    I came for the salmon- unfortunately they were out. The location was moderately full -we had six in our party with reservations, however the food came out slow, and Luke warm. We were expecting delicious and the food was just "ok" and the mimosas were watered down - no bubbles!. So we asked for more champagne, and we ended up paying$27 for a bottle ( no problem) but still paid for the watered down juice. Bagels were good. Breakfast potatoes were bland.

    I loved the service but the price for the quality of food was disappointing. The food was bland and I could have made a better breakfast at home and I was overcharged for the lack of care put into the cooking

    Food was fairly good (although we expected the crepes to be warm and they were actually cold). The mimosas we had did not taste like they contained any alcohol at all and when two members of our party ordered Pepsi, they came in the bottles without any glassware or straws. The mimosa glasses and the silverware looked like they had seem better days. One person had just water and asked for a straw and was told he could just have got his own as they were close by! Service was fast and fairly friendly apart from that but we were expecting a little more class and ambience for a birthday brunch.

    First, I want to start by saying the servers are all extremely sweet and accommodating. Unfortunately, the food is simply not good. We found out that they eliminated the lunch menu and what is left on the breakfast menu is pretty basic and very under seasoned. Actually, there is no seasoning at all, not even salt and pepper. I would say if you want to sit outside and have coffee and dessert this place is great (the coffee is very good), but skip the food.

    I had a reservation for 1pm but arrived around 12:40. The waitress was able to seat us early. She sat us down and never came back. The table next to us gave us their menu. We were offered not even a glass of water. The lovely lady at the table next to us noticed we hadn’t received any service and literally had to flag down a waitress on our behalf to provide us service. A group of 8 people came in after us and the same waitress who sat us brought them all water and menus and took some orders. Once again…she sat us down and never looked our way after that. We sat there for almost 20 minutes before another waitress serviced us. The food was mediocre. Based on the service alone, I will not be returning to this establishment.

    Our group of 5 came here for brunch/lunch for my mom’s birthday. Since it was in Downtown Orlando, I wasn’t expecting the food to taste as good as it did but was thoroughly surprised! We decided to sit outside so the noise level was a little loud since the famers market was going on and there was a lot of traffic (which was totally expected). Jesse, our server, was phenomenal and provided excellent customer service! The food and drinks all came out pretty quickly and all tasted great! When we finished, Jesse gave us coupons for our next visit. We will definitely be back!

    Great location and concept. When you arrive it's not welcoming and the owner/manager was just seating there at the bar and was not very friendly. As a vegetarian, asked for a charcuterie plate with only cheese and first, they said there were unable to accommodate (weird) after they brought the plate with just cheese. The server was super friendly and tried her best, she was really nice and was very helpful and apologetic. She is an asset. The food was not good, but maybe my mistake was ordering savory items, while I think they specialize in sweets and desserts. It was my birthday.

    We walked into the very small restaurant were not greeted by anyone. I finally want up to an employee to ask about my table I had reserved for, she stated yes I have your table however, I was told by another employee there was another party waiting although I had the reservation we still had to wait about 15 minutes. Finally when seated we chose our waitress to be the more friendlier one and she was great. I believe her name was Janeese (blond hair). She kept the champagne coming and was very sweet and accommodating. I am not sure I will return here due to fact that having a reservation did not take priority.

    What a disappointing experience. I was skeptical after reading the reviews but still wanted to give it a shot… unfortunately, the reviews were right. The restaurant is very small with minimal seating. It does not have much for decor and does not feel inviting when entering. We sat down and were offered beverages by a very kind server. The service was probably the only positive thing from our experience. Looking over the menu, they advertise “all-day brunch” but Chef Mic(rowave) makes it difficult to order the things you normally would at brunch. We ordered a couple salmon bagels, a couple breakfast bowls, and a breakfast sandwich. I tried to order a fried egg on the side but they only were able to make scrambled eggs (red flag). The food came out and was extremely disappointing both flavor and presentation-wise. Looks NOTHING like how glorious their food looks on their website. We didn’t even get any bottomless mimosas because of how dull the place was. We will likely not return.

    The pictures on Dolce's website were a little deceiving. Dolce looked very glamorous. Was so excited to try it, but then was quite disappointed. Our waitress tried very hard but had a difficult time with numerous issues. Ice machine broken--had to go buy ice. She was not really sure about what was in the sandwiches on the menu. (menu mentioned sweet bread--she was not familiar.) Desserts were as pictured but 2 of our 3 were really not fresh. Aside from the food, the bathroom really needed cleaning and updating--very old and not very clean. Dolce has some good ideas, but they have some work to do on both the food and the overall appearance.

    When I realized it was in downtown Orlando I was hesitant because I didn’t want a crazy loud vibe. I wanted something calm and relaxing and this was exactly it! Me and my party had the best brunch experience I could’ve asked for on my birthday. Our server was so attentive, patient and kind. The food was exactly what I craved, the endless mimosas are a great price and I didn’t have to sit around waiting to be served another glass. I have not a single negative thing to say about Dolce, what a wonderful experience.

    Great food and professional service. The location is a bit small, but cozy inside. Due to the doors being open (on an unusually cold day) plus the air conditioning being on, it was a bit chilly inside, and of course, the small square footage did not help. Yet, we were pleased that our server closed the door upon our request.
