Dolores But You Can Call Me Lolita

We fell in LOVE the second we walked in. The ambiance is intimate, eclectic, romantic, and so cute. Candles everywhere. The server was adorable. The menu is incredible. Ordered the Wagu Steak and Cesar salad. OMG, YUM. My husband got the Churrasco steak and the famous gazpacho. DELICIOUS!! The BEST chocolate cake in the world was super yummy!

So happy to have stumbled upon this place. We were seated promptly and given a quick history lesson of the building. Very cool spot! Our waiter was so kind and attentive to our needs, never leaving us looking for service. Our meals arrived quickly and we dug right in. I would highly recommend the cornbread if you’re into that! The flavors were incredibly balanced and you could sense the thought put into each menu item. Thank you for having us!

Absolutely loved this place! The food was delicious and full of flavor, and I really appreciated all the little details that make the experience special. The dessert menu is super creative, both in ideas and presentation everything looked (and tasted) amazing. Can’t wait to come back!

I really loved the restaurant — the concept is amazing, the food was super delicious, the service was excellent, and the place itself is just lovely. I’d 100% come back, thanks to Dayana💕 who took care of us, she was very helpful and recommended super good ! And also, the cocktails were really good, such a great experience!💥♥️

We randomly picked this quirky spot for dinner and was taken by surprise the eclectic vibes in decor as well as the meal. I loved how the little croquettes were displayed in the egg carton. It felt interactive and fun. The corn bread as top notch, I had to take it home and have it for breakfast. I had the lobster bisque and felt the pieces of lobster were so minimal that the taste was not memorable at all. I witnessed many birthdays and celebrations around the room and while we ate the photographer came by. I honestly felt this was the worst time, I had my face stuffed with cornbread. Then she asked us to kiss and stand up get together, no ma’am this is not a good time. I would recommend the photographer to come before the food I probably would have taken the request.

Great food as everything was very tasty! We sat outside as we wanted to be in the rooftop,… but after being there like 30 minutes we realized not the smartest move in June at 1pm!! lol Waitress was very nice, but not attentive to our drinks or how our food was. Definitely coming back but sitting inside.

It was my 1st time coming to this AMAZING Restaurant & I have to say I am more than satisfied with everything. The food was a 10/10 😍, the customer service from all the staff was fantastic and specially Laura who was TOP NOTCH! The drinks she made us were exquisite and I will definitely be returning for more 🥰

Guests from Israel. Found this restaurant in Google search. Liked the name of the restaurant and today we were there. We liked everything very much, both the interior and the food. Special thanks to the waitress Laura (with a tattoo on her hand🙂)

Our server's name was Enzo he was excellent the food was very good and I love the atmosphere

Came in on a Saturday night with a reservation for two for 10pm. We were quickly seated on the rooftop. It was raining g outside so I was nervous but it is a covered rooftop. They have it lit up very nicely and play music and live games over by the bar area. Our server quickly brought us some water and we looked over the menu. They have a lot of options for a very good price! The Mahi Mahi dip was 10/10 and lobster bisque 8/10 lobster was a tad bit over cooked Oxtail tacos 9/10 and the short rib pasta 9/10 I got a drink but I can't for the life of me remember the name but if your server can recognize it by the picture I post I highly recommend getting it !

Great historical building down in the Brickell area. This restaurant serves up many a different spots to sit at and great things to look at. It was an old firehouse back in the day. Hence the steep, small stairs to get upstairs. For those with disabilities you can't even indulge in amazing rooftop with DJ and star views. Isn't there somehow to fix this? Deniz was our waiter. Very professional and had good recommendations for our group. This place is great for dates, rooftop for the young and single and the lower area for elders. Started with the cornbread and Cali Cheese quesadilla. Quesadilla was the star of the show for me, 10/10! Unfortunately being a HARD cornbread critic, it was a no for me. Too dry and lacked flavor. To wash that down, tried the Lovers Lane cocktail. It tasted refreshing with the nasty Florida heat! It was a 6/10. Dinner I gave the Hawaiian Tuna Poke Bowl a go. Mmmm, nope. It literally didn't taste that well and lacked flavor. I was surprised because for $35.99, I could do more in Dago at any poke bowl joint in the mall! That was a disappointment. Overall a fun experience and Deniz and his counterpart the lovely Roxanna were amazing.

