DOSALAS is so good. We went with some friends & all shared appetizers and the tomahawk steak. We ordered the corn salsa, ceviche, ahi tuna tostadas & then the tomahawk steak as our main course. Kevin was our waiter and he was fantastic; he was attentive, friendly, and patient as we had a few questions regarding flavors on the margarita flight. Overall, wonderful dinner experience; you can never go wrong with visiting DOSALAS. read more

Stopped in for Happy Hour on a Tuesday around 4pm. I made a reservation through Open Table because they can get pretty busy during summer months on the waterfront. There is street parking available through Parking Kitty, and a parking garage as well. Parking is $3/hr. It's best to download the Parking Kitty app for street parking because 9/10 times the kiosks are out of order. Plus when you have the app you can add more time without having to go back out to the kiosk. We were greeted and seated as soon as we walked in. We were seated at a window booth as requested in the reservation. We both ended up ordering the chicken quesadilla off the Happy Hour menu. It was delicious! My friend ordered a lemon drop and enjoyed it. Overall a nice experience; however, I was a bit disappointed because I stated in my reservation we were celebrating a birthday, but there was absolutely no acknowledgement. I was going to go remind someone, but my friend hinted she wanted to go across the street to Salt and Straw for dessert, so I skipped it. I'd still recommend this restaurant, but hope they pay more attention to details when special occasion reservations are made. read more

Dosalas is our new favorite happy hour spot! Coming up the stairs (there is an elevator too) you are welcomed into a massive space with gorgeous views of the river. We got a table on the covered patio. Adrian our server did an amazing job taking care of us. I started with the classic margarita and it was delicious! Smooth and flavorful. Next we tried the chunky guac and the Mexican street corn. The guac was really good, the onions and tomatoes brought the flavor to a great spot. The street corn was exquisite! The cheese level was spot on! We tried both the happy hour tacos and you can't go wrong with either. The shrimp tacos had a tasty tempura batter and the carne asada tacos were full of perfectly cooked little medallions. All the toppings were fresh and crisp. Everything was amazing. We can't wait to get back! Great location, great service, great food! Definitely try this happy hour out too!!! read more

This place is definitely your jam if you have money to burn!! This is the place you take someone you really want to impress, if that someone is a vapid influencer. These guys are VERY precious about everything. Their idea of posole is a bowl of chicken, radishes, hominy and avocado that they pour a little broth on "tableside". Hot tip guys, I'm not here for the show, I'm here for the food. But hey, if it works on everyone else, more power to you. Drinks were on point. Posole tasted good, I just could have done without all the highfalutin' deconstruction. Will not be coming back and will actively avoid anyone who thinks this place is cool. read more

Dosalas is an upscale restaurant with a Latin-inspired menu. The space is designed with more flashy, luxurious decor and has a lively atmosphere. I would recommend getting a reservation for dinner, especially if you are wanting to sit on the covered and heated patio with a view of the waterfront. We were seated right at our reservation time and our server was very friendly. We came during happy hour and started with the classic margaritas. The margs were well-balanced and were a standard drink size, which is appreciated for a happy hour deal. The happy hour steak nachos are some of my favorite nachos I've ever had. The Serrano queso was life-changingly good with the heat from the Serrano chili. I also loved the Peruvian spiced chips, which had the perfect crisp and added a punch of tangy, spicy flavor. The shrimp tacos were great and I loved the fresh crema they came with. The short rip sopes were tender, juicy, and pilled high with meat and the same crema as the tacos. read more

Had an absolutely wonderful dining experience at DOSALAS. The atmosphere was fantastic, with a great menu and beautifully presented drinks that really elevated the experience.What truly made the visit stand out, however, was Christian. His customer service was exceptional attentive, welcoming, and highly communicative without ever being overbearing. He made everything feel seamless and elevated the entire evening. Christian is the kind of professional who genuinely enhances a restaurant experience, and his presence alone is worth the visit. We didn't already have a job at hire for my restaurant across the river. read more

Food is mediocre and very expensive. I have yet to meet a Foodie that feels otherwise. Same owners as Margarita factory. You can tell after the first bite. Presentation 10/10 Food 3/10 I don't think wildfin and twigs are all that special, but compared to Dosalas they are VERY GOOD! Avoid, read more

