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.

    I’ve been to Dovetail several times including twice in the last month. Family dinners, couples date nights and out with colleagues. It delivers every time. The food, service and vibe are great. It’s the spot.

    I had a lovely experience at Dovetail on a Sunday afternoon with my sisters. Our server was wonderful and the food was so good. We ordered the olives, fries, bang bang shrimp, salmon smash burger and the spicy vodka pasta which were all amazing.

    We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Dovetail! The team from Reign Medispa in Richmond came for a staff dinner, and from start to finish, everything was perfect — the ambiance, the service, and especially the food.. The staff made us feel so welcome and taken care of. We’re already looking forward to coming back for our next team celebration. Highly recommend! Rahim

    My go to place for pasta! The spicy vodka rigatoni is a must and the carbonara for their unique pasta noodle. I usually don’t like tacos but their soft tacos were amazing! Our server Nick was super cute and friendly! Everything was perfect 😍
