    Lea was our server and she was exceptional! Professional and personable. Made great suggestions for our meal and complimentary to what we were looking to eat. It was fantastic and made us quickly forget we were sat 15 minutes past our reservation. Chase and the hostess were apologetic, especially because we were crammed against the bar waiting for our table. The place was electric!! All dishes were divine and the only critique was the quality of noodles used for the special pasta dish of the evening—the one with mushrooms and blueberries. The pasta felt more like ramen than fresh pasta. We will be back!

    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.
