We have re-booked to go back to Dante with friends in 2 weeks' time, which speaks volumes. The ambience in the restaurant was lovely, staff were friendly and efficient, and provided very good service and we really enjoyed our meal.

I had a wonderful birthday dinner at Danté with friends, and it was such a memorable experience. We opted for the chef’s set menu and were genuinely impressed by the generous portions. Every course — from the entrées to the mains and desserts — was absolutely flawless. The service was warm, attentive, and made us feel right at home. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening and will definitely be returning. Danté is now our go-to spot for traditional Greek cuisine with a modern twist.

Entre and dessert were good. However i had the fish of the day. The vegetables that came with the fish I believed was just reheated from lunch or the day before. I could not cut some even with a knife. Tasted stale. Even though plenty of waiters per customers service was slow. Only had a couple of drinks because we had to wait too long to get served. Prices charged too high for quality of food and service

Amazing and attentive service at Danté. My party and I loved the atmosphere there and felt welcome from the moment we walked in until we left. The table service was impeccable and our waiter and bartender were extremely friendly the entire time (forgive me I forgot their names but they know who they were) Highly recommend this place for others. Super worth the price and the dishes were phenomenal. Drinks are on another level. Will be back for sure!

Lovely place to dine out. Very friendly and attentive staff. Cocktails are fantastic as was the starters. Our main meals were pretty good and plenty on the plates, but would like to see some more options added to the main menu. Would definitely be back for some more stylish dining.
