The Prime Rib is one of those enduring institutions that continues to provide impeccable service and top notch fare, in a timeless atmosphere that provides a great location for celebrating a birthday with friends. The steak and accompaniments were consistently good, as were the mixed cocktails (the martinis in particular!) that were excellent. It's always a treat to dine with The Prime Rib as they are truly a gem of a place to enjoy a wonderful meal in a beautiful old world environment. Most notable, they always have the most professional and attentive team, providing stellar service. from the experience of the front man, to the servers, to the bar/mixologists. We like to frequent this location but don't come often enough. We will be back!

We had the loveliest time at Dovetail. I let them know it was my friend’s birthday, and they wrote her a beautiful personalized note and brought her a slice of delicious chocolate cake with a candle and sang happy birthday. She was over the moon, and we were blown away by our server, William, and the rest of the Dovetail team. We also got oysters, a filet, mashed potatoes, fresh baked bread, and the brussel sprouts. Everything was incredible, and we cannot recommend it enough. Thank you for creating such a special evening, Dovetail!
