   The steak special was a ribeye that was market price at $135; our fault for not asking about the price prior to ordering, however the price did not correlate with the quality of the dish AT all. So overpriced that it really painted the rest of our evening with a negative light. The service was good and my cocktails were great, but I simply cannot return to a restaurant whose prices so inaccurately represent the dishes themselves.

   Our first time at Dorothy’s. Our reservations were for 6:45 but we didn’t get seated until about 7:15. Fortunately there were seats at the bar and we ordered some wine. The place is very loud and crowded. The tables are really close together so if you’re looking for something romantic or wanting to have a private conversation it’s a no go. This all being said, the food is delicious! We ordered several different small plates to share and to try a variety of dishes and they were all excellent. The wine, while pricey was also excellent! We will definitely return.

   We were seated promptly and the food & drinks were, of course, delicious! But truly, the stand-out wow factor of the whole experience was being served by Chelsea. Her food and drink recommendations were spot on and her vibrant personality and infectious energy really elevated our anniversary dinner experience. 5 stars just for her! Now, for the food, me and my wife loved the salty and rich flavor of the Szechuan noodles (combined with the sausage skewers). I had the ramen and honestly wish I could bottle the broth and keep it at home. We both had mocktails, with a slight favor going towards the spicy and refreshing “The Neutral”. They also followed up with making a spot-on “Cucumber Collins”. Finally, we capped things off with the bread pudding and a side of ice cream. You just have to get the bread pudding. That’s all I can say.

   We had amazing service from Eta. She explained the entire menu and everything we ate was delicious, particularly the udon noodles and the caramelized bread pudding.

   Great first visit to Dorothy's! Had the Marinated Steak, Tuna Tartare, Shrimp Ceviche, and Japanese Cabbage Rolls and all were delicious. Since it was our first trip, we just decided to try several menu items. Also had the Bread Pudding with ice cream and the Chocolate Chip Cookie with ice cream. Wow! Chelsea took care of us and did great as well as all other staff we interacted with.

    Dorothy’s was fine but not worth the price. We had reservations but still had to wait for 15 minutes to be seated. Our seats were basically in the bar. It was loud and lacked the ambiance of the rest of the restaurant. Service was great, but overall it lacked.
