 Dovetail Restaurant Review: The name of owner-chef John Fraser's restaurant is no accident: everything about the restaurant integrates fluidly. The warm space, painted in dulcet tones and quieted by carpeting, coddles visitors---including the occasional celebrity diner---from the moment they arrive. Fraser's cooking philosophy of focusing on ingredients and seasonality was influenced by traveling through France and Spain, and his creativity provides a fine foil for his classical technique. Appetizers are beautifully plated---a salad composed of slices of Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, Manchego cheese and Serrano ham resembles a savory still life. Entrées are on the hearty side, and tableside presentations are not uncommon. Seared scallops might be complemented by seasonal accompaniments such as pink grapefruit, salsify and Marcona almonds. It's tough to resist pastry chef Vera Tong's cheeky takes on desserts, like a peanut butter mousseline with prunes and foie gras ice cream. A cheese cart and Armagnac cart further enhance the experience. Amanda Reed oversees a wide-ranging selection of American and European wines and an impressive collection of sherries. Service is attentive and knowledgeable without hovering. |
