   Food was amazing! Portions were very generous and menu had just enough variety without feeling overwhelming. I wish our server would have explained the tasting experience menu as soon as we were seated. Several in our party planned on ordering this and then they were told the whole table had to participate when we were placing our order which left them scrambling to find something else. Our service also seemed to be slower than the tables around us (and we were not in a large party….only 5 of us). Overall, it was an enjoyable experience and very reasonably priced. We will be back!

   Always an exceptional experience. Dante consistently is one of Cleveland’s true treasures that never lets its guard down in terms of service, ambiance and food.

   Our first time here. We ordered a variety of items for appetizers, pastas, polenta, and entree to try. The crab-filled sweet potatoes appetizer was unique and we enjoyed it. We enjoyed our entree dishes (Short ribs, black cod, swordfish) more than the pastas (carbonara, bolognese). We will return.

   This particular night, the noise level was lively - for a business dinner, a bit too much - next time we will ask for the Vault when entertaining for business. The food as always was excellent.

   Perfection - better to overdress than underdress.

   Wonderful food. It is very obvious that the chef cares about the quality of food presented to his guest. Each dish is created with thoughtful balance and the best of ingredients. I love that I can order different size portions and try many things on the menu. Not my first time at Dante's and hopefully not the last one. My favorite place to eat in Cleveland.

    Dante’s food quality and ambience is always fabulous. We caught them on an off night I believe for service and service was incredibly slow. Totally understand most people are there for the long haul dining. Most of the customers that night were doing the chefs tasting, which is a very long drawn out process with many courses of wines and food selections. However, for someone that just wants to eat off the regular menu, it was so incredibly slow slowed down that everyone at the table kept looking around to try to find the server for everything in attempt to speed up even slightly. There was one server for at least four tables on the outside portion of the restaurant. We sat in the front window, which was incredibly cold, but that’s what you get when you’re seated at an outside window. Should work on those heaters a little bit as they did not help. Our appetizers came one hour after seating, and entrées came almost 2 hours in. Had to chase down the server for the check, obviously no dessert because we were so long into the game here it just seemed uncomfortably slow for regular diners. From the business standpoint, even if sped up slightly more, they probably could’ve seated another group that night and made some more money if they had just been a little more efficient. Our meals were amazing, short rib was fabulous, steak was fabulous, swordfish was fabulous, amazing wine menu, so there is a lot of good stuff there.
