Dolores, But You Can Call Me Lolita

Comida excelente, atención super, buenos precios y ambiente inmejorable. Fuimos a la terraza en una noche con brisa, inolvidable!

Solo tres estrellas porque en la primera oportunidad nos atendieron de maravilla, la comida muy sabrosa el servicio excelente, esa noche la experiencia fue unica!
Lamentablemente en la segunda pedi mi dinero y nos fuimos del lugar… nos sirvieron la comida fria, los tragos estaban pesimos! Todo fue porque la cocina queria cerrar y sacaron nuestros platos antes de tiempo, la chica muy servicial intento ayudar pero no fue mucho lo que pudo hacer…

Amamos este lugar!
El ambiente es romántico y moderno, nos encantó la comida. La carta de postres es una torre Eiffel (MUY ORIGINALES)
El Merlot de la casa es delicioso! Volveremos

Best hamburger I have ever had. Lovely ambience and the waitstaff is cordial and professional. Hannah was adorable and very attentive. After our meal, Caesar was engaging and curious for our opinions. It’s a little pricy, but well worth it.

Been to Miami many times before but never been to this side of town. A good friend recommended me this place and decided to give it a try. So glad we did, the food was excellent. I ordered the tuna tataki as my appetizer and the baby back ribs for entrée. Loved the ribs… they were finger linking good! Our waiter Michael was great, all the recommended dishes were delicious! He was awesome! Would definitely come back again when I’m in town next.

First time here, the food is excellent recommended by the captain here named Michael. He’s super warm and friendly and we enjoyed every part of it so so much! We will definitely come back! Loved the corn bread!

I was here last year with some business partners. I returned for a business conference. So, I suggested Dolores to some business partners again. They all loved the place, food, service and atmosphere. I had the angus grilled churrasco chimi-​churri and Chorizo infused potatos it was amazing! Again, everything was amazing! My server Michael was great!

Good service and very nice employees but
Food wise … Not good quality and not a good presentation.
Good for cocktails and nightlife

Amazing gnocchi with shrimps! Everything we tried here was DELICIOUS! The corn bread was amazing, the ambiance very chilled, the music very relaxing and enjoyable for an after work dinner.
Special mention to the service: perfect!
This is my 2^nd time here, I’ll definitely come back soon again

Came here for an early brunch with some friends, there was no wait or reservations required and we were quickly seated and given time to order. I ordered the bacon croissant with patatas (potatoe fries), the croissant was nice and cheesy which I highly enjoyed and the potatoe fries had a hint of spicy sauce on top which added flavor. Everything tasted great and we had no issues. :)

Great service. Décor was on point. It reminded of vintage downtown Chicago apartments. Churrasco medium well was tender and juicy. Potatoes with the chorizo, let’s just say drool drool and more drool. I will definitely come again

Great food, great service, great prices… but the bathroom attendant was an experience. She made using the bathroom pleasant… I know it’s an odd review. … but. It’s true. See for yourself.

I’m writing this review because after my recent visit last week for happy hour, I noticed the diamond on my engagement ring had fallen off. Immediately my friends, fiancé and I began a frantic search in the area around our table, entrance of the restaurant, and re-​traced my steps to the restroom. After my search in the restroom I was in disbelief that this had happened and I began to cry. The very kind restroom attendant, Michelle, came over to me and helped me search some more for missing diamond while reassuring me that I will find it. At that moment I knew it was long gone. As I left the restroom, Michelle told me she would sweep the restroom and if it was found she would come look for me at my table. You can imagine how emotional I was so we quickly asked our waitress for our bill. As we were preparing to leave the restaurant, Michelle headed over to our table and with a big smile handed me the diamond! I was shocked! The tears came streaming down my cheek! Michelle had done as she promised and found the diamond in the restroom stall I had previously used. I couldn’t have thanked her enough. This woman is an angel! I don’t know if anyone else would have cared enough to search for the diamond and nonetheless return it to its rightful owner. THANK YOU MICHELLE FOR MAKING OUR NIGHT!!!
If you’re ever in Dolores, stop by the women’s restroom and say hello to Michelle, she is a blessing in disguise!
We will continue to visit this place for now it holds an exciting story to be shared! This is a great place for those in search of good bites and delicious drinks for happy hour. I’ve been here a few times and each time I’ve enjoyed the music, the lively atmosphere, friendly staff, and appetizing foods and drinks.

