The large glittery chandeliers, enormous bar, and cushy white leather-covered booths overlooking the water provide a bit of Vegas glitz. The menu includes a variety of small plates like ahi tuna tostadas and a deconstructed Mexican street corn with chipotle crema and cotija over tostadas, as well as large shareable plates like grilled octopus with saffron serrano aioli and jalapeño mint chimichurri. Showy cocktails like the Purple Rain with gin and St. Germain, infused with a combination of butterfly pea powder and gold glitter, flow from the sleek bar.

Amazing birthday dinner! Our server Graciela was phenomenal and made sure we had a great time. Fancy and delicious drinks. it was hard to decide what to order, and I'm vegetarian so that can be hard, but so many options here! Highly recommend.

While a friend was visiting Portland from out of state, we decided to meet up with a friend who lived up I-5 in LaCenter. As a rendezvous from Portland to her, we elected to stop and check out the new Vancouver waterfront for lunch. In comes DOSALAS Latin Kitchen! We were able to make a reservation for our group of 5 with two kids and a baby with a Stroller. This restaurant is located on the second floor with a first floor reception area. Luckily, they have an elevator easily available for us to bring our stroller up and downstairs without any issues. One of our members was vegetarian so we found some great things to share and ordered one of the salads with the protein on the side which worked perfect for sharing and enjoying the food together. We tried the roasted beat salad which was delicious and nicely plated as well as a couple of their 3 taco specials and some fried cauliflower too which was nice and crispy. It was a bit early to start drinking with our kids, but this would be a perfect place to sit outside and enjoy a view of the new waterfront while also having a fun drink to cool off and relax. The staff were very helpful and accommodating and we were delighted with the delicious food. There is a wide selection of cocktails, any tequilas and some crafty/snazzy cocktails if you want them to put on a show. On Tuesdays they do 50% off some of their select top shelf tequilas too. We enjoyed the upper patio area with views of the water and if it’s a cooler evening they have a very long table with a fire strip behind a glass edge that can be a fun place to relax and sit by the fire. If you’re out checking out or planning to be in the new Vancouver waterfront area and you want a classy spot to grab some Latin inspired foods, we would definitely recommend a meal at DOSALAS Latin Kitchen. Thank you for taking the time to read my review and I hope you enjoy your time along the Vancouver waterfront. Happy Eating!

Had a great time here! The paella was flavorful, the chunky guac was fresh, and the lamb lollipops were tender and well-seasoned. The kamikaze drink was smooth and hit just right. The only thing I noticed was a really intense smell when walking in—maybe from staff cologne or something in the air system? Not a dealbreaker, but definitely noticeable. Still, the vibe was awesome, especially with the view overlooking the river. Would come back.

A wonderful place to celebrate special occasions. The atmosphere is very unique and beautiful. They have an outdoor eating area on the second floor overlooking the Columbia River and long fire-pit table for to keep you warm and add to the atmosphere at night. Inside they have very unique and very comfortable U-shaped booths that are great for a quieter and more intimate setting. They have an excellent food selection with a latin twist. My favorite was the Peruvian Crispy Pork ribs (see pictures). They also have several dishes that allow for a table-side show, like the Fettuccine Alfredo de Fuego. And finally, the desserts (some made in house) that were fantastic. Our favorites were the Carmel Flan and Pink Guava Cheesecake. Again, see pictures...

Came here to celebrate our son’s first birthday (mostly for our enjoyment, but it was so good he might remember it when he grows up 😂) Honestly one of the best dining out experiences I’ve had in recent memory. I had a spicy mango margarita and the chimichurri pork chop. Absolutely unreal how good everything tasted, and Austin took wonderful care of us as our server - offered great recommendations and was super friendly. We will definitely be back!

