| | | | | | Dovetail opened last year to rapturous reviews. When we visited in March, I couldn’t quite decide if it deserved all those laurels. I gave it 2½ stars, half-a-star lower than the major critics did. We were back this evening for Dovetail’s “Sunday Suppa,” a three-course meal for just $38. If the... Read More | | | | | | Normally I don't even try to go to popular new restaurants on the Upper West Side, considering it an exercise in futility. I could never get a table at 'Cesca when Tom Valenti was cooking, and by the time I got to Aix, it could have been called "eh." It might be the Upper West Sider's unca...

Dovetail, his new restaurant, scored a rare “triple triple”: three-star reviews from Adam Platt, Restaurant Girl, and most importantly, Frank Bruni.

Read More | | | | | | Krieger, 11/21/08 In what many have noted as the start of a dining migration to the Upper West Side, John Fraser's Dovetail opened up in a subterranean space on West 77th St. just about a year ago. Bruni gave it the tres back in February, and it's been an UWS neighborhood spot ever since. You're ... Read More | | | | | | Fall is a time for restaurant openings. Lots of them. Restaurateurs will make promises, excite us, with their grand plans. Consider this here the intel you need to keep abreast of it all—and start obsessing at just the right moment.
