Dovetail Joint - Richland

The culinary highlight of our trip to Tri-Cities. we sat outside on the terrace and enjoyed great cocktails, friendly service and delicious food. the pita was huge and fluffy, both with the lamb and the hummus. highly recommended!

Not seating the whole party until everyone arrives, no refunds for ordered items, etc. these rules sour how I feel at the restaurant. It feels icky, elitist and uncomfortable. (I have never requested a refund for food. Just the existence of that policy is strange and off putting. The seating policy makes me avoid this place when joining friends for dinner. It's just awkward. Staff also feel stiff and unfriendly, for the most part. No one comes by to ask how things are at all. So, when the wrong drink was brought to our table, after five minutes of waiting for our waitress (or anyone to come by, we had to flag someone down. Not a big deal but not ideal, either. Chicken sandwich and fries come with no sauce for the fries. A little weird. So, we had to ask the girl bringing our food out who had to relay the request to our waitress who eventually brought us a tiny, tiny ketchup container. Not enough ketchup, but not worth flagging someone down and waiting for more. The food is decent some dishes are quite nice some are not great for the price or the portions are too small. The aforementioned chicken sandwich and fries would not fill up most people. Even with an appetizer, we felt it was too light of a portion for the price. Also, the couple drinks I've ordered have been strange. The spicy strawberry margarita, for example, smelled and tasted strongly of vinegar. Nothing in the ingredients suggested it would taste like that. I am putting this feedback here since no one at the restaurant asks about the meal for feedback (and I wouldn't dare to have them think I was challenging their rule about no refunds. They just might want feedback that their drink tastes spoiled?

Great local restaurant with a chic inside dinning and cute outside seating. I enjoyed the gumbo served with rice. Just the right amount of heat and flavor! The pizza was amazing as well. Great crispy dough with homemade dough and sauce! The service was great and attentive! I would highly recommend this local place!

This restaurant is one of my top choices for date nights in Richland. The food is always outstanding, the place is immaculate, and the staff is friendly and attentive. I appreciate the seasonal menu, which constantly offers a delightful variety of dishes, including excellent vegetarian and vegan options. Everything I’ve tried here—from appetizers to entrees, salads, desserts, and cocktails—has been both delicious and visually appealing (after all, we do eat with our eyes first!). I highly recommend making reservations on weekend evenings as it tends to get quite busy. Some of my personal favorite dishes are the arancini, hummus with pita and zhug, falafel on pita, and the mushroom taco (trust me, it’s amazing!).

I tried the spicy Korean taco (third picture), but it didn't really have the essence of a tortilla. I suppose tortillas are synonymous with salad shells? I also sampled a slice of my friend's pizza (first picture) and her authentic taco (second picture), but I wasn't as impressed as they were. Nonetheless, the overall experience at the restaurant was quite enjoyable.
