"Once again Dulces proved to be outstanding. The service was attentive, but not intrusive. The food was wonderful. And, the wine recommendation was spot on - the right wine for the meal, affordable for our budget, and one that I wish I had in my cellar now that I have tried it."

Review 3 for Dulces Latin Bistro

Overall Rating 4.0 out of 5 (Very Good)
"My fiance and I went to Dulce's for Valentine's day. The restaurant had a very nice atmosphere, dimly lit with candles, white table cloth and place settings. There was a pianist playing romantic music, which also helped set the mood. We had the 4 course meal, and it was delicious! Good friendly service too, we never had to ask for water, and the meals came out as we finished each course. My only complaint was that while the experience was great, it didn't feel like it was worth 60$/person plus tip. Also the meals felt like they were a little small portion-wise, however we did get full by the end of our meal. :D"

Review 4 for Dulces Latin Bistro

Overall Rating 3.0 out of 5 (Good)
"We won't be returning. The food was good, but not exceptional. There was a live piano player -- and canned music playing at the same time (they did turn off the canned music on request, but it came back on later in the evening). Their confirmation e-mail stated that all wines by the bottle were 25% off on Wednesdays and Sundays. We were there on a Sunday and were told, "That offer only applies on Wednesdays.""

"Our Valentine's Day dinner was fantastic! Each course was great, and very tasty. The large wine list had a lot of variety, and was reasonably priced. We bought a bottle instead of two glasses, and even had some to take home. Will definitely return."

Review 8 for Dulces Latin Bistro

Overall Rating 5.0 out of 5 (Outstanding)
"I have been to Dulces a number of times and I am never disappointed. Carlos and his staff welcome you warmly and their hospitality is refreshing. This time we tried the Cioppino and Paella, and both dishes were excellent! If you are looking for a great restaurant to take a date for a romantic evening, gathering with friends for a great meal, or hosting a private dining event, I recommend Dulces."

Review 9 for Dulces Latin Bistro

Overall Rating 1.0 out of 5 (Poor)
"The food was flavorless and simply awful. The menu is limited and cannot believe this restaurant is still in business. And to top it off, ridiculously overpriced. I am highly disappointed by the food and feel even worse after seeing the bill. Will never go back again and would discourage anyone from going."
