DoveCote Restaurant

Came here for Magical Dining. Angeles was our wait staff at the bar and for dinner. Very nice young lady with great recommendations. The atmosphere was awesome. They even have outdoor seating. Recommending to my friends for both Happy Hour and Dinner.

Was excited and looking forward to eating at this establishment. To bad we left underwhelmed. The atmosphere is nice. Empty for a Saturday night though. The service from Angele’ and staff was point on. The cocktails were good but pricey. The ham and cheese beignets were very yummy. Only complaint was 5 of them for 2 of us 6 would of been better😀. My blackened Cobia fish dinner was very good overall. It did lack some blackening as I feel most dishes have that I have eaten. My wife had the short rib dish. It came out looking good but more than half of it was fat.(red circled area). The sauce was to salty and overpowered the dish as did the salt in the mashed potatoes. Nothing on point about this. I would of sent it back but she isn’t that way. Kinda ruined the night for her. For the money spent we can think of way to many places to frequent instead was her words.

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. It didn't take long for them to come out. The beignet ham & cheese balls also the garlic eggplant dip want the favorite amongst the groups favorite dish. The wings were plain fired wings. It wasn't bad, it just really didn't have that wow factor we were looking for. For the entrees, I have to say I was quite disappointed. I ordered the steak and eggs with potatoes. For starters the 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 same amount spent here. As for my friends, they're also very disappointed with their meal and how near cold it came out. 1 friend had duck and waffles. They had issues with the choice of syrup they used on the waffle. It was very bitter and didn't pair at all with the waffle nor duck. Other dishes were just not very tasteful and we just couldn't finish our meals. At the end of it all, I wouldn't personally recommend going here. Even though the place was not crowded. I believe they can do better in my opinion. For me this was not worth it.

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 to recommending food and drinks! He was also so attentive! He was just AMAZING! We will definitely come back to this place!

We came for lunch. The location and decor are very good, old hotel charm which I love. The tortilla soup was delicious. The lobster roll was so good. We had the creme brûlée and I had a cocktail. All were delicious. I loved the atmosphere, soft music. It makes you fell as if you are on vacation. The bar looks good for a friday or weekend night. The service was very good. Parking was free and convenient. I would highly recommend for a nice quiet intimate lunch. Also good for business, lunch date i enjoyed it. And they treated Peggy ( our 6 lb -15 yr old toy yorkie) very well.

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 were greeted by Tammy who was the manager. Very friendly and engaging she asked how our visit was thus far. We let her know so far everything was great and that it was my first time dining there. A short period later she arrived with some delicious beignets compliments of the chef …and wow were they delicious! For my main breakfast I ordered the egg sandwich and my friend ordered the 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.

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 bass cheeks with broccoli rabe for my main. I really liked this dish. We finished with the creme brulee and Oreo surprise. The creme brulee 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.

Everything was amazing…the happy hour was a hit and the food was outstanding. Our waiter, John, was great and the service in general was top notch. We will definitely be back.

I had the most phenomenal magical dining experience here at DoveCote! From the moment we got to this place, they were very welcoming and attentive to our needs throughout our whole time here. The service, ranging from the host and our server, Raz, was impeccable. The ambiance was classy and timeless. First course: Hands down the best beef carpaccio I have ever had! I think what makes this dish really stand out, was surprisingly the bread. Usually, restaurants would just have normal toasted bread accompanying the dish, but this dish had exceptional bread. It was very buttery and just paired well with the beef. You can tell that they are very attentive to details! Second course: Truffled Chicken Breast. The chicken breast was very tender and in a gravy like sauce. The mash potatoes were both creamy and chunky, a great texture. It was filled with lots of asparagus too! Dessert: Classy Crème Brûlée! Very sweet and reminded me of why I love crème brûlée so much. Perfect last dish to top the night off. To end the night off, the lovely host decided to hand out extra white roses from a wedding dinner that was taking place that night. I would highly recommend going here for an unforgettable experience, would definitely return here. 10/10 (Something to note: They have a complimentary small parking lot towards the back, and they will validate your ticket if you parked in the nearby parking garage.)

