Dovetail Bar & Grill: A Dismal Dining Disappointment
From the moment I entered the Dovetail Bar & Grill, it became evident that this would be an evening of regret. The staggering wait time was just the beginning of a series of disappointments. One would think that with such a delay, it would culminate in a meal worth the wait. Alas, this was far from the case.
The food, to put it generously, was mediocre at best. Bland flavors and uninspiring presentations left much to be desired, making me question the merit of my patience. However, what truly accentuated the restaurant's negligence was the unsightly cobwebs dangling from the ceiling—a sure sign of poor maintenance and a blatant disregard for cleanliness and ambiance.
As if the food and atmosphere weren’t already distressing enough, our experience was further marred by our waitress’s audacity. After receiving a tip exceeding 20%, she had the gall to complain about its insufficiency. An astounding lack of professionalism, especially given that the service was far from impeccable.

I love how their menu is small, specializing in what appears to be tried-and-true winners. On a side note, the space is comfortable, from the seating, to the large windows/retractable garage-like doors, and pleasant ambient music that's not too loud. Thank you, Dovetail, for a...
Read moreI had a lager to pair with the vibes and burger to come. For the appetizers, we did smoked white fish, this was beautifully smoked, and the tomato cheese bread was another iteration in my opinion of caprese salad, and this dish was a refreshing break from the heavier more bold flavors of the meal. The cherry pecan cheese roll had mild blue-veined cheese with dried cherries, loved the complexity of this appetizer and the crackers were nicely baked. for the main, of course we did the Dovetail Burger which is served with fries. This burger was enormous, and the bacon jam added a nice sweetness, almost felt like a BBQ type burger. We indulged and conquered the burger, and had room for dessert. I was the odd one out and got the Cherry Pecan Bread Pudding, it was warm and served with whipped cream, caramel, and was a great way to...
