   This is the first time that anyone in my party has been to this restaurant, and it’s easy to see why it’s popular! We were celebrating my niece’s 15th birthday, and wanted to give her a more grown up birthday dinner. Out waitress was amazing (she has a mohawk) and went above and beyond. The food was delicious and my drink was perfectly balanced. I can’t wait to go again!

   Another excellent meal! A really well made Old Fashioned, the kale salad was outstanding, as were the mushroom ravioli. The chocolate pistachio dessert was delectable.

   The food and wine were excellent, portions generous and all the staff with whom we interacted were attentive and helpful. First visit to Dante but likely will not be the last.

   Another great meal from one of Cleveland's best white table cloth restaurants.

   This was my first time at Dante. We loved every second. We created our own course dinner and tried a handful of items on the menu. Food was phenomenal.  plan to return for the experience.

   Although the food was good, we had to wait at least 20 minutes between anything. We were considering getting the tasting menu but was told it would take at least 3 hours. I had a martini, which was good. Order the Brussels sprouts, which were amazing, and Three Cheese polenta, which we just ordered to try and have no real frame of reference to compare them. For entrees, which we waited 45 minutes for, I had the Wild Mushroom Ravioli, which was alright, it had many components to it which didn’t really blend into a cohesive dish, the Pappardelle Bolognese which my daughter loved, and my husband got the Lamb Shank which he said was very good. Ordered the side of Garlic-braised greens which were delicious. I think the whole experience would have been better if service would have been faster and I didn’t have to wait 15 minutes between ordering a glass of wine and receiving it.

   Despite having our reservations for over a month (it was not a last minute, please fit us in situation), we were seated in the connected restaurant next door. Totally different vibe, decor and ambiance than the actual Dante restaurant. Only 4 out of 20 (?) tables in the overflow room had guests. It was basically a big empty room. The music was so loud. When I asked to turn it down, we were told it was so loud to drown out the music downstairs. There is a disco (?) Coda downstairs - that music was so loud it was literally shaking our table bumping with the base. We had one server with no help, so we were constantly asking for refills and “where are our drinks we ordered two courses ago?” Despite complaining about the situation the first time our waiter finally came to our table, the manager didn’t come over until our check came. Despite a gift certificate for a future visit, the whole experience was shocking and disappointing. The food was wonderful, as always.

    While I understand things can get busy I don’t know if I had a worse experience. My wife and I were celebrating our valentines dinner to which we had wanted to try the tasting menu as recommended by our server. As someone who does like to indulge in them I had jumped right on it. After our first course the server brought out the same wine (not knowing which wine it was) until I said something about “oh it’s the same wine” to which he then proceeded to go back and grab a different wine and bring out our food. He then asked us which course we had just finished as if it were a 8, 10, or 12 course, but it was only 5 courses and he had just delivered them. The food/service and experience as a whole was not worth the north of $300 tab. I would not recommend anyone come here nor get the tasting menu as it was overpriced with no true experience that comes along with it. Extremely disappointed with the overall service especially with that price point.
