I had a wonderful dinner here with my family. We ordered steak, chicken, pasta, salad, and a couple of cocktails. The food was delicious, and the ambiance was pleasant. It was a warm summer day, so we sat outside. The service was alright, besides a few awkward moments. It was nice that they were so friendly toward children, and we saw some other families there.

Had dinner at dovetail for the first time, we loved the food, ambiance, and wine. Service was good with a bit of lag due to being a beautiful night and the patio was packed! I didn’t get a picture of everything but I loved the corn soup with lump crab, the focaccia bread small plate was AMAZING! I could have this as my meal it was just so good! I had an amazing sparkling rose which I forget the name but I believe it was Spanish. We normally venture into downtown Boston for dinner but this hidden gem was a lovely find and easier to find parking too. Will add this to our favorites list for sure 🙂

Absolutely fantastic. This was my first time visiting and enjoyed myself. The Chicken and Waffles was great. My food was on the table with it 15 minutes of ordering too. This is a place I will definitely revisit when in town.

Took a break from my Hop On Hop Off tour day to grab a bite. This is not an inexpensive place but I enjoyed the tastes of my choices. These actually may be normal prices for this area but seemed higher to me than was typical of other places .At the time I was here the menu available was The Mid-day offerings. I didn’t even know that was a thing! More limited choices than even the Lunch menu was my understanding (for example no soup choice but there is at lunch). For a few roasted oysters and really enjoyed them. Oysters have really become the food for the well endowed wallets. And then got thr lobster roll which came with homestyle potato chips. The staff was very friendly but I have to admit, their casual style of dress threw me off for the price point that I encountered (only because we didn’t know at first who was a worker for the establishment). All in all I enjoyed my meal.

Best part of Dovetail is infectious happy vibe. Great food, smiley and relaxed staff, and not too loud. Everything I tried was great.

You want to eat FRESH AND HOUSE MADE DELICIOUS FOOD? This is the place you need to come and enjoy good food that tastes and looks like fresh food! Alexa the waitress was friendly and attentive plus patient with the kids. I had the Pork Milanese with a side salad and Let’s just say everyone wanted seconds. The cookies were also DELICIOUS. By the way the water tasted crisp and also fresh. The filtration they use is awesome and maybe that is why I loved it too. Thank you for the amazing service and to the chefs!! Blessings to everyone who works there providing good meals.

One of my favorite restaurants in Boston for contemporary American and Italian food.

I came to this place for lunch purely because of its high rating. But my experience was different. It is pricey and the food is small in size. The lobster roll contained probably only 7-8 pieces of lobster. The salmon was good although. Just now I checked some of the reviews and found most of them were for dinner. Maybe they are good for dinner, but not that good for lunch?

The service gets six stars!! Ate at the bar and had lovely conversations with everyone. They were attentive, helpful and fun to hang out with. I’m going to have to return and try some of the seafood since that is their specialty. I really enjoyed the mushroom toast. The steak was good, nothing exciting enough to make me scream from the rafters. I’ll definitely be back just to hang with the amazing people that work there.