We celebrated our anniversary here was greeted with surprise. The menu was a great touch and were offered a celebratory toast. Being GF, not by choice lol, I was grateful their menu was marked and informative. We did learn, you need to double check, especially if the restrictions are for safety. We ordered two dishes marked GF, one showed to the table with crisp fried onions on top. Fortunately we asked for confirmation and were informed they were in process of updating the menu to new adjustments the chef has recently made that made the NY steak dish no longer GF. They were prompt and considerate to correct the issue. Overall, the food was delicious. Highly recommend the Brazilian bread! It has been a long time since I’ve enjoyed cheese bread. The dessert and drinks were fun, if you’re looking to post something unique. There is plenty of photo opportunities at the table and around the restaurant.

We had an incredible dining experience thanks to Graciela’s wonderful service. From start to finish, she was attentive, kind, and made us feel right at home. Thanks to David also for his hospitality. The Tomahawk steak was perfectly cooked, the corn was sweet, and the mushroom medley added the perfect earthy touch. Graciela’s attention to detail and warm personality truly elevated our evening. Highly recommend—thank you, Graciela!

Came in with my wife and 2 kids for father's day dinner after a long day at zoo and running around. Kids were a little tired and our waiter, carlos, was super patient when my 3 year wanted to talk to him. All of our food was top notch and the steak I ordered rare took a little extra time because it was over cooked and was brought out another appetizer from sous chef and cocktail from carlo to enjoy while they remade the steak. Awesome place from staff to decor, music and of course the food and drink itself. We'll be going back again for sure!

Just amazing! After dinner we stopped in to check the place out because we've been hearing some good buzz around town. I was already stuffed but everything on the menu looked phenomenal so we had to order something! Sat up at the bar and we were very well taken care of. The bartender, (Alex?) I hope I remembered his name because he was awesome. We also talked to a female blonde longish haired bartender that was also beyond great... a manager came over with roll ups for us right on time, servers were all talking to us, pretty much every staff member in the place took the time to talk to us and it felt so welcoming. The place is seriously decadent on the eyes. Beautiful. Clean, happy, and exactly what we needed tonight. We had a salad with roasted pepitas, mango, jicama, and the most amazing salad dressing. But the best thing of all, so good I'll probably dream about it tonight, the pork belly skewers!! So tender, the sauce was like heavenly, and the pickled onions and arugula just all hit like an explosion of happiness. I can't wait to come back and try everything on the menu because I bet it's all that good.

I came here for Happy Hour on 7/3/24, the afternoon started off great, and the weather was perfect out on the deck, overlooking the river. We ordered a round of drinks which we all enjoyed. We asked for some napkins/silverware, since the table was not set with any. After about 15 minutes, and no response, we asked another server who was passing by for some, and waited another 10 minutes. At this point, we had been onsite for about an hour and our food was expected to arrive any minute, but still didn't receive any. We then asked a 3rd time, with a different server, for these items, and the server came by a few minutes later, and said "we understand you requested napkins, but we are not sure what you had in mind," and offered some paper napkins that were very thin and looked like the style you would receive at some drinking establishments with your beverage. We responded and said we'll take what we can get, but truly expected to get some silverware wrapped in a cloth napkin, similar to what EVERY other table around us had been offered. I legit had expected to see Ashton Kutcher come out from somewhere, like if we were on the Punk'd reality show, and tell us they were just messing with us! FINALLY, we were given these coveted items, right before our food showed up, and were able to enjoy our meal. The main server was a bit slow to understand our basic requests, and we did have to repeat ourselves often, and she even forgot to bring one of the drinks, I guess they were sort of busy, but. . . . Most of the food and beverages were very tasty, however, the steak in the nachos did have a lot of gristle. Overall, we would have preferred better service, but these mishaps wouldn't deter us from dining here in the future.