By far one of the best deals in Brickell, each entree comes with an appetizer but the food was very bleh/bland if you ask me. It needed seasoning - if you have a friend that's a picky eater they may like it but for someone looking for a delicious plate scraping meal, maybe not. Definitely gives first date vibes. The truffle pasta needed more truffle. The fish dip was solid. They had a DJ was nice and they had great service & presentation. I think there are better options in brickell

All restaurants have something to learn from this place. Dolores.... can teach a master class in quality of service. I need to call out Sabrina, one of the managers, for saving our day and in the process showing us the best service we've ever experienced. Sabrina, thank you! We are tourists in this town but live in Florida. We are here for a brief stay and we're looking for a brunch spot. The style, decor, and ambiance got us and we needed to try it out. Without going into details, it all started with a Bloody Mary. From that point on, the food was only matched by the quality of service. Everything here is hand made. The chef clearly has a passion playing out with each plate served. We ordered the Gazpacho, Oxtail Empanadas, Fajitas and Paella. Everything was prepared authentically and mindful of the Spanish way of doing things. Please come here. You will not be sorry. Say hello to Sabrina for us, Have anyone of their menu cocktails. Better yet, have a Bloody Mary :-)

I really enjoyed the food here. I came in with a party of 10 on a Saturday with no reservation and was immediately sat. The croquettes were amazing and served in an egg carton, which I thought was unique. Overall, delicious food and good vibes!

Mannn if this was one thing you had to get it's this Fresh Baked Skillet Cornbread the butter was buttering it melted right into the skillet it's so good not only do I love that you get a app with an entree you cannot go wrong the Cesar salad they prep in front of you and shake it up perfect for date night or if you want to show off a little the ribs were so good and not to sweet of a bbq sauce the salmon bowl wasn't the best thing I've ate but it was good and nice and light after eating the other food options service is super fast and you cannot go wrong with the frozen drinks in the Miami heat

First of all WOW. Vibe and ambiance was immaculate and service was helpful and attentive throughout dinner. This is definitely a must for dinner dates or group meal. Plenty of space upstairs and downstairs but upstairs was where it was at. Menu was extensive, flavorful and extremely well priced. Dinner could not have been better and I am glad I chose this place on a random whim compared to the others within the block.

I love the vibe of their rooftop patio and the selection of food. Also Damian was a great host and made my sister's birthday dinner very pleasant. I strongly recommend making a reservation if you want to be seated on the patio and specially during the weekends. We had to wait for 40-45 minutes for the next table to be available. But, it was worth the wait. Their menu includes appetizers, entrées (including a choice of appetizer), desserts and of course drinks. We ordered "Free Range Chicken Milanese" with "Caes-ART Salad Our classic", "Seafood and Chicken Paella" with "Burrata, Salmon & Guacamole Toast", which was an upgraded appetizer with extra fee, and "Argentinian Churrasco" with "Caes-ART Salad Our classic". All our meals were delicious, but I strongly recommend the Argentinian Churrasco and Salmon Toast. For the dessert and of course the birthday cake, we ordered "The Best Chocolate Cake in the World" and shared it as it was a bit heavy after our dinner.

This is one of those brunch spots that have been up at the top for some time and I have put off visiting it for a long time. I'm glad to finally have made the visit for brunch and I knew I was in for a great experience. From the beginning as you walk into the restaurant, the decorated entrance is a warm welcome and the rooftop seating is comfortable. I'm also a very big fan of the boxes on each table to store your phones to make sure you're enjoying the experience full 100% with your party. Love those little details! I ordered the Mexican ox tail tacos which come as two tacos - small but delicious x100! These seem to be the most popular app according to the waitress and online reviews and I have to say these are 5-star worthy! The chicken and waffles on the main course is also in the same 5-star club! Warm, juicy, generous portions and so filling! Definitely going to have to come back and try some of the other dishes out.

Located in the heart of Brickell with solid meals and drinks. A must go to place if you want steak.

My company organized and event here. The ambience of the restaurant was great and the organizers were very accommodating. There was some miscommunication with the time, but it was handled. Everyone had a great time The dinner had a preset course. I particularly liked the paella. It was really good and flavorful. The desserts were also yummy. This is a good place to consider for any group or corporate events. Next time I come, I'll go check out their rooftop bar.