Came to eat at DoveCote for brunch & the spot is lovely!! There's complimentary parking in the garage (just ask to get it stamped) and it leads right to the lobby of the restaurant. Perfect for the rainy day it was. I really liked how they had a daily fresh pastry (day of was fresh banana bread) and it was great in taste & texture! The mimosas were lovely and flavored. You're able to order a pitcher for the table. So thumbs up!! Unfortunately, the temperature in the restaurant was sooooo warm!! Warm that everyone was sweating and fanning themselves in the table. We were told by our waitress that "the air is controlled by the business owner and they were working on it" When what looked like the manager came to our table to ask how everything was, instead of apologizing she just sort of stated "Yeap it's broken. We called business engineer at 9am". By the time the food came, all we can think of was the heat.... Burger was okay! A little too well done & the breakfast potatoes were pretty regular too. Although I enjoyed my meal, it was nothing out of this world! Prob not the place I'd go out of my way for

I was underwhelmed by dovecote. I used to enjoy their happy hour years ago but I recently ate their for brunch and felt like I should have just gone somewhere else. For the price of brunch, you have limited options. I did enjoy the shrimp and prime rib but I left disappointed. For $40 you can go to the JW Marriott for their brunch buffet which blows Dovecote out of the water. I also think it's unacceptable a brunch buffet has included gratuity. Not only do you pay $79 for the brunch but that does not include tip. It was priced poorly. No juices, teas, coffees are included in the $80 brunch.

Came here for my friends birthday brunch. I had a peartini and an egg sandwich. The peartini was okay. Wasn't awful but wasn't amazing either. The egg sandwich was really good! Came with bacon and potatoes. I really enjoyed that. Our server was nice and patient. The place is a bit small but it has a nice looking environment. I would give it another try.

If you're looking for a more upscale place to have Sunday brunch, this is somewhere you should consider if you're in the downtown Orlando area. There is complimentary parking in the garage where the restaurant is located, so that was very convenient. Just make sure you get your parking ticket validated by the hostess before you leave to receive the comped parking. The menu had an array of items and depending on what your mood was, there was something for everyone. All of the items my party ordered looked and tasted delicious. We also ordered the "pitcher" of mimosas and got to choose from several fruity syrups and orange juice to mix at our leisure. I ordered the bananas French toast, another person ordered a salad and the other ordered a Caesar salad with shrimp. There was dining inside the restaurant and also seating just outside the restaurant, but still located in doors (in the lobby of the building). I believe this was the old Bank of America building? Anyway, service was friendly and prompt. We made a reservation on open table and would 10/10 recommend! 10/10

Dropped by for drinks at the bar. Bartender was very attentive and made me feel welcome. Drinks were good. Mojitos are customizable! We ordered the coconut mojito and it was strong. The strawberry fresca was refreshing and light. Place felt a little more upscale than your average restaurant bar.

I came here for my friend's birthday brunch. It was about 11 of us today. Our server was super friendly and very accommodating. She helped us when we needed suggestions from the menu. The brunch menu was pretty straight forward. Everyone enjoyed their meal. I started with the octopus because if octopus is on the menu I'm gonna have it lol. Now for my main course I had the salmon eggs Benedict with a side of potatoes. It was pretty good. If I'm back in the Orlando area I would stop again for brunch.

This restaurant is hic and elegant, perfect for a date night. The food is good. I was impressed with the eggplant dip served with fresh out of the oven baguettes. You can ask for more baguettes for a small additional price of $3.00. We came here mostly for the Bite30 menu. However, the Lamb chops were added in addition to the special menu. They offer a full service bar. Parking is just around the corner from the restaurant, and it's complimentary, ook for the signs with the restaurants name.