Located on the Vancouver waterfront, Dosalas offers an amazing view of the Columbia River. And, if you're dining in the summer, the patio is an amazing spot to dine. Service here is kind and fairly quick. When I came with my boyfriend, we only came here for drinks and some small bites, so we sat at the bar. Their drinks menu has a wide selection with fun cocktails offered as well. The drinks are pretty good. We got the empanadas, pork belly skewers, ceviche, and mushroom medley. Each one was delicious, and different. I would definitely come back if I were in the area.

We had dinner for the first time tonight. Oh. My. Gosh. Amazing!!!! The design of this location is absolutely stunning! I'm an interior designer and was impressed with the fantastic combination of textures, style and pure ambiance. Even the staff was dressed to impress. Now to the food and drinks... I could not have dreamt of a better meal. We started with the Dosalas Chunky guacamole and chips. Probably the best we have ever had, EVER! The flavors would fresh, flavorful and melted in your mouth amazing. Pretty sure my husband and I fought over the last chip and spoonful. We shared the New York Strip Loin. Tender, juicy, packed full of rich flavor. This delicious side of beef was served with creamy mashed potatoes, sautéed mushrooms and brussels sprouts. I'm still in awe of the flavors in each bite. To top it all off, I order 2 signature drinks, the Crazy Stupid Love and finished off with a Classic strawberry margarita. They know how to make drinks!!!! Absolutely a fantastic place to go for date night, drinks with friends or company social hour. We will be back!!!! Thank you DosAlas for knowing how to bring true perfection to both drink and food. Cheers!

Went here for my birthday for some dinner and drinks. It was such a fun restaurant with great views. It was on the pricier side for what you get so I wouldn't find myself going here regularly, but it was good. Note: if you book on the patio you CAN'T do the tableside offerings. I was happy they were able to switch me day of. The apps were probably my favorite. Small portions so if you are sharing with more than 4 people you'll need multiple orders. For birthday dessert they brought out a sundae of vanilla ice cream with syrup. I was hoping for something like cheesecake or cake to blow out but it was a nice treat.

The place itself is beautiful. Great location, right on the border of Washington and Oregon. The inside is beautiful and the staff were friendly and very welcoming. The food was good but I think they could revamp the menu. For the beauty of the place and the prices I feel like the food could have been better.

Nestled by the Columbia River, this restaurant is a dreamy spot for a date night. The calamari and classic margarita were standouts, while the mushroom medley with garlic bread was a heavenly pairing. The Burrata offered a unique twist that pleasantly surprised. Kudos to Evan, our attentive server, who ensured a seamless dining experience from start to finish. Highly recommended for a romantic evening with stunning views and exceptional service.

Nice view and great customer service. It's a place to have an event or celebration. food is hit or miss. Sopes are spicy as hell. you can't go wrong with the pork belly and the Mexican corn. The drinks are strong, but pretty pricey

Coming back 2 years later. Still impressed. This is a must for cocktails and tequlia. Last time it was more of a meal experience with my loved ones. This time it was bestie time! Sitting up at the bar we had a blast. We just had drinks. We were so comfortable at the bat stayed until close. All of the cocktails were picture perfect and fun! Wow factor for sure. Cant wait to come back and try a fancy tequlia!

I've been wanting to try this place down on the Vancouver Waterfront since they opened, but based on previous reviews, I was hesitant. I'm so glad I finally went. I made reservations through Open Table. I requested window seating in the "over 21" dining area for brunch. We came on a Sunday around 11 and were able to find metered parking, which is free on Sundays. Upon entering the building, the decor was upscale and fun. There are two swings and a neon Dosalas sign. Great for photo ops! The staircase up to the restaurant was lined with poinsettias. It was so festive and inviting! At the top of the staircase is the host area. We were greeted and seated right away. Our window booth was perfect! The view, although wintery, was beautiful. We ordered some coffee, French toast, bacon, and carnitas rancheros. The staff was super friendly, attentive, and accommodating. They all helped each other out, so we had various people taking our order, bringing food and the check. It worked nicely. We never felt like we were waiting too long for anything, and the food came out hot. The French toast was absolutely delicious, and there was a lot of it! I couldn't eat it all... my husband helped. He loved it, too! It had a nice, crispy outer layer with a soft center. The strawberries, fresh whipped cream, and maple syrup were perfect accompaniments. I also ordered a side of bacon to offset all the sugar. My husband loved his carnitas rancheros. He said it reminded him of a meal we had in Cabo. Overall, it was a wonderful first visit. We were pleasantly surprised by the food portions and price, the friendliness of the wait staff, and the comfortable environment. We'd like to try their dinner menu next!

