The food here is very uninspired and mediocre. Some patrons were yelling and screaming so loudly we couldn’t hear each other. Very unpleasant experience. We will not go back.

Delicious dinner and beautiful restaurant. My husband and I felt like we were in a cool California restaurant. We had the beef tataki, vodka penne, gem salad, cheeseburger, and brussel sprout and ALL were outstanding! 10 out of 10!!!

I really enjoyed the food at dovetail the portions were quite big. The pastas were very tasty. Although I didn’t enjoy the atmosphere. The restaurant was very loud and the tables were very close that it felt really tight as the server walked in between my arm got nudged as I was eating. The table was so small that we couldn’t have our dishes all come out at once which was disappointing because certain dishes I wanted to eat with my main.