Being from Houston, all of my friends with aspirations to move to Miami mention Brickell! This funky little spot was my first introduction to Brickell, and it did not disappoint. On the best days, the rooftop makes for a picturesque brunch experience, and this was one of the best days. I "brunched" with six friends, and you know what that means- an opportunity to try 6+ entrees, and try 6+ entrees we did! Adorned with their little red blankets gracing our bare shoulders, we started with a few coffees and espresso martinis, Mexican oxtail tacos, fresh-baked skillet cornbread, and the famous croquettes. No traditionally prepared, the croquettes although presented beautifully were a split decision amongst the group. Everything else we'd strongly recommend. Our entrees were equally well received! I enjoyed my decedent burrata, salmon & guacamole toast almost as much as my oxtail taco. Based on the smiles at our table, you can't go wrong with any entree you choose. Protips for 1st timers: *Uber if you can, trust me walking the area is worth it *Make a reservation (you can go so on Yelp) *Dress for the weather

Gorgeous outdoor space on the 2nd floor. Super relaxing atmosphere and beautiful decor. We can here for an early dinner. Deniz was our server and he has fantastic! We ordered the tuna bowls. The tuna was super fresh and the portion was generous. The meals came with an appetizer. We chose the spinach salad with strawberries and the shishito peppers. Both were on the lighter side and a great way to start the meal. Loved the menu options here. Looking forward to trying the brunch next time.

Even on a Sunday night this place was packed and so lively! The downstairs area when you walk in is so charming and historic. Anthony was our server and he made recommendations that were superb, including the cornbread and he gave us the history behind this historic building that Dolores occupies - a 100 year old firehouse! We shared the bottle of Chardonnay house wine which was amazing and they even wrote our name on the bottle. The tempura shrimp and Shishito peppers as appetizers were my favorite bites - for dinner we got the black truffle fettuccine and the tune poke bowl. Everything was delicious and we finished it off with the Spanish cheese cake and oh my goddddd was it phenomenal!! Highly recommend and will be coming back our next time we're in Miami!

Best Rooftop Bar in Brickell!!! Love the atmosphere was very chill vibes and the music was very good (modern and chic). We did not order any food but we did order drinks (white wine's and Lola Smash's). They have two floors but the second is where the rooftop bar is and no reservation needed. Service was nice and everyone is attentive of all the guests . Highly recommend for a date night or night out with friends ^.^

Had my first date here with the woman of my dreams. Couldn't tell you a thing about the food, but it gets five stars for being the place where we first sat down together.

Hidden gem, only eat on rooftop. Never had a bad meal with amazing service and eclectic vibe!

Impeccable service, food and atmosphere. The cornbread is the best I've ever had. We found the other items such as the shishito peppers, peach Bellini, luxury paradise martini, and Lover's lane martini to be great as well. Our waiter Oscar had great suggestions and was super attentive to our table. This place was perfect! Thank you Delores and Oscar!

Delores... where do I start? This local gem is located in the heart of brickel. They offer an amazing lunch menu from 11:30am - 4:pm and happy hour from 4pm-7pm They have these cute boxes where you can put your cell phone inside for a more intimate dining experience. Lunch, or dinner, this place has you covered with an array of mouth watering dining entres and appetizers

Amazing brunch! Temis was our server and she was so attentive, highly recommended coming for Sunday brunch on the rooftop

We hosted our graduation at Dolores and it could not have been better! The staff did an amazing job helping coordinate the event and the service on the day of was impeccable. We had 2 hours of beer and wine service and everyone loved it. The Venue itself was perfect and set up so well, with plating, printed menus, and the tables arranged how it would best fit the number of people. The food was also delicious. The corn bread was delicious. Salmon and fried chicken were also great. And the two desserts of cheesecake and chocolate cake were very sweet but also wonderful. Would 100% recommend for an event or a dinner!

10/10. I attended a private event at Dolores and was so impressed from beginning to end. Located in Brickell, you have a nice view of the area from their rooftop terrace. Our menu was pre-selected as this was an event, but we tried the skillet cornbread and were not disappointed. Their truffle mashed potatoes were full of flavor. The Oh Wow! Spanish cheesecake was a perfect end to the meal. The staff was AMAZING- super efficient, helpful, and friendly. Consider hosting your events here! Can't say enough good things about this place.