Came in for brunch and had a rezzy so we were seated right away. Ordered coffee, and it took almost 10 minutes to get to us. There were two other tables and a few servers working that day. They serve the creamer in a sort of shot glass and it spills everywhere. We ordered our food when the long awaited coffee was delivered. Again, we sat there waiting on coffee in the meantime. Food came out and was fantastic. My companion had the avocado toast and I had the carnitas. The views were beautiful and we were very happy with the taste and presentation of our meals. Well done kitchen staff. Wait staff: while y'all are beautiful(is this an actual requirement to work here?) your long, and I mean veryyy long nails are tacky and should not be allowed in food service. Long nails in my plate and in my food is just Gross. We all know what's under those claws. Put a little hustle in your service, and less on your beauty standards. The pricing of this place does not reflect the service. Disappointed to say the least with the service here. I will order take away next time and skip the beauty pageant.

Dosalas is a fun, vibrant, loud, expensive, interesting restaurant. The entrance is on the back side of the restaurant at street level where the semi surly hostess will sort of greet you, sort of question you before you are taken upstairs to the restaurant. I thought the food was all interesting, great flavors and vibrant presentations. The "Instagram Worthy" on the menu made me want to throw up a little, but I have to admit that those dishes were instagram worthy. A lot of thought has gone into how things look at this restaurant, from the decor, to the way the drinks are presented. It's pretty unique in the Portland/Vancouver area for a place to spend so much energy on how things look (we are a city full of food trucks). So, if you know someone who really cares about the esthetic and you're willing to pay extra for it, then this is your spot, you won't be disappointed.

I and my party were really disappointed. #1: HOLY overpricement. #2 the decor is garish. #3 my party members visited the restroom and reported back that it was disgusting - pee on the toilets, etc. The view is very lovely. The mussles & clams dish was delicious - that's what gives the second star. As a person who lives in Vancouver, WA - I have no desire to go somewhere that makes me feel like I'm in Miami. The overpricing is egregious. EDIT: Let me clarify - our entire party, independently, thought that this place is run by the Russian mafia so no, I will not be emailing you from my personal email to discuss.

Dosalas is clean on the outside and inviting on the inside. Dosalas is beautifully decorated and set up. The ambiance can't be beat. I went her for lunch with a colleague. Upon approaching the restaurant, there was a woman outside watering the plants and making sure the restaurant looked good. Upon entering, I was taken aback by the ambiance. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. We headed upstairs to sit near outside . It was a mildly rainy day and very cloudy. It was warm inside. Even though we sat at a booth next to where they had the window open, the rectangular fire pit in the middle of the room kept us warm. I also want to note that there are seats around the fire pit, so it was possible to be even warmer, but I wanted the view. The menu includes all kinds of delicious things, so I had a hard time choosing. My colleague got the Ceviche and Empanadas, which she said she always gets. I ordered the Empanadas and Lamp Chops. Both the Empanadas and Lamb Chops canes with the most delicious pickled onions. They were delicious with the food and by themselves. The food was delicious! I can't wait to go back and try more. The food was expensive, but worth it for me. I have never tasted lamb chops that good. The chimichurri sauce that it came with was the icing n the cake, so to speak. The Empanadas were delicious as well. This would be a 5 star review if the service was better. The servers were nice and checked on us quite a bit. We were never asked if we wanted drink refills, my colleagues ceviche didn't come out until we were done eating and asked for it to go, and when I asked for a box for my lamb chops, they gave me a box that didn't fit them, despite packaging the ceviche in a box that would have fit the lamb chops. I would go back again, but would complain about the service while I'm there. The people that work there are really nice but could do a bit better with service.