I am giving the restaurant a three star rating because I find the food mediocre. The dinner options are nothing out of the ordinary. In addition, the food did not taste fresh.
I’ve been to the restaurant on two separate occasions. The first time I went for a friends birthday. We were a group larger than 10 and were given a set menu. I ended up ordering an Alfredo pasta dish and it was okay, nothing out of the ordinary. I left unhappy, but gave the restaurant the benefit of the doubt since we were a large party.
The second time I went for a casual Friday night dinner and I experienced the same thing again, it was an okay dinner. I ordered a chicken dish and it did not taste fresh. The dish tasted like they boiled the chicken and added a sauce in order to give it a flavor.
The food reminded me of the type served for a hotel convention or at a wedding — and no one really enjoys the food at a wedding. I got the impression that the food is sitting the kitchen waiting to be reheated once someone orders the specific dish.
Aside from the menu the ambience of the restraint is great. It’s a modern romantic place. I would definitely visit the restaurant bar, but would refrain for ordering a meal.

I love this place went for the first time for happy hour Thursday nights and loved it
Service was great and the drinks were amazing
Happy hour is until midnight and its 50% appetizers, beer and some drinks and if you buy an appetizer woman can drink champagne for $ 1

Came here a couple of times while I am around the Brickell area. Never a dull moment at Lolita. I went on Thurs and Sats before. On Thurs, its really chill there. I just got one of their signature drinks, the Passion mule which is their version of the Moscow mule but Miami style. I wish it came in a cooper mug, but it is mixed with passion juice and ginger. Super tasty nonetheless. On Saturdays, this place becomes more of a club in the main bar area. Small dance area but the music is good. It is a mix of latino music and EDM. Best of both worlds! A lot of people that come here of Cuban so they have like super dance moves while I do not but it’s nice to watch. I would definitely come here again on Sats when I want to go dancing. Just need to work on my salsa moves.

5 stars for decoration, 5 stars for location, 2.5 stars for food, and 2 stars for service. I will preface this my saying that their happy hour specials are wonderful (especially on Thursdays!) and you get a free champagne with every appetizer order during happy hour. However, their food and drink options left me underwhelmed for the area. Brickell is known for their high end restaurants, with good food & service. What keeps Dolores alive is the magnificent décor and romantic atmosphere, however, their cocktail variety and food left much to be desired. We ordered a few appetizers that were clearly frozen beforehand, and that was enough for us to decide to eat elsewhere. Also, our server was inattentive, and was upset when we asked her about our complimentary champagne.
I will come back once more and will update my review. I will give their bunch a try!

Came here for a few drinks during happy hour. Couldn’t resist ordering an appetizer, of course… Got the wings. They were rather small but I enjoyed the taste of them. Drinks were a little weak but music was good

I came here for a late afternoon lunch/​snack with my friend when we were visiting Miami. We walked into the restaurant and wanted to sit upstairs on the patio, but I believe we were told we could only sit downstairs since it wasn’t dinner time yet. We sat by the bar and ordered drinks and snacks. The bartenders told us it was happy hour for certain cocktails and some of the appetizers, which was pretty cool. There was a language barrier though, so it was sort of difficult to communicate with them. They would just point at things on the menu when we asked questions, which was fine but sometimes confusing.
Happy hour is 50% off appetizers and specialty drinks. I got the strawberry spritz (St. Germain, sugar, strawberry, prosecco) and the sweet and spicy chicken lollipops. The bartender didn’t seem to know the drinks that well. She had to take out a book to see exactly what ingredients went into my drink, and she did the same for my friend’s drink. They weren’t too busy when we went, but service was very slow. The food didn’t come out for at least 20 minutes, when all we ordered were the chicken lollipops and calamari. A bunch of the servers were speaking to each other in Spanish, and we heard the word «calamari» thrown in there a couple of times, so we could only assume they didn’t have it, but we weren’t given any updates. The calamari finally came out 10 minutes after the drinks and the lollipops, but they were just alright. I wasn’t very impressed overall.

