Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: Inspired by the relaxed sophistication of California dining, this stylish spot embraces boho west coast vibes with its soft neutral tones and natural fabrics. Seasonal ingredients are the throughline of a playful menu that ranges from carne asada to spicy vodka pasta. After dinner, classic cocktails and a funky soundtrack encourage diners to hang out longer.

    Always a fantastic experience at Dovetail! The cocktails were exquisite and the bang bang shrimp were to die for. We were blown away at the Brussel sprouts our server recommended and were fighting over the remaining ones. We ended the night with their lemon tiramisu and had a fantastic time. We weren’t rushed, our conversation was great, had amazing service, and we will definitely be back!

    I had an amazing dining experience at Dovetail! The food was absolutely delicious—one of the best meals I've had in Vancouver in a long time. Every dish was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. The service was also excellent—friendly, attentive, and welcoming. I’ll definitely be coming back!
