This is a great restaurant! Food is outstanding and the experience is so classy. There aren't many places left that can give you this type of fine dining pleasure. Domenic's is a 'must' for anyone that appreciates quality.

It was New Year's eve, not as crowded as I expected, always a few empty tables, but the whole experience was really slow. After being seated we (2) waited 10-15 minutes for our drink order to be taken and then the server realized we hadn't been given a drink menu. Not a big deal just awkward. Then the Captain came over 20 minutes later to explain the one off the menu offering and it was nearly another 20 minutes before he returned to take our order. By the time our appetizer had come out we'd been there about an hour and 15 minutes and when the salads came out an hour and 45 minutes. Dinners were served about 20 minutes or so later, so were now ready to eat the main course two plus hours in. Fettuccine alfredo for one, Veal for the other, they were good but nothing special about either dish to make them memorable. The decor inside is very nice and the staff was pleasant, but overall for the price, I may try again but would be in no hurry.

Great food, service was great until it was time to settle out. Took 45 minutes. Noise level wasn't too bad.
In our experience, Dominic's is on the high end, cost wise, but not a deal breaker, especially for special occasions.
Definitely would go again.