We came in on a Sunday around 4:00 for some light bites while we were walking around the waterfront. I was really excited when we first walked in, as it's a gorgeous space, but was quickly disappointed. We got the guacamole trio, which was just fine. Our glasses had to be replaced because they were dirty, then we found something floating in the bottle. We had to ask for cutlery and napkins after our food came out. We waited quite a long time for our server to come back. All in all, for the prices they charging, I expected FAR MORE.

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 wanted to go somewhere on the more upscale end for New Year's Eve, so we decided to try Dosalas. When I called to discuss a reservation, I was told on the phone that they were totally booked. So I checked online and was able to reserve a table there. We arrived and were seated promptly. The inside of the restaurant feels very "Vegas" - sparkles, low light, and expensive tequilas line the wall. We ordered the margarita flight (pictured) and the Vintage Fashion. We didn't know the flight was essentially four full size margaritas! The Vintage Fashion also arrived in a fancy box full of smoke. All were delicious. For food, we got the empanadas, the burrata, the tuna tostadas, and the Mexican street corn. I think we enjoyed the burrata the most! Overall, service was good, the food and drinks were good, but I do think it's quite a bit over priced. We enjoyed our night but probably won't be back unless there's another celebration.

Dont pass this place up! Food was outstanding! I will be coming back. I had reservations at 6PM and was seated on time. The only feedback I would suggest is to help the waitress clean up dirty plates and dishes. Had to ask multiple times. The drink service needed improvement. I wanted to provide this feedback to the management. Our server was seated with 3 tables in the bar at the same time. I think she did the best she could with limited support from other staff. YOU MUST GET THE CAST IRON COOKIE!!!

I was so excited to try this place. It always looks like so much fun and the food looks so delicious. I came in super optimistic and hopeful. I even told my other friends, we gotta go to this place. But upon coming in, the hostess took her time getting to me. No one else was in the lobby with me and I wasn't sure if I should have spoken up. But I was standing there for a little bit before she talked to me. I told her there was a reservation and she sent me upstairs. The music was really loud. I was trying to tell the server the name under the reservation and it took several tries before I was seated. I know I was a little early but it took a really long time before another server came around. To my confusion, people were lead and seated along with me at the table who I didn't know. After talking to the staff, they moved me inside to a table to wait for my party. Then when my party had arrived, we were then moved back outside to our original table, because we were supposed to be outside I think. There was a lot happening and a lot of confusion. The outside bar area was very crowded, loud, and cramped. I've never been here before this experience, but my friends were all commenting on how the portions have severely gotten smaller. My plate was huge so I didn't have any comments on that. I understand that the food doesn't come out all together. But it was kind of ridiculous that the rest of my table all got their food and then some, their second to third round of drinks, and I was still sitting there. I considered just telling the server to cancel my order or even asking them to just box it up because everyone at my table had finished eating and we were just waiting on me. I thought they forgot about my food. I had a few bites and it was good, not great. I wouldn't wait that long for the Yucatán game hen with saffron rice again. The view of the waterfront was very beautiful during sunset though. But the flies were a very unwelcomed guest.

First time at Dosalas for brunch and it was okay. I ordered the French toast and it was very sweet. My friend's dish was good. We both ordered the mimosa flight to share and that was terrible. Not sure why there were gold pieces in our drinks and it didn't taste good at all. Besides the drinks the food was decent. Food and drinks I'd give 4/5 but the ambiance of the restaurant I'd give 5/5.

Food was not worth the undisclosed "service charge" tacked onto the bill after our meal. Why are restaurants so scummy to their customers? Will not be returning

Has a 2% surcharge for the final bill. For no reason other than they need to make more money. You're a wallet not a customer.

