Was here over night on business and the manager Ryan was AMAZING!! He was accommodating when the server wanted to argue with me about a price. She was very condescending from the time she came to our table to take our order. I feel as if she may have been overwhelmed but there is never an excuse for just bad customer service! BUT THANKFULLY Ryan saved the experience.. He was awesome. Would live to give 5 stars but the waitress/bartender was horrible. read more

DOSALAS - Caipirinha was amazing.... ask for little ice though - Latin American Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

I can't say enough about this restaurant. Dosala's was amazing from beginning to end. The hostess who checked us in was so kind and professional. She made my husband and I feel welcomed. We were promptly seated on a Friday night, and drink orders were taken immediately . Our House Margaritas were amazing. I ordered steak and my husband got ribs. We ate everything. Brooke and Haley , our servers, were everything. They were very attentive, sweet, and beautiful, their smiles were perfect, We let them know that we were celebrating our 43rd anniversary and she offered desert. Thank you Dodala's for making our night so special. read more

DOSALAS - Latin American Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Have come here several times over the last couple years to try and find the appeal. Finally decided to give my opinion. The place is nice inside for sure, from the dining to the bar to the patio. It's definitely a place to dress up and be seen. I've sat in all 3 locations (restaurant/bar/patio) and had the best service at the bar. One patio visit, on a dead night in December, the service was horrible. I had a salad that came out when you'd bring an app and we then waited 30 min for my date's food even after inquiring after a 20 min wait. Anyway, I can't recall all the dishes I've had there, but the ones I recall: Harvest Salad - it was ok, not exceptional Baked Queso- I didn't care for this. It was very strong/sharp and blah. Yes, I know it's cheese, one being sharp cheddar but it was just that, no mix of other flavors at all and I don't know where the chili flake flavor was...it was missing. Tempura cauliflower- THIS was delicious. Nice sized pieces done well and they went divinely with the chipotle aioli. All in all, if friends want to keep going back, I will go but I never suggest it. read more

I'm giving this review 2 stars because at least our pear basil cocktail was delicious. My sister and I came for dinner last night and wanted to try one of the shareable meals and ordered the Sofrito Seafood Scampi. It was underwhelming to say the least. First let me start with the baby scallops that were advertised as COLOSSAL, not the case. Secondly, the grilled lobsters were underdone and unable to release from the shells without having to manhandle them. Not good. Third, the shrimp tasted like something the Chef ran down to Albertsons and picked up on sale. Awful for the 99.00 menu price. I won't even mention the almost raw cauliflower that did not belong in this dish, it added nothing! Finally the "soft breadstick" sliced in half was advertised as a Herb Crusted Baguette. I felt like it was an Olive Garden breadstick, which you'd never catch me eating. This place is so beautiful and feel this is more for a great craft cocktail and some appetizers since those were actually yummy. read more

Dosalas is nestled within a row of upscale dining destinations that sit alongside an incredible waterfront area complete with a paved walkway. In addition to gorgeous water views, there are photo-worthy spots at every turn, including an oversized angel wing sculpture installed on the wall upstairs, a beautiful arched bar area, neon signage in the bathroom and more. The restaurant has an upscale vibe and patrons definitely dress to impress. The cocktail list is incredible - from tequila-based drinks that come in a smoke-filled box to champagne flutes mixed table-side that result in a libation that literally sparkles thanks to edible glitter, you'll want to try them all. Our favorites were the Purple Rain and Coco Chanel cocktails. We also opted for a variety of appetizers and were "oohing" and "awing" at all of the delicious flavors. Do yourself a favor and try them all...we went with rib meat empanadas, baked provolone, Mexican street corn and Brazilian cheese bread. We'll be back to eat and drink our way through the rest of the menu soon enough. Pro tips: Definitely make a reservation and if you're driving back to Portland later at night, check on roadwork. We were re-routed several times and ended up having to take a detour that added nearly 30 minutes to our commute. No biggie, just plan ahead and double check the road conditions ahead of time. read more

Did we have dinner in Vancouver or Vegas last night?!? Wow. A treat for all the senses! Visually stunning restaurant, drinks, food and that view....magic. Born and raised here, I'm so so proud to see people embrace this city and bring to it their beautiful culture, culinary traditions and vision for what is possible in Vancouver. Our experience at Dosalas was flawless. Because it was our first time and there were six in our party, we relied on our excellent server to choose a variety of dishes to share and we ordered more as we went. Everything came to the table quickly. It was all so fresh and flavorful. I'd list what we had but we really sampled most of it! The ceviche and tuna stands our for me. So good! We will be back many times! read more

Olga!! Thank you so much for your fun and awesome service tonight during our girls night! :) Loved all the chats and laughs! (It's not letting me leaving my review in Russian buuut... bolshoe spacibo! ) read more

