Dovetail, New York, New York, American Restaurant Details

Food:

Paying attention to every detail, John Fraser's sophisticated Upper Westsider offers artful New American cooking and polite service in a formal but relaxed bi-level room; such memorable meals naturally come at an expensive cost, though the $58 ‘Sunday suppa' is more of a price performer.

Food:

Great atmosphere, great food

Food:

Gorgeous plating and a contemporary atmosphere which was in line with its name. I tried the fuji apple salad, grilled king trumpet mushroom, baked cauliflower, cheddar cornbread, miso-roasted beets. Taste was innovative, varied, and usually hit the mark. Cauliflower was a bit salty. The texture of the vegetables was impressive; meat was not missed. The beets came with an interesting lime buttermilk sauce. The deserts, particularly the coffee semifreddo was amazing and melted in the mouth. It had a delicious coffee soaked almond crumble. Devil's food cake was indulgent. Great service, great atmosphere, great food.

Food:

An elegant, modern American restaurant in the Upper West Side with a great value prix fixe brunch, which starts off with a variety of canapes, the main course you select among numerous well thought options, and a great spread of miniature desserts. Great service, nice ambiance, even though a little bit more light would have been welcome.

Food:

I was really excited to have a dinner at this place but got really dissapointed. Great app and entree everything else was below average. The food is really good, but it doesn't worth the trouble and the money. Reservation got delayed for 45 minutes and not even a compliment. It takes 3 hours to have a dinner. The pastry chef should get fired, plus the naming of the desserts is misleading and far from what it's supposed to be. Additionally the pastry chef totally miss any key ingredient. Be careful to check the ticket for the coats, the hostess is totally under stress and pressure and she just can't deliver from the start to the end ;).

Food:

Seriously? I've had better service at Olive Garden than at this Michelin starred establishment.

Dovetail, my two girlfriends and I wanted to love you. But you gave the wrong plate to the wrong person for all three of our courses. And made us wait 30 minutes for the coffee we ordered upon getting seated (finally arrived after the appetizers).

And then slid the wrong entree onto my place setting, while pushing my coffee off kilter in its saucer, with the plate. Then you clumsily switched our silverware to match the entrees you misplaced. The salmon croquante was tasty, with the toasty buttery crisp ensuring a dreamy crunch on the skin side. The potatoes (from steak + potatoes) were amazing as well. But you didn't come check on us during our mains.

AND, you let my football-shaped ice cream blob tumble off the plate when again serving our dessert orders to the wrong recipients.

AND, after saying "Sorry I'll need to get you more ice cream," LEFT THE SCOOP ON THE TABLECLOTH to melt for 20 minutes before someone (with a very impressive moustache) finally scraped it away. Sigh. Shake Shack, I'm sorry I passed you by... I've learned my lesson.
