Dante

I throughly enjoyed eating here. I will have to say that I’ve been to many restaurants and by far this is on my list of top 5 restaurants I’ve ever dined at.

To start off I had the chilled oysters and and crab rangoon spring roll, for my main meal I had the pheasant meal , which was roasted breast and braised thigh, parsnip purer, marjoram , savory vegetable pot pie. Which was amazing. This was my first time having pheasant . And it was cooked to perfection. The pot pie was amazing. I never tasted anything that amazing.

Our waiter was phenomenal, they kept our water cups filled and very pleasant. Made sure our table had what we needed.

Even though I was full beyond words. I pushed myself and got the Carmel Bourbon Cheesecake, and it was phenomenal. Best cheesecake I have ever had.

I will have to honestly give this restaurant a 10/10. This was definitely an awesome, amazing dining experience.

Ordered the tasting experience with wine pairing, and I'm still recovering.

It was amazing.

I could hear all the colors of the rainbow.

There was peace on Earth.

Jonathan guided us through a culinary journey on a river of wine in a boat made of love.

I'm sad that it's over, but I'm so happy that it happened.

Godspeed, person reading this.

Overall, excellent meal. We had the tasting menu with wine pairing. 1st course was a salmon dish, great presentation, amazing flavor, perfect wine pairing. This course lacked a touch of salt. 2nd course was pasta with short rib. Again, prefect wine pairing and the dish of the night. Well balanced flavors, great texture. 3rd course was black cod, again the wine was a wonderful pair, the dish was excellent. The fish was perfectly cooked, everything on the plate belonged and complemented the fish. 4th course was sirloin with short rib and kale. The sirloin was perfect! The short rib was perfectly cooked, but under seasoned, the kale was over a touch over seasoned, perhaps i didn't create the perfect bite with the meat and veg..... Again the wine pairing was excellent. The desert course was creative, flavorful and well executed. Great service and a great meal overall. If you're in Cleveland looking for an excellent dining experience, this is it!

Simply put, this is one of my favorite restaurants in the Cleveland area, or Northeast Ohio for that matter. Their cocktails are awesome, the wine selections are fantastic. And the food does not disappoint. In fact, some bites will leave you speechless. 🫢
I highly recommend going with the five course dinner with wine pairing. And then just buckle in, and go for the ride of your life. 😊
Lastly, the service is second to none. 🏆

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful dinner at Dante. The service was quick and friendly, the food was beautiful and the drinks were fantastic.

AMAZING! RUN, DON’T WALK to this restaurant. One of the best restaurant experiences I’ve had in Cleveland! The atmosphere is intimate and romantic. I went for my birthday and the staff was AMAZING and made my experience phenomenal! I ordered the 5 course meal with wine pairings. The chef gracefully accommodated my dairy sensitivity, the server thoroughly explained the wine, and the food was fantastic. If you’re ever in the Cleveland area and value a fine dining experience, do not hesitate to drop by!

Food was amazing. Our server was so helpful even gave us advice on items to do the following day.

Unbelievable. High end beautifully done building. Excellent layout with a bar and two separate eating areas. Service is very personal and prompt. The food....AMAZING. We had crab cakes and the cheese polenta dish for appetizers. Pasta and eggplant for main dishes. Everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection. Valet parking is available. Overall a top notch experience. We will be back!

The five course chef’s tasting menu was out of this world. I am not a seafood eater and I raved over the raw fish/avocado salad dish. Now THAT’s impressive. Every single dish managed to get better and better and the wine pairings were perfectly curated to match the dishes. What a fun experience! Can’t wait to go back!!

We took a road trip to check this place out. I was able to reserve a table for 2 inside the safe, which was vey cool. Our server, Branden, was awesome! We did the five course tasting menu and it was very good. We also added a small portion of the spaghetti spaghetti, which was also amazing! I recommend trying their brown butter old fashioned if you like bourbon cocktails. They make the brown butter and infuse it with the bourbon in house. It did not disappoint! I would definitely go here again.

