We enjoyed our meals because of their interesting flavors and the quality of their ingredients. Also, we like the ambience - no overwhelming bright light and quiet. The servers are attentive and friendly. The meals and drinks are reasonably priced. This was our second dinner there, and we plan to return. For the webmaster of OpenTable, please fix the link to "What is a private note?". Clicking it took me to another page without giving me a way to return to my review, so I had to re-enter all the information. I'm using MSEdge, perhaps you use JavaScript that is not compatible with it.

Our server (Araseli) went above and beyond our expectations. She takes a personal yet professional approach. We've ever received better service anywhere! The food (Thai Curry Shrimp and Branzino) was excellent and the cocktails exceptional (Cucumber Martini and Mexican Candy Martini). We will be frequenting this restaurant and recommending it to our friends.

Great service. Terrible food. The shrimp curry was so sweet I couldn’t eat it. The branzino was over cooked and dry and covered with a sauce. Unimaginative rice served with all meals. First and last visit. Extremely disappointed. Very little on menu that any of us wanted to eat. Place filled up at 8 pm either college women drinking. Really weird all around. Thus is a place to avoid.

With menu options like fois gras, escargot and pork belly we were excited to try Dantes. Unfortunately the execution and overall downscale ambiance of the place left much to be desired. The food was mediocre, the dining room understaffed and the vibe was more central Tucson bar than upscale restaurant. Definitely would have been willing to overlook the service and ambiance deficiencies if the food quality was on point, but it was not. This is a burgers and wings joint trying to pull off a gourmet style menu. It’s not working, or at least it wasn’t last Saturday night.

Our service was very slow. It took nearly 10 minutes to get drinks, appetizer came out quickly but entree’s were delayed due to a big party in the back. My son’s steak was undercooked and he didn’t get it back until the rest of the table was done with their meal. They offered free desert but it was so late by that point, we weren’t interested. Expensive meal for poor service.

Started our experience being told they print their reservations out at 3 (we made ours around 5 and there were plenty left) and no table ready. We were seated after a delay. Drinks were all good, deviled egg appetizer was very salty. But- main problem- we could see the food window- two of our orders sat under heat lamps for over ten minutes waiting for the pasta to be done. When delivered, the buns were literally rock hard and the fries were limp- horrible kitchen management. When remade. Food was good- but I was done with pasta before remade sandwiches are delivered. The manager sis not issue much of an apology. Did comp some of meal. Poor waitress was nice but frazzled. Pretty empty on a Friday night- good food. Not a great experience.