The smoked old fashioned turned into a regular one since the smoker was busted and the Brussels sprouts were salty and the service was a tad slow during happy hour but the crab cakes were good. The eggplant was outstanding honestly the best I've had In years. The carpaccio was very good but such a small portion. The short ribs were salty too and a bit tough which was honestly a disappointment. I didn't try the oysters but they looked good. The octopus came on a bed of guac which was interesting and tasted fine but not something I'd feel the need to return for. All in all it's a nice atmosphere and they really try their best to provide top notch services. I'd definitely come back for the eggplant that's for sure and the Malbec wine.

Came here for brunch with friends and was really impressed with the service and cocktails. The food was pretty good too. The ambiance was nice but needed to be a bit livelier in my opinion.

DoveCote was overall an odd experience for brunch. The location has a upscale feel when you walk in, but from the second we sat down that went out the door. Our server was friendly, but went a little overboard in trying to be our "friend." I thought at any moment he was going to pull up a chair and sit down, which wouldn't have been wanted. He was slightly forceful in our drink orders when we asked for recommendations rather than listening to what we were interested in. The food wasn't bad, but wasn't anything special. I got the breakfast sandwich. The drinks were fine, but not good enough for the price. Do not get the Paloma, it was extremely subpar. Originally wanted to try their happy hour, but I have no interest in returning.

I have been here several times but my last 2 experiences were not the best. We came for Bite30 while the food was good the service was not. Our waitress was new so it wasn't really her fault but to be sitting at your table for close to 15-20 mins and not be acknowledged is not cool. I know understand the day we picked was quite busy but just a simple glass of water would have made a difference. Now onto the food. To start I ordered the ham beignets; they were a tad bit too salty for me but not bad. My main dish was braised short ribs with mashed potatoes. It was delicious, the short ribs were well seasoned and super tender. I almost wanted to lick the plate (joking). I think the main dish was the best part of the dinner. The dessert was okay.. nothing exceptional.. the Oreo surprise. I actually didn't care for it that much quite frankly. I am not sure I will be going back anytime soon because of the service.

I visited recently for a baby shower brunch. The shrimp and grits was delicious. I also enjoyed the macarons and French toast. The mixed drinks were just okay for me. I didn't order a drink that I'd like to have again. Great atmosphere. Our event was out on the patio and it ended up being a great day for it. The interior is nice as well.

Liked the place, it was quiet (Monday night, right?), with very good service (waitress was extremely pleasant), and I enjoyed their food. Had a nice customized Greek salad (baby greens, olives, pepperoncini, cucumber, tomato, feta, herb vinaigrette, croutons, dill lemon potatoes), which was perfect to get my appetite raised. For main course I chose fish of the day - sea bass on risotto! Excellent choice, I enjoyed every piece of it!

The food was delicious. The service was decent and the vibe was very chill. I will definitely be returning here to eat.

This restaurant located downtown offers parking right behind the building. It's convenient on a Saturday night. It's nice, relaxing with music playing through out our dinner. The inside part of the restaurant is louder and conversations take over. We were seated right outside but still indoors by the Coffee bar. It's still a nice area, not as loud and we could enjoy conversation with nice music. This place was recommended for the cocktails but we decided to try dinner as well. We started with a Dove 75 which just looks beautiful and tasted great too. One was enough. I also had a Blueberry Mijito. Not impressed. No fruit at all and it tasted like it was just a mix of syrups. As an appetizer we order the mussels. It had garlic bread on top and the sauce was very tasty. The Baby Kale Salad was a generous portion. The pieces of butter squash were bland and hard. We finished with Short Ribs. Also generous portion. I could not eat it all. It was a a little too salty for my liking. The mashed potatoes were good. Our waitress was very attentive and polite. She was patient with all of your questions and delay at ordering. Great service.

