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.

Started with crispy kale- light and crunchy. They were lightly flavored- just right. Ate steak- cooked perfectly. Side dishes yummy and perfect for sharing. Dessert sizes were not over the top; a good way to finish the meal.

Cooper’s Hawk seems to maintain consistency in their food at the various locations I have visited which is not common in a lot of chain restaurants. The wine is always good and our server, Jade, was amazing.
