AMAZING! Cute restaurant inside of the FLOR hotel but so dainty and the food was phenomenal! I had the ravioli and it was DELICIOUS! And the server was exclusively detail oriented with us (tall gentlemen with white hair) and the drinks to DIE FOR!

It was a friend's 50th BDay supper so I was all in. I had dined at The Dan previously and the most recent experience out-shone[a[[ our experience in the past. The Branzino and Lamb Pappardelle was superb! It was a pleasant surprise.

The menu online is not the menu they are currently using and has not been for 6 months. We chose this restaurant based on items we saw on their online menu and were disappointed when none of these items were on their current menu. The waiter we had was very good, but the food was mediocre at best. The Brussel sprouts were very good, the Steak Frite was overly salted and covered in a sauce. The calamari in the seafood pasta dish was fishy. If it wasn’t for the waiter, who was very good, I would give it a worse rating.

Very loud walking in. Greeted well and seated immediately. Our server was attentive and responsive. Appetizers, we ordered 3, and drinks from the bar were good. The main dishes were below par. Salmon was dry and short ribs simply missed. Our $250 bill for 3 was outrageous all considering. The quality of the food was $25 a plate not $45. Will not be back and soon forgotten. On another note, we were celebrating a birthday that we made them aware of, they didn't recognize it at all. Any gesture would have been appreciated.
