    Valentine’s Day special is what they had so I might have been on a bad night. In my entire $75 meal I got a glass of sparkling wine, 3 oysters, 4 scallops, and a sliver of cake. Poor value. The food was good and service was fine it just wasn’t worth the $200 for 2 I spent.

    Went for a brunch date during their Restaurant Week offering and already have plans to return with friends a week later! Mimosa ratio was great, and the service was phenomenal. Food was also terrific, textures and flavors all playing beautifully together. Overall, a wonderful way to spend the morning. Definitely worth putting on your brunch list!

    Excellent underrated gem tucked inside the viceroy hotel! The restaurant week menu was so tasty someone in our party tried everything on the menu and we loved it all. Delicious elevated American classics with a slight southern flair. Excellent cocktails and unique bar offerings. Awesome patio!!

    This is a very nice hidden gem. Kind of a more intimate setting in a way. I went for restaurant week and the food options were great and I especially loved their presentation. I had the deviled eggs, pot roast, and the date cake. I would order them all again!

    We had such a great NYE at Dovetail! The service was great, the atmosphere was cozy and the tables were decorated with festive NYE decor. The food was so good! We loved the scallops sea bass crudo, the NY steak + lobster, and the brown butter and bread puddings. This was our first time at Dovetail and we’d definitely return for their regular menu. 10/10!
