Dante's River Oaks

I'm over in this neck of the woods often, because I live near by, and appreciate the food options in the area. So, I thought Id give this place a try on a Tuesday. Ambiance - nice. It's a smaller restaurant, but beautifully decorated and perfect for a date night. Service - 10/10Food - 5/10. Pasta was undercooked and cold. Flavor was decent, but I couldn't get past the undercooked noodles. I may give it another shot, but unlikely.

This is a new restaurant I took my fiancé on a date night. It has great decor and style on the inside. Had a cosmopolitan decor, rich like wolf on Wall Street. Service was good bc we sat at the bar since we were walk-ins. Our bartender helped us choose the right drinks for us. My fiancé got a G&T and I got an old fashion. To start we shared tuna tartare which had a good dollop of goat cheese on top with a caper berry. The caper berry was a first and it added a level of saltiness that was well rounded. The tuna was perfection. Then we shared the tagliatelle truffle and mushroom pasta and roasted salmon filet. Truffle can be overpowering but the tagliatelle was well made and truffle was delicately utilized. Salmon was roasted to perfection, maintained its moisture, and added a healthy balance to the meal. It was the perfect meal.

Honey and I visited Dante's for date night. Had to call to push our reservation back a bit and hostess obliged without issue. We were to be sat at a small table near the window but requested to sit at the bar: dinner and a show ;) we watched chef and sous chef prepare the restaurants items with ease which was a nice treat. The food, tbh, was ok. We felt it lacked salt and citrus, leaving the pasta one-note. The vegetables were the best part of the meal. The dessert was disappointing; we were warned it was small but not that it was tasteless. The owner did come by and offer of wine tastings which was nice, if not a bit intrusive. We decided on buying a bottle and asked twice to have it put on our tab, but no one added it or brought it, so we left that alone. I'd come back once more bc I love Cacio e Pepe. Two word review: white wine.

This is a great place to catch a nice glass of wine and a great meal. The bartender is always a pleasure with awesome service. Love this place

Terrible. Poor execution on apps, drinks, & food. Don't even bother..................................................................................................................................................

Place feels cozy and nice , like the food there , service was ok , we went on a weeknight but still it was busy , loved the Mediterranean Octopus and kale salad ( I chose these as my favorites) other food we got was fine too .The pastas were a little bland but edible enough .

This is my first time attending. Dante's River Oaks, the only reason for the four star, and not five is how small and crammed the restaurant can be. We were a large party, and some of us were stepped in the corner. Overall, the food itself was good, the wine was probably the best part. It's a nice relaxing vibe. It is also a sexy atmosphere if you were going on a date, it can be very intimate and has a great menu selection for both food and wine. Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable and had great suggestions for our table.

I had a lovely and unique experience here. My friends and I had just finished shopping for wedding dresses upstairs and we wanted to stop for a glass of wine. They weren't open but they were so courteous and told us we could come in and have a drink if we didn't mind them setting up. We met the owner, Pierro (I probably butchered the spelling) and he chatted with us. He told us about the wine (he makes the wine at his family vineyard in Italy!). He even elevated the experience with some focaccia! It's a cute spot and I hope more folks will come support these guys.

I had the pleasure of dining at Dantes last night, and it was indeed a fabulous experience. The food was delicious, and the wine was exceptionally well-poured and enjoyable. What added to the charm of the evening was the owner's impromptu wine tasting, and we purchased a case of wine (to go) from his family's vineyard in Piedemonte, Italy. My wife and I have a special love for Italy, and we thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to taste his wines. The ambiance of the restaurant was perfect for a great night out with close friends. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience, and I cannot wait to return and support the folks at Dantes.

amazing food, great service especially by Joel the bartender. We sat at the bar and he was attentive the whole night. The ambiance was great.Their espresso martini was amazing, tried carajillo as well, and tried the charcuterie board and gnocchi pasta w shrimp and it was great.