Upscale Latin without breaking the bank. I went during happy hour. The food was fresh and came out quickly. A necessary stop if you're looking for dining on the waterfront read more

So our monthly Foodie Folx group chose Dosalas for the month of May. We had high expectation but a disappointing experience. First of all if you have not visited the Vancouver Waterfront, put it on your list. It is an amazing area. Dosalas is one of the high end restaurants on the Waterfront. We sat up in the Patio Bar, overlooking the Columbia River. Fantastic view. I started off with the Dosalas Margarita, which was very good. First and foremost the food was excellent. I had the CHIMICHURRI PORK CHOP, which was excellent. There were six of this eventing and we all commented on how good the food was. The service did not match the food, or the price for that matter. Attention to detail and our experience was not a priority. We had mentioned that today was a Birthday for one us. That went unanswered, disappointing. A 20% gratuity was added to all of our tabs. This was not a 20% experience. I will also add the menus were old and probably needed to be replaced. We were glad we tried it. It might be awhile before we comeback. read more

We spent about $300 here wanting to try a bunch of small plates and it genuinely tasted worse than an Applebees. The ribeye was sooooo fatty there was barely any meat. The Brazilian cheese bread was not authentic Brazilian cheese bread. More like garlic bread balls. I ordered their top shelf Cabernet and it was very clearly watered down. We had a few shots that were also very clearly watered down and not full shots. The view was nice but I would never spend money here again. We left without finishing any of our food and went to another restaurant. Pretty scammy place. read more

We skipped full entrées and ordered small plates instead: empanadas, street corn, and cheese bread. The empanadas served with a cilantro crema came out first and they were incredible. Crispy, flavorful, and easily my favorite thing we ordered. Then the Mexican Street Corn arrived. My friend tried it first and was blown away. I was skeptical because it is just corn, but that corn was slamming. Perfectly grilled, buttery, with a hint of lime, fresh with a slight crunch, and served with tortilla chips for scooping. It absolutely hit. The drinks were a whole experience. I ordered Tiffany & Co which was a cocout rum, blue curacao, fresh lime, blanc de bleu cuvee mousseux with a pineapple foam and a pina cola shooter. It came out in a Tiffany-style box with beautiful presentation. It was blue, creamy, slightly sweet, almost piña colada vibes, and exactly what I wanted. My friend ordered the mimosa flight. Warning that these are not small pours. They are full glasses. Stunning presentation, but definitely share if you are not a really big drinker. They forgot the cheese bread at first, and when it finally came out, it just did not compare to the other dishes. We mentioned it, and they graciously let us return it. Instead, we ordered another round of empanadas, which was absolutely the right decision. We went around 11 and it was quiet, but by the time we left the place was packed. Great service, fun atmosphere, and memorable presentation. We will absolutely be back. I think we found a new favorite spot. read more

Good food and drinks. Not a great tequila selection but the friendly staff and food make up for it. Also, a great view and overall vibe.

We went back after speaking with the manager, and they absolutely made it right. Every concern from our previous visit was addressed, and the difference was noticeable immediately. It really shows how much impact proper training and attentive service can make. This time, the service and food experience were both 5‑stars. A big thank‑you to David and Kevin for delivering top‑notch customer service and turning the experience around. read more

Was (unsuccessfully)trying to find a place to eat on the waterfront and walked in here. The very nice hostess told me they'd be able to seat my party, and we headed upstairs. Very cool place inside. Nice views, comfortable seating. Pathway between the tables is really narrow, but you gotta fit seating where you can. Service was awesome. We had a guy named Roger who took great care of us. Drinks were very good. Incredible value on the food. We shared the paella between 3 adults and one kid, and still had leftovers. They also do a couple really cool tableside dishes (tomahawk, fettuccine made in a cheese wheel, etc) that I wanna try when I come back. Really awesome place, happy we ended up here. read more

