Dovetail Restaurant

One of the best restaurants in Charlestown. Perfect place for both full dinner or couple of drinks with snack. Open kitchen with professional servers gave us a good impression of the restaurants. Mussel with wine was spectacular; it really got along with bread and we ended up ordering couple more side breads to finish the sauce. Fig sandwich was also great. This is a lively place, and you can't really go wrong with any menu choice here.

Had dinner at dovetail for the first time, we loved the food, ambiance, and wine. Service was good with a bit of lag due to being a beautiful night and the patio was packed! I didn’t get a picture of everything but I loved the corn soup with lump crab, the focaccia bread small plate was AMAZING! I could have this as my meal it was just so good! I had an amazing sparkling rose which I forget the name but I believe it was Spanish. We normally venture into downtown Boston for dinner but this hidden gem was a lovely find and easier to find parking too. Will add this to our favorites list for sure :)

I had a wonderful dinner here with my family. We ordered steak, chicken, pasta, salad, and a couple of cocktails. The food was delicious, and the ambiance was pleasant. It was a warm summer day, so we sat outside. The service was alright, besides a few awkward moments. It was nice that they were so friendly toward children, and we saw some other families there.

We dined in lunch time when outside tables were taken. We enjoyed mussels & turkey sandwiches. The deck was good. I like wood beams. Plastic chairs could be upgraded to fit the smviance.

Doing the tourist thing when we literally stumbled upon the Dovetail - so glad we did! I had their melon salad, which is a delicious variation of a Greek salad with cantaloupe chunks. My daughter had steamed mussels in an incredibly delicious broth. Friendly and informative staff. Relaxed, pleasant atmosphere. Fantastic lunch!

One of my favorite restaurants in Boston for contemporary American and Italian food. This has been one of my go-to spots for pasta dinner, and I really enjoyed my recent brunch experience here as well. Their handmade pasta has an amazing texture, and I’m especially fan of their fat spaghetti. The local clams spaghetti and the sausage ragu rigatoni are also great, and their minimal seasoning helps highlight their textures. While no longer offered, tomato braised calamari was also one of my favorites as the mix of tomato sauce and lemon was an excellent pairing with the calamari. When I recently took my friend here for brunch, I was disappointed to hear that they don’t serve pasta, but I still liked all the menus that we tried. Huevos rancheros was a more filling meal overall, but I also liked the coconut milk mussels that came with fragrant Thai spices and an interesting kick from the chili. Since they don’t take reservations, the wait times are usually around 30 minutes for dinner, but they’re certainly worth the wait. The wait times are definitely shorter for brunch, but I would highly recommend trying their dinner menus first.

Absolutely fantastic. This was my first time visiting and enjoyed myself. The Chicken and Waffles was great. My food was on the table with it 15 minutes of ordering too. This is a place I will definitely revisit when in town. Cheers, y’all. 🍗🧇

I came to this place for lunch purely because of its high rating. But my experience was different. It is pricey and the food is small in size. The lobster roll contained probably only 7-8 pieces of lobster. The salmon was good although. Just now I checked some of the reviews and found most of them were for dinner. Maybe they are good for dinner, but not that good for lunch?
