El Hefe

What a delight to find this hidden gem. Food was very good in all areas. Presentation to taste. Quantity was more than plenty. Service was very professional and knowledgeable of the menu selections. I will eat here again and again. Parking a bit tricky but available.

Definitely recommend. They have been open for 2 years now, and we had a great experience. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. If looking for a local and small place to enjoy a drink and meal, then this is the place. The meatball sliders are killer. Parking is a little problem, but once you find a spot, it'll be worth it.

Outstanding assortment of fine Dinning foods.. Absolutely love the Lasagna and Pork sirloin.
The service is why we keep coming back.
I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for that perfect evening out with family or friends.

This restaurant is really good, i loved everything about it. The food came HOT and the salad tasted great. I had the lasagne. Looking forward to going back and trying other menu items.

El Hefe exceeded my expectations. I was reluctant to try it. Is this a Mexican themed Italian restaurant? Skeptical. And maybe cranky because it seems like everything is pizza, Italian, Mexican, burgers and basic American food around here. I've been twice now, and Hefe stands out from the pack. High-quality ingredients, big flavors, nice menu variety, great beer and cocktail menu, all at good prices. Yes, please. I tend to order like I may never eat again, so I tried a lot of things in my two visits. Apps: calamari, shrimp scampi, crab cakes, and clams. Seafood in Ohio can be it or miss. They all hit, great sauce pairings with everything, nothing tasted fishy or frozen. Next, big Ribeye (under $20, nice), pork ribeye (beautiful mushroom sauce), a Mahi special, grilled red snapper. All winners. Dinner salads aren't thrown together iceberg lettuce. The wedge, Ceasar, and house were all nice. Veggie side - I often feel like a get frozen veg with a bunch of butter and salt. Nope. Fresh, well seasoned, cooked just right. Home made redskin mash. Good marinara and pasta (gonna try more of these). They have like like 6 or 7 unique margaritas and mojitos (with a bar that is truly stocked with, like better than most bars around here). Might as well get the homemade strawberry banana cake, also great. Tony the manager and Dave the bartender were welcoming and friendly. Plenty of parking across the street. Interior is upscale, artistic, and fun. Pick something that sounds good to you, and I bet it is. I'll be back for the rest of the menu, my new favorite spot.

My wife and I were both pleasantly surprised by our first visit to this restaurant. The food was amazing as was the service. The meals came out looking like art! Do yourself a favor and stop out there for lunch or a dinner date. We’ll be going back for sure.

Great Italian food! The ribeye is awesome and so is the chicken marsala! The crab cakes have no filler and are great. They're closed on Mondays. Check it out you won't regret it! Good pricing and great food! Will go back often!

Steak, it's what's for breakfast, when you have to work and didn't have time to make anything else. Leftover Marsala Steak from EL Hefe. I admit, I'm a steak snob. I usually only like filet....and I usually make it at home....from steaks that I buy from a locally owned small business/market back in Indiana. I stock up on them anytime I'm back in Indiana. I have to tell you that this is the first steak that I have had out at a restaurant, in literally years, that I have actually liked and enjoyed. This steak was phenomenal, even reheated the next day, and it wasn't even a filet! I totally recommend! Run....don't walk to EL Hefe!

The service was great. I ordered off the menu, and they had no problem with that. The food was great. The service was second to none.

Really excited to have a new restaurant in Dover. The vibe is Mexican but the food is Italian??

I had the dragon fruit and coconut mojitos. Both were delicious. They even include the raw sugar cane.

The calamari appetizer was delicious. Comes with 2 sauces. The El Hefe sauce is pure magic.

Then we had the burgers. They were perfectly cooked and have just the slightest hint of smokiness. It was everything I want in a burger.

Lots of menu options and great service. I can't wait to come back and try more. This might be my new fave local spot.

The Salmon with Crab was delicious and my girlfriend got the Lasagna which was also delicious!..got the wings for an appetizer and they were excellent!

Cool atmosphere..great menu..we all ordered Burgers, Ribs.. niece had Margarita.. brother had draft Angry Orchard Cider..prices great.. plenty of food.. Service fantastic..Server David

Very nice inside. We went late so no one was really there. The waiters were very nice even though we were there close to closing.The food was very good. It's funny the name of the place is Spanish and the food is Italian.

Everything is great here, but the confusing thing is the name is El Heffe so you think it's Mexican and it's not it's more Italian, the inside decor doesn't really go with the type of restaurant that it is, I mean there are skeletons on the wall. That is the only thing that bothers me. Food, fantastic, Service, fantastic decor and name a bit disconnected

We tried El Hefe for NYE, and it did not disappoint. They were very busy, but the staff and owner were pleasant, efficient, and helpful. The food and drinks were amazing, so nice to have something different in Tuscarawas Co. We will be returning!

We found our new favorite spot! Beautiful margaritas that were made with fresh fruit and delicious, and probably the best burger I’ve had in a ver long time. Service was amazing and so friendly. So good we called our friends to meet us!

Fantastic secret in Dover Ohio. Excellent Italian food and other great choices. Decent prices and attentive friendly staff.

The pork sirloin is the best anywhere. So tender you don't need a knife to cut it. Taste fantastic. The 11 oz sirloin is also excellent great flavor an extremely tender. . Definitely worth ordering again. We've never had a bad meal and the staff is very good.

Our experience was incredible! We were there celebrating a birthday with a large group of people. Service was excellent, the atmosphere was great, and the food was unreal. Everyone loved the lamb chops that were on special, but if not, I highly recommend the pork ribeye.

Food is excellent. They run a tight ship. I wish the salad was a bit larger, and the music a bit quieter/ not as intense, but other than that it was a great experience. Will be back.