I love the romantic atmosphere. The second you walk in you can smell romance in the air.
The restaurant itself is beautifully modern decorated with dimmed lights and candles everywhere.
The food is also amazing, very nice portioned and tasty. Every meal comes with an individual appetizer and I think that’s a pretty sweet deal. My baby back ribs where amazing, fall off the bone and perfectly sauced. My ribs came with a pair of gloves which I thought was pretty neat.
Salad was also great.
When you go ask for Miguel he was extremely informative.
Also the food came out very quickly. The presentation of the food is also extremely nice!
Save some space for dessert! The desserts here are all simply amazing. I had the one in particular where you get to decorate yourself which I thought was a pretty nice experience .
I would definitely return here. Have fun love birds :)

I had always only been to the downstairs of this establishment by the bar. So me & my gf’s decided to have a dinner date and we choose this place. I’m so glad we did. This is one of three sister restaurants and I can now say that i’ve been to all three.
Ambiance: The restaurant is located upstairs in what seems to be a renovated firehouse. It is a very romantic & intimate setting. Great for a first date type restaurant.
Food: I love that every meal includes an appetizer. We ordered a pitcher of sangria which was delicious & I ordered the croquettes as an app & the mini burgers with shoestring fries. The croquettes were some of the best I’ve ever had they literally melt in your mouth! The mini burgers were also very tasty. Also the prices are very reasonable.
Service: Our server was prompt and very friendly. No complaints!

Sit down for this one.
I recently got engaged and after asking my trusty Unilocalers for suggestions on where to celebrate with my family, I ended up hitting up Dolores, But you can Call me Lolita.
Decided to go to lunch to try the menu before setting up a 25 people dinner at one of the private rooms.
The food was good, thats not why the loose the stars. The croquettes are fabulous, the salmon is amazing and their salads are pretty good. The guava flan is extremely sweet, good to share.
This review is more about service. I contacted the restaurant for a quote and spoke to Alejandra Carvajal who provided me with the menu options and the pricing.
Everything seemed to be going fine up to then. We made an appointment to go meet her and have lunch. When we got there, she was nowhere to be found and they had no reservation for us. (I work, so my 1 hr lunch break was eaten up by waiting for a table). I don’t appreciate not being expected when I set up meetings.
I forgave and forgot and signed the contract for the dinner since the food was good and the space was beautiful.
Long story short, arrive at dinner and was meet by a different gentleman that was «handling» our event. We went thru the menu with him and confirmed the way they I wanted the plating to be done (salmon and veggies on plate, meat on the side).
Guest started arriving and they were not offered anything to drink, no soda or ice tea and no drinks menus. Had to ask twice for them from the waiter who seemed totally lost.
I was worried that they would be blasting music from the outside but the music was great, mellow and romantic, perfect for the occasion. They provide blanket for my nephew that was cold.
The food started arriving and everything was running perfectly, but I had to mention to the waiter twice to slow down or they would have us out in 45 min.
Then came the meal and surprise surprise, they plated all the meals wrong. This really got me mad, since there had been at least 4 back and forth emails confirming this. If I sign a contract, I expect to get exactly what it says.
Furthermore, the gentleman handling the event left midway thru, «because he had been there all day». And when I asked why they had done the opposite of what I had asked, he started in the middle of my dinner and my table telling me about kitchen ways. Not what I needed.
I also felt like we were pushed out of the room (I know we have an allowed time, but what if we wanted to pay extra and stay?). The bill came at the end and you can only use 8 cards, which was not an issue but important to point out.
I was also disappointed if I spend over 1k in your restaurant, I would get a thank you note or call from the sales team, yeah not even an email asking if we had a good time and the food had been ok. I guess they run a ghost team after your event is done.
The valet can’t handle a big party, they were all running around like chickens with their head cut off trying to get the cars.

The second Spanish-​American War is raging in Brickell and a few menu options are struggling to control the property on your plate. Dolores, But You Can Call Me Lolita recently launched a brunch menu that’s mobilizing to attack hunger on multiple fronts with breakfast classics and tapas.
The American side prepares Chicken & Waffles guarded by a phalanx of bacon; Steak & Eggs reinforced by homefries; and 3 takes on Eggs Benedict. The Iberian options include Béchamel & Jamón Serrano Croquettes, zingy Gazpacho and flash-​fried Tempura Churros with cinnamon ice cream. The French offer their allegiance in the form of Veuve Clicquot, Moët & Chandon Brut Impérial and Rosé by the glass. Within Brickell’s borders there’s not much competition, so lead the charge to this brunch battle.

Abierto hasta tarde… comida muy buena… Ambiente exquisito.

La parte del segundo piso es muy agradable! El vino de la casa por 14 $ no es mala opción! Buen ambiente! Mas refinado que el ambiente del primer piso !!