First off, I'll say, I love this area in Brickell. It's a business district but where Delores is located has a decent nightlife - even on a Sunday. Tons of places to watch games - indoor and outdoor - and grab food and drinks with friends. Came to Delores on a Sunday evening and just wanted to sit at the bar, grab some drinks and enjoy a good dinner. Was first greeted by Melanie at the host stand. She was so kind and attentive. Quickly gave us the rundown on how the evening was going and made a call upstairs to her colleagues who were expecting us. A stellar first impression! Upon arrival to the second floor, Isabela met us and escorted us to our table, but we instead opted to sit at the bar to watch the game. France was our bartender and also did a fantastic job. Isabela was so personable which added a nice touch to our experience. You can tell she's been in this industry for a while by how she had hospitality embedded. It came natural! Now for the food... Everything was good but the standout was def the oxtail tacos. Two came in the order and this was by far my favorite app. Also got the sirloin with fries. Another great menu option but I wish I got the yucca fries! Overall, great dining location on a busy street filled with dining and shopping. Staff does a fantastic job and the decor and ambiance is beautiful. Didn't see many/any parking options by I may have just missed them. Was my first time here but won't be my last.

Favorite dine-in experience in Miami/Brickell!! My boyfriend and I were visiting Miami for the first time and our friend recommended us Dolores. We sat on the rooftop, which had a very cozy, vintage, chic ambiance! For their dinner hours, they offer appetizers/entrée deals (which I forgot the exact $ deals). This helped the dining bill a bit more affordable with flexibility to try their amazing small dishes haha. We got the Lobster Bisque and the croquettes and Mexican Ox tacos ! The croquettes are a MUST!!! they come in these cute pink egg-carton like containers, and they melt in your mouth like heaven. The tacos and the lobster bisque were also flavorful, but not necessarily something mind-blowing. We also got the Argentinian Churrasco, which we also throughly enjoyed. For dessert, I got the Spanish cheesecake and I've never tried this version of a cheesecake, so I was wary and it surely did not disappoint!!! Food. Service. Ambiance. Music. everything was top-notch and I look forward to coming back soon (hopefully)!!

While nice, the drinks were only mediocre. The major attraction is the rooftop bar's amazing view over Brickell; at night, the atmosphere and music are electrifying!

I came to Dolores for a Saturday night birthday dinner in the early evening. The decor is fun inside and outside. We sat upstairs, outside in a corner. It was quite warm as all fans were turned off. It was a bit busy, but not too hectic. Later in the night it was busier so definitely suggest an earlier dinner if you want to avoid the crowds. Our server was nice but very very absent. After being given the menus, she said she'd come back in a few minutes and took a long time. When she came back we put in our drink orders. I ordered a glass of champagne. Our drinks did not arrive for 20 minutes. I couldn't believe it. They only arrived after we followed up. We started the meal with the cornbread for the table. They currently have a special that you get a free appetizer with every entree. I ordered the salmon stir fry and the angry potatoes as an appetizer. Cornbread was pretty good, the angry potatoes were underwhelming and a small portion. Lastly, the salmon stir fry was super disappointing. It was breaded salmon that was soggy, the rice was kind of hard. The portion and quality was not worth the $33. After dinner we ordered cortaditos that barely had any milk, just straight up espresso. Someone ordered the cheesecake and the flavor was pretty good there at least. Overall, it felt overpriced for the experience. The service is absolutely terrible. You never see your server and everything takes a long time. Maybe we caught them on a off night but it was disappointing.

Have previously dined at Crazy About you and opted to give Dolores a try. So glad that I did. Great food. Great service. Great ambiance. Arrived prior to 7pm so able to capitalize on happy hour pricing (50% off drinks). Meal choices were phenomenal, included appetizer, and in my opinion - were reasonably priced. Wait staff is amazing and the food is always consistent. Make it a point to visit Crazy About You (sister restaurant) or Dolores each time I visit. Will be back.

