We made reservation a few days before Valentine's Day. Our server Erika was attentive and helpful with suggestions. The filet was the best I've ever had, like beef candy that melts in your mouth. The put-ups were good but had more rolls than pastes and spreads. Drink menu had me wanting to try one of each but had to drive. If the desserts were served first I wouldn't have eaten anything else. The cracked pie and orange buttermilk were addictive. So much so we went back a few nights later on Valentine's night and ordered desserts to go. Definitely will be returning again for special date nights. I was so focused on eating filet I forgot to take a picture but plating and presentation for all the dishes were very professional as in pictures. Thanks for a memorable date night.

My wife and I used to come here a lot when we lived in Locust Grove, but since 2023 we've moved 4 hours away. I traveled 4 hours away to get a hotel room for one night just to eat at Dovetail. As always their food was divine. The Chilean Seabass is absolutely delicious unlike any dish you've ever had. I had the Ribeye and it melts in your mouth. Honestly I never knew a steak could be cooked that well (not well done, just tender). We didn't have the cheese plate as usual and looking back i wished we did!! It is an excellent appetizer. I may have to move closer just to be sure I can come back more often sooner.

This is the most amazing restaurant I've ever been to that doesn't have a MICHELIN STAR RATING! The steak was the epitome of the perfect medium rare. The Dijon mustard mashed potatoes were an amazing compliment to the steak. The Brussel sprouts, and the desserts we had were amazing. I wish I would've taken more picture but I was so mind blown that this wasn't Michelin rated! I was so caught up in the service and the ambience that I could do nothing but imagine what all I was going to say for this review. This is the easiest 5 star review I've EVER given. EXTREMELY RECOMMENDED I WILL BE BACK FROM D.C. just for this!!!!!

I liked the atmosphere.
I spent over $160 here for 2 people. The food was tasty. I go to eat the left overs the next day and find someone else's hair in the pork belly. It definitely did not belong to me or the person I was with. Really gross. I wouldn't expect this experience from a fine dining restaurant. The lights were dim so I couldn't see any hairs while I was eating at the restaurant. So I very well may have eaten hair. I would have otherwise given 4-5 stars if it weren't for the hair in my food.

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would.
The consistency is unmatched. The service is always warm, attentive, and just gets it right every single time.
Must-orders: ✅ Filet ✅ The Put-Ups ✅ Bacon Jam (life-changing) ✅ Deviled Eggs ✅ Anything on the menu
Their cheese board is an every-time situation. It changes slightly each visit, which keeps it fun, but that bacon jam is the constant you can count on — and it’s always unreal.
We recently tried the special ribeye sandwich and I’m still thinking about it. Perfectly cooked and unbelievably flavorful.
This spot is a MUST. Make a reservation — you won’t regret it.

The swordfish was seasoned well and the portion was pretty good for the price you pay, though I feel like the temperature wasn’t even throughout the whole cut. The staff at the bar is incredible as well, they seem a little overwhelmed, but the cocktails are fantastic. The house white did leave me wanting
Had a private dinner for 10 people. Everything was excellent from the room, to the food, and especially the service! Kevin, the manager, Will, our room attendant, and all others treated my group professionally, efficiently, and attentively the whole evening! Looking forward to returning soon!

Great atmosphere, great service and delicious food! Came here for our anniversary and it was such a great experience!
If I could vote 10 stars I would ! The food was definitely delicious, on the pricey side but absolutely amazing!!!! Atmosphere was definitely nice, a bit upscale but not super over the top upscale. Now on to the service !!!!!!!! We did have a reservation set for our anniversary. From the moment we entered, we were greeted with the warmest welcome! They asked our name, and actually read the comments that I put online regarding our anniversary. I thought that was super thoughtful to actually acknowledge our anniversary. I’ve done that at other restaurants in the past and we weren’t acknowledged. From the hostess, to our wonder waitress Trinity, to the waiter that helped bring out the food, to the gentleman that I believe was the manager, literally EVERYONE ON STAFF WAS AMAZING !!! We are beyond thankful for a wonderful experience and we will be back!

We dined here for the first time 10/13/25 in celebration of my wife's birthday. The service was excellent and the food was great until a roach crawled out of the rice on our scallop plate. The food was comped after our third discussion with the manager. This was terrible bc it could have been a wonderful experience however a roach in your food is never okay and it took too much effort on our part to get the issue resolved.
