Kaci C.

On the right track, just needs a few tweaks to be perfect! 3.5/5 rounded up for heart. SETTING: Love the interior, with an open concept to the kitchen so it feels a bit like you're in the cooking experience. You can tell whoever designed the space has a good eye, branding everything with the dovetail symbol, including the gorgeous handmade pottery serving plates/bowls. SERVICE: Just ok. Our server was nice, but hardly present as she was slammed on a Saturday night. Really seemed like they needed at least one more server. FOOD: In our group of 5, everyone ranked the food at 3.5/5 and one 3/5. They're on a great track to have a great dining experience, you can see the intent is there - it's just needs some sharpening. The pastas were just ok, lacking in flavor. The pizza was 1/3 crust and doughy. My fish taco was very good, but just 1 taco for the order which I ordered as my entree... would have been nice to have that listed or been told by the server since fish tacos usually come in multiples. I order a Caesar whenever it's on a menu, I loved the grated parm, but the dressing was very mayo flavored, needed garlic, acid, something. That's a lot to harp on, but really I could tell the heart is there and I look forward to coming back again in the future, I could see this place being a solid dining experience!

Dinner time

Love the ambience here. Staff are SO friendly. Food.. where do I start! Freshly baked pipping hot pita bread did not disappoint. I had the falafel mezzah plate and got to choose two spreads and I picked baba ghanoush and hummus. Falafel was good to perfection, right amount of crisp and very flavorful .My husband had the lamb plate with yogurt and pepper spread. Both plates did not disappoint. Food was very fresh and right portion size was perfect. Not advertised are the dessert options, Donuts were yummy came with a banana sauce and we also had the strawberry shortcake . Both were yummy. Reservations are highly recommended as the venue is not big but always busy. Definitely a place we will revisit when back in the area.

Asparagus, meatballs and pita with sauces.

First off, fantastic service! The server took excellent care of us and really picked up on the vibes we had going. The room is well appointed with local art. Wine selection also is good. We enjoyed flatbread/pita, pizza, meatballs and asparagus. Very delicious through the entire meal. Will be coming back.

Very unique fusion of different cuisines! Ordered the Korean fried wings (very flavorful), warm and soft pita with fresh hummus, a singular Baja fish taco, linguine with clams, dirty fries with pork, and a Turkish Delight cocktail. Well worth the price!

fattoush salad (vegan) -- such interesting flavors! so good!
Shannon L.

Amazing place with vegan options! Upscale casual dining in the Tri-Cities that would fit right in in Seattle (and would thrive, people would love it, I would go all the time.) I was skeptical about finding any vegan options let alone delicious ones in the Tri-Cities, and Dovetail blew me away. From the mocktail made with Seedlip to the head of cauliflower on garlic sauce to the flavor-packed curry to the incredible staff and relaxed upscale vibe, it was amazing! We loved it and will definitely come back when we're in the area. I was really excited to try the African peanut curry I'd seen on yelp, but that was not the curry they currently have. But don't worry, it's that "coconut chickpea curry" and it is also incredibly tasty.

"I like the Caesar salad", says the 4yo.

Great food...maybe the best way to describe it is Mediterranean fusion? One of my favorite go-to spots in the Tri-Cities.

Is there a happy hour? If so, can someone post a menu?

I see two different sets of business hours re:YELP vs your website?

Hi! Yes, the Yelp page has our mobile kitchen info (as opposed to the restaurant), and I don't think they let us change the business. The business hours on Google, Facebook and our website are the accurate ones:…

Located on a convent curry corner near shopping Parking…read moremaybe difficult. They have a very large menus. Wait for tacos & fries was a little over 45mins & there was only a couple cars in addition to ours. Service person is short and seemed to be rushed or in a hurry ? I had high expectations as everything on the menu sounded good. Meat had no flavor, very bland, and greasy. Ate one tacos with salsa which wasn't tasty. Tried the second taco & fries hoping it would net better. Alas, wrong I was. I tossed the rest of the tacos and fries dish. Spend about $45 and didn't even enjoy the meal. Wish them the best, but food & service could be greatly improved. Wish I could have gotten my money back,

This used to be our favorite taco truck. Not sure what happened but the food & service are so under…read morepar we won't be returning. Ordered three items, one of which was a wet burrito. Received the driest burrito in the history of burritos! Surprised a wet burrito was wrapped in paper I tore off one end to find the only ingredients in the burrito very dry rice, beans & finely diced chicken. I returned to the truck and explained i had ordered and paid for a wet burrito. I was met with "oh, really." He took it from me, threw it in a pan, dumped some green sauce on it (not what I ordered), topped it with some cheese, warmed it and handed it back to me. Almost $50 for lunch for 2.
