Dolce

This place is a night club and during the day it's a restaurant. - I am reviewing the restaurant.

I work around the corner from this place and it's one of the only nicer sit-down areas in Downtown Elizabeth (which doesn't say too much). The club portion is in the back and the eating area is up front.  

It's never crowded when I go in there, which is a plus, but the speed of service at times makes you think otherwise. The food is OK nothing out of this world.  I think there pizza/flatbread things are probably the best.

I have a feeling this place functions better as a night club than it does a place to eat.

Gosh I am struggling.  I don't know where to begin on what I can only suspect will be a general rant...

It's a nice place.  It has a little tiki area outdoors for smokers, with a small outdoor bar and heated lamps in bad weather.  They do their best to keep the crowd as "classy as possible" by strictly enforcing a dress code".  But it is still on Broad St in E-town and it is ghetto.  Born and raised here I guess I am one of the few people that wished we had some more neighborhood dives for people that don't want to get fancy just to have a drink.  E-town is full of places like this.  Get dressed up to get drunk...

In addition to the strict DC, there is a 20$ cover charge.  Which automatically makes Dolce last on my list.

Decent club in e-town.  Staff is super nice. Women bouncers?!?  What!?!  Cool. VIP area smelled like man crotch though. Kinda disgusting. But very spacious club. Compared to the club scene in hobo I'd choose this any day. Nothing more to say.
