Went to dolce for the first time to see a grea8gawd show. Definitely a whole vibe up in there. Love the setup.Didn’t eat the food, but I saw a lot of people eating food that looked good. They all appeared to be satisfied.I had to wait a while at the bar while the bartenders walked past multiple times and didn’t say anything. Some were working, others were on the phones not paying attention smoking vapes. Kinda annoying but whatever.Got a Long Island, it tasted good but was kinda weak. It was only 12, but I would have payed more to get a stronger drink.Overall, seems like a great place and would love to come back soon to see what their menu has to offer.

The space in the back is beautiful. However, you can tell almost instantly that it caters mainly to a younger crowd. From being served drinks in plastics cups to plastic forks and knives. When I asked for real silverware, the server came back with another plastic fork 👀.The music was obnoxiously loud as if it was more so a nightclub then a lounge/restaurant. I couldnt process my own thoughts thats how loud it was.They didnt gave a drink menu and every drink I asked for they didnt have the items to make,such as a Mai Tai. 🤦🏽‍♀️The upside is that the food tasted really good. The appetizer of caprese, the tomatoes were sliced way too thick and the basil wasnt finely chopped so the presentation was bad.The stuffed shrimp pasta was delicious but the pasta looked like a plate of vomit. Excess sauce and no attention placed on plating.The NY strip was supposed to be medium, it came out well done. It was seasoned well but tough to chew.Overall cost wasnt bad. If management focuses on the kitchen, picking better music and real silverware, the place could be a gem.

After waiting 5 minutes for the bartender to finish talking to her friends, I get handed a menu with no greeting. Then back to the conversation with her friends. After another 5 minutes I just gave up and left. So I dont know what the food tastes like.

I wasn’t going to leave a review at all because of how much I love dolces and along with the amount of time I’ve been coming here over the years but after this past weekend I had to. My experience this past weekend with service was bad. My food came out cold, drinks were weak and my server came back to check on me 1 time smh. When asked for extra napkins and condiments the server brought them back with an attitude. I never complain about auto gratuity but that night I should have. Maybe we came at a bad night idk. Good thing the hookah and the music was good

Went for happy hour just had a few finger food items…Yaz was excellent great customer service…drinks were good (thanks to Yaz :) The Philly cheesesteak empanadas was really good which she also recommended is a must try. Overall Dolce is still a hit.

Got the crab stuffed shrimp and pasta dish and it was fabulous! Pricing varied from menu to computer ring up with extra cash add on. So the menu said $24.95, it rang up $25.95 with their own placed gratuity and computer tax it cost $32.51. Also ordered the Dolce burger which the burger was not the same size as the bun, it was smaller with about 15 fries on the plate. Definitely loved the atmosphere.

I have been to this place many times in the past but this is my first review. I would love to give this spot more stars because I know one of the managers but I cant. So I walked in and told the girl that I had reservations and she told another female server to walk me back. There was a little confusion as to who was taking me back at first. The lady proceeded to walk me back to my seat and was training someone or something so she stopped to dump ice and walked to the side behind the bar which was confusing to me. I had to ask her while I was waiting was she taking me back or not. She said yes then finally walked me back. The seats outdoors was in an alleyway looking area and the rest was on the side of the building. They did their best for what they could. The service with the one female was fairly slow and she told me at the end she was covering for someone which still was no excuse. The lady that was supposed to be our waitress came towards the end and was super nice but she came as we were about to leave. I ordered a pinot nior and bolognese pasta to go. My friend had garlic shrimp and a drink as well. The food and drinks here are really good I must say. Just the service was mediocre.

Held a party there got a VIP and they had the nerve to charge my party $40 a person. Unorganized. My bottle girl never came back to refill our juice or ice. Never brought out the cake until the crowd left. If it wasn’t for my family and friends $650 would’ve been down the drain.

When I arrived, the price was $30 to enter the establishment for a birthday party. The workers at the door couldn’t decide if the admission should be 20 or 30… so they hiked the price up at the door… the way the workers were acting when receiving the money, and the side eye contact conversations, made it feel like they adjusted the price at that moment… I would’ve turned away, but I was there for a friends birthday party…sometimes supporting black owned businesses can be upsetting because they over charge for everything and the service sucks…The shots were 15 dollars and 30 drinks? The waitress that was suppose to be working our table, had a party of her own going on, so we had to run her down when we needed juice or ice or something for our table….That’s insane in Elizabeth nj to me!!!!….…..I’m not supporting any business that takes more than they offer!! I won’t be back!! $30 for a hood bar, $15 shots? And the presence of danger because it’s in the hood…Nahhh I’ll turn on some music at home and enjoy my own company!!! Parking is a mess also….maybe I’m just done partying but this was not worth coming out for, except to enjoy my friends evening with her…it wasn’t about me, and she had a good time, they’ll be leaving a review as well

Party was wonderful!Food was terrible! Catfish cooked on outside, not cooked well inside. Fish was mushy & they put some type of NASTY SPICY SAUCE (that i did not ask for) on my fish. I ask for tartar sauce! Then the tartar sauce they brought me was the worst Ive ever had!! At that point i had them take it ALL back (Fish & Cold sweet potato fries). I just ordered something else. Very disappointed!!

