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.

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... Read More

[Kalina via Eater]John Fraser must be floating on air. Dovetail, his new restaurant, scored a rare “triple triple”: three-star reviews from Adam Platt, Restaurant Girl, and most importantly, Frank Bruni.

We're far from the land of the bottomless mimosa. It's no country for lumberjack breakfasts, either. Dovetail's prix fixe brunch ($28 per person) is a procession of variegated flavors... 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
