Description:

When it comes to his own dining compass, former Compass chef John Fraser just seems to keep heading north: Fraser returns to the Upper West Side with this New American spot on 77th Street, adding to the areas burgeoning dining scene. Located in a townhouse, the Richard Blochdesigned space juxtaposes old and new with steel surfaces that play off of the buildings exposed brick. The dishes are equally eclectic and reflect Frasers training (French Laundry) and travels (France, Spain), with an American menu anchored by Euro-tinted fare like clam chowder with smoked potatoes, chorizo and sourdough gougeres and rabbitandfoie gras terrine with candied kumquats. It is, Fraser tells us, the way that I categorize New American, which is what America is: all things in all cultures. Interestingly, Dovetail features an extensive sherry menuabout 25 in alland will be serving afternoon tea on Fridays and weekends. I decided to put together a menu of things that I like, Fraser says, and I think that I can make a good case that [diners] will like it, too."
