Our meals were unbelievably good. We both opted for Chef Dante's Tasting menu and each of the five courses served were delicious. Service was outstanding. Our server along with the other team members made us feel welcome and truly created a memorable evening for us. Highly recommend Dante especially for special occasions.

Really liked the ambiance. Service was top notch - so friendly and engaging. Food was great. The biggest drawback is that it’s ridiculously loud. I struggled to hear the person seated directly across from me, which became frustrating at times.
