    Everything about Doves last night was truly uplifting. The service, the host, the food, and the atmosphere were all incredibly inspiring. Simply exceptional. I felt warmly welcomed from the moment we arrived until we departed the facility.

    I came for my birthday and it exceeded my expectations! I did come for the snapper but it was not available because they get their fish fresh from a fishermen, which I love. So I tried the Sea Bass and it was exceptional!!! I cleaned my plate. We also tried the shrimp, etoufee, beef sliders, calamari and ribs. Everything was a 10 out of 10z the servants were all exceptional and the manager stop at our table and checked in on us as well! We came early around 630pm so we were able to sit a little longer than expected but when the next party has arrived and you are past the time limit they politely reminded us and helped us. It was a great experience and will be back.

    The service was just as excellent as the food. DeVance was an excellent server and the experience from the hostess to the manager was awesome. The food was all very flavorful and the steak melted in my mouth. You need to make time to go to this restaurant!

    Our reservation was at 7:00 pm. We arrived at 7 and were immediately seated. The waitress was cordial. She offered suggestions about drinks, appetizers and food. We were sitting, eating our food and enjoying the restaurant when the waitress returned to the table at 8:16 and said that the reservation after us had arrived. We were shocked and confused. Like why are you telling us this. She said that each table is only allotted 1 hour and 14 mins. I was like huh?? Mind you there were other empty tables available. It killed the entire spirit of the evening. I looked at my reservation and in fine print it said that parties under 6 were allotted 1 hour and 30 mins. to dine. This is crazy to me. Needless to say, we paid our bill and left. Valet - The couldn’t find my friends car key. She finally walked to the car and found the key inside. So, they valeted her car with the key inside. They refused her to give her a refund or even a discount. Only apologies. The food was good, but I don’t think I’ll be returning.
