Eat to BlogJanuary 14, 2012Their Meatless Monday menu features some of the most interesting high-end vegetarian and vegan cooking in NYC.- chrisOctober 22, 2012Sunday menu is great value. Try the Fat Elvis sundae for dessert. Candied bacon on top = nomz!
Randall StemplerSeptember 26, 2012Save room for the fantastic chocolate peanut butter mousseline and bittersweet chocolate soufflé.
Jacqueline WeppnerOctober 1, 2010Always been here for proper dining, but oh is it such the perfect place for a quiet cocktail at the bar. Sarah is the perfect bar-side host.
Jenny GregoryFebruary 9, 2014One of the 10 best vegetarian restaurants in New York according to Village Voice
Mariana LOctober 2, 2012Looking for a very posh vegetarian tasting menu? Monday nights at Dovetail is perfect for you
P JFebruary 10, 2015Don't make reservations for 530...they make you wait at the bar because they have their daily meeting. They should atleast seat you at your table. Ridiculous!
Seth AlpertMarch 21, 2011Apple crumble not good. All other desserts great, cheesecake & pain perdu the best of them. Sunday Suppa a good deal @ $56
Brigitte GoldOctober 12, 2011Christian is amazing - makes you feel so welcomed!the Veggie tasting on Mondays is to die over
Big SmooV "JayAugust 1, 2013OMG try the Dungeness Crab Salad, White Asparagus, Meyer Lemon, Barley!!!!!
David GilfordFebruary 2, 2010Great Restaurant Week menu. Duck confit and steak w/ beef cheek lasagna were delicious. Nice bonuses: amuse-bouche and post-dessert truffles.
MelbaNovember 19, 2013Chef Fraser's Tasting Menu
Adrienne MApril 6, 2013Waited an hour despite having a reservation, then got charged for 7 prix fixe dinners when there were only 4 of us. Food was good but really, we probably would have had a better time at Shake Shack.
Jeffrey TascarellaFebruary 10, 2010Go to Dovetail. Have Amanda or Christian do a wine pairing for you. Ball out on the Armagnac cart. Indulge in amazing foie gras.
Chefs FeedAugust 5, 2014Chef Amanda Freitag eats here on her nights off. She loves the Monday vegetable prix fixe. Read more
MichelleSeptember 27, 2014We had the seared foie gras which was sensational. Service was pretty slow.
Monday night vegetarian menu is an excellent way to start the week. You must order the prix fix.
Jeanie KimJanuary 1, 2016Came here for my birthday.. And was disappointed....45 min for an appetizer to come out and then they serve me undercooked chicken for my entree... Foods not worth the money.
Alex ZaltsmanJune 21, 2010Food is great but the service really shines. Fantastic wait staff. Very knowledgable about the menu.
Joanna LimFebruary 1, 2010The duck goulash was sooooo good, one of the best dishes I've ever had in my life... No joke.
