    We had a group of 6 and the experience was wonderful. Our servers, Wendy and Emma, were excellent! They were attentive and joked around with us throughout the night. We had a nice private room in the back, so our group was able to enjoy the evening with some privacy. The food was delicious and the drinks were great! Overall, one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in many years!

    We’ve been here about 5 times. Drinks and service has always been excellent. But the food has been very average. They did a menu change since the last time we went, and everything we got was amazing! The food is now back on par with their service and drinks. Excited to go back again!

    Absolutely lovely dining experience at Dominics. The restaurant is so warm and cozy. I enjoyed the delicious halibut special as well as the amazing homemade tiramisu. The service was excellent and the prices most reasonable. I look forward to returning.