The food is underwhelming. I had the chicken which tasted like it came from Costco. Service is rude. The waiter dropped off the check when we didn't hurry up ordering the main course. Save your money read more

I was so impressed by every aspect of this restaurant! The service, food, interior design and everything else was all fantastic! The paella was absolutely amazing as well as the appetizers. Everything comes out as it's made and it feels more family style but very high end. Definitely one of the best, if not the best, upscale restaurants in Vancouver. Highly highly recommend! read more

Amazing service. Our server Olga went above and beyond to makes us feel just at home. The view of the Colombia is excellent. Even with music in the background it was easy to hear each other at our table. Mocktails were excellent as well. For appetizers we ordered Queso, Empanadas & the Guacamole. Entries Paella that fed about 4 people but the best was the Octopus. Place is a bit pricey, but overall it was a great experience. We'll be back! read more

This place is fantastic with absolutely amazing food and drinks. The views of the river are spectacular as well. It is a tapas style place so be prepared to share and you can also buy drinks for sharing read more

Wow wow wow!! This place blew away our expansion!! The food was amazing!! The drinks were on point! (Try the coco Chanel) the service was spectacular. Our sweet server Savanna was so sweet and the chief Ryan came to our table and apologized for some food that was coming late! REALLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE :) read more

I came here with high hopes since I had seen reviews about the paella. The paella was terrible...It was not cooked to order. It tasted like the seafood and rice had been cooked hours prior to being served. The dessert was mediocre at best. The decor is beautiful and the Coco Chanel drink was very good. Overall, I'd rather drive into Portland to have paella that's fresh for the same price. read more

We had a wonderful birthday dinner here tonight. Definitely a special occasion place. The location and views were stunning.

First, let me say that we had a great experience. The food was very good, the decor (although not my vibe) is extravagant and certainly has an appeal. The cocktails also great. I would describe this as the Latin version of Departure, with small but thoughtful portions, elevated drinks, and an "experience". Try the street corn! I've read many of the 1-3 star reviews here, and let me tell you, IGNORE THEM ALL. Aside from these reviewers being the kind of people who rate almost everything negatively, most all of the negative feedback centers on the "way too high" price. These very same folks must also consider the other three waterfront restaurants (Barlow, Wild Fin, or Twigs) as overpriced too, because they are in the same range. The difference is, those three are carbon copies of each other with good but indistinguishable dishes you can get almost anywhere in town. Dosalas does what those don't, separate themselves as the destination for Latin cuisine AND a dining experience. You pay more for that because you can't get that elsewhere in Vancouver. The truth is, the market decides what food and experience is "worth and so far, Dosalas is off to a rockin' start, everyone i know LOVES that place. Pro tip: If you think it's too expensive you aren't their target audience, graciously bow out and don't complain. PS: Dosalas, thanks for the great experience, we'll be in again soon! read more

It was a great experience, this place is ideal for a fancy occasion with friends, prices are a little high but worth it because of the location and the amazing service, food was delicious and came out shortly. read more

Officially my favorite restaurant on the waterfront! Dress like you believe in yourself and go with one pinky in the air definitely try their class Azul after dinner, and I'm always curious to see what's new on the menu as it tantalizes my taste buds in the most unique way! Thanks for bringing High and dining to Vancouver! The atmosphere makes me feel like a rockstar, and the view is incredible. Your staff caring and totally focused on their guests!!! I'm in love read more

We celebrated my mother in laws 80 birthday weekend with a final brunch at Dosalas on October 17. We had a party of 12. The restaurant is beautiful our server Angalic was top notch, food has good flavor. That's where it ends for the positives. The restaurant was 20% full. They had three or four bartenders on staff. Drinks were delivered after the food was delivered and in some cases barely before we asked for the bill. Food - although good was overpriced, drinks, way overpriced. There was 30-40 minutes in between when the first person in our party received there food to the last. When we received the bill nothing was comped. Our server was amazing, but if the bar and the back of the house don't get their act together this place will fail. Over priced and crappy execution from the back. Thank god they are smart enough to higher great servers. Bloody Mary's, need a warning, they taste like crap if your expecting a Bloody Mary read more

First of all it shouldn't take 45 minutes to get you drinks, seems like lots of excuses on why it takes so so long. Maybe you need better mixologist, and when the server says he needs to watch sobriety well in that case maybe you guys should be more of an alcohol monitoring position. Primeramente las bebidas no deben de tomar 45 minutos para llegar a la mesa, tan bien muchas desocúpalas por algo que debe ser más fácil. De menos deben de tener dos bebidas antes de las comida. Bebidas es la ganancia. Si tienen un lugar muy Lujoso pero el servicio hace falta servicio y menos disculpas. read more

