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 absolutely loved everything about my experience here! We arrived about 10 minutes before our reservation and waited around 15-20 minutes to be seated, but we passed the time with a wine tasting—which was a great touch. We didn’t get to finish it, but Cindy was AMAZING! She was so full of life and such a joy to interact with. Once we were seated, another employee placed our plates down, and within five minutes, our waitress arrived. She was incredibly kind and attentive. We ordered right away, and though our food took about 30-40 minutes to arrive, the wait was absolutely worth it. WE LOVED OUR MEAL! For the two of us, we spent about $113, and it was well worth it. Highly recommend!

    Server, Brie, was very attentive. Only complaint was we were seated at a small round table for 2. It was very cramped and it was difficult for the server to get thru the aisle.

    First time dining at Dolce Restaurant & Wine Bar. Experience was very pleasant and positive on a snowy Valentines evening. Service was very good. Daisy, our server was very attentive and made some very good recommendations. The food was great. Very well prepared and presented. No surprises. My wife and I really enjoyed the live piano music which set a wonderful background for a romantic Valentines dinner. Overall the noise level was very moderate and easy to have a conversation. The prices were inline with the quality of food and service. Definitely will visit Dolce again for the next special occasion.
