    They said they didn’t have my reservation even though I confirmed via email, text and PHONE with someone the day before. I even had the text on my phone and the hostess didn’t seem to care. They put us in an area where a party would be coming in and we had to leave by a certain time. Then they were serving brunch still until 4pm. So we had to wait until 4 to order for dinner (not the end of the world). We verbally placed our appetizers and entrees and she would put it in once it turned 4pm. It was 45mins and our apps never came out. A sweetheart of a waitress (that wasn’t ours) checked on us to see if we ever got out appetizers, and we didn’t. We then got our entrees before the appetizers and a cold Mac n cheese. The manager came over and also didn’t seem to care too much. But then they sent out the apps, and took those off the bill. But of Course they took the things we didn’t even really eat off the bill. Was really surprised by the whole experience.

    The staff was very nice. We were sat and it was around 415. It wasn’t busy and we felt we waited long for drinks. Not sure why. Food came out fast and it was good.

    Food and drinks were great. They were out of a couple things but not a big deal. Our server Ashley was excellent.

    We absolutely loved Dolly Varden! Food was so delicious and we got the bottomless mimosas which were so good! The staff was incredibly friendly and kind and were so personable. They were so efficient and quick to attend to us whenever we needed anything (especially a drink refill). I HIGHLY recommend eating here.

    Online menu was inaccurate. Server dropped our food and didn’t come back for 20+ minutes. Flatbread was undercooked but no chance to speak up because the server disappeared. Then hovered over us while we paid, looking for a tip. Would go elsewhere.

    The food here was incredible and the drinks were delicious. Our service was excellent and made sure to ask us if we were going to a show after so that we would make it in time.