I've always wanted to try this place out for brunch! To start things off we had a pitcher of mimosa which was served in a cool St. Germain carafe (sparkling wine) with orange juice on the side. You have an option between orange/cranberry/pineapple/strawberry juices! So you can mix and match if you'd like! For my meal I had the Egg sandwich which was larger than expected, but I came hungry so I absolutely inhaled it all hahaha! I'd highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a atmospheric but laid back experience! A tip for parking - the previous garage is under construction but DoveCote has designated parking spots behind the building for free. If those are full there is cheap metered parking next to the lot that takes coin or card!

Awesome awesome place! Upscale ambience and featured a separate coffee bar. Has a huge bar area w/ an oyster bar. On the other side is the dining area. On the outside is a remarkable courtyard. I was actually there to attend a caribbean Breakfast fete. For this event was Caribbean food and other cruise - the fish and grits was to die for. The food was delightful! The manager, w/ his young handsome self was very engaging to his "well oiled machine". Everything worked well. This was a special event, well put together and I will be back (I'm from out-of-town). I'm sure on a regular basis it has everything any good patron w/ a pleasing palate and penchant for good food and ambience would love!

I came here for brunch with my friends and I expected a lot more from this place. My eggs benny were cold which makes a huge difference. The service was good but the food needs a vibe check. Not my fav.

Craft cocktails are on point! Our server, Cole, made a drink called violet rain, which he described as "spa in a glass."

GREAT GREAT GREAT SPOT! A must! Spectacular brunch and beautiful inside! Chris and Casey were AMAZING! From coffee to drink to food it's a must if you live in Orlando or are visiting. We will be back for sure!!!

Came for magical dining. The food was excellent but unfortunately our service put a damper to what would've been a great experience. The good: the smoked wings were excellent. Perfectly cooked. The skin was crispy and meat was juicy and flavorful. Steak frites was my main course. The meat was well marinated and seasoned. The fries were a perfect shoestring crisp! We were sat close to the open kitchen and enjoyed watching the food being prepared. The bad: The service was lackluster. Throughout service, our waiter did not seem organized and only interacted with us in a rushed manner. He delivered my wine and took another 15 minutes to deliver my wife's drink. It took two hours from appetizer to main course and he still didn't deliver our dessert. He didn't check on us and I had to flag him down to ask for the check and get our dessert to go. He of course delivered the wrong dessert which caused another delay for us leaving. Other guests at a different table had to stand up and take their check to the host because the waiter was taking too long. I have no idea how service was organized cause he was making drinks at the bar even though there was a bartender there who was not busy. I totally understand that the food industry is suffering a bit and hate to write "bad reviews" but these practices can not be good for business. I hope they get their organization better and improve their service. I would come just for the steak frites, but not for it to last for 3 hours!

We just came back from vacation and wanted to experience French food again! We went to this place and we felt like we went back to Paris! Food and service was very good! I'll share what we ordered and all were good