This spot has great ambiance. The view from our table was immaculate, I could see the river and the bridge beautifully. The whole restaurant is very clean. I'm not one to dress up so showing up in a t shirt and jeans I felt a little out of place but the waitstaff were super friendly, dressed nicely and made great recommendations. The food was good, but for the price I was slightly underwhelmed. The parm wheel pasta was a cool experience and great flavor but a bit dry. I got a margarita flight that was delicious and the appetizers were also really good. Overall I don't think I'll go back mostly because for the value I could get much more out of a different place but for the experience I could see dining for special occasions.

I was very excited to try this place, tequila is my jam, but unfortunately I think it is greatly overrated. The prices of drinks are wildly expensive, though they are pretty stiff. I had the Coco Chanel, which was delicious ($21), surprisingly not too sweet. Didn't like the orange in the Dosalas margarita ($23). They are pretty generous but still quite a sticker shock. For food, we started with the Brazilian cheese bread (GF) and when they brought 6 pieces, my partner and I both laughed. They were dense and delicious, but for $10 I expected more than 6. We also split the paella (GF), which was a very generous serving and could have served 3-4 people for $80, however, the meat in the clams and mussels was very minimal, so that was disappointing. As someone who is celiac, I am pleased to share that I experienced no adverse reactions/symptoms of cross-contamination. The restaurant itself is very pretty, but we were seated in the bar area despite a pretty wide open restaurant, so we felt very exposed with the low backed bench seats and bar chairs that are a tight squeeze. We are tall people so we felt like we were sticking out like a sore thumb, plus we were celebrating our engagement so we were hoping for a cozier, more private booth. The music is pretty loud and while our server was nice, as were the bar staff and cooks, it felt like the overall vibe is trying too hard to be high end and it didn't feel "genuine". It was overall an underwhelming experience. I'm glad I finally tried it but for a $200 bill, it wasn't what I'd hoped to expect and I won't be back.

You can't beat the location or the ambiance- it transports you somewhere warm and sunny and luxurious. Definitely a "just stepped off the plane in miami" kind of feeling. I know that the owners work very hard and even travel to meet different chefs to curate the menu. Everything is done with intention. The menu is Tapas style, but contains a small selection of entree options as well. I typically come here with friends or family and order many small plates to share. It makes for a super fun experience. The cocktails are very intricate and most of them are presented in unique, camera-friendly ways. Absolutely worth a visit.

Outstanding empanadas--go for the flaky crusts and variety of flavorful interiors. It's a beautiful restaurant with stunning riverside dining. However, it is loud. It's also overpriced. I'll be back for happy hour to see if there's a bit more value than the $80 paella for two (think mostly rice with 3-4 shrimp per person). Service is very professional--I just couldn't hear the conversation and felt like I was straining my voice to be heard. The patio may be a better experience.

Food was incredible. Service was great. Involuntary 2% service charge at a bar with $24 cocktails due to "rising costs" is an embarrassingly bad business decision. Especially when it's not noted on the menu. Plenty of great choices on the Vancouver Waterfront that simply price their menu to account for the cost of doing business without being deceptive. Won't be back.

We recently returned from a another experience at the DOSALAS restaurant and I have to say it was a complete turnaround we came back with an invitation from Andrew and experienced a seamless event. The food was delicious. The drinks were delicious and the server Graciana was by far the best server I have had in Vancouver. We really enjoyed our experience. I had the steak New York and my husband had the tenderloin both were cooked to perfection. We did not have dessert because we were so full, but we do plan on returning and we will like to try the dessert menu at that time, thank you again for working so hard to make our experience pleasant I know firsthand how much work goes into providing a great experience and I appreciate it

The location and the presentation make this place so worth it! I got the Kylie, and even though the presentation was 10/10, I did not love the drink! I would recommend the margarita flight! You get to try a little bit of everything, and it is also a great flight to share We also had the guac to share, which was pretty good!

