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.

    Anika was the best server I have ever had. I’d rather never go to another restaurant again than be served by anyone else. She is a queen, a mentor, a vision. I couldn’t have dreamed up service like this if heaven brought down servers and gave them to me at a nice restaurant. The timing was impeccable and Anika deserves a raise of at least 69% PER YEAR. This feels like it’s almost too much, but it’s not. If i met Anika in a dream, I’d wish it was real life.

    Food & service were very good. It’s a younger crowd- so with that comes a few things- 1. It was very loud. 2. The female staff were very casually dressed (most wearing crop tops). I’m all for ladies wearing what they want- but in a restaurant trying to be upscale- I would expect the staff to be dressed more appropriately. We were sat on the enclosed patio . With heaters it was still cold.

    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!