This is a very generous 3. I have wanted to visit for brunch for a while. A friend decided to go for her birthday and I did my usual prescan of the menu. I know this is a popular brunch place and that promoters host brunch here but this particular Sunday was chaotic. We started of waiting in the front lobby where people from the hosted brunch and restaurant brunch were all packed in confusion. We had a 12:30 res and weren't seated until 1:15. Not just us but many other tables were waiting so I didn't take it too hard. Our server was nice and did his best so I don't hold him accountable for the fiasco that followed. We orders our food pretty promptly. I started of great with the most delicious croissants and this saved the day for me as it was the bulk of what I was able to eat. Someone in our party ordered the eggplant dip which was surprisingly delicious. We also ordered the cheddar biscuits 2 orders and they were brought out differently. The order comes with 2 so when we got the first 2 it was just biscuits on a plate. This wasn't an issue until we got the second order and they came out warm, garnished with chives, and served with butter. One of our party member asked to send back the ones that came out plain and cold after taking a bite of one. A server (who was not our server) said I'll take them but you'll have to pay since you are half it was so rude that it was funny but was a sign of what was to come. Our food didn't come out until about 2:15. 3 people ordered shrimp and grits and I ordered the sandwich. I can't speak to the shrimp and grits except that the grits were congealed which of course is a sign of grits that have cooled significantly. What I can speak to is my chicken sandwich and the way it came out . It was so overcooked that the chicken was dried out completely. I was in shock that a kitchen would even send that out. I can tell it probably would have been good and the fries were delicious but at this point the experience was in the gutter. I did ask for a manager because I do believe that anyone would be disappointed to see this come out of their kitchen. After speaking to 2 managers? Another person who seemed to be most senior came over to investigate. I was not eating the sandwich but he poked at the sandwich on my plate in front of me which was really weird, but he did take it off so thanks I guess. They also kept asking if we were there for the brunch event which was off putting because it seemed to be assumed because we were black. I hope that was not the case but we were sitting close enough to other tables and it just kept happening to us. I think the place was just very overwhelmed that day but that's restaurant life and you would think a place that hosts brunch events regularly would be better prepared. If I ever go back I would stick to pastries and coffee which is supplied by Foxtail.

Atmosphere: unique, trendy, modern I'm you're going for drinks, great setting and just a slight away from all the hustle bustle that you'll find closer to church street - so that's a plus for me. Parking can be confusion, I recommend calling if you're not sure where exactly you should park - hence the 4 stars. I ordered the steak/frittes. They didn't mess up the steak, which I ordered mine med rare. Toss in two doubles of Elijah Craig and it made for a great night!

Wow, after walking past this place so many times to go to clubs downtown and even interning at the courthouse after a while it was meant for me to come to this place. So one morning a friend of mine decides to go to brunch and she selected this place just a block away from where I live, so we went here for brunch and that's when somethings somewhat went left. For a Sunday brunch, I was surprised that many things were missing off their menu. I can't recall what it was but it was quite embarrassing because it basically left us with but so many options to select from. I decided to go with the breakfast sandwich with fries and I can't lie it was quite delicious, my friend went with a chicken sandwich and another friend of mine went with the salad. Thank God we were all actually very happy with what we had, but I was even more disappointed I just the options and why on a Sunday so many things were depleted on their menu. However I'm thinking most of these restaurants reviews come from The dinner menu and that may be The time of the day that I need to return to this restaurant, I want to give this restaurant a better review honestly and I will come I may be a Friday to try it out again.

There are much better places downtown than DoveCote. It's a shame, because the location is beautiful and there's a lot of potential. Unfortunately, service at the bar is abysmal. Tonight's bartender (I think her name is Natalie), probably doesn't belong behind the bar. She was weeded with a half-full bar and then needed serious help when it hit 2/3 full. Service was slow, the drinks were just ok, and the food was lackluster. I went with the French onion dip, which was very watery, although the chips were made fresh to order, which was surprising. Next, I ordered the oysters. Natalie didn't know what type of oysters they were, and after asking, told me that they came in yesterday. They most certainly did not come in yesterday and I'm seriously afraid that I might get sick from them. But, that's my fault for ordering oysters here. After that, I had the rabbit, which was admittedly quite good, albeit for $54, I was expecting a bit more. With the rabbit, I had a side of creamed spinach, which was good. I definitely will not be coming back here, which h is a shame considering the potential the place has. EDIT: Dropping a stad because no utensils were included with my to-go order (which was sitting around for like 10-15 minutes before it was brought over to me).

