This place has potential- nice restaurant, great views, good food BUT it is not very clean inside. There are dead bugs all over the windowsills and it just looks/feels dirty for a newer restaurant. No one wants to eat a meal with view of the water, looking at dead bugs. Unappetizing. read more

Fabulous craft cocktails, delicious entrees, great all around experience. We look forward to returning.

The restaurant setting is beautiful and, spacious, with modern decor, and the view of Columbia. The music and ambience was loud, making it difficult for our party of six to chat. This place is perfect for a special occasion with drinking and nibbling. I wouldn't recommend this place for dinner alone, if you're not drinking alcohol. The menu is limited, the portions small, and expensive. The cuisine is small bites/tapas style. The presentation of the food was lovely. The quality of the food was good, but not impressive. We got tuna, tostadas, essentially raw tuna, with special sauce, served on top of a round tortilla chip. Each order had four tostadas. The pork belly was tasty, also portion to four pieces. Paella to share, is essentially dinner portion for two people. Expect to pay double the norm for alcoholic drinks. There is a 20% automatic gratuity for parties of six or more. The service was OK, but I don't think it deserved 20%. Our total bill came to almost $700, for six small tapas, one paella and drinks. read more

My friend and I went here the day after Valentines day for lunch, and we were seated with a wonderful table with a nice view of the waterfront. We both had the hamburgers, and the addition of the thinly sliced roasted chilies were amazing! The service was polite and attentive. The cocktails were on point. I had the Coco Chanel. It was kind of like a cocktail and dessert all in one. I would definitely return the next time I'm back in Vancouver. read more

Loud not a date night place. Food is good, seafood was cooked perfectly. Spicy strawberry margarita was fantastic. Service was friendly. It was just extremely loud. Sitting side by side at the bar or at a table you can't really carry on a conversation without repeating yourself. Decor was strange white baskets for hanging lamps mixed with crystal hanging lamps and stone like arches. Not exactly sure what look they where going for but it's a hodgepodge style. All in all I would try it with friends for a fun night out but absolutely nothing for a romantic date night dinner. Actually changed to 4 stars because I think it is fantastic that a business owner reaches out. I would also like so state that my opinion on ambiance is just that my opinion. Others obviously really enjoy the atmosphere and I hope continue to enjoy their experience. I will be back during daytime hours for a lunch or some other event I just know it's not for certain situations. Again the food was fantastic and it shows the owner cares by reaching out. read more

Portland is not necessarily known for being stuffy or overly posh. Dosalas might get as close to that as one could imagine. There is a conspicuous use of CAP - Certified Attractive People in nearly every role at this restaurant. I don't mind them catering to their clientele but you should not be squeamish about lots of athletic bodies stuffed into very tight clothing. The food, the real reason we went here, was absolutely on point. The Mexican corn had enough heat to my taste (but others at our table tapped out after one serving). It had bright and authoritative flavors they felt authentically Mexican. The mushrooms were delightful in their buttery white wine sauce. The bread was a welcome accommodation as one could not abide letting all that delicious umami broth go to waste. The pão de queijo, ahem, I mean Brazilian cheese bread seemed a little superfluous but the kids at the table enjoyed them. The paella got rave reviews at our table. If I recall, the waiter said they have a dedicated paella and steak chef. It showed. The seafood was perfectly cooked, the saffron infused rice was redolent of spice without being fatiguing, and the essential crispy bottom was gloriously intact. There was naught but shells when all was said and done. Lastly and not be be outshone was the tomahawk steak. I am normally not one for such theatrics. Yes, the bone makes for more gentle cooking but there is a part of me that bristles at paying for inedible bone. Still - the steak was flawlessly cooked, seasoned properly, and lovingly disassembled table side by the chef. I would certainly go again and if you want some good Mexican, give them a try yourself. Mexican well, my friends. read more

Okay, so this place is nice, check. It's on the waterfront, check. Although overpriced- they have good drinks, check. They are great for gatherings, check. So why only 3 stars? I think it's overrated. If you're young & trying to be seen (if that's even a thing in Vancouver Washington) then maybe this Miami vibes restaurant is the place for you, but it's always loud, the service is friendly but very slow, the food is just okay, and it's overpriced. Guess someone's got to pay for that view, right? Well, enjoy! read more

First time at Dosalas for brunch and it was okay. I ordered the French toast and it was very sweet. My friend's dish was good. We both ordered the mimosa flight to share and that was terrible. Not sure why there were gold pieces in our drinks and it didn't taste good at all. Besides the drinks the food was decent. Food and drinks I'd give 4/5 but the ambiance of the restaurant I'd give 5/5. read more

Food was delicious, service was amazing. Place is very clean. But prices on food is very expensive.. we went with group and ended up paying extra $220.00 for fees that was on taxes, 2% on prices on inflation? (Seriously) Nonsense on extra fees. But otherwise everything is good, definitely not coming back. For 2 of us payed $250 not worth it. read more

