CODE RED- Restuarant Review - Dolce Vita

CODE RED ALERT: Dolce Vita

I apologize for the delay since my last post but I have been quite busy. This past weekend I went to a BYOB with a bunch of friends and felt obliged to share my thoughts on this horrid experience. Whenever I go to a BYOB, I am not as concerned about the food or the service, because it's a fun environment to enjoy with friends. However, this restaurant has to be one of the worst dining establishments in the tri state area. The restaurant is called Dolce Vita and is located on 181 Grand St. (Between Mulberry and Baxter) in Soho. Please continue reading if you are in the mood for a rant.

When you walk into a restaurant you expect a minimum level of service and food quality; similar to the expectation that you have for a ¼ pounder at McDonalds. At McDonald's, you are well aware that you are shoving a mouth load of crap into your mouth so you really can't be disappointed.

At Dolce Vita, my expectations were not high at all, but as the night went on, the service and food got progressively worse. The wait staff could tell our party was frustrated, but we didn't mind since we had never experienced such an awful dining experience. I am not going to review the food, the menu, the atmosphere or give a rating scale, as Dolce Vita is not worth the effort. It's also a waste of my time because I know you will never dine there after reading this review. As an aspiring food critic, I feel obligated to share the best and WORST restaurants that I come across in my travels, so rest assured there will be more to come.
