I really wanted to like this place but It’s not the case. I was recommended brunch here, and my friend and I wanted to try it, so we did.
The food is totally okay, nothing special about it. We had pastry as a starter and that was honestly the only thing so cheap $10 for 6 mini pastries, honey and jam. We got salmon plate $32 and another brunch meal can’t recall the price, along with mocktails that were so pricey. $18 for a tiny glass mocktail !!!
The rest of the food was pricey… strange. My friend wanted salmon and they honestly made it happen even though they were serving brunch only, thank you for that.
The service was okay at the beginning then we started having a little attitude. The server was nice to me but not to my friend, strange! The server also checked on us often which is great.
Also, we were the only ones on a Saturday brunch !!! Empty no body was there but us and the staff.
We were given the check without asking for it, by someone else not our server. My friend and I were catching up, talking after our food and sipping on our drinks, we planned on staying more and order more drinks but apparently we were not welcome.
So after we were given the check without asking for it, there was a 22% surcharge service even though we are only two people. We still tipped on top of the 22% service charge added to our tab.
I honestly, will not comeback here again nor recommend it to anyone, first and last time!

What a wonderful hidden boutique gem! We haven’t stayed at the hotel yet but the restaurant was great, sexy vibe, low key atmosphere, we were at the bar and the cocktails were great! 39$ prefix menu was a hit! Check them out, their heated patio is great too!

Another restaurant week with amazing food, drinks and service. The salad, lamb rigatoni, soup, meatloaf, steak and the desserts was amazing. The drinks was definitely tasty and strong.

Maryland crab | old bay | trout roe * Fried Calamari
Arugula | red curry | grapefruit ponzu Entrees
* Slammin’ Salmon
Sorghum-miso glazed salmon | stone milled grits | collards | braised bacon * Crabcakes & Football

* Fade Into You
Pierre ferrand cognac | lustau manzanilla sherry | giffard ginger liqueur | baked apple reduction | lemon | applewood smoke * Trini Demi Girls
Plantation pineapple rum | bol’s genever | allspice dram | spiced demerara | pineapple | orange | angostura bitters | red wine float The atmosphere is calm and intimate perfect for a romantic date night, they also have a beautiful outdoor patio which I can’t wait to check out in the spring!

Did someone say girls’ brunch?!!! We had a fantastic time at Dovetail for our weekend brunch! There are so many delicious menu options to choose from, and the environment is gorgeous and picturesque! The service was exceptional, and the food was fabulous and absolutely mouthwatering; I loved all the delicious entrees, and the presentation was excellent. Chef’s kiss and I can’t wait for my next visit!!
