Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: Inspired by the relaxed sophistication of California dining, this stylish spot embraces boho west coast vibes with its soft neutral tones and natural fabrics. Seasonal ingredients are the throughline of a playful menu that ranges from carne asada to spicy vodka pasta. After dinner, classic cocktails and a funky soundtrack encourage diners to hang out longer.

    The service and food are outstanding, unfortunately, we were seated near a table full of screechers. Your manager, Trevor Ennis comped us desserts for putting up with the noise, much appreciated We will be back very soon. May

    Went with a couple gfs so we got to split a bunch of dishes and they were all delicious spicy vodka pasta, bang bang shrimp, beef tataki ( they did a very nice refreshing one) and the tini snack which was fries and salad and we added the caviar which was a nice touch. Our server was lovely and service was great. Can’t wait to come back

    My girlfriend and I went to Dovetail for the first time around 3:45 and were surprised by how busy it was—but in the best way. The place had such a great vibe and the ambiance was on point. The staff were amazing—super friendly and genuinely cool, which made the experience even better. Food and drinks? Outstanding. We had a fantastic time and will definitely be coming back again!

    What's not to like? All day Happy Hour, a nice patio, great food (BANG BANG SHRIMP! Pasta Carbonara!) a very friendly staff and a birthday celebration for 2 for $87. It is one of my go to's in Vancouver, fun vibe.

    Absolutely blown away by both the food and the service! I never thought I’d enjoy Brussels sprouts, but these completely changed my mind. The staff were so warm and attentive, and to top it all off, the manager surprised us with limoncello and dessert on the house. Such a memorable experience. We’ll definitely be coming back!