Food was delicious, service was amazing. Place is very clean. But prices on food is very expensive.. we went with group and ended up paying extra $220.00 for fees that was on taxes, 2% on prices on inflation? (Seriously) Nonsense on extra fees. But otherwise everything is good, definitely not coming back. For 2 of us payed $250 not worth it.

The restaurant setting is beautiful and, spacious, with modern decor, and the view of Columbia. The music and ambience was loud, making it difficult for our party of six to chat. This place is perfect for a special occasion with drinking and nibbling. I wouldn't recommend this place for dinner alone, if you're not drinking alcohol. The menu is limited, the portions small, and expensive. The cuisine is small bites/tapas style. The presentation of the food was lovely. The quality of the food was good, but not impressive. We got tuna, tostadas, essentially raw tuna, with special sauce, served on top of a round tortilla chip. Each order had four tostadas. The pork belly was tasty, also portion to four pieces. Paella to share, is essentially dinner portion for two people. Expect to pay double the norm for alcoholic drinks. There is a 20% automatic gratuity for parties of six or more. The service was OK, but I don't think it deserved 20%. Our total bill came to almost $700, for six small tapas, one paella and drinks.

The food was amazing! You need to ask for Olga because she is the best and will get you what you need. The food was great. Love the margaritas. My husband got the smoky old fashioned and the presentation was a show stopper!!! Olga .... Amazing thanks for making our evening special.

My friend and I went here the day after Valentines day for lunch, and we were seated with a wonderful table with a nice view of the waterfront. We both had the hamburgers, and the addition of the thinly sliced roasted chilies were amazing! The service was polite and attentive. The cocktails were on point. I had the Coco Chanel. It was kind of like a cocktail and dessert all in one. I would definitely return the next time I'm back in Vancouver.

One of my favorite Waterfront restaurants. The service is always good. The cocktails are delicious. The food is good. For this visit, we stopped in for drinks. The Guava Lavender is one of my favorites.

We enjoyed our time earlier this afternoon so much, we came back again in the evening. Note that it was Sunday. I imagine it gets crazy busy on Fri and Sat and recommend coming here when it's not as busy so you can get the most bang for your buck. It's a bit a pricy and I can see why-ambiance is top notch! Very instagram ish. Love the decor and textures. All the folks here were super nice and if I lived closer I'd be a regular. The pork skewers paired well with the street corn (packed with a flavorful punch) and you can't go wrong with any of their signature drinks including purple rain, pina colada and margaritas. You get 4 small pieces with the brazillian bread order and they drip with ooey butter and garlic. The seafood platter for 2 was fresh and great to share.

Very cool place! Pretty ambience and nice view. We ordered the shareable chicken and pork chop dinner, and a paella. The environment looks like you should be dressed up! Very pricey. I would recommend the paella if you enjoy seafood over everything else! It was to die for. Drinks were tasty although very pricey.

definitely a great place for a date. the food and drinks are great, but it's a high end dining place and is pricy. The service was phenomenal, but not a place I can go to a lot because of the cost. The servers are dressed super nice, so it's definitely a place where dressing up is encouraged. i would love to plan a date night here with my partner when the fund are right. the atmosphere of the restaurant is trendy.

Everything is good except the shady business practice. On your receipt you will notice a 2% surcharge to "cover rising costs." This is basically just a surprise extra charge on your order. Prices are supposed to be upfront and customers shouldn't be tricked by greedy liars. Shameful and should be illegal.

