    Nice atmosphere and good service but the food was sub par except for the Brussels sprouts. Scallops were dry and flavorless. Steak was undercooked and had to be sent back. Price was way too high for the quality

    Another extraordinary experience at The Dan. Service (J) is always extra extraordinary and the imaginative offerings are always a hit with my friends and me. Cannot recommend it too much, Food and service were very good, but left credit card behind and have emailed twice and called once and there has been no reply. Had to cancel my credit card which was quite an inconvenience.

    We’ve been there a few times and although their food has gotten better the service needs a lot of work. We were seated and no one came to take care of us so after almost 15 minutes of waiting I approached the manager, who was very helpful and polite and he got someone to come and take care of us. Following that we tried ordering an appetizer and were told they didn’t have any of that and while ordering dinner we were also told that they were out of the entree that I wanted to order. I kept wondering how after all this time they still haven’t gotten it together and mastered the art of running a great restaurant, the space is beautiful, the drinks are great but they need to elevate their customers experiences. Perhaps they need better, more experienced leadership to run this place more efficiently. I’m rooting for them because I personally like the place that is why we keep coming back but after yesterday’s experience we may have to stop or wait a little longer to return.

    They have a great Instagram which made me decide to pick this restaurant. Bummed we were only allowed to choose off of a valentine menu * should have been told when booking No music- totally killed the vibe. When we asked the server he said “ I think it’s broken” a place like this should be innovative use a Bluetooth speaker 🤷🏻‍♀️ Overtake food was good just not sure I would go back

    Four of us had a very good Valentine's meal at The Dan. The Sea Bass was especially good, thick and juicy with a nice citrus sauce. Our server, Heath, was very attentive and professional. The decor is very cozy with some of the best lighting we've seen in a restaurant. We really appreciated the manager taking time to stop by our table to make sure we had a good experience. We definitely will recommend to others.
