Reviews for DoveCote Restaurant in Orlando, FL

Server was great Cole (I hope that’s his name) did a fantastic job making sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant was... clean, you can see the chef’s doing a great job. The reason why I’m giving it a 4 out of 5 is because the food was alright,I expected more for the price we paid. The French toast were nothing special, the salmon sandwich was okay. The onion soup andthe egg and cheese sandwich were good but again, nothing special. Read more

I was super impress with the whole package. This was high class service, exquisite food and the place/ambience was enjoyable and... with class. We visited during a girl's night out and the experience was excellent. We were able to make reservations and therewas minimal wait time. Our server, David, deserves high mention, he help us with our selections I drinks and food, he was superwelcoming and sevicial. There was parking for the restaurant which is a big plus when you visit downtown Orlando. We loved thechoice. Read more

The valet person was on point, it was raining and he was very helpful. We ordered the charred octopus and ham and cheese beignet... and the rabbit and filet mignon. The charred octopus was different but very tasty. The ham and cheese Beignets were very good.The rabbit entree is huge. But very tender and very tasty. My husband had the filet mignon he was happy with it. We've eatenplenty of fine dining restaurants across the country, this one left a little bit more on the table to be desired. We woulddefinitely go back just for the little less higher expectations. Read more

My friends and I went to this restaurant last night and we LOVED it! Service, food, drinks! Everything was great! We tried the... Magical Dining menu and it did not disappoint us! David, our server, was so friendly and knowledgeable when it came torecommending food and drinks! He was also so attentive! He was just AMAZING! We will definitely come back to this place! Read more

We went here for a girls dinner while visiting. Our service was great but on the slow side for food delivery. All the dishes... were tasty...we started with octopus and bacon wrapped scallops. Both were great for sharing and tasty. I had the sea basscheeks with broccoli rabe for my main. I really liked this dish. We finished with the creme brulee and Oreo surprise. The cremebrulee was good but the Oreo surprise was a bit strange. Didn't taste bad. Just a weird dessert. The cocktails were also great.I had the white linen and it was very well prepared. Read more

I recently came here for brunch. I was instantly impressed with the nice decor and friendly service. My party of 6 was seated... very quickly. The seats were comfortable as we waited for a server to take our order. After we ordered some appetizers. Itdidn't take long for them to come out. The beignet ham & cheese balls also the garlic eggplant dip want the favorite amongst thegroups favorite dish. The wings were plain fired wings. It wasn't bad, it just really didn't have that wow factor we werelooking for. For the entrees, I have to say I was quite disappointed. I ordered the steak and eggs with potatoes. For startersthe meal came out near cold. 2nd the steak that comes with the meal is approximately 3 to 4oz. It's a very small piece of steak.Not to mention a friend in my party of 6 ordered the same meal. (Our steak was cut in half to serve them and myself.) The eggs &potatoes are ok. Overall I wasn't impressed spending $30 for that meal. I've had more flavorful steak for just about the sameamount spent here. As for my friends, they're also very disappointed with their meal and how near cold it came out. 1 friendhad duck and waffles. They had issues with the choice of syrup they used on the waffle. It was very bitter and didn't pair atall with the waffle nor duck. Other dishes were just not very tasteful and we just couldn't finish our meals. At the end of itall, I wouldn't personally recommend going here. Even though the place was not crowded. I believe they can do better in myopinion. For me this was not worth it. Read more

A friend of mine recommended this restaurant so last Sunday I decided to give it a try. The atmosphere and ambiance was... amazing. It was raining so we decided to sit inside. We were promptly seated and shortly after we ordered our drinks we weregreeted by Tammy who was the manager. Very friendly and engaging she asked how our visit was thus far. We let her know so fareverything was great and that it was my first time dining there. A short period later she arrived with some delicious beignetscompliments of the chef …and wow were they delicious! For my main breakfast I ordered the egg sandwich and my friend orderedthe eggs Benedict with crab cakes. I was very impressed by both the presentation and flavor …and the service was excellent. Will definitely be back, probably for dinner as the menu looks very enticing. Read more

I was promptly seated by the owner, who took the time to explain their menu and that everything is cooked fresh from... scratch. The grilled octopus was phenomenal with a complexity of flavors that meshed together extremely well! Their menu seemedto have some French inspired cuisine, which made my day. I wish they had snails or some more traditional things but they hadduck??! Great place, respectable owner, attentive staff… excellent coffee . I will return, this was my first time. Read more
