First time there the food was great would recommend to anyone who is in Boston.
I reserved a table for 2 in case it was busy, as the bar is small. When I arrived, the bar was sparse, so we sat there. The bartender was attentive and pleasant. We both had the burger and it was wonderful! Juicy, flavorful and filling. The fries were hot and even crispy. We have been looking for a good burger since Hillstone closed years ago. I think we found it at Dovetail :)
The Chicken Milanese was very thin. Almost like a chicken chip. The cavatelli was very good! Our waiter didn't check in with us after our meal was delivered, we could have enjoyed a glass of wine.
