So last Monday I went to Dovetail (owned by Chef John Fraser) for their Monday Vegetarian Menu tasting (click for menu). I was taken there last July for my birthday for what I would say one was one of the best meals I have had. It was a amazing sampling of fish, pork (baby suckling pig), and vegetables. Since then they have taken over the space next to them and expanded. Adding a bar area and more tables. The place still looks great. I will say that it sounds a little loud in there now.
On February 20th 2008, then New York Times Food Critic Frank Bruni gave Dovetail a glowing 3 star review.
Back to Monday. So on Monday's they offer a 3 course menu for $38. There is a three glass wine pairing for an additional $28. The wines are all from NY State.
Here is what I had:
1) Escarole (haricot verts, chickpeas, anchovy vinaigrette)
2) fennel confit (bonito flakes, eggplant miso puree, kimchi)
3) gnocchi (basil, green garlic pesto, artichokes)
The food was great and the service very good. Dovetail is a gem of a place anywhere. But on the UWS is stands out.
Check it out!
Cheers,
