We made a reservation here using their online reservation system. Two days before the date, someone left a message that they could no longer seat us at our reservation time of 6pm and were changing our reservation to 9pm. We have children so that was not going to work for us. Plus we had made our reservation well in advance using THEIR system! Our hotel concierge called and whomever he spoke to said she would talk to the manager about changing our reservation back to the original time and would call me directly. No one contacted me. I then called the restaurant the date before our reservation date and explained the situation to someone who agreed that what happened to us was not right and that she would try to move things around to seat us earlier than 9pm. Again, no one contacted us. We then had to scramble to find a place for dinner on a holiday. What an awful way to treat patrons.

One of the best Sunday roasts in the city, wine list was not great, cocktails were perfect, front desk couldn’t find our OpenTable booking because they rely on another booking system but kindly gave us a table anyway. Service was ok.
DovetaleResponded on 24 November 2024
Dear Omran, Thank you for sharing your comments following your visit to Dovetale. We really appreciate all feedback as it allows us to identify areas to improve for the future, so thank you again. We love that you appreciated our food; our culinary team work hard to combine seasonal and sustainable produce with simple yet effective flavours. We do use one main booking system, however all our reservations from all platforms are added, we are investigating as to why your reservation was not located, please do accept my apologies for this upon arriving to the venue and I can assure you is not a regular occurrence. We hope that you will return for the roast and cocktails and hope to have the opportunity to showcase the service our team strive for. Best wishes, Grace Barnes

Very disappointing Saturday brunch. Maybe it was what I ordered. The avocado bagel was bad. Bagel was soggy worse than the ones you can buy at the supermarket. There was barely any avocado on the bagel. The mint / herb sauce doesn’t pair well. Apparently the croque Madame was decent. Don’t recommend.

Hi there, Thank you for sharing your feedback; We are pleased that you enjoyed the atmosphere and service, however sad to learn that not all aspects of your visit lived up to our usual standards. Our culinary team works hard to create a produce-led menu, consuming produce from sustainable and quality focused resources. We hope that if you visit us again, you will be able to experience this. Please reach out directly to myself, where I will personally oversee the arrangements. We are welcoming back our Sunday Roast from October, if this may be something of interest! We really value all feedback as this allows us to improve for our future guests, so thank you once again. Best wishes, Grace Barnes F&B Admin Manager

Atención maravillosa y el lugar muy bien puesto. La comida por los precios, un poco sobrevalorada. Pero así es Mayfair.

We liked it until the bill was calculated wrong, experience ruined and we were all paying 10£ extra each, tried to correct the waitress but she still insisted the machine is automatic
DovetaleResponded on 24 June 2024
Hi there chenchen c, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I am pleased to hear you enjoyed the most part of your visit. It is dissapointing to learn that the bill affected your overall experience, as this is something we would never intend to happen.
