| - Tonight we visited Dante's for dinner. The place was half empty and on no wait (score considering every other one next to it was on an hour wait). We grab a nice table by the open windows and quickly order drinks. Drinks arrive in a reasonable amount of time. No complaints there. Shortly after receiving the drinks we place our order for appetizer and meal. This is where it starts to take a turn....
As time passes, and passes, and passes, no appetizer. More time passes, and I start to notice people that arrived after us now had their appetizer (happened to be the exact thing I ordered)...
I flag down my waitress and ask if I will be getting my appetizer before my meal. She says she isn't sure it may come out with my meal. Huh? You heard that right.
Again the waiting continues, we are now at 35+ min and yet no appetizer. The waitress again swings by and now apologizes for the delay. Keep in mind the restaurant was half empty when we arrived.
I am now starting to notice tables that had been seated well after I ordered my food are now getting their food and I still have 0 appetizer.
Finally we see our waitress bringing our food...well kind of.
She sets down the appetizer and everyone's dinner...except mine. It will be another 20+ min before I see my dinner. The waitress said she thinks they lost my order....
Now when it comes to food quality, once I finally got my food...mehh at best. 5/10. Not great, not bad, just ehh, nothing special.
The long and short of this trip? Took over an hour to get our food, ate in shifts since everyone was finished when mine arrived, and the food was ehh just OK and the waitress didn't even so much as offer to discount anything.
In a nutshell, I'll never visit this place again. Tonight I saw how they operate with a low volume crowd, can't imagine what would happen when they are packed.
