The staff was very attentive & the food tasted very fresh. We had guacamole & chips, shrimp tacos & quesadillas but did not try any of their signature cocktails, though they looked very appealing. The location was very convenient to multiple Broadway theaters which we took advantage of to have pre-matinee lunch. They also have a cute cat robot that they use to deliver drinks, etc., quite a novelty for entertainment.

Dolly Varden was the PERFECT cocktail spot for a birthday get-together I had before a show:) The staff was so nice and attentive to my larger party of 14, and the vibe of the place and decor made it feel like a Christmas cabin getaway. Every drink we had was amazing and the food was wonderful as well! Will surely be back!

They were so accommodating to my mom (who is 93) and to me upon arrival. It took the stress out of the meal and our waiter was so patient and sweet. Food was great. It was a really nice way to spend our afternoon. Many thanks.