Went to Dolce this past weekend for an event and the dj was great, staff was nice and the drinks were on point. My bartender Donya’ was AMAZING!!! She was very welcoming and took her time waiting on my friends and I. I made sure to tip very well because you don’t always get service like that when you go to certain places. Her positive energy was greatly appreciated and I’d definitely go back.

Venue facilities and atmosphere is very warm, comfortable, and clean. Unfortunately, it took a long time for the bartenders to attend to us; so they should consider to hire at least two more for bigger capacity events. The music was on point as well as their food was delicious 😋

Review №33

SERVICE IS HORRIBLE !!!!! If I had a pen I would write on the receipt HORRIBLE SERVICE! The amount of times I been to this place and the service STILL remains the same HORRIBLE. I decided to give them a try again w/ my boyfriend tonight & something has to be said at this point. I hate when I go out to spend my money and gratuity is automatically applied ! The waiter was terrible nobody check up on the table . Literally had to call to others so they can call the person that was helping my table. When I walked in it was empty . The body guard was standing there after finish checking our ID. He didn’t know if we were to be seated or can walk straight to the back to sit anywhere. The CUSTOMER SERVICE IS HORRIBLE. MANAGEMENT NEEDS TO TRAIN THEIR STAFF . THE GIRLS ARE JUST STANDING AROUND ON THEY PHONES BEHIND THE BAR, ON THE FLOOR . My server came to the table ONE TIME & that was when I had to ask someone to call whomever was serving us. They forgot about the desert which is part of the brunch. After I reminded the girl about the desert. She come back to me to say they didn’t have anymore chocolate cake . This place is a BIG JOKE. Work on your staff delivering QUALITY CUSTOMER SERVICE BEFORE YOU GO ADDING ON GRATUITY TO EVERY BILL!!!! Save your time people. WONT BE COMING BACK HERE EVER AGAIN .

Took my sister her for her birthday and we had reservations and was a few mins late but they was very accommodating and the staff were soo nice. the food was soo good. The drinks omg amazing. The bartender was moving but she ain’t miss a beat with us. I would highly recommend if you looking to do like a private party or something the cost wasn’t expensive at all and they played all the jams. I had a great experience. Will definitely come back again. Shout out the DJ too. They was getting it I could hardly sit down he was playing everything !!

My husband and I just tried to have dinner here, and I was very inappropriately felt up by security. Full cup of my breats without warning. Just went right in and grabbed me. This is not normal behavior. Ive been through plenty of security in my life and this was insane. After I complained they told me its normal so we left. Ladies! Avoid at all cost. To normalize this behavior is beyond words. She used a wand on my husband so I dont understand why that couldnt be used on me.

Okay so I’ve never been here for the night life but I’ve been here for the food. My favorite appetizer is the voodoo calamari, which is sweet with a little kick of pepper. Coconut shrimp is also great and the jerk wings. I can never complain about their drinks. They’re always nice and strong lol.

Wish I could give this establishment 0 stars went here for brunch after waiting 2 and a half hours for my food they bring out the main course first and then the appetizer I’m allergic to mushrooms and told them I don’t want them and they still put them in my platter said I had the wrong order brought me another and had mushrooms still I asked to speak to the manager and was directed to a bartender who said she was the manager followed by another who said she was followed by another one with that being said this establishment is a joke and highly suggest everyone stays at Away from it at least for brunch

I love grabbing lunch or an early dinner here (before the crowd comes) Best dirty martini in town!! The bartenders are always friendly and personable. During the early afternoon there is a happy hour. House drinks are about $4-$5 tap beers are about $3 & there are food specials. During the day the music is relaxing and you get an overall chill vibe. There is street parking in the front and parking in the back but beware its super tight in the back so be careful.

I came with a party of 5 on 03/19/22.This place was not a good experience for my friends and I. We asked for a refill of water and that took over 1 hr. Food took over an hour to get to the table. I ordered jerk quesadilla and southern empanada and they ran out of the empanadas so I had to order my second idea The Fried Calamari. It was average. Nothing special about this place other then the music. I wish they were more accommodating and that fist fights between the staff would not occur.

Review №48

Good thing I came during happy hour. I had the southern fried chicken. Its usually $17 for 3 wings, some Mac and cheese, and collard greens. The chicken was horrible, and the mac and cheese was horrible. Definitely not southern style. The collard greens were great. However, the platter was worth every bit of the $8.50 plus tax I paid for it. At the regular price, I would have been mad. The service was good too.

I like the food at Dolce. I would give 5 stars if they did not judge me when I come to the restaurant/lounge. Four times, I have gone to Dolce to get something to eat. I had no problem on my first visit. On the second visit, I had to go to the bar to get service. On the third and fourth visit, I was asked why I was there. The waitress gave good service though. On the fourth visit, the waiter/waitress gave me the impression that they thought I would not pay my bill or tip. I paid and tipped. However, they have to work to not prejudge.

