We are a neighborhood restaurant & wine bar located in the heart of the Charlestown Navy Yard. Little sister to Brewer's Fork, we focus on wine, house-made pasta and local seafood. We have a large, dog-friendly seasonal patio located on a tree-lined cobblestone walking street. We are located just off the Freedom Trail, steps away from the U.S.S. Constitution Museum & Boston Harbor Walk.

    Loved Dovetail! Cool ambiance, and incredibly friendly staff. Service and food were amazing. Mussels were delicious as an appetizer, and the halibut and skate special were fantastic! Excited to return in the warmer weather to enjoy the outdoor patio!