My wife and I visited Dante Restaurant to kick off our 40th wedding anniversary weekend. She selected the Vegan tasting experience and I the regular. It was simply fabulous. The atmosphere and attentiveness of the staff were excellent and the food was absolutely delectable. We are planning to return in a couple of weeks for another meal. We highly recommend this restaurant!

Stopped in without a reservation so we grabbed some seats at the bar. Tried the tasting menu, everything was delicious! Service was spot on and the lovely people at the bar provided very interesting conversation. What a great treat for a night out without the kids for us! Will definitely be back

We visited Dante a couple of nights ago with my son and his gf. Everything about the evening was perfect. The staff was friendly, helpful, and attentive without being intrusive. The food (and wine) was delicious, and the presentation was beautiful... wish we had thought to take photos. Loved the atmosphere. If you are looking for the perfect place for a special dinner, I highly recommend Dante!

Absolutely fantastic! Drinks and food were spot on. The bar even carried several rare whiskey bottles. We purchased a pour of blade and bow, however it was missing the key so their was no way to identity the series. The cocktails had a good balance between the alcohol and mix-ins. We each purchased a main course which was more than enough to carry leftovers home.

I have gone there twice now, all within a week. Both times were AMAZING! This is by far my new favorite spot to eat. One of the 3 pasta dishes are a MUST seeing as they make the noodles and sauce from scratch! They have a snack size portion for $8, an app for $18 and a meal for $27. The steaks tho... that is what I came there for! First time I came i got the ribeye with beef short rib shredded on top. Ooooh my goodness. Needless to say I ate my entire plate. 2nd trip-me and my father got the 38 oz steak for two for $99. Sooo happy with this decision. The steak was huge! They slice it for you before bringing it to the table. They even bring it out and show it to you before they cut it. The steak was Very flavourful and perfectly cooked.
If you saved room for dessert I highly recommend getting the 3 course dessert option for $18
You pick out your three dessert. I HIGHLY recommend this place! Fabulous

Ah man! I can write a book about Dante. Let’s start with the ambience. It’ll feel like you took a trip somewhere without leaving Cleveland. The staff are incredibly welcoming. Everyone was so attentive. Okay, food time. I ordered the tasting portion of the Shrimp Ravioli. It was amazing. It was perfectly sour and lemony. For my main course, I ordered the Angus Beef Ribeye. I asked for medium and got a perfect medium. The vegetables that came with it were really good too. My friend ordered the Vegan Lasagna and loved it. It had cashew paste and was a delight. Overall, this was a much needed great dining experience.

We had a wonderful meal for our anniversary! Delicious scallops and steak as our main meal after mussels for our appy. Scott did an amazing job as our server! We even got a glass of Prosecco as our treat for our anniversary. The banana hazelnut mousse was so tasty for our dessert!

Every time has been a top notch experience. This time the coolest, chef's table in the kitchen, 5 course tasting. Staff was great, service was great, atmosphere was amazing, even got to meet Dante!!

I have 1 teeny issue. I just want a little bit more out there for the tasting. Both times, it has started off with something a little different exciting and then kinda worked back safer.

I asked our server about this and she explained what I thought... It's more appealing, it's broader, it helps the person in the group who isn't that adventurous. Don't get me wrong... The dishes were great... Oh and did I mention huge for a tasting... You will leave full.

Lobster salad, duck ragu pappardelle, sea bass, ny strip... Ugh the cassoulet... And two desserts, blueberry cake... Unreal, and a cherry cheesecake cake. I needed a stretcher to get out.

It's a fun experience, definitely worth it, and I will be back.

The food was flavorful and intricate. Servers were attentive, without being overbearing. They even replaced our candle when it burned out. Their 5 or 7 course tasting menu changes weekly and includes a full vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free offering. An extensive selection of wines is also available. The five course tasting menu provides a good portion of food total, including dessert. Valet parking was efficient as well.

We enjoyed the Specialty Fish, Hand Made Pasta (all 3 of them), and Polenta. Excellent service. Nice place.