So MYSELF and seven other ladies travel to this restaurant on Saturday from Albany New York, Poughkeepsie New York, Washington DC, and Virginia and the service was absolutely terrible. Although we had a reservation we did not realize that 11 minutes before 8:00 when I told the waitress we were going to order I was informed it was to late. We were told that we had to leave because they needed to turn the table over for another group and I said we are not done eating and they said that was not their issue they had to accommodate other guests and I said but were already here and they said that they did not care and I promised to place them on Yelp I will never ever grace that establishment again it is awful it smelled the workers were doing hookah and taking shots during work hours very unprofessional. Also when we arrived we notified them that we had 2 more people in our party they were very rude and given a kiddy table. When we asked could we get a matching table they returned with a dirty table and I had to then ask them to wash it. I also spent $90 for 3 hookahs that I was made to turn in less than 30 minutes later as we were put out. DISGUSTING!!!!!! Terrible service and leadership I wish I could give you a negative 0 as a rating. Do better people. Never have I EVER been treated with such disregard.

I liked it when it was the Red Parrot 🦜. The food was better, but for a lounge theres better places in town. Its an ok place to grab a drink with friends or to just kick back and drink. Although, if your looking for a place to go grab drinks, dance or just chill at the bar, theres definitely better lounge/clubs scenes in Elizabeth.

Its good as a night club. Food is blah. Went on the 50% off Monday deals. Ordered, well, tried to order the seafood bowl, but they ran out or had no shellfish at all! Waited all while for another order and yet it came out warm, almost cold. Bartender/ waitress was rude When I asked whats taking the food so long, she replied I dont cook. I bartend. Wow, yet you are taking orders.6.17- havent eaten at this place since that last review. Had to go cuz of my girls birthday. The bartenders were fun and attentive to us as a group. Like I mentioned previously the place is cool as a club night go to and bar drinking. Food is not its fortay. Had shrimp and grits. All cheese on bland grits. Menu said side of mango salsa which they forgot to add and when it came, it was all beans. I sent it back and ordered the shrimp tacos. The Spicy Mayo was the only flavorful part.6.18- I dky my girlfriend insists on coming here. Now thry got bartenders misleading customers on their prices. They got the menu with one price and the bartenders charging something else🤦🏽‍♀️

If I could leave 0 stars I would. I’ve never experienced such a lack of restaurant etiquette before. Came here with a few friends, most of us paid with card (mind you there’s a $30 minimum which I’ve never heard of for a restaurant) and one of us paid cash. Before my friend could receive her food and take a bite the waitress rudely walked over and asked her to pay her bill (with hurrying hand gestures included). Much to our disbelief we were all in shock as 1. We’ve never been to an establishment that asked for payment before actually eating and 2. She stood there and waited for her to give the cash which made all of us very uncomfortable. We asked to speak to the manager and he condoned her behavior instead of rectifying the situation with a simple apology and explanation of their procedures. Safe to say I won’t be coming back to this place ever again. The fact that I’m leaving this review in the first place says a lot considering I never leave bad reviews.

If I could give it less than one star I would, this establishment is that bad ! The service was beyond subpar to say the least. I’ve never been to a place that before you even take a bite of your food the waiter is standing over you begging for you to pay for your food, on top of that everyone that I was with (total of 6 people ) ordered at the same time and everyone’s dish comes out 10-15 min apart from each other, including one of them being incorrect (they brought a vegetarian Mac and cheese with meat in it after assuring her there would be no meat). Needless to say none of us will be returning to this place especially after speaking to the manager who not only dismissed our concerns but continued to make excuses for his rude staff member. Save yourself the hassle and go ANYWHERE else.

My boyfriend took me here as a surprise and it pleasantly was! We both love to try new places and have been searching for a mature spot to relax and enjoy it over a good meal.The place has dimmed lighting, cozy seating, great music and beautiful décor to create an ambient setting. You couldnt deny the positive atmosphere because we were surrounded by returning patrons of all ages who equally loved the atmosphere.The food is FANTASTIC ! What stood out to me is the Italian choices, I had the shrimp penne vodka it came in a large portion which is great ! Also tried the passion fruit sangria really enjoyed it !Will plan to return here quite often :)

This is a restaurant pretending to be a club. Space is small food takes too long music isnt good and there is not much parking available. Staff doesnt even answer the phone when they have little guests.

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE. IF RIP OFF HAD A LOCATION THIS WOULD BE IT. PAID 20 PP to get in. NOT ONLY DID I FEEL LIKE I WAS AT A BASEMENT PARTY BUT AFTER PAYING FOR DRINKS AND A HOOKAH AN ANNOUNCEMENT WAS MADE PARTY WAS OVER. NOONE INFORMED OUR GROUP THE FIRST SESSION WOULD BE OVER 20 MINUTES AFTER SPENDING THIS MONEY. WE BARELY GOT THROUGH OUR DRINKS AND REMOTELY CLOSE TO ENJOYING A FRESH HOOKAH BEFORE WE HAD TO PACK UP AND GO. AFTER EXPRESSING THE SITUATION NOONE ATTEMPTED TO ACCOMODATE OR REFUND. WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY.
