The $120 vegetable tasting menu comes with courses such as trumpet mushroom carpaccio, acorn squash agnolotti, and roasted beets with tofu. The project earned Fraser a Michelin star last year. Read more

Amazing food, great atmosphere, friendly and very professional staff. Vine list is very good. Beef is my favorite and the words are not enough to describe the taste of the souffle. Highly recommended.

Well deserved Michelin star. Tasting Menu is the way to go at a good price and well accommodating for vegetarians. Definitely going to return!

Dovetail was revamped last summer but the effect is the same: it’s a serene, highly civilized space to enjoy Fraser’s thoughtful cooking. The restaurant offers a variety of dining options. Read more

The restaurant started in 2007 and has since earned a Michelin star and plenty of great reviews, but it flies far enough under the radar that a celebration dinner that doesn’t feel trite. Read more

Amazing dessert, very attentive wait staff, and right down the street from the museum of natural history. Great dinner destination after a long day of dinosaur bones and star gazing.

Wonderful service in a beautiful atmosphere. The 4 course tasting menu is a great value, especially when you consider the little extras that accompany the meal.

Very intimate and romantic setting. Love the food here! Get the cured carrots&salmon appetizer. Would like to come back and try their vegetable tasting. Meyer Lemon Pie for dessert was spot on as well

Delicious creative meal. Did the four course and received at least 3 other treats "for free." Excellent service. Accommodating staff. Yummy food. Would like to try tasting menu.

Amazing... Everything was insane from the arancini bread to the celery palette cleanser and in between. Must have the foie gras, venison, halibut, every vegetable plate and every dessert!! $$$$$$

Quality ingredients are combined to create healthy yet delicious dishes, like the white gazpacho soup or the pumpkin soup. Save room for dessert – we recommend the bittersweet chocolate soufflé.

I have never had such an amazing meal in my entire life. Everything was perfect and creative. The staff were so friendly. I am definitely coming back here in the future.
Natalia QuinteroJune 14, 2012
One of the best restaurants in NYC. John Fraser (the chef) is an amazing up-and-coming chef. Try their tasting menu paired with wine...you wont regret it.

Delicious tasting menu, better dessert! @EricHoRaw on IG

This exquisite restaurant is perfect for a date night, for which we recommend the veal chop for two. Otherwise, treat yourself to the butter poached lobster with mouth watering burgundy truffles.

For our vegetarian guest, Dovetail was the perfect place for a business dinner. We recommend the pumpkin soup. For an appetizer then entrée they are known for their lasagna with carrots and pine nuts.

A gem on the Upper West Side with wonderful surprises between courses. My filet mignon was prepared perfectly & the red velvet cake was fantastic.

Michelin star is deserved— vegetables are treated so tenderly and the food is just incredible. the service is also wonderful.
Gilt CitySeptember 21, 2011
For an intimate dining experience, private parties can sit downstairs in the cozy sherry cellar, which overlooks the kitchen’s operations. (Another tip: order the brioche bread pudding for dessert.)
Daniel PowellJuly 16, 2017
Really great food/experience, great seafood dishes and red meats, cool atmosphere and nice location by the museum
Village VoiceFebruary 1, 2013
Wait...the pastry chef put straight-up vegetables in a dessert!? But the Sticky Toffee Cake with Sweet Parsnips is sophisticated and delicious.
Jon B.November 25, 2016
The Thanksgiving Turkey was simply outstanding. Some of the best turkey that I have ever had, and I am no turkey fan!
Susan GrantJune 28, 2013
This is a great UWS restaurant (yes, there a few). Pricey menu, but the chef came from French Laundry, so the food doesn't disappoint. More romantic than lively.

Around the corner from the Museum of Natural History, Dovetail offers fine dining with amuse-bouches, rich seasonal gnocchi, and foie gras.
Lori LuoAugust 10, 2014
Dovetail offers some of the best fine dining available in the UWS, with an emphasis on market-driven plates from Chef Jon Fraser.
BravoNovember 11, 2010
Perfectly executed food and spot on service makes this restaurant a must visit. Plus pastry chef Vera Tongl’s Banana Pudding with Bacon Brittle is out of this world. -Zac Young, Top Chef Just Desserts

You know how some nice restaurants make you feel like a cheap jerk during restaurant week? Not Dovetail! The service is impeccable, the food delicious! Looking forward to dining here again.
Catherine DevineNovember 3, 2013
Been here 5+ times
Food and ambience are really excellent. Service had a number of significant hiccups that really surprised me for a Michelin starred restaurant. Will still be back but service did not meet expectations

Go for ravioli w/ wild greens, vegetable consommé, or monkfish in mustard sauce. Come Sunday for a bargain 3-course meal. – Green Guide Editor

N-Sider luxury favorite: Dovetail offers an extensive list, 25 to be exact, of Sherries imported from all over the world. The Fino, El Maestro Sierra from Jerez, Spain is one to pair with any meal.
Rebecca YiJuly 11, 2016
Boyfriend took me here for my bday. Def super upscale. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Worth paying for!

Divine vegetarian options. Quinoa and cauliflower never tasted so good.
Jill D.October 1, 2011
Best meal of my life... get the foie gras and popcorn ice cream. Chef even gave us a tour of the kitchen. Amazing wine and service as well.
Jeff JenkinsJune 6, 2015
The toasted oat ice cream is amazing and really tastes like what it is!
DanApril 6, 2016
The Raviolo, the Lamb Saddle, and the chocolate Rye Torte were the best parts of the tasting menu.
Maria NardoneMay 10, 2013
Wonderful food, service and ambience. New fava ravioli with morels is a hit. Halibut confit is signature favorite.
Stephanie JohnsonSeptember 19, 2011
Tasting menu was one of the best meals I have had in years. Cornbread is also to die for. They actually give you the recipe if you ask for it.
Chet ManciniNovember 9, 2015
The ambiance is awesome. Tables far apart allowing private conversations. Food is good if a bit unmemorable.
Jon B.November 27, 2016
Fabulous thanksgiving dinner. The turkey was some of the best I have ever had!
Jessica NgJanuary 26, 2014
The prix-fixed brunch was quite good. Perfect atmosphere to catch up with long-time friends
ThrillistAugust 2, 2010
The grub here's classic French, but spiced up w/ high & low American influences, while the décor merges elegant & modern trappings & jeans-friendly service. [NYC&COSRW, Lunch: $24.07 & Dinner: $35]

Fine dining on the upper west side with a strong vegetarian tasting menu.

Awesome restaurant week. Had the rabbit, was amazing, along with the hanger steak/beef cheek lasagna - amazing. The desset was the most amazing. Had the bread pudding, which was simply delicious
Amanda WilliamsMarch 28, 2015
Amazing for restaurant week. Definitely want to try the brunch too.

The steak and beef cheek lasagna is great!

The $32 fixed-price brunch begins with a basket of warm baked goods; next comes a plate of canapés, then the entree and finally a plate of bijou dessert bites. Read more
