Dolce Vita Bistro

Service nice but incomplete. Some food really good like the burger and veggie burger but other food like the potato soup was not good at all. The fruit was good. The patio atmosphere was very nice. Bland overall experience.

I went to lunch with family on Sunday. It didn’t not seem busy at that time. We waited probably 20 minutes for outdoor seating when we could see there were plenty tables available. In the end, we walked up the patio ourselves and finally got seated. There was no effort put into preparing the table. We had to separate the party to two tables.
We ordered coffee but the waiter did not bring creamer or sugar.
We ordered from the lunch menu.
Sandwiches, soups and salads. It took quite a long while for our food to arrive and when it did, not everything was included.
A staff member commented to the person who did not get his order: so you are not dinning with us today?
After reminding the staff of the order, the person did receive his half tuna sandwich and soup, 10 minutes later than the other person on the table that ordered the same thing.
The cutlery came only after the food was
served and after being requested. At that time, it has been way over an hour since we arrived the premise.
Of course, one of us had to go inside to get ketchup because what other option do we have??? We were given ketchup packets. Hey what are you expecting. Bottles? Haha you are funny.
In conclusion, I may go back here one day if I just finished my previous meal, AND I am not trying to get anywhere in the next 3 hours, AND I am craving for black coffee only, AND I am happy to eat with my hands, AND I stop using ketchup on fries.
Btw, they don’t accept Discover credit card.

Dolce Vita Bistro has made some changes here for the good. Lots of fresh veggies, fruit and utilization of local seafood and meats. Not to mention their desserts are out of this world! Oh and they also have a nice wine and beer selection for those of you who indulge. :-)
The secret is out… If you come on a Friday they serve fresh pizza at lunch time. It’s quite good!

Food not the greatest. Sunday brunch is the best. I like the décor and seating. The wait staff are not too bad. They are not allowed to accept tips but, you can sneak the a tip no problem. I go quite frequently easy to get to.

Odd cafeteria in an assisted living facility. Food was bland and below average and the servers were inattentive and very slow. The only reason I would ever go here again is if I was visiting a resident.

Pretty good food here and nice to sit outside on the patio. This place is connected to the retirement home so a lot of customers are from there. Great food and nice service makes it a welcome place for our community. Really like it here and give it five strong stars.

I suppose when you have a captive audience from an adjacent retirement community, customer service isn’t a priority. Inattentive wait staff; not helpful to say the least. The gal at the front counter seemed annoyed at our presence. Food: average to mediocre.

This restaurant definitely caters to the older clientele. I ordered the caeser salad, cup of mushroom soup and asked for bread. What I got was a small plate with a large piece of anchovy on top (not mixed into the dressing), a tiny cup of flavorless mushroom soup which looked like the mushrooms had gone through a blender, and one roll.
My boyfriend ordered the burger, which was rather flavorful from the one bite I had — good bun.
There is no way to leave a tip on the check as the majority of the diners are residents of Mirabella who use a credit based system to pay for their checks. I would recommend bringing some cash with you if you want to leave a tip.
Like the previous low rating mentioned, there were multiple servers who assisted during our dining experience. I don’t recall being asked if we wanted anything other than water after our glasses were filled, nor were we asked if we wanted dessert. I honestly don’t even recall whether or not there was a dessert portion of the menu.
The menu is slow, the food is bland and the service is lack luster. However, given the lack of restaurant choices in the area, we may give it one more chance.

This is going to be a short and to the point review — my experience with this place was the following:
Food: I found the food to be terrible. Ordered a basic chicken with some sort of pesto noodles dish. It was oily and remarkably flavor free.
Service: Terrible. Even worse than the food. I think we had two or three different servers. Not once did they offer to refill our drinks. Other servers just standing around chatting with customers.
Atmosphere: Kind of like an upscale Denny’s.
Will I return? Absolutely not.

I like this place too and it is only one block walk from the OHSU tram base station. Interior is spacious and tasteful. Very clean,
Menu limited — burgers, sandwiches, pasta, some seafood. Don’t miss the house made potato chips. Food tastes fresh and freshly prepared.
Prices very moderate.
