We were staying in the hotel and decided to stop in for a quick bite and drink before our evening plans. What a hidden gem!
We got the hot honey chicken sliders, truffle parm fries, and the crab hush puppies. All absolutely delicious, especially the hush puppies. Happy hour prices here can't be beat for any city, truly a steal.
The staff were kind and courteous and allowed us to take a bottle of wine and the glassware up to our room for later. I got to briefly speak with the new manager who seemed excited about the opportunity to be there and I could tell that she and the team were passionate about providing quality food and service.
If you're staying nearby, don't miss out.

Very comfortable outdoor seating area. Stayed at the hotel and enjoyed dinner and breakfast here.
Food was surprisingly well made. Portion sizes are not on the large side. I usually associate hotel restaurants with inflated prices, this is not necessarily the case.
Service was good, but a bit scattered.

Dovetail absolutely blew us away! The Chesapeake oysters and crab deviled eggs were some of the best bites we’ve had in DC. Chef Gee’s Mid-Atlantic menu is creative and fresh — every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The outdoor patio is cozy and stylish, perfect for a relaxed dinner or weekend brunch. The cocktail program is outstanding; our bartender crafted something special just for us. Staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely made us feel celebrated. We’ll definitely be back for happy hour and to work our way through the rest of the menu. Highly recommend to anyone looking for elevated comfort food in an inviting, unpretentious setting!

Came in today to try some of the drinks and they were phenomenal. Axel did a wonderful job of introducing the drinks and ingredients (and I learned they created them)! I got the London Calling which was a beautiful purple drink. It came with a marshmallow with two flavors !! It was such a creative and unique drink (and did I mention beautiful?). I'll need to come back and try more of Axel's creations
My friends got some non-alcoholic drinks which I also tried. The Peaches & Spice had a yummy chamoy rim that complimented the drink for a fruity, but refined combo. The dirty martini was also customized to my friend's taste (extra olives haha). And the Lo Que Paso a Hawaii's caramelized coconut water was something that hadn't ever had before and realized I needed more of. Thanks for some of the best cocktails/mocktails I've had in a long time!
I also tried the Dovetail Burger which hit all the savory notes I wanted and came with a huge side of fries. Yum yum yumm
