely be back.

    This was my first time eating here and oh my goodness! It was delicious and you can tell the food is made in house and not frozen. I am definitely going to return!

    Our server, JC, did a fantastic job with us that night. She was attentive, gracious and humorous. When we make it back we will certainly seek to sit in her section.