I've had DoveCote bookmarked for a while now, so my husband and I decided to make a reservation for my birthday. There are a lot of things to enjoy about the DoveCote, but some areas fell a bit short of expectations. Starting with the positives: - Parking was super easy (which can always be challenging in downtown). There's a small outdoor parking lot, garage parking (which you can get validated), and valet parking. - The service was impeccable. Our waiter was very kind and attentive. We definitely didn't feel forgotten here. - I absolutely loved my cocktail, the Penicillin, so much that I forgot to take a good photo of it! The flavors were very well balanced and the smokey flavor added a nice richness to the drink. Where improvements can be made: - The food. What can I say about the food? This is an American-style restaurant with French influences, and it's almost forgettable. It's not great, and it's not terrible. It tastes fine, but doesn't stand out positively. I ordered the Grilled and Chilled Octopus, French Mussels, and Chocolate Mousse. My husband had the Magical Fridays pre-fixe menu: Ham and Cheese Beignets, Steak Frites, and Oreo Surprise. I don't recommend the Grilled and Chilled Octopus. Octopus, when paired with the right ingredients and prepared well, can taste amazing; it has a tender texture and a light taste, and takes on the flavor of what it's served with. I don't think the avocado added anything of note to the dish and the soft texture of the avocado took away from the chewy texture of the octopus. These two light-flavored and textured ingredients did nothing for each other. My French Mussels were fine. I appreciated the chorizo as it added a nice bit of spice to the dish. If you order it, I recommend asking for hot sauce as the dish really pops when you add an acidic component. However, because they put the bread in the covered bowl, the toasted bread somehow ended up feeling and tasting stale and doughy. They should serve the bread on the side to keep the toasted crunch and flavor. The Chocolate Mousse was also great. It was very rich, creamy, and decadent. My husband felt the pre-fixe menu was a good deal. He enjoyed the Ham and Cheese Beignets, but recommends sharing them; they're super tasty, but can get heavy after awhile. His steak was cooked well, though a bit under-seasoned, and the shoestring fries tasted amazing. He also enjoyed his Oreo Surprise. If you're an Oreo-lover, it's an awesome dessert. Overall, we felt that DoveCote definitely put in the effort to create a good menu, but some parts just weren't executed well. We paid over $100 for our meal, and if the food had been more memorable, it would absolutely be worth it. - I feel like the interior has a lot of potential. The space is huge and feels like you could seat a lot of people without the restaurant feeling overcrowded. There's even an outdoor courtyard and I believe you can rent out the space for events. However, the look and atmosphere of the restaurant doesn't feel cohesive and follows no clear vision. Were they aiming for that classic Parisian style or a French bistro look? I don't know. The final result feels disconnected and contrived. It also feels dated and some of the chairs look like they were from the 80s-90s (and not in a cute way). You can tell they put in the effort, but it just didn't meet the mark. Also, this is very much a personal thing, but I don't really like non-fabric placemats; I would prefer no placemats at that point. For one, it's really hard to clean those plastic/metal woven placemats well; you wipe them down, but there's no way to clean all those tiny crevices. Secondly, no amount of wiping makes them feel clean either; they're always slightly sticky. I think the DoveCote is aiming to provide a nice dining experience and, overall, it's ok; I feel like they have the potential to be a lot better. I wouldn't be averse to coming back, and if a friend suggested the DoveCote for dinner, I wouldn't say no -- but I might recommend other options.

This place was so nice inside! Definitely hard to find because it's inside of a big building but there were signs of help you out. We waited for a little bit and had 3/4 servers walk right past us before anyone greeted us but once we sat down our bartender was great! The Paloma was AMAZING, very tangy which is good for me, I love sour drinks. The chicken slider (not plural, only 1 slider) was pretty good and only $8. We also got chicharrones which tasted almost like they were taken from a regular bag and tossed in seasoning. I don't think they were fresh. Overall 4 stars because the drinks were really good, and the food was cheap for happy hour.

The best bread I've ever had.... The end! No but really.... the first time we ate here is was 5 stars. They recently changed their menu and the taste of their food changed. Please bring back the old menu and recipes. Food had way more flavor before. And they got rid of the bread with roasted garlic which was a travesty. Service was impeccable as always.

