Music is too loud, you could not hear anyone at your table talking. We were sitting on the patio. Food selection on Mother's Day brunch was very limited and we were not too impressed. Service was great considering how busy they were. I would recommend it for younger folks, but the loud and obnoxious boom boom music is something less than desired for those of us who are “seasoned”.
Completely PHENOMENAL experience! Took my wife here for Mother's Day & our wedding anniversary & she really enjoyed herself. The food , the atmosphere, the service. The little rose on Mother's Day was a special touch. Everything about DOSALAS was a vibe. The outside view was gorgeous. We really enjoyed our time and will be definitely returning! 10000/10000

Graciela was our excellent and informative server. She helped my husband with his interest in tasting different tequilla's. She assisted us very professionally with our every need. Don't loose Graciela. She is a real asset to represent Dosalis.

Had a date night with my fiancée here and it was wonderful! We ordered the tomahawk steak to share and it was delicious. Drinks were really good and creative. Our server was great and so kind. Would recommend!
the food is absolutely phenomenal. the staff are professional, personable, friendly, and attentive. my boyfriend and i ordered the pasta that was tossed in a cheese wheel table side and that was an experience. we loved the dishes we ordered and will come back to try some more. the drinks were fantastic too. the light, the mood, the view, all so perfect. the food left my boyfriend speechless, which says a lot!!

First time visiting and love this place. We got a table on the second floor and got a stunning view of the waterfront. They have some options cocktails for on Instagram. Highly recommend trying if you are around Vancouver, Washington.

The food and cocktails were exceptional. The two star review is entirely based on the non existent service. We were ignored for most of our meal. Our party of four spent $370 dollars for our dinner and left a generous tip of $70. The food was totally worth the money.

We had a night of good drinks, good food, and great fun service! Perfect belated bday dinner

Food was so far and we ordered an appetizer which they never brought so we canceled it and then a server accidentally spilled a glass of champagne from a pretty expensive bottle glasses everywhere the alcohol spilled all over someone who doesn't drink and is sober

Nutshell: this is not a serious restaurant, but they're charging serious prices. I don't understand the positive reviews. Service experience on par with a sports bar. Overall sense of going through the motions, cruising on a beautiful location. Food quality unremarkable. Service was polite and competent, not very attentive to details, little discipline or professionalism - noone asked about a second round of drinks, slow to prebuss the table, brought a box for leftovers rather than offer to pack it for us. The staff were there to make their money and clock out. Starters ordered as a main for one in our party with dietary restrictions came out ten to fifteen minutes before the rest of the entrees, which themselves came out staggered and under or overdone. Staff member who brought the food auctioned off the plates rather than knowing where they should go. Server dropped the check without mentioning dessert. As we left I asked a bartender for a toothpick - no dice. Bathrooms were unattended and dirty. To be clear, I despise Yelp on principle (industry) and I never write reviews, as it's generally cruel and unfair. I don't usually go to places like this but I didn't pick it. Whoever owns/operates Dosalas should take more care or take it more seriously. Sure, running a restaurant isn't curing cancer or anything, but some people work hard for their money. I detest this hackneyed close, but it unfortunately sums the experience best - we won't be back. Management - please don't waste your time by responding to this review with another boilerplate show of contrition. I'd rather delete the review than give you a platform to telegraph disingenuous concern. I know first hand that running a restaurant is challenging, and I'm sure not every guest has an experience like ours, but where there's smoke there's fire. Good luck to you.
We dined last evening 4/22/2024 and had a fabulous experience! The food was impressive and exceptional! Everyone loved what they had. Two of the group of 4 got the ribs and loved them, 1 ordered the pork chop and absolutely loved it!! I personally ordered the Pomodoro pasta and absolutely unequivocally loved it!! The flavors in it are so rich and sat. The roasted garlic flavor and the sauce was just out of this world. I will come back to this restaurant just for the Pomodoro very soon! All of our starters were incredible! The desserts were also wonderful. We had the crème brûlée and the flourless chocolate tart cake!!! we wanted to order the million dollar, but we were all way too full to order a large dessert!!! But we decided we will order it next time we have a group! We also want to mention the service, which was absolutely exceptional! Olga, our server went out of her way to make sure our dining experience was above and beyond!!! So the manager also stopped by and made sure our dining experience was going well!! Kudos to the chef and the kitchen for putting out such five star food!! we will all definitely be back and we hope to come have the tomahawk steak next time for our table. Everyone was not ready for steak so we ordered individually. We are thrilled to have the caliber of this restaurant in Vancouver and it really becomes a destination dining place for us and our guests!!! Yes, we will be back soon!!
Food was great as always and our server was super friendly and welcoming. We will alway recommend this restaurant. Yes the price is a bit higher,but we also understand the information they are facing.

They clearly forgot to assign us a waiter. We waited for twenty minutes before having to ask a random staffer walking by to see if they could find our waiter. That person eventually took over, and it was fine, but this is the second time in a row we've been here and had a less than satisfactory experience. It's not likely we'll be returning. The food is good. It's not so good it's worth dealing with the service.

Beautiful location, pretty good food and ambiance. Their outdoor tables with the fire pit are very nice too.

The food and drinks at Dosalas were exceptionaly fine. We enjoyed every item we ordered, but especially recommend the Dosalas margarita, the Brazilian Cheese Bread and the Fettuccine Pomodoro. It was a great place to celebrate a special occasion.