Living right next to this place is the best! Came here for happy hour and dinner the other night and it was amazing as usual. I was craving ribs and Dolores did not disappoint--the only thing I wish is that they had more BBQ sauce. The cornbread and shishito peppers are staples for me (the garlic aioli is so good) and the lobster bisque was great. I wasn't expecting it to have chunks of lobster, made it all the better. I like to sit at the bar because the chairs are comfortable and the bartenders are always nice and attentive. The food comes out so quickly we usually aren't finished with apps by the time the entrees are out. I like that some of the dishes have some kind of twist to the presentation. It's truly so nice to have such an intimate rooftop bar so close by.

Love this rooftop vibe! Drinks fantastic Appetizers great (had tacos and Ceaser salad

Loved this spot as our final dinner in Miami! Super delicious and AFFORDABLE. $45 for a steak, fries, and oxtail tacos! The drinks were good too. Only complaint I have is they took a while but understandable we were a big party. Will definitely come back!

Fun little spot with its own unique vibe going on. I personally prefer the upstairs outdoor terrace vibe, and there's sort of different elements for everyone. It's survived a lot of restaurant turnover over the years and as a result I have quite a few memories here. The food quality at one point declined but the last two visits were quite nice. Their menu now has a good selection and easy price points. My friend who loves cornbread for that to start. I felt it looked better than it tasted, but since I was hungry I actually ate a bit of it. The tuna burger that I got was perfect. Juicy tuna stake. Buttery bun. Crispy salted fries. Enjoyed and would return!

Second time I go and they never disappoint. The thing with their menu is that you can pick a meal and it includes the appetizer. We got different apps to share and picked our own meal. Both times were to celebrate birthdays and they gift the dessert, so nice! I got the huevos rotos and the churrasco steak (medium). It is located in Brickell and they have valet parking. Super attentive servers and it gets packed even on weekdays. It has a rooftop part and you get a nice view of the brickell streets. Will keep coming because it's worth every cent.

I was here to show my cousin around Miami and I thought this would be a great spot to visit ! The food was delicious but the server, Emiliano was very rude. He never once smiled, I asked him for recommendations and did not say anything he just gave us a lot of attitude. I asked him about mimosas and he just said it has champagne. It was very unpleasant. He just seemed like he didn't want to be there. Other than that I love the ambiance here and the views are beautiful! Recommend the Hawaiian poke bowl.

This is such a unique restaurant! Each entree comes with an appetizer and different dishes are served in unique ways. We got the ham croquettes and angry potatoes for our appetizers, which were both delicious, and the croquettes were served in cute egg cartons. For dinner, had the mushroom tortellini and paella. The tortellini was so rich, and the paella was very yummy. The ham croquettes and tortellini were my favorites! Will definitely be going back!

Cute vibes all around. Started the night of my bachelorette with Dinner at Dolores. Everything you want in a restaurant. Great food, great music, great vibes, central location to everything in brickell and downtown! I had the tacos, a Cesar salad (not pictured) and a sangria! Everything was delicious!

Had an excellent lunch at Dolores aka Lolita. The Tuna Sandwich, with a generous sear on the Ahi, complemented by avocado and Sriracha mayo on a Zak the Baker brioche bun, was top-notch. The Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich wasn't far behind, packing a punch with cheddar, garlic mayo, and spicy brava sauce. Both came with a side: one a salad and one ham croquettes, adding a delightful twist. Service was outstanding. Highly recommend!

One of my favorite restaurants in Miami! This place used to be a fire station. It was closed in 1980 make sure to read the sign in front. The place was hopping with people at 9pm. We went to the Heat game and had a reservation for 9:45pm. At 8:50pm we asked if we can be seated earlier and the young girl made it happen. The appetizers for the 5 of us were all very good! The croquettes stood out the most! The cornbread was amazing! My steak and all of our meals all 5 of us gave a thumbs up. I was drinking a beer from Spain I really liked. The rest were drinking sangria. The Spanish cheesecake was very good! The check at the end of the day was a great deal! You need a reservation here and using yelp to reserve was a big plus! I will come again and again!