I am new to the area and my husband and I are trying out new restaurants. I was highly disappointed in this place and to be honest I really don't go to restaurants with super high expectations but hope for a good experience overall especially for the pricey restaurants like this one. I ordered the filet mignon (medium) with Brussel sprouts and my husband ordered the burger (medium). They were both over cooked. Besides the steak being over cooked it wasn't flavorful either. The brussel sprouts were good. My husband was starving so he ate his burger...our dog will enjoy the steak so it won't go to waste :) I wished we would have checked out the happy hour at the bar I probably wouldn't have been as disappointed with our $150 bill. I must say that a gentleman (maybe the manager) came over to our table and ask how our food was and he did offer to cook another steak or a dessert but by this time we were over it and just wanted to be done after we both worked a long day. So they get a star for trying. In addition to the disappointing meal the ladies bathroom was absolutely disgusting.

Came in 1 hour before close and was denied .... Passssssss on any future returns Owner greeted us and was no help lol

Really nice, it's sooo pretty and the food was bomb. I went here for brunch once and the atmosphere is perfect. I had a lobster roll I believe which was very yum. The drinks here are awesome too. I recommend!!!

If you are in downtown Orlando you must visit this refined French-inspired brasserie.

Worst service. Food was not great for the price. Ended up paying 203 dollars for 3 meals and 3 drinks. How??? Bc they charged me 34 gratuity and 9 dollars for water that I didn't even ask for. Don't do brunch here. Save your money. It was just three of us. Oh yeah and 18 dollars parking wtf!!!

My party of five black professionals and I were discriminated against at this restaurant. We were asked to leave because we were there longer than 1.5 hours. We had paid a bill of approx $600 dollars and ordered more items which the owners son canceled because he wanted us to leave. Note, a table of 8 white patrons there for more than 1.5 hours next to our table were never spoken to about leaving. The police were called but they understood our position and no actions was taken. The owners son wanted us trespassed. Other black patrons shared with us they were treated similarly that night.

This place was absolutely delicious and the service was great! Definitely recommend the salmon want to return and try out their brunch menu.

We went here with 9 of my family members, so there were 10 of us. As we were checking in the hostess was quite nice but the manager decided to step up and be rude for absolutely no reason. I had a few choice words with her and she did not seem to care. I proceeded to explain to her that you do realize that most restaurants get most of their patrons based on reviews, once again she did not care. If it weren't for the fact that we were there for brunch and then headed to the amway for a show we would have just left. The food was good enough, one of our meals ended up being burnt and they did not comp it even though we did not want that particular food item anymore. I eat out often and by far this was a pretty bad place to eat simply due to the manager being very rude at the very start. I do not recommend anyone eating here.

Decided to make a reservation for this place for brunch. Reviews looked good and it looked like a kind of fancy place to have a get together with my ladies. We were seated right away. I noticed there weren't any linens on the table and the tables were worn looking and wobbly. Service was very good. We got appetizers.. Brussel sprouts, cheesy fries, and ham beignets. The brussel sprouts were tasty but a little toothsome. The ham beignets were delicious but there were croquettes and not at all like a beignet. The fromage fries were my favorite thing. The cheese they used was so rich and delicious. I was pondering the duck and waffles and the server said I could exchange the duck for chicken which I did. My cousin got the shrimp and grits and my friend got the omelette. We also got a pitcher of mimosas with orange and passion fruit juice. The mimosas were very good. As for the omelette, my friend said it was pretty good. My chicken and waffles was kind of subpar. The chicken was ok, we'll cooked and seasoned, but the waffle was very disappointing. It was very tough and dense.. the exact opposite of what a waffle should be. No amount of the maple butter could help it. My cousin did not eat any of her shrimp and grits. It was very very salty. We let the waiter know about the shrimp and grits and it was obvious that she didn't eat anything from the plate but a bite. The manager came by and said she would take off half of the price off of the dish. We didn't contest but I don't think she should have even paid for half when she ate none. So, this wasn't my fave place for brunch but the service was good and the mimosas were good too.

