Fun little place nestled in a wonderful space. Great atmosphere, and the food - fantastic. Highly recommend the blackened halibut, truly next level. They have outdoor seating as well, but it was summer and I am weak, so I chose air conditioned splendor. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.

I have only ever had fantastic meals at Dovetail, and last night they did it again! The food and service are always top tier here. It's truly such a gem in the neighborhood! If you visit Charlestown, make sure to stop in!

I eat the home-made spaghetti. Was a little on small side & could have done with more crab and garden peas. Best tasting part of the dish is the juices left over in the bowl at the end. Respectfully suggest a little bite of soft bread is provided to mop it up.
