★★★★★ 5.0 Jake Riley · Jan 2026

DT burger was amazing. Wife liked her lobster roll as well but had a bite of my burger and wanted to trade. Got there right as it opened and had food within 10 minutes of ordering.

What a place! This cozy spot feels welcoming from the moment you walk in, thanks to the warm and friendly staff. The view of the humdrum in the kitchen adds a unique and lively touch to the overall experience. The menu is inventive with plenty to choose from. The food is flavorful, with a strong emphasis on texture that really stands out, especially in the appetizers where the crunch adds an extra layer of enjoyment. The attached store is another highlight, offering unique finds that go beyond a typical shop and are fun to explore. Highly recommend this place for a casual weekend dinner or for celebrating a special occasion that feels relaxed and comfortable rather than formal or stiff.

★★★★★ 5.0 Alberto Treviño · Jun 2025

We’ve been coming here regularly for the last four years. The food, the service and the atmosphere are all FIVE STARS. My favorite is the Pork Milanese for dinner (they do change it a bit but it’s always exquisite), but the steak, the pasta, the snapper, the bread (which is made fresh daily) are all excellent options!

Awesome meal @ Dovetail… Watermelon Gazpacho was incredible; great service, very gracious staff. Enjoyed our meal indoors, went outdoors for dessert.

★★★★★ 5.0 Shin Jang · Feb 2024

One of the best restaurants in Charlestown. Perfect place for both full dinner or couple of drinks with snack. Open kitchen with professional servers gave us a good impression of the restaurants. Mussel with wine was spectacular; it really got along with bread and we ended up ordering couple more side breads to finish the sauce. Fig sandwich was also great. This is a lively place, and you can't really go wrong with any menu choice here.