I had really high hopes as they put so much into decorating. The fireplace, bar and outdoor patio are gorgeous! When you walk in at first downstairs it's confusing if we were supposed to wait for someone but another customer told us to just go upstairs because nobody was coming down to get people. But there are cute swings for your photo op. We decide to sit outside. By the "window" (there is no window it's open air) was really cold. We moved to the other side and it was really hot. I guess I felt like Goldilocks I think the long fire table may have been perfect but I didn't want to move again. The guacamole and roasted corn were huge portions. We also had the nachos. Everything was very good I'd get the guacamole probably every time. It was very good just the avocados were not ripe. My friend ordered a coffee she said it was great too. The bad... the service was HORRIBLE! And not because she was mean or rude, she was very sweet. She was just never there. As other people left we watched them frustrated as they never came to collect the bill or dirty plates. We had to waive through the glass to , get utensils & plates, refills, the bill and to pay the bill. At this point we were the last ones there so there was no excuse to be completely ignored. Saving grace that will make me try this place again, besides the guacamole was a bartender named Adrain. He had just come on shift. He sat some people near us, picked up dirty dishes that had been there about 2 hours. Stopped to check on us and we told him about our experience. He was so nice, he listened to us and warmly invited us back again. Thank you, Adrian! All of this was happening while the "manager" was sitting at a table on the other side of the glass eating and working. He was oblivious to the poor service and the dirty dishes left on several of the tables. read more

Loved the ambiance, decor, outside views from the patio. We walked-in, no reservations on a Sunday evening. Service was great and the staff was attentive. We sat in the patio looking at the amazing sunset. It was chilly by the windows; and decided to move closer to the gas fireplace ...that thing makes the place close by HOT! We ordered a Mango Rumba which was disappointing - felt watered down. Sabrina was gracious to make another one...but still there was something missing in the drink. I think for $19, we should have gotten a better drink. For food, we ordered the $30 Clams & Mussels which were seasoned well with a good potion. Overall, great place for a date, gathering, and for views. read more

I love this restaurant. It's probably the nicest, most aesthetic (while also being good) restaurant we have in the Oregon/ Vancouver area besides Departure. Good for celebrations. Stunning decor, very maximalist. Lots of good photos ops, but also good (and pretty) food and drink. Nice that it's on the waterfront if you want to sit on the patio for the water views. read more

Atmosphere- modern and creative decor that changes throughout the restaurant. A majority of the seating is indoors, but an outdoor patio is available with heaters during the colder temps. Food- Always flavorful, on point, and presented with flair and creativity. Drinks- oh my word! Tasty, and also presented in very creative ways. It's absolutely worth the wait to sit with a view of the water. The service is amazing. Everyone is friendly and helpful! read more

Good if you're an influencer. Not ideal if you just want to enjoy a meal. We had the flaming pasta. It was tasty but I'm not sure of the price. It was a little awkward because they really push the whole internet thing and can enjoy an experience without recording it but we got a weird vibe from the staff when we didn't want to but went Along with it anyway. Nonetheless the staff was attentive and provided good service. Lots of vegetarian options and a beautiful area along the water front read more

Great spot for an anniversary, birthday, or girls night out. Service was great, our server checked in on us frequently. Portions are huge and drinks are so yummy. The mango rhumba is my go to drink. It's fruity and has a little spice. Tried the beef rib this time and it did not disappoint. The beef was tender and the sides complimented it perfectly. read more

Brunch was very flavorful, just enough spiciness. Arugula is underrated in breakfast foods...just saying. Coffee with infused tequila is the bomb! The mimosa flight is a must! Be prepared to be dazzled with literal glitter! Service was excellent. Checked in and refilled coffee when needed and requested! This is a swanky place. I feel like there should be a live DJ here 24/7. See photos. read more

I was a little on the fence about going due to the ratings in yelp, but gave it a try. I got the corn and it was very yummy along with the vodka pasta with chicken which was always tasty.

My husband and I drove over from Oregon and walked the waterfront. We happened upon this restaurant and it was very intriguing for a Sunday brunch.

I highly recommend! read more

Olga was our waitress, she was amazing! Love her! Payton did our pasta show. He was amazing also. Love! Will definitely be back .

Drinks were okay, food was mediocre at best. It is a cool place to go just to say you have been. But seriously, who serves dry clams and mussels, and rice that is dry and crispy on the top? We're not ones for fine dining, so I suppose we expected more. Service was good, although for fine dining it wasn't what one would expect. Worth the try if you are in the area, I would not recommend going out of your way. read more

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. read more