If you're looking to spend your money on some bomb drinks and flavorful dishes- this is the place you need to go! Don't expect to get your $8 cocktails here, btw. But trust me- you're going to want to experience this restaurant at least once. Parking is a bit tricky. Even on weekdays, expect to park at the paid parking lots in the back (with hopes that it'll still be there since they're building lots of new apartment buildings in the area). You're in competition with the other restaurants in the area as well. But if you end up having to wait before being seated, it's okay! Enjoy the scenery, take a walk or just simply hang out. Service was great! We sat at the bar area on a Wednesday night and was treated with a table side margarita service. We got their seasonal special, pina colada. And definitely a great way to start your night. Food / drink: you heard me right- come with the intent to spend. But it is WORTH it, in my opinion. I came here spontaneously for my birthday and didn't expect to be hit with the prices. But- I barely enjoy a night out and my birthday was the exception. Coco Chanel was DEFINITELY the drink of the night. I was tempted to get more than one- but for that price, I held back. My husband tried out their Vintage Fashion and was definitely amazed by the theatrics and flavors. They serve tapas style dining with a few main dishes. We decided to get their main dish which was beyond amazing.! The flavor was immaculate and divine. I got the crispy pork ribs and the bones literally fell off. It was so flavorful with that hint of spice from the sauce. My husband got their pork chop- and we haven't had pork chop served this way before. It was a generous serving and cooked to perfection. We may have been super hungry that night. But we honestly enjoyed every single bite. You will definitely bring left overs home. I'm pretty sure the 2 plates could feed 4 people if you decide to share. It was enormous. We are definitely adding this to our "fancy" dinner dates section because of the price. But worth it!

Dosalas is Beautiful! From the moment you walk in you're greeted in the gorgeous entrance. A plant wall, beautiful chandelier and gorgeous lighting. This is where you can check in for your reservation or for walk in. You have the option to take the stairs or elevator to the second floor where the the views are stunning and the design and lay out of the restaurant are tied beautifully. We were a party of 4 and sat at the window over looking the Columbia. We order drinks and food. A few different margaritas from Passion fruit to spicy. And a Raspberry Kamikaze (so delicious) For food, we had some small plates. Pork belly skewers, Brazilians cheese bread, Burrata panzanella, Caesar and steak salad. Everything was wonderful. Our waitress was so great! Helpful and so sweet. Great for date night, happy hour, birthday celebration or just a fun time. Enjoy

The location is nice, and I'd consider coming back for drinks and a snack. We had plans after so decided to get takeout. The food was not the quality I expected for the price. The cheesy bread is a small portion and costs more than the same item at most restaurants (which give bigger portions). The pork belly was almost entirely fat- two pieces were inedible. The empanadas had a different texture than any I've ever had before and had a strong spice on it (nutmeg perhaps), it reminded me of a dessert yet this was suppose to be a savory short rib empanada. The cheesy corn was fine as was the cheesecake. Unfortunately not a single item is something I'd order again. If I return, I'll try another small item or two and a cocktail.

I'm kind of surprised this doesn't have higher reviews. I went here with a friend and we just had some cocktails and beer. I thought it was fantastic. Yes, it is very expensive but I thought the atmospher, service, and views were all amazing...in other words I thought the prices were worth it. I had the Vintage Fashion. Yes, it was $24 but it was fantastic and was also presented in its own applewood smoke box; needless to say it had the 'wow' factor. My friend had a mojito and it was also very good. I thought Dosalasn had a very 'Vegas' feel to it which I really enjoyed, plus it offers great views of the river. We had fun and I'll definitely be going back. If you do decide to go, just be prepared for a little sticker shock.

Had another fantastic time at Dosalas! I love the atmosphere and the gorgeous views!! Our server this time was David- he was attentive, helpful with suggestions and fun!! I met up with my daughter and a long time friend- it was the perfect place to share delicious nibbles while we had a drink and visited! The food is always beautifully presented and so delicious!! My only suggestion would be to try to make a bit larger portions- for the amount paid the portions were one each for each goodie unless you ordered 2. My daughter stated she was still kinda hungry after we left and I had to agree. That being said it was delicious. A fantastic time was had by all and that's what matters!
