    TRASHHHHHHHH! The food is not anything but unacceptable! For the pricing and the hype that was given was nothing that I would rave about to anyone I know! It’s upsetting my party of 6 was not at all pleased needless to mention of my party of 6 there was a chef amongst us! Expectations and reality is very an important factor in creating a space where culinary knowledge and skills should be developed. Unfortunately, we will NOT be returning!

    This was our first time there. The ambience was great! The food and drinks were absolutely delicious. Our waitress, LaShonne, was the best. She was quite knowledgeable regarding the menu and had great suggestions which we truly enjoyed.

    Everything was almost literally perfect, the food and the aesthetic of the restaurant but the music is too loud. It's extremely loud, it sounds like a club and I hate clubs for this exact reason. I probably wouldn't be back for this reason. Five star restaurants need a classy vibe not twerking music. Lol #Firethedj

    Charged for item that was returned even when they agreed to take it off. Workers meant well but need training in providing service. The food was good, though.

    First time there. Every thing was amazing and date night was a success! We will be going back. We went early and basically had the place to ourselves! Food exceeded our expectations! Staff was on point. 👏🏽

    The people were very loud. The place smelled like a restroom. The food was mediocre for the price. Also I could do without the dove. The waiter also was not very accurate or knowledgeable. I received the wrong drink as well. We also had to repeatedly ask for the drinks.

    Everything about Doves last night was truly uplifting. The service, the host, the food, and the atmosphere were all incredibly inspiring. Simply exceptional. I felt warmly welcomed from the moment we arrived until we departed the facility.
