Dovetail

103 W 77th St
New York, NY 10024
Phone: (212) 362-3800
Great UWS Restaurant
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

04/07/2008 Posted by md2059

My husband and I went to Dovetail on a Sunday night. We were able to get a reservation on a few hours' notice. On Sundays, Dovetail serves a $38 prix fixe dinner. The food was amazing from the amouse bouche of salmon caviar and sour cream to the divine miniature red velvet cupcakes we were given after dessert and the small containers of homemade peanut butter granola we got to take home. The service was warm and attentive, but unobtrusive. We really liked the cozy, inviting ambiance, and the crowd was a nice mix of people. Dovetail is a terrific addition to the UWS restaurant scene and we will definitely be back for both, the Sunday prix fixe and the regular menu nights. If you go on Sunday, I would highly recommend the pork belly and the gnocchi with veal short ribs appetizers (the latter well worth the $8 supp) and the yoghurt panna cotta dessert served with candied grapefruit and grapefruit sorbet.

Pros: Everything! A great dining experience

Cons: None

Insider Tips

What to Drink

The wine list is unsurprisingly expensive but offers some nice options by the glass, including a crisp, fruity Erdener Treppchen Riesling ($10).
