by Susan F. on Dante's is one of the last Atlanta institutions left in the Buckhead area. It is totally unique and you won't find anything like it. I don't even know how to start describing the ambiance other than it is a pirate ship inside a building with a moat of alligators and everything! Also, we met the owner Dante while there and he was a delightful older gentleman that can spin a tale like no one these days can. The food was good, but not outstanding. You're paying for the ambiance, the jazz, and the fondue process. Go here with friends, have fun, cook some food, and plan to leave full. We ordered a little of everything, but my favorite fondues were the cheese and beef. While I'm usually a chicken person, I didn't like that chicken had to be handled more carefully and fully cooked to be safe to eat. Our server was great. She could describe each item in detail and was very attentive.
by Gwenn Valladao on OK, i absolutely LOVE this spot. It's in a convenient location, has free parking, CLEAN restrooms, and very good drinks... on Fridays, all of the specialty drinks are $5 (Kat is the bartender-owner). There's also a live dj (lamarrous) who spins the best songs (and he takes requests)!!! The food is decent and moderately priced. A good time can be had for under $20... The space isn't huge, but it's not small by any means, and there's a VIP area near the stage... Great colors and furniture. It just feels good. If there were anything that could be changed or enhanced, I'd say that the food could be upgraded somewhat. While it's definitely "ok", it's not delicious... but the ambiance more than makes up for what the food may lack.