Went for our anniversary and Magical Dining. I have been wanting to come here after seeing the yummy drinks on IG. For MDM I ordered the ham & cheese beignets and my husband the wings. Both are apps you will want to try. My fav were the wings. Full size wing with a delicious dry rub. The beignets we're warm melty ham & cheese goodness. My husband ordered the filet and I ordered the Croque. His steak was probably 4oz and seemed small, but with everything else it was just enough. My Croque on the other hand was as big as my head. The Croque was a pork sandwich with cheese melted. Good, but I won't get it again simply because of size. The inside is beautiful, ornate and bright with colors. Lovely for our anniversary.

We've been meaning to try Dove Cote for quite some time. We had reservations tonight. Sadly, we still haven't tried Dove Cote. And now I'm perfectly ok with that. We arrived right on time for our reservation, only to be told that the "kitchen is backed up and we aren't seating anyone right now". Strange. Ok. We looked around for a place to sit, then saw ourselves to the bar. We sat at the bar, adjacent to the open kitchen for easily 5 minutes before the bartender approached us. This gave me a lot of time to observe the kitchen. I am a retired chef, and I can tell you, good things weren't coming out of that kitchen tonight. My drink came, finally. I love a good Moscow Mule. This tasted like lemonade, nary a hint of ginger. At this point, I decided there was no way we were waiting around to spend in excess of $100 on dinner. I understand this used to be a great restaurant. What a pity.

One star is generous. Awful service, overpriced, terrible food, rude manager. We'll never return. Absolutely we DO NOT recommend it

Waiter was exceptionally nice. Octopus platter was absolutely tasty and delicious. Baba ghanoush was outstandingly fresh and couldn't stop eating it. My salmon dinner was very tasty and filling. My boyfriend's chicken dinner was alright, he said the chicken was a little over cooked but its better to be over cooked than undercooked. Drinks were on point. We had a great time, check them out.

The food,service and ambiance were all incredible!!! Raz (I hope that's how you spell his name) was hands down best server I've had in a lonngggg while . He was very knowledgeable of the menu and wine which helped me out a lot because I have a picky boyfriend!! To say the least Raz hit every point of service. 10/10 ask for his signature drink "the Lorenzo". It's fantastic! Especially if you like brandy !!

Very disappointed !!! I took 2 bites of my tasteless Coq au Vin. My wife ordered mineral water and they poured Mexican mineral water in a French restaurant.

Great food, really pretty ambiance. Service is great. Always a good choice for dinner.

Dove Cote definitely stands out because of the deliciously tasting food. The service was great, they have complimentary valet and I enjoyed the selections from the NYE menu. I'd be happy to recommend to a friend and try their brunch in the future. Loved sitting outside and listening to the music. There was plenty of space outside and didn't feel cramped or clustered.

It was fairly easy to park in the parking garage that's connected. Although they do have valet option. It was a small menu compared to most restaurants that you may experience but it's also a specialized French menu. We ended up going with the burger and steak and honestly the fries were delicious! I don't know what it was, but the fries were a must have. It's definitely a pricey establishment, or two drinks and two meals brought us up to nearly $100, but it's a nice place for a celebration like bday.

Need help. I need some information on where I can reach the owner. I am getting married at Dovecote in February and now I see that they are closed. I need to reach the owner so we can discuss on how we can get a refund. Please help!!!

I stopped here since I had jury duty today. I waited 10 minutes before the barista got someone to seat me. The service is slow. The food was pretty good--I got the steak frites and a cafe con leche (Foxtail Coffee). However, my coffee was lukewarm. The steak was salty and it looked like it absorbed all of the bernaise sauce? The pluses were the beautiful ambiance and pretty patio. I'm not sure if I'll be back because the food is quite pricey and it's out of the way for me!
