Had the most delicious gluten-free chicken, Caesar salad wrap here. They have lots of gluten-free options. And a lot of really yummy looking prepared foods in their shop. We took our food and sat outside on their lounge area, which is dog friendly. It was great.

Dovetail is the best! The food is amazing and so consistent and the staff are wonderful too!

Great brunch in a slightly out of the way place that makes it seem more intimate. Had great lobster rolls. Drinks looked great too! Nice that it's dog friendly

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 had a deeply upsetting experience at this restaurant. I was denied service without explanation, even as other customers—who arrived after me—were promptly seated and served and place was completely empty.The only difference seemed to be the color of my skin.

Discrimination, in any form, is unacceptable. No one should have to question whether they’ll be treated fairly because of who they are. I left feeling humiliated and unwelcome.

I sincerely hope the management reflects on this incident and takes real steps toward equity and inclusion. Until then, I cannot recommend this establishment to anyone who believes in respect, fairness, and human dignity.

The food was really quite good and the space was really nicely decorated. The only issue was trying to find a parking spot but finally found a parking lot a couple blocks away.

We were able to sit outside which was perfect for our 2 young grandsons. The brunch menu accommodated all the various dietary requests.

We had an amazing MarMon post race celebration dinner. Portions were appropriate and cocktail and wine selection excellent. The super Frenchy was amazing. Will definitely be back.

Overall nice quaint little spot in Charlestown!!!!

Lamb tartare served with potato chips was exquisite. The grilled halibut on a purée of cauliflower was wonderful. As usual, I give this a five star performance!

Melissa

Loved Dovetail! Cool ambiance, and incredibly friendly staff. Service and food were amazing. Mussels were delicious as an appetizer, and the halibut and skate special were fantastic! Excited to return in the warmer weather to enjoy the outdoor patio!
