We were driving through the area on our way back from a visit to the Niagara Falls. We looked up places where we the reviews... were high and had items on the menu we both liked. The moment we walked in The Dove had an air of propiety. We were asked ifwe had a reservation and we said no. The host said OK, I will need to set a table. We were seated and after a short wait ourwaitress stopped by and asked us for a drink, volunteering different types of alcohol. We passed and an her second stop sheasked us if we were ready to order. Like every new place I go, I ask the server what their personal favorite is. She gave me alist because everything was good. I asked her to please narrow it down to her 2 favorites, as I have never gone wrong with thisdirection. She narrowed it down to 2 and I picked the one she sounded most excited about. She got really upset with me andsaid, what do you want from me, I don't know what you like. My wife stepped in and said, he will eat just about anything, hejust wants your opinion of what is best. She grunted and said, I don't know what you want me to tell you. I ordered the PorkBelly special appetizer, pasta fagiol soup, and the shrimp and scallop in white wine and butter sauce. It is a small place andthe servers, bus boy and hostess seemed a little out of sync. The pasta fagiol came out and tasted mostly bland with a majorfocus on the beans. There was very little flavor and the server asked us if everything was OK. I told her that the soup wasbland and needed salt. She came back later and told me that she spoke with the chef and the chef said I was right and to thankme for the constructive feedback. The pork belly came out and the greens had good flavor but the fat had relatively no flavor. The meat had been overcooked. They delivered a house salad to my wifeè and had homeade French dressing. The salad had to bereturned and so did the soup. The server stormed away indignant with our responses and when the Read more

My fiance and I love the Dove so much that I decided to host my bridal shower there. It was amazing. The planning was easy,... Lisa and Sherry were great to work with and thought of everything. My shower had some last minute changes and they wereunderstanding and accommodating. Every guest raved about the food being absolutely delicious and plan to return. That says alot! The only pic I managed to get was my shrimp Caesar ???? but everyone loved the shrimp scampi, eggplant rollatini, andchicken parm! Definitely recommend for an event and of course dinner dining, the Dove always knocks it out of the park! Read more

They reuse the butter and wine you leave on the table after you leave. They don?t treat their employees with respect. If an... employee drops and breaks a dish that?s about to be served they just scoop it up and place it on a new plate and say ?this neverhappened, get it out there? and serve physically contaminated dish. Completely against the law. They make remarks towards theiremployees about their weight or imitate mentally challenged kids and the way they talk. It?s completely surprising that theyhave the good reviews they have and it?s surprising they?re still in business Read more

I love The Dove. Food is absolutely delicious. Reasonably priced. I love that they give everyone a meatball in sauce to be... able to try out their sauce. And the appertif in between the salad and meal is da bomb. Not many places include the soup ANDsalad with your meal. But they do. I absolutely love it their and can't wait to go back. Read more

Amazing experience! Course after course, delicious and authentic. My husband and I fought hard to save room for dessert, because... we knew it would be out of this world! Perfect for a first date, or a 50th date. Read more

Food was alright, however the atmosphere seems really outdated, and I felt out of place. Everyone there was in there sixties and... service was slow. the meatballs they give you in the beginning felt microwaved and bland. Read more

The bread is alright, the soup and salad were great and you get both with your meal! The Tuscana pasta I felt was alright, not... bad, but not excellent. I would return, not often, but I would return. Read more
