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

You have to come out on Thursdays and have Yazmine the best bar maid ever serve you. She welcomes you with this bubbly personality. She makes sure your time spent here is enjoyable.

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

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.

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.

My daughter had her 40th Birthday celebration here.Nick and all the staff were personable professional and gave attention to detail from start to finish. Words are inadequate to express. I would definitely consider having another event here.
Went here last night for a Christmas party. Everyone in my party was allowed in for free but my friend and i had our ID held until we paid $20 each. I was challenging them on the bogus $20 charge to get my license back. The door staff is shady, she couldn't explain why we paid and no one else did. Then she started being hostile. Do yourself a favor and take your business elsewhere .

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.

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.

A well known common bar and lounge in the Elizabeth area. It's a good time with good music. However, service could be better and the bartenders can only make simple drinks.
