| - Where to start. There was failure literally at every point of service.
Our server started the evening by asking if we had been in before. When we said no, he said he wouldn't give us the usual welcome speech because he had a busy day, but to ask questions if we had them.
The drinks took forever to come out. When they did, the Moscow Mule was watered down and the Monte Carlo tasted like pure bourbon.
Then there was the food. The meatball appetizer was good, but nothing to write home about.
We initially ordered the Sausage, Peppers & Rigatoni pizza. A while later the server came and said that it and the Inferno pizza were 86'd because they ran out of sausage. We ordered the Italian Meats pizza (that has sausage on it) as a replacement. A bit later a runner brought out the......Sausage, Peppers & Rigatoni pizza..... Once we had finished that our server brought out the Italian Meats Pizza. Total. Utter. Confusion.
As for the tastes, the flavors on the Sausage, Peppers & Rigatoni pizza were good. I think. It was hard to tell as while the crust was good and warm, the toppings were cold. There were even strands of unmelted cheese on the pizza. The roasted peppers did have a good flavor.
As for the Italian Meats pizza it was served at a better temperature. It was piled with that sausage they ran out of plus prosciutto and other meats.
We also got a half of the Baked Vegetable Lasagna. It was served in a neat lidded bowl, and was fine, but again nothing to write home about.
Overall, slow service and a complete breakdown of communication. The food was also a big let down for Dante. This was a very disappointing experience as I really love all of Dante's other locations.