* i will preface this but saying I would've given this restaurant 1 star but our server Ariel who was phenomenal, and really turned around our entire experience * Parking is a bit of a mission so I would suggest ubering OR car pooling and using the garage across the street, not a bad walk I highly recommend reserving- we reserved at 9pm for our friends bday and we still had to wait 40 min to be seated- they did bring us free champagne glasses for the wait Immediately our server Ariel was pleasant and looked like she wanted to be there. I have allergies to egg and nuts and was knowledgeable enough to recommend which items didnt include that. My husband was also starving and she recommended what from the kitchen came out first and he was able to eat right away -which was great I had the olive oil pasta - great flavor, had mushrooms and pasta tasted al dente- great for my allergic queens. I also got the oxtail tacos with sauce ok the sauce- thought it was a good bit and not spicy- good app option Sadly the croquetas had eggs heads up My friend food a hair in his oxtail- they did comp it but obviously not a good look so far 3 guests ordered churrasco the cook and presentation was beautiful but had ZERO flavor- we mentioned it to Ariel she offered to bring another out only one of my friends accepted and she said it was better- this was also comped which was extremely sweet and we DID not ask for that. She also brought my friend free dessert for her bday which was another good touch. Overall thanks to her our experience was amazing but unfortunately if she wouldnt have been there - this would be a very different review.

I hadn't been to brickell in 4 years and this was event better than I remembered! Vibes, delicious, wonderful service!

This place offers great service, amazing food and a great ambiance overall. When in doubt I would always choose to eat here. The location is also great for date night or if you want to go out after there's a lot to do.

Cool vibes !!! Great waitress! Ana was phenomenal and she was so kind. I would totally come back just for her! Great vibes all the way. The rooftop is the best part. I came for lunch and it was so relaxing and the lunch was great. I got the Hawaiian poke bowl and my son got the tenders the food was fresh and yummy. The food came out so fast! I loved the atmosphere, it is best to come when it is not crowded, the fans are blowing and it was really a great time. I would come here when in Miami.

We had a wonderful dinner at Dolores. Amazing personable and friendly service, delicious food. Great drinks and beautiful place. Even though it was hot it was worth sitting outside and since they have a lot of fans we were still comfortable. Our server Armando and Gio were so amazing that we wanted to take them home :) Definitely recommend place as a cool spot for dinner and a good time with friends!

Dont let the lack of amazing photos detour you from choosing this spot! If you've never been here, it's a definite memorable restaurant you'll remember forever. It's an old fire station that is now a cozy modern 1950's style house with CANDLES EVERYWHERE. You check on downstairs and take the stairs up to the second floor for your table. Try to get a seat outside (rooftop). They were doing a "free app w any entree" type thing and not sure if they run that all the time, but it's not overly priced at all. I'm actually surprised at the prices. Not impressed w the dessert selection. But that's prob for the best anyway

We attended a lovely rehearsal dinner with about 50 people. We had an outdoor room which was a wonderful treat for all of us from the gloomy gray skies of the northeast. The set menu included delicious cornbread and Serrano ham croquettes. The latter are not usually something I enjoy but these were very tasty. Baby spinach salad with quinoa was followed by moist fried chicken and salmon. All very good. Spanish cheesecake was not a personal favorite but the chocolate cake was excellent. Delicate with deep chocolate flavor. Outstanding service from Temis, Junior, Miriam, Esteban, Anabel, and Veronica! Did I mention the don't-miss mojitos? Yum!

Delicious food. Beautiful venue. There are some great specials. Looking forward to coming back again.

Loved it! Beautiful rooftop patio with natural breeze and plenty of fans. Food was rich and flavorful. Cheese quesadilla looked small but it had soooo much cheese in it, very filling. Angry potatoes were delish but the sauce wasn't very good or spicy!!! (Sauce was on the side so we still devoured the taters). Our wonderful waiter Junior offered just the right amount of attention.

I liked this place a lot, cute as a button and fantastic rooftop seating that not too many people seem to know about. The door is somewhat hidden, but just go through the green tunnel and you'll see the door and up the stairs you go. Outdoor rooftop seating is a must. We had a few apps, drinks and dessert. Our server was a sweetheart. Our apps were tasty. My cocktail was delicious. The famous chocolate cake lived up to its hype. Will keep this place in my back pocket for when friends or family come to town to visit. It's nice to be one level above the street and the hustle and bustle of Brickell.

We held our wedding reception at Dolores in their Garden Room. Let me tell you it was amazing from top to bottom- the service, the food, the vibe, the room, the decor- just amazing in all aspects. They were also amazing throughout the planning and never made us feel like we were just a small wedding (26 guests) We must have called and emailed them 2 dozen times and they were always responsive and full of great ideas for our event We highly recommend them for events as well as dinner. Great place (and people)!
