    The first two times I visited Dallas I really enjoyed the food. However, it seems the quality has changed. Some of the menu items have changed and they’re just not as nice as they were before. Also, they need to get the piping fixed because I was unfortunately sitting next to the bathroom and lost my appetite fairly quickly.

    Food was super expensive and very underwhelming . The salmon had an after taste. The best thing on the menu was the wings. The prices are expensive for the taste. But the waiter and the atmosphere was a 10/10.

    Amazing dinner at Doves!!! All of the food was superb and had plenty of flavor. Our waitress Ophelia was wonderful and attentive. The atmosphere is contagious and the drinks were really good as well. Valet parking is a tad busy but they make it work. One of the mgrs Tony even came out to help facilitate. The owner Sam was walking around and clearing plates off tables. I love when a mgmt team all work together to give patrons the best experience. Great place to visit.

    Excellent food and service, but it's extremely loud for a sit down restaurant.

    This was my second time at Doves, first time for dinner and second time for brunch. Dinner food was OKAY but I heard the brunch food was good. Overall, my food and my friend’s food was good! They got the shrimp and grits, chicken and waffles, oxtail hash, and banana foster pancakes. I got the sweet potato waffle, Hashbrowns, and grits. The grits and waffle were great, the waffle was just flat. Our waitress was really sweet, it’s just the kitchen was beyond slow. There were not as many people in the restaurant but it took them a while to bring our food. They were also out of non pork sausage so they gave me turkey bacon instead (I had to send it back, it looked like cardboard). Ambience is what really draws you in and I’d give the food a 7.5/10. I’d go back when I’m not as hungry lol.

    We had a great time! Our server was amazing. Only issue was with the power. It kept cutting in and out.
