We've gone to Dotty's very regularly for what feels like forever, at least a dozen visits since January alone - and I can't believe I haven't posted a review yet! This is our favorite restaurant in Quincy by far - the equivalent of what "A Taste of Athens" is to Nate (if you've watched Ted Lasso, you'll get the reference)! We've brought family here, colleagues, friends, and everyone always loves it. Every dish we've tried has always been very good or exceptional with perfectly cooked proteins, and impressively consistent. The cocktails and mocktails are also always very good. The team members have always been incredibly friendly and attentive, shout out to Kayla, Emily, and the entire team at Dottys!

One of the absolute best places around. The staff is always friendly and courteous. And the food is honestly the best in Quincy. My first stop for oysters and the bacon wrapped dates are my favorite. Definitely worth checking out.

I got the smash burger with bacon. It was a very good burger. If you’re looking for street parking that’s a little tough. I had to circle around to find a spot because there was some kind of function going on across the street at City Hall

Wow, I should have tried Dottys sooner. I came here for brunch and tried the $2 oysters and chicken and waffles, very flavorful. Our waitress provided the different oyster recommendations. I loved the customer service here, it's hard to find amazing food and customer service. But at Dottys, they have both. You can also bring your dog, they have an outdoor seating! I will come back here for sure! Thanks to the entire Dotty staff for making brunch so memorable, I will be coming back and telling my friends and family to join!

Dotty’s is a stylish and inviting raw bar and restaurant that makes a wonderful addition to the Quincy dining scene. The interior boasts a moody, modern atmosphere with a great selection of craft cocktails and mocktails. During the warmer months, their outdoor seating is a great option for enjoying the weather. While the menu includes full entrée options, there’s a strong emphasis on small plates and shareable appetizers. My friends and I shared the fries, calamari, and warm crab dip—all of which were perfect for grazing. The crab dip was especially flavorful and a personal favorite. The calamari was tasty as well, though the portion had a higher ratio of banana peppers than squid. A more balanced mix would make it even better. Overall, Dotty’s is a great spot for a casual date night or an evening out with friends.

I should have come sooner. The staff were so kind and food came quick. We ordered the French onion dip and was impressed by the chips - a style I've never had. Then we had fried calamari, cooked just right without being burnt and still juicy. Then we shared the chicken entree, which was perfect. I never get breast but it was so juicy and went well with the risotto and salad. I'm excited to go back to try the other things. They have a great offering between seafood and meats!

Incredible find in Quincy. I was a solo diner and received perfect service. I had the passion fruit marg, the roasted cauliflower and hummus app, lobster roll and key lime truffle. All were excellent. Service was well paced. Ambience was upscale-casual. Come in jeans or a cute dress. Perfect evening.

First of all, the cutest place! The food was excellent, we went on a week night so it wasn't busy and we got a selection of east coast oysters served with a mignonette. Love a place that knows their food, it was cool to be able to have oysters from different locations because a lot of places only have one selection and don't distinguish where they come from. Drinks were fantastic! Had a wonderful espresso martini. Also got the chicken sandwich which was SO good, crispy chicken, great fries, the sauce on it was delicious. I would repeat this place every week if I could!
