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.

    Great service. Our waiter was knowledgeable and kind. One of our dishes took so long to come out that we were almost ready to leave. A bit disappointed in that, but great service.

    Another stunning meal at Dovetail. Birthday lunch meant share plates off happy hour menu. We devoured everything and our server was fabulous with recommendations which included two salads, chicken and shrimp dishes. We enjoyed olives and Brussels sprouts as well and the most delicious lemon tiramisu for Birthday treat. All guests want to return and we are so lucky to have this restaurant in our hood.

    Highly recommend! Appreciate the attention and level of service we received. Acknowledging that we spent much longer at dinner than is typical and staff were so patient and working to accommodate us as we finished our second bottle of wine despite how busy it was. Thank you for a great experience, amazing service and tasty food.

    Shared the gem lettuce salad, vodka pasta, and the striploin steak which asked for Chicago style and was perfect. Everything was super delicious. Menu is somewhat limited but is executed perfectly. Could benefit from a more extensive wine list but we found one we enjoyed so it was not an issue. Dining room was packed on a busy Friday night. Will be back for sure!

    Very loud and busy restaurant. Food was good, service was ok (they were very busy). Probably won’t be back. Glad I tried the chicken parm.

    Nice atmosphere and service was excellent - in my opinion many better options for food in the city. Most of the dishes were heavily salted and they claimed they are known for their pasta which was simple boxed pasta that was way overcooked. Again the service was very good and atmosphere was pleasant.
