Horrible service. – I will never go back to this restaurant! Besides the nice views of the river and city, dante's is HELL! Servers are rude and extremely slow. It took over 45 minutes after being seated that our waitress asked for our drink orders - and then another 20 minutes for them to actually arrive. Food was bland, and thoughtlessly prepared. Later, when we stupidly decided on an after dinner drink - we were chased down by the bar-tender when he thought we were trying skip out on the bill, (when we were only trying to... read more
Delicious food and excellent service – When my family wanted to try one of the area's new restaurants, we decided on dante after enjoying the chef's work at blu. We had a great experience and want to highly recommend it. We were seated on the patio on a warm Saturday night, and it was lovely to be near the river; we could even hear bits of music from a concert at the Hatch Shell. Our waiter could not have been nicer or more knowledgable, really enhancing the evening's experience. All of the food was delicious, from the chewy... read more
great at first sight, but falls apart upon close look – The food there is trying to be high-concept, which is great. But when you do high-concept, low-quantity food, the trick is really in the quality details. But my recent visit disappointed on that front. The lobster claw in a pseudo-bouillabaisse base is an expensive appertiser but the bouillabaise base is bland as a canned soup from Campbell's. Similar thing can be said for the main dish I had. As for the view, the patio is right by the river but I circled around and fou... read more
Gorgeous river view – Since opening, dante has added to its inside restaurant and bar by opening its patio on the river, complete with an outside bar. You won't find a more beautiful view of the Charles or a better place to spend a summer evening. Try some light appetizers (or stay for dinner), browse their menu of half modern, half classic cocktails, or ask to see their extensive wine list. You won't be disappointed! Also, although the site doesn't say it, you can smoke on the patio and at the outside bar -- both of which a... read more
A clear passion for great food – For Mother's Day, I made reservations to bring my mother, who loves to eat out, somewhere new. We had to cancel due to weather on the actual date, so when we finally made it to dante a week later, we were shocked to find the hostess remembered our party and seated us in our requested booth with a gorgeous view of the river. Our server was friendly and really accommodating, especially of me as a vegetarian. He seemed eager to answer our questions about the menu and went out of his way to help ... read more
a fun time for all, including my boyfriend !!!!! (he had a little too much fun actually....) – I haven't been compelled to write any reviews lately but this must be heard. My boyfriend can be really REALLY picky and particular about.... everything. So I rarely take him out to dinner. However, when we made it to dante, something changed. I made reservations in advance and requested the patio, luckily we got sat right away with a beautiful view of the river. Then it happened.... We were greeted by a big smile from a friendly s... read more
worth the wait – My wife and I went to Dante by suggestion of a friend who lives in the area and has made the bar at dante her new hang out with her neighbors and friends. We made the mistake of going in on a Friday night at around 7:30 and the place was packed and full of energy we had a 1/2 hour wait( i know who goes to a new restaurant on a Fri night and expect to be seated right away,). The nice thing was that there were two seats at the bar in front of a nice flat screen TV showing the red sox game. When the bartender g... read more
best food for "foodies", best patio... – i highly recommend dante for anyone that truely loves food. we arrived in the middle of a busy thursday night and were seated (with a small wait) on a gorgeous patio that we didn't even know they had. our waiter came to us promptly and was exceptionally friendly and then surprisingly knowledgeable when we grilled him on the food and our options for ordering. the chef is into tasting size portions to start and then has a selection interesting entrees with a blend of traditional meets m... read more
great bar,great food and good people – All I have to say is if you love great food, great drinks, and more than attentive service you need to check dante out.