Dosalas - Tuna fish are amazing - Latin American Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Yes yes yes yes! Loved this place! I just moved from San Francisco 5 months ago and had been looking for something like this for a while! Expected to be noisy! It gives Caribbean and Miami vibes! So if this isn't your jam, don't come and give it bad reviews.... If you come you will get Latin vibes! Ok onto the delicious food.... I started with margarita flights $36: passion fruit, strawberry, mango and spicy. Spicy was my favorite because it's the closest to a classic margarita. I guess I wish I liked the flavored margaritas but that was my fault. Not my favorite but they were all great! For appetizer, I chose the pork empanadas $18 and they were delicious, beef was moist and fresh, dough was fresh too and smooth. The dipping sauce complimented the empanada and the pickled onion was the cherry on top! The plate came together beautifully. For the main plate, I chose the octopus plate $45, it included tomatillo, potato bites, cauliflower and a delicious sauce I forgot what it was called BUT the plate despite the potato felt so fresh! The octopus was tender. The portion was big and I'm glad I didn't get a second appetizer. Ended the night with the chocolate cake with very rich vanilla ice cream and the cajeta was on the side. I wish it would have been drizzled because I'm the dark I missed it! The fire pit area was too dark for me too see that, oooppssss The restaurant is on the second floor of the building which makes it a perfect spot for sunset time! Make sure you make a reservation ahead of time. They have a DJ indoors Fridays and Saturdays. I can't wait to come again! read more

I made reservations to take my husband here for Father's Day. Our adult sons wouldn't be home (college and military) so I wanted to make the day special even without our kids. I had noted in my reservation that I wanted the best possible table, outdoors, and made said reservation several weeks in advance. We arrived at Dosalas and immediately were impressed with the vibes. The entry/lobby is swanky and feels upscale. We were directed upstairs, and met by an employee who took us to our table. Here is where it went downhill. We were brought to an outdoor table (which I'd requested) but it was RIGHT NEXT TO THE DOOR. This layout felt a little weird as it was, like you walk through a service area where they enter food orders and keep cleaning supplies to get outside. Not well thought out. On the other side of the glass where we were seated was a table with DIRTY RAG that was there the entire meal (see picture). After we were seated I asked if we could possibly move. There were plenty of tables open, closer to the water, with better views...and not next to a highly used door with a view of chatting employees and dirty rags. Since my reservation had been made about a month ago, I'd assumed we'd get a bit better of a spot than what essentially felt like a service corridor. I was told no, that they were all reserved for incoming reservations. I find it important to note that over the 90 minutes we were there, many of these tables remained empty. Maybe I should have mentioned to them that I'm a 4 year in a row Elite Yelper??? Just kidding. All jokes aside though, I find this super annoying. Additionally, the table/seats we were at literally jolted each and every time an employee went in and out of this door. Having 3 prior spinal surgeries, I felt each of these comings and goings in a quite uncomfortable manner. I honestly don't know WHY this table is even utilized, the location of it is simply ridiculous and MAYBE would be a good last resort on a busy night with people who would take anything! It's just terrible! Our food was good. Drinks were decent. I still maintain that our favorite hole in the wall Mexican restaurant in Vancouver makes the best margaritas. However, we DID enjoy the food. Would I return? Maybe if it was an invite for a get together and that's where the host chose to go. Would I book a date night here again? Absolutely NOT. Weeks later I'm still appalled by this TERRIBLE table we were seated at, being told it was our only option, and enduring the feeling of a date night amongst the staff work station. read more

Food and service was awesome. Company wasn't so bad either. :) Great view and easy to get to.

This is our second time here and it was amazing as usual. The vibe was chill the service this time around was amazing we had three people tending to us. The food was great but the chicken was a little bland. My only recommendation would be order an appetizer because it will be a long wait for food. And the best seat is out by the fire bar in a booth overlooking the water. We went at around 8:30pm and it was the best time to go. Highly recommended read more

Dosalas is a vibe especially if you come here on a Friday/Saturday night. We made 2 visits here recently: the first time being on a Saturday night and the second time being on a Sunday early afternoon. Such a huge difference in vibes between the two but still enjoyed each visit. The Saturday night we came, the place was packed and the music was loud and even had a DJ inside, so make sure to book reservations ahead of the time. Upon booking your reservation online, you have the option to select your preferred seating/table area. We chose to sit outside in the covered patio space and loved it. The patio overlooks the waterfront and we were able to catch the sunset as well. With the place being so packed, I was impressed with how often we were checked up on. We also came for lunch on a Sunday and it was much more relaxed and the music was low. I feel like the prices are pretty steep but I think given the space and the area, that itself plays into a factor? Not sure. My boyfriend and I shared 2 small plates, a drink for him and a margarita flight for me and the total was over $120 after tip. The chef's choice ceviche was shrimp that night and we enjoyed it but thought the included tostadas could've gone without the spices. Drinks are fun and are "IG worthy."The margarita prices on the menu seem high but we came to find out that they also give you the shaker with the remainder of your drink so you end up with about ~3 drinks total. If you're getting the margarita flight, make sure to give it a quick stir. I was wondering why my drinks tasted like there was no tequila but it turns out it was all sitting at the bottom. My boyfriend ordered the Vintage Fashion that came out in an applewood smoke box. There's two huge parking lots (will need to pay) but those fill up easy so you might want to factor in time to find parking as there our other eateries and breweries in the area. Don't forget to take a stroll along the waterfront park after! read more

