We stayed at the hotel. One morning we went for brunch. We ordered the omelette and chicken and waffle. Food was delicious, but I would definitely go back for the chicken and waffle. The chicken was fry to perfection and very juicy/flavorful!
We also had drinks almost every night we were there. Mocktails were great, old fashioned and martini were delicious. It was nice to sit by the fire in the evening. It really creates a nice vibe!

We stayed at the viceroy hotel, and originally only went to dovetail to use a credit. We were pleasantly surprised by both the food and service. So much so, that we went back for a happy hour before we left. The food is slightly above average, and it is a great option for American fare.
