"What a disappointing experience! We made reservations 2 weeks ago and arrived a few minutes before. We have never been to this restaurant and have been wanting to go for a long time! We walk into a very frazzled individual who tells us she just arrived and all of the tables for 4 are taken, many of them with only 2 guests. We are a party of 4. There are other 2-tops open. She tells us she does not know what she is going to do, and that we need to wait a few minutes. People are lining up, behind us she is running around and is very scattered. She then tells us it will be at least 45 minutes to an hour, and we decide that we are going to leave, as it simply does not look like it would be a good experience if we were to stay and get seated. I kindly let her know we were leaving and told her it was our first experience and unfortunately our last. She had nothing to say. When choosing where to go have a great dining experience, choose one of our other great local spots. Others turned and walked out after we did. They seemed short-staffed and chaotic, and did not seem to care. The chef is supposed to be very talented, yet perhaps needs a lesson in business and customer service."

"Came here with my partner last night for the Valentine's Day Special. It was $75 per person, not including drinks. Highly recommended by a good friend who has been there several times. The server was great and very apologetic for the wait. After being seated, we received a plate of bread and our amuse' came out shortly after. Then we waited over an hour for our first course. We were honestly getting bored, and noticing that other tables that were seated just before us received their first and second courses before we even received our first. The first course was good, but very very small portions, so that was disappointing after an hour of waiting. The main course, was delicious I had the salmon which was very flavorful and everything was fantastic. My partner has the beef cheeks which were extremely disappointing, not only tiny, but there were 2 mini potatoes and 2 small carrots, and 2 spam sized beef cheeks literally smothered in over bearing zinfandel gravy.... That's it?? That's not a meal worth $35 (broken down on the bill). He didn't even want to eat it but we did because we paid for it. Fantastic desserts, really well flavored and super yummy. Seating was extremely crammed and loud, I was hoping for a peaceful quiet and semi private ambiance (though I had never been to Dante's Fire and didn't know the lay out). It would have been more comfortable if there were 25% less tables and people around, everything was very loud. I scooted my chair back right into the next table over. Anyway, I will not be going back for any special priced "all inclusive" evenings, unless it is worth $75 via bigger portion sizes and less wait times."

"My husband and I had the best time here. They have a wonderful comedic magic show. It was great food and great service. Staff was very kind and attentive. You won't regret coming to the magic show."

"We ordered the blue cheese salad, the butternut squash salad, a few cocktails, and deviled eggs for starters. They were all amazing! We got the NY strip and Tiki Marsala. The food was fabulous, my only complaint is the NY strip was fairly small (~4oz) which they replaced with a larger cut for me. Our server Nadia was one of the best servers I've ever had. She not only was very kind and timely, but answered all my questions about the menu in a very descriptive way! But everything was amazing!"

"What a fantastic dinner we had here. The awards have been awarded for a reason. The food was outstanding - the curry and jalapenos were the favorite apps. The pork belly is not to be missed. Fun cocktails and ask for.the door dash menu for some added extras. Service was top notch, attentive and helpful. I never would have expected for this to be such a fantastic experience - totally worth it."