Dosalas is lovely. The views, decor, food, drinks, and overall ambiance are unmatched. Each drink is as unique as it is tasty. The entire restaurant overlooks the Vancouver waterfront so you have a stunning view while you dine, especially if you're there around sunset. I recommend ordering a few different plates and sharing. Everything is delicious and the atmosphere is fun and fresh. read more

We were an Asian party of 4, and although she got a birthday treat with a regular candle, we saw that others got the same treat but with a much larger 'torch' like candle that was spectacular. When we asked, we were told that the manager had just 'found' them. Whatever... read more

I got to say this was a pleasant surprise on the Vancouver waterfront. A friend of mine invited me there for lunch meeting and it was definitely a treat. The drinks are good, the food is great, and the staff was amazing. I see that the night life experiences a little different, I would definitely like to check that out. Be prepared to spend some money because this is some luxury dining. But I have to say the food was amazing and well worth the price. Don't miss out. The location and scenery or special as well. And they did a great job with the decor. read more

A really unique space with a club vibe - this is a great spot for girls night. Great view, beautiful space, unique cocktails + the salmon dish were all things I enjoyed. Things that didn't meet the mark for me - prices of items were a bit over. We had a group of 3 and spent over $300. We ordered three small plates, one entree and drinks. Service was very slow. Even after the restaurant started slowing down, and guests cleared out and even though we had two servers. We didn't order another round of drinks because we didn't want to wait longer. A side note, the mushrooms as a small plate are the ones on the salmon dish (just a good thing to know if you've asked your server for recommendations and they don't mention that two of your dishes are repeat items). Another tip - it's VERY loud. If you're with folx in your group who need accommodations for that, ask to be seated away from the DJ. D read more

This is my first time here, so expectations where high. The new-ish hot place on the waterfront and the ambiance doesn't disappoint. When greeted, I felt welcome and was shown my table like I was a VIP, nice, super friendly. Drinks came quick and with an amazing server that had all the answers for a great time, and talked to us like we were regulars. Amazing service is the reason I will return to this place, however, the food, though only had the small menu, was a little less than. Is it just the same guacamole with different unseasoned toppings? Not sure... Ordered the cheese, Guacamole, and empanadas, could get a better fix at a local food cart. My recommendation is to try this place for yourself, if you like a mix of Vegas "elegance" with a great NW riverfront view, this is your place. Again, some disappointments, but will be back. ;) read more

Dosalas - Crème Brûlée - Latin American Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Downtown Vancouver is so much more fun post Covid , something about people coming out with a vengeance or the new cool spots but this reminds of how Portland downtown used to be few years back .Dosalas has a very convenient location right next to two huge parking lots and smack on the waterfront . We did reservations and yet had to wait at least 15 minutes before they escorted us to our seats. The place has a classy club -meets -a restaurant with a view vibe . The views would have been perfect if we could have seen anything but the patio was covered so we decided to instead sit next to the fire . The place was brimming with people and the music was loud but overall it was not that loud that we couldn't t talk . Service is good but slow and everything takes a while to come even the drinks . Our server was friendly and answered questions and gave good recommendations . we had - The Empanadas - Excellent and highly recommended . They were crispy flavorful and came out piping hot . Guacamole Trio - This was your beloved Guac just being garnished with corns, Shrimp and cheese etc . Comes with big tostada chips . It was nothing special but we decided to have some munchies with our drinks because we had dinner plans for later in the night . Chocolate Torte -This was a nice surprise , I could totally give this dessert 6/5 ,it was that good . We saw the fancy Sunday with a lot of sparkles but decided it was too much for us to be able to finish and I am so glad because we enjoyed the torte 100% Margarita Sampler - This was average nothing special but we wanted to try the different flavors. The Passion fruit came out as the winner and the spicy margarita was rejected outright by all . The Vintage Fashion - This was the drink that first made me notice Dosalas ,so we really had to try it . It came in an Applewood smoke box and had fancy shenanigan's written all over it . The drink honestly was good with just the right amount of smokiness. Our Experience here was fun and would have been more if the prices were not sky-high. Everything was expensive but the cocktails being this highly priced doesn't make sense . Even if they charge for the location , its still a tad bit expensive to pay $20+ for a single drink. But overall , I loved this place and would totally return and bring friends . read more

Had dinner last night to celebrate our anniversary but was kinda disappointed food and drinks are great but honestly the service here is not okay, took over a hour and thirty minutes just to bring our cheese wheel, also just for our simple drinks we kept having to remind the servers over and over about them and we spent over well 400 on our tab, for the price I'm paying i feel like the service should be Way better and it isn't our first time here, we've been here for breakfast as well and it been empty since we were one of the first that morning and we still see just servers standing all together behind the bar just looking around and talking instead of checking in on us or bringing our drinks, we come here regularly but the service is always a issue for us. read more
