Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: Inspired by the relaxed sophistication of California dining, this stylish spot embraces boho west coast vibes with its soft neutral tones and natural fabrics. Seasonal ingredients are the throughline of a playful menu that ranges from carne asada to spicy vodka pasta. After dinner, classic cocktails and a funky soundtrack encourage diners to hang out longer.

    Wonderful food, nice atmosphere. You must try the Bang Bang Shrimp, the Kale Salad, the Chicken Parmesan, the Brussels Sprouts, and the Lemon Tiramisu- all were absolutely delicious! Highly recommend this restaurant!

    The food and service is great. My husband and I shared the chicken parmigiana and pasta with spicy vodka tomato sauce, really great. This is the second time I’ve had the chicken parmigiana, definitely a share dish. Also had a happy hour transfusion (vodka, grape juice, ginger) so yummy!

    This was my second time at dovetail and it won’t be my last!! Got the “green teaser” at happy hour and it was delish. For food we got the bang bang shrimp ($16) WOW!! Soooo good and crispy but fresh and flavourful. Then we shared the Spicy Vodka pasta. Amazing (better than elephante in santa monica). Our server and all staff were wonderful and friendly and the vibes are always good! Love this place!!
