Everything just wasn't quite right. The biggest problem they were out of so much of the menu, so just ordered burgers. Not the night out we wanted

The sword fish was excellent. Our server was among the best we have had. He made sure everything was right and redid my wife's order when it was slightly over done.

I had never been to Dovecote before and we went for my birthday dinner last night before seeing all the drama online! Just wanted to give a review of our experience, which wasn’t on a jazz night so we didn’t have a time limit or anything like that. Dovecote was the only restaurant I could find that allowed our group of 12 to do Magical Dining. Everyone enjoyed their meals overall, the cocktails were definitely the highlight! The Red Cote and the Smoked Old Fashioned were our favorites. The beef carpaccio was really good (presentation was nice too, but totally forgot to take a photo before I ate the whole thing!), the truffled chicken was pretty bland, my husband got the bacon wrapped pork chop and he ate the whole thing, mixed reviews from the group for the NY strip, I had the chocolate mousse bear and it was ok, very small, the mushroom part you see in other’s photos was missing on all of ours, it just wasn’t anything special. I tasted the creme brulee and it was good! We had two servers the whole night and one of them, Aaron, was amazing. He always checked on us and kept our glasses filled, took a bunch of group photos for us and even suggested different locations that would be better for photos. At one point a not so friendly guy was helping serve our desserts, and he seemed like one of the managers… but our servers were great! Service was not slow at all as other reviewers have stated, but we went on a Wednesday so it was less busy. Overall, the restaurant is beautiful, love that they have free parking, but the food wasn’t really exceptional so I wouldn't want to spend that much money on entrees that are just meh. I also would never go on their jazz night where you apparently have a time limit and may get kicked out. We definitely enjoyed our experience though!

DoveCote was a pleasant surprise. Discovered this nice restaurant very last minute. The menu and the pictures of the food were the selling point for me. The restaurant was easy to make a last minute reservation for Sunday brunch. The hostesses were polite, well dressed and very accommodating when I called to modify the reservation. They easily checked us in and we’re obliged my request that my grandmother and I sit somewhere quiet. Our server Gabriel was friendly and attentive. He was knowledgeable about the menu, reviewed the specials, and even made recommendations. He also adjusted the speed of his service when I shared we would be moving slow. The food was fantastic. My grandmother had the Ham and Cheese beignets and I had the Duck & Waffles with a side of Brussels sprouts. Everything was beautifully prepared with great flavor and attention to detail. The waffle was a little dense but I believe that to be the actual preparation style. Lastly, they had an abundance of tea and coffee selections and great portions. They even had a variety of nondairy selections and I was able to request steamed coconut milk on the side. The ambiance was nice. You could tell the restaurant was a little older but it was very clean. From my view, I was able to see the kitchen staff and they seemed to take their jobs seriously with great pride in their preparation of each plate. I would recommend them to wear hair nets or some sort of hat, while preparing meals. The female manager was present and made eye contact and a smiled. She did have an opportunity to say hello, perform a 2 bite check in and to gauge our overall dining experience. Overall, this was a lovely restaurant and worth a trip to downtown Orlando. The menu and food were the highlights of the visit. We received what we came for and a tad bit more, which is always a pleasant surprise. With Gratitude 🙏🏽

Our entrees were mostly good except for the Chicken and waffles, the whole entree was cold and waffles were hard to chew, like old bread. The main problem with our visit was the service. We finished our first round of drinks and waited forever for server to come check on us. Food came out and we still hadn't seen the server. We had to ask the person who delivered the food for drinks. We literally finished our food before we got a second round.

We had a party of 12 and did Magical Dining. The service was very slow, not our waiters fault - he was lovely, but took an hour to get bread. The food was delicious but small servings on the entree. Our whole group was still hungry after dinner. Would certainly try again but not the Magical Dining and maybe not a Saturday night.

This was the worse service I ever experienced, the manager was totally unresponsive, the waiter was an inexperiences and only care when we complain that we didn’t have our food after two hours of sitting down ,do not recommend a restaurant to anyone, in fact, the restaurant should close for business.

Really poor service. Took an hour before appetizers, everyone was delayed, poor excuses given, staff didn’t seem to care, no management to be found, and food was blah. Reservations should tell you how busy you will be. If you can’t support this, don’t open.
