Patio is based upon availability. Simple, Rustic, yet Refined, anything but typical. Walk into Dolce and you're welcomed by the aromas from the open kitchen. You might notice the music, its contemporary, it's rock & roll, R&B, or soul. You'll definitely notice the wines, displayed on the wall like works of art. There are no white table cloths, no dabbing the corners of your mouth, no pomp, but lots of circumstance. And perhaps the only reason you noticed the aforementioned is because you haven't tasted our food. That's when the music fades into the background. Our house chefs are proud to be 'dismantling' the dining experience, replacing it with a sophisticated yet relaxed evening that doesn't break the bank. It's the best of both worlds, yet the food is our finest accomplishment to date. Inspired by whats great with a deep appreciation for each ingredient; grown local sustainable farms, or produced and harvested by like-minded individuals. Dolce is rarely the same place twice.

I am a fan of Paul Virant So I was dying to try his new restaurant. I brought my stepdaughter out of town also is a fan of Vie. We love the escargot, and the pike appetizers. Our entrées were also superb! We even tried a tart for dessert. Our service was wonderful, ambience was great and we were so pleased to be there.

Had a delicious lunch with my former work colleagues. Two of us had a steak salad - steak was cooked perfectly and it was delicious. Our other colleague has soup and a flat bread. Really nice combination. Extensive by the glass wine list. Service was very good.
