Dolce group claims of providing great service but as you can see from many reviews it's clear the staff and management don't know how! ”

Horrible service (minus our waiter) ”

Even the service is great. ”

However, we did receive great service from an entertaining waiter and we got to sit in the private room in back. ”
- “
Bad food, good service ”
- “
First off, were not paying for rude service. ”
- “
It reminds me of New York in the way that the staff and the clientele seem to be on their best behavior because no one is bored like Dolce and its reputation are bigger than any ego there. ”
- “
Not only does it have a terrific atmosphere, but the staff are so "un-hollywood", no attitude, just great service. ”
- “
We werent ready for the whirlwind of some great wine, amazing food, and the most friendly accomodating service ive had in LA, in the coolest atmosphere with the hottest chicks i have seen en masse anywhere. ”
- “
what was most amazing was their wonderful manager beej (hmm, is that italian?) ”

loved the scene and unlike the person below me, I love the uniforms; in fact, I purchased one of the cute Dolce tank tops that the servers wear. ”

The manager at the time of my so called dining experience, Marco basically argued with me that the food was great (he had the sea bass earlier) and hinted that myself and my friend who was sharing the Sea Bass were the problem. ”

It is a great place for people ”

and they lost their best waiter recently, hopefully someone will come and fill his shoes. ”

Our server was awesome, and made our night. ”

The decor and ambience is very chic, the food was absolutely delicious and the service was great. ”

I'm well aware that Chilean sea bass is pricey, but I love it so it's generally worth it. ”

The food was tasty, but a bit overpriced. ”
- “
Drinks are good, but slightly overpriced. ”
- “
thought the food was WAY overpriced. ”
- “
Surprisingly friendly and knowledgeable attitude -not the usual LA attitude I was expecting - and the food was awesome - good options for inexpensive and more expensive items and excellent specials - worth the extra money. ”
- “
The food itself isn't bad but not great - expect small portions, and do not order the fried basket (calamari, zucchini, etc), which came soggy. ”
- “
Bad service on top of average food, no matter how great the "ambiance", is NOT worth paying for. ”
- “
The server was not very attentive to us for such a pricey place. ”
- “
Not only was the food wonderful, the service was excellent and the dishes are very affordable. ”

His name was Ian and he was quite helpful to my girlfriend and I. All in all, from the hosts at the front door until we left it was an excellent experience and worth the money. ”

will spend my money on the amazing establishments such as A.O.C., Blair's (Silverlake), or Cut. ”

recommend the Saffron Risotto & Veal (Great tastes and great price). ”

Overall if I had to pay full price for the evening I wouldn't be going back. ”

Behind all the bottles there is a huge row of flames that lights up the dim lit restaurant. ”
- “
didn't expect much more than atmosphere the first time I went to Dolce, but know I know, that beyond being the place to see celebs in town, it is also the place to get to-die-for Italian, for a good price and great service. ”
- “
Food was overpriced and the restaurant was just too dark. ”
- “
Have a drink from the bar, watch some interesting people eating dinner and if you have to eat, go on a Monday -- they only charge half price for the food menu. ”
