Dolly Varden

Dolly's Hideaway on the lower level of Dolly Varden is a luscious speakeasy with heavenly bar food and out of this world cocktails in an exceptionally cozy and attentive environment - not to be missed! We stumbled upon this gem before our Broadway show and was so enamored with the food, drinks and service that we returned post-show for an encore! We had the Disco Tots, Crispy Cauliflower and The Goat and Mushroom Flatbread. The portions were generous for bar snacks and the the flavors were spot-on. The Disco Tots were accented with spicy peppers, the cauliflower had the most delicious freshly prepared hummus artistically drizzled around the plate, and the flatbread was noticeably fresh out of the oven. Wow. Kudos to the chef!The cocktails were all exceptionally made with artistic prowess, making the experience even more enjoyable:Busy Body - cold brew with chocolate bittersNever too Matcha - vodka and matchaSecreet Gardent - gin and lavenderWooden Nickel - bourbon and ryeWhat a wonderful find - Dolly's Hideaway is not to be missed!

My husband and I came here for some drinks. We have never been here before but I heard good things. We did not go upstairs so I have no idea what it looks like but the downstairs is very small and rather tight, but I do love the decor. My husband got the 'Wooden Nickel' drink which is a house blend of bourbon and rye, demerara, orange bitters. He absolutely loved it. I got the 'Pinky Tuscadero' to drink which was vodka, strawberry, rhubarb, lemon. This wasn't my favorite drink, but it was okay. We shared the 'Dolly Cheese Board' which had gouda manchego, irish - cheddar port, seasonal fruits, honey, bacon jam, housemade flatbread and we added Salami for an additional $5. They did forget to give us the flatbread, and to be honest... we did not see it listed. Finally when they asked if we wanted more bread and we were very confused and we all realized no one got the bread. They did finally give us the bread which was very good but would have been nice to have with the whole cheese board. Overall, the service was fine. They were fairly quick, and friendly. But the food and drinks were overall just okay. I would give it a 3.5. I personally wouldn't be back but I do think it's fun to check out.

I wouldn't say DV lived up to the current rating it has on Yelp. The food was average, and the service was mediocre best.We came here for brunch before a show. We had a reservation for 10. When we came in there was nobody there. Is that right down? Our waiter came over. We ordered our food. We didn't see our waiter again until we left the restaurant. They go to the point where I had to go to the bar to ask for my check. Only then did the waiter come back.The food was average. We got the chicken and waffles and the lemon ricotta pancakes. We also got the mimosa tree. Everything was fine enough. I did really enjoy the rosemary in the chicken and waffles.The inside was clean and cute. Nothing to add there.Overall, we had a warm meal on a cold day. It was fine.

Rounded up to 4 stars.The restaurant is cozy, multiple seating areas, some separated by a few stairs.The Tequila cocktails were disappointing, tasting like they were missing an ingredient.The Short Rib Pasta was tasty, but not memorable.The service was attentive.

The place is SO CUTE! Great service as well. We went after watching drag the musical around the corner. I'd also recommend that

We did a little research and shortlisted Dolly Varden based on some other yep reviews and were extremely pleased with everything! It was a Sunday Brunch about 9:30. We sat at the bar and I highly recommend it just due to the atmosphere! We shared the Dolly Varden burrito and the Skillet along with a Bloody Mary and Mimosas! Amazing food and fantastic service!

I had such a great time here and our servers were fantastic! I don't usually get brunch but when I do, I'm always conflicted on what to get. Since I came with some friends, I was able to try the chicken and waffles from them but I had ordered the Eggs Benedict with salad, fries, and substituted the bacon with short ribs. As conflicted as I was on menu choices, I was so happy that what I got was delicious. It was so tender and juicy and full of flavors. I nibbled on a bit of the chicken and waffle and next time I return, that will be the one I get! Everyone really seemed to enjoy the food and it was such a generous portion as well. I can't wait to come back!

I stopped in here with my colleagues after work and we were not disappointed. we were seated quickly choosing an outdoor seat in their little train car dining area. I found out that the restaurant name has something to do with the train car so we should ask about the history. We all ordered different dishes. I had the elevated short rib grilled cheese. It was perfectly crisp on a thick cut toasted bread with the inside soft and gooey from cheese and tender short rib. The sandwich delivered on flavor. My colleagues were equally as satisfied with their choices, though I don't remember what they ate. Although we were seated outside, we had plenty of excellent service. We all give this restaurant two thumbs up!

I was looking for a nice spot to meet up with friends and have a conversation. Came across Dolly Varden in my feed and decided to make a reservation.When I first walked in, the downstairs bar area/restaurant was buzzing and was a bit concerned that it would be difficult to talk since the noise level was so high but they took us upstairs to sit. The ambiance was warm and welcoming and much quieter than downstairs.The service was good. We all ordered the Pinky Tuscadero for drinks and the cheese plate for an appetizer. The appetizer came out first and when the waitstaff came over to check on us to see if we needed anything that's when she realized we didn't get our drinks yet. The cheese appetizer was a bit dissappointing. Three big blocks of cheese and three little pieces of bread. There were three of us sharing so the lack of bread was really noticeable. We didn't have cheese knives to cut so it was really awkward stabbing the cheese and trying to cut it. For the main meal, my friend wanted to order a flatbread but they didn't have one of the main ingredients so she ordered the short rib grilled cheese, and I ordered the crispy cauliflower. I thought i would be getting a tempura style dish but it was basically cauliflower on top of hummus. It was ok. I think the ambiance outweighed the drinks here. With so many other places in this area, I am not sure if I would come back here.

The food was amazing, the atmosphere was great but the show stopping thing about this place was Jorge! He was the nicest and coolest server i have ever had!! He also makes the most delicious drinks ive ever had! If youre lucky enough to get him to serve you, count your blessings!
