Making Meatless Mainstream: John Fraser's Impact on NYC Dining

"This intimate setting is the backdrop for the myriad of dining options—three- or four-course prix fixe, pre-theater and chef's tasting menus—for guests to choose from. Here, the vegetarian and vegan menus are staples, rather than secondary options, and available nightly." - Shanika Hillocks

Making Meatless Mainstream: John Fraser's Impact on NYC Dining

"John Fraser is a '99 percent vegetarian' chef who's Meatless Monday concept brought his first restaurant, Dovetail, into the spotlight. Its success led to Nix—Fraser's other Michelin-starred vegetable-forward outlet—and caused the emphasis on vegetables to spread throughout the New York City dining scene. This month marks the 10th anniversary of Dovetail. Fraser recounts the evolution of his uptown outpost, and the journey that brought him here." - Shanika Hillocks

Wonder environment, friendly staff, and amazing creative foods! The ambience is perfect for both a date and a nice gathering! The tasting menu was wonderful with different and unexpected flavors! The slight twists make an already wonderful and quality ingredient to be another level!! Definitely recommend!

We went to Dovetail while visiting NYC for my wife's 30th birthday. We have both been vegetarians for almost 7 years now and my in-laws, who were with us, are also vegetarians. We are from LA so we have been to many high end vegetarian/vegan restaurants. We looked at all the reviews about this place and were super excited to go here. It did not disappoint in any way. The service was on point. The food blew us away. The wine was extraordinary. All four of us did the vegetarian tasting menu (7 courses) and three of us did the wine pairing. There is nothing that we would change about our experience here. I would HIGHLY recommend Dovetail to anyone that is in NYC. It is pricey but it is an experience that you will remember forever.

A singular experience. On one hand, I've had better food. But not many places, and really the overall experience was stellar. First...amazing service. Among the best I've ever been treated to. The dessert course was easily the star, with the wagyu a close second. The little flourishes like the petit fours to close, and the amuse bouche show that there is a clear culinary journey that the chef wants to take you on, and it's one well worth going on.

1. This restaurant would call you one day before your reservation for confirming. 2. Very low profile, located in a quiet conner. Decorations are elegant and romantic. 3. Dishes are creative and delicious. 4. Service is very intimate. I love this place very much!

Blown away by the amazing service. Wine pairings with each course was spot on! It was not only fantastic food but an experience. Great ambiance.

Had the tasting menu last night, excellent. Well balanced flavours, textures and temperatures made it stand out. Eat here if you want a great meal, don't eat here if your idea of food heaven is Pastrami at the Carnegie Deli

As somebody that enjoys great food, I recommend that seven-course tasting. Brought my own wine (as friends tell me, I'm an amateur-plus sommelier) which enhanced the meal (and a little secret, my wine was a 15 year Brunello & and a 20 year Haut-Médoc, so I didn't mind the corking fee). I hope this place gets their second star, because it's deserving of 2 (not quite a 3-Star)! I liked the fusion of fish and veggies for health and wellbeing, as well as the tiniest amount of cheese within some tasty pastries. In my case, I saw a friend from the Army, so we try to live well whenever we can, so paying for this meal was a treat. It goes without saying, you should come here for the culinary experience and let yourself be pleasantly surprised by the art in front of you that will smell and taste terrific with the right wine and celebratory events, such as those linked to friendships and gratitude.

Innovative and unusual dishes made for a fun experience. Our waiter was also superb suggesting a great familiar blanc from Dirty & Rowdy and otherwise providing great service. However, we did find the dishes to be on the salty side and the ingredients to be a bit unbalanced. Though I ordered the pork loin for my entrée, it and the bacon were smaller than the rather large beet accompaniment. Altogether, including the tip, three four course meals, one of which was dessert, and two glasses of wine ran us nearly $500.