I've been here twice. I was trying to decide if I should give 2 or 3 stars, decided on 3 because of the atmosphere and location on the river. Also, it's a newer business and I really hope they succeed. The outdoor dining was very nice. It is a bit overpriced for the flavor quality and serving sizes. I ordered the PERUVIAN QUINOA dish, and it was missing the almonds, and had no flavor, in fact a slight soapy taste is the only way I can describe it. I also got the TEMPURA CAULIFLOWER, which was also lacking in flavor and about half the pieces were slightly overcooked. My husband got the TUNA TOSTADAS, and the fish tacos, and he really liked both. The cheese bread is excellent, but kind of expensive for only 3 small pieces. If you care more about the atmosphere than the food quality then this place is great! Just be prepared to pay for it. read more

The Portland/Vancouver lacks restaurants with the ambiance this restaurant has. If you're coming here you are coming/paying for the experience. You can tell everything here was made to not only to impress you, but to share on social media, down to their cocktail ice cubes. Other than the view and the delicately placed details, their food is amazing. By far the best octopus I've ever had. Even my fiancé who dislikes seafood loved every dish that had seafood in it. Know that most dishes are meant to be shared. We enjoyed the Tom A Hawk Steak and had to take home more than half but we would get it again in a heart beat. If you want a special date night out or want to enjoy a beautiful evening on the river I recommend this place. Be sure to book reservations in advance! read more

$45 salmon and you try to trick us with a hidden 2% fee added at the end of the bill? Ill make sure no one I know is ever scammed by you.

Extremely disappointed tonight after visiting. Our waitress did not come to us the whole night we were there, I couldn't even order a drink** We had to ask another waiter whom brought us our food to take our plates away, and even get us more water. It made me very sad, especially seeing the other people around me get better treatment and having their waitresses wait on them. After an hour I had to flag her down to take our food away (and we were done eating for an hour) and get our bill. I didn't even want to give her a tip at the end of the night. Extremely disappointing, won't return after tonight. read more

True Miami vibe! We have fell in love from the time we stepped in. The ambiance, staff, service and menu is incredibly different for the area.

My friends from California came to visit me in Portland and one of them were celebrating her birthday so I recommend to have a celebration dinner at Dosalas because I'm a regular at the restaurant and I always bring family and friends whenever we want a fancy dinner/night out or to celebrate a special occasion at Vancouver Waterfront cause the place is beautiful. I take pride on bringing the best experience to my out of town family and friends whenever they visit me so I bring them to Dosalas and they are always impressed by the exceptional service, ambiance, drink selection and scrumptious food at this restaurant. Dosalas is an absolute fun dining experience, from the moment you step inside the front door you are welcomed by a friendly host, on the left side of the entrance is the elevator and on the right side was a cute corner with two swings and a sofa that's great for photo op or what my friends call Instagramable if that's a word, next to that area was the grand staircase with beautiful chandeliers hanging on the high ceiling of that staircase leading to the dining area. The restaurant decor are meticulously made to be beautiful in every corner it was a treat for the eyes and you can't resist taking pictures or asking one of the staff to take yours and they will happily take your picture. The dining area have a wrapped around window that showcase epic view of the Columbia River and if you're lucky to be there at sunset the view is breathtaking and romantic if you are seated at the balcony with it's firepit inside a glass table centerpiece that will keep you warm when the sun sets. The service is impeccable, they will also remember you if you've been there multiple times cause I was greeted by David the GM of the restaurant at our table with "Welcome back, we're happy to see you again." and I always felt like a VIP. We mentioned to our server that we are celebrating our friend's birthday and at the end of our dinner the birthday celebrant was surprised by celebratory icecream with sparklers, it was absolutely wonderful of them and a nice touch to make my friend's birthday extra special. Thank you Dosalas for the wonderful evening, we had an amazing experience. My friends are so impressed and they said that next time they visit me they want to go back to Dosalas. I highly recommend this restaurant! The service, ambiance, food and drink are extraordinary. read more

I like the food very much, but I like spice. My husband did not have a lot of choices since he is sensitive to spice. I thought the food was delicious and the server was very friendly. The mango margarita was absolutely delicious and fresh. They have a wonderful business model with great food, great location and a great view. I have rid of the reviews that say the service is slow. It's such a shame, because if they got their act together on the service side, they would have a five star review. Here's the problem, there was virtually no one in the restaurant, when we arrived at 2 o'clock in the afternoon on a Tuesday. The service was incredibly slow. What our server was doing I have no idea, but he was not servicing us. I had to ask the manager twice for the server to come over. read more

Great service! Nancy made us feel at home. Definitely coming back. Food and drinks were great!
