    到华盛顿的第一餐,选了稍正式点的西餐,正好这家在酒店附近,评分不错就来了。餐厅是饭店酒吧一体,外面有炭火盆,天气暖和在外面就餐很浪漫。餐厅很干净,音乐轻快轻松,店员服务很好。我们前菜点了虾肉鱼子酱魔鬼蛋,主食章鱼腿和三文鱼,都很美味,面包出乎意料好,啤酒点了清淡的,适合我们口味。

    We had a really nice time at Dove Tail. The food was good and the atmosphere was enjoyable. Definitely a solid spot for a meal out.

    Dovetail is a hidden gem. The cocktails were excellent, prepared by a bartender who clearly knows her trade extremely well. The food was, without exception, outstanding. (Had the weather been better we would have eaten on the very attractive patio.) Happy Hour (4-6) alone had some great and innovative choices (including an outstanding corvina ceviche). I can only conclude that the relatively few people eating there is due to the fact that it is not well-known. Well, it should be a LOT better known! Try it! You'll love it!

    Phenomenal spot in the heart of DC! Great food, creative drinks, and really wonderful people are the foundation of this place. Took a trip through DC just for the chance at getting fire roasted chestnuts (a rarity here in the states). Even though it wasn’t a night they typically have them, they still roasted it up just for me— and then gifted them to me free of charge for the wait. They had no idea I even came in from several states away just for Chestnuts. That speaks volumes to the care they have given to their customers. Come visit Dovetail, and you will not be disappointed! 10 out of 10!!!
