Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: Inspired by the relaxed sophistication of California dining, this stylish spot embraces boho west coast vibes with its soft neutral tones and natural fabrics. Seasonal ingredients are the throughline of a playful menu that ranges from carne asada to spicy vodka pasta. After dinner, classic cocktails and a funky soundtrack encourage diners to hang out longer.

Excellent happy hour menu. Smash burgers were both (beef and salmon) good and the salmon one was unique and worked (much to my surorise)x baby gem caesar salad was excellent as were the bang bang shrimp. The desserts were phenomenal especially the lemon tiramisus. We had two drinks, two mains, two sides and a dessert and it was under $100 before tax and tip. Highly recommend.

This was our first time at Dovetail! The ambiance was really elevated but relaxing, and the service was super friendly! We ordered the bang bang shrimp, the bolo pasta, the mushroom pasta, the raspberry mojito and the paloma. Everything was delicious! It’s a lovely spot for a date night or to have a meal with friends. I look forward to coming back to try more!

I’ve been to Dovetail three times now, and each visit has been outstanding. The service is always warm and attentive, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. The food is nothing short of exceptional – each dish is perfectly prepared with fresh ingredients and bold flavors that never disappoint. This place has quickly become my new favorite spot, and I can’t recommend it enough!

Was sat in the “outside” area. Fully covered but slightly cold. They had blankets and heaters at the ready. We got the mushrooms on toast and have to say it was amazing. The chicken appetizer was a close second! Will be going back for sure.
