Had an amazing time at Dotty’s! Food was phenomenal—they served a salmon toast special this evening that was absolutely incredible. I hope they make it a permanent feature on the menu. The service was spectacular. All the staff were so friendly and attentive. We will most definitely be back! A wonderful evening spent.

We were seated on time, and the decor was lovely. We started with a fresh salad, and we enjoyed a glass of wine that was a current special called Adaptation. The wine selection was wonderful. The steaks were cooked and seasoned to perfection. We shared buttery whipped potatoes and glazed carrots. Excellent service. For us, this is a special occasion restaurant, and it was superb!

Serving fresh, bold and innovative food that reflects the history of New Bedford and celebrates the New Bedford fishermen, their catch and their culture.
