    Friendly greeting on arrival, the main dining room was a bit too cool with the air con so relocated to Parklet which was great spot catching the late afternoon sun. Prompt & attentive service to take our drinks order. Our meal (shared mixed grill) was beautiful, the different meats tender & expertly prepared with chips, dips & bread & salad items finishing off the platter. The meal is very generous in size. With a nice wine each the meal was less than $70. Great value for 2 people for a quality meal. The staff are all very friendly providing an enjoyable experience all round.

    Amazing and attentive service at Danté. My party and I loved the atmosphere there and felt welcome from the moment we walked in until we left. The table service was impeccable and our waiter and bartender were extremely friendly the entire time (forgive me I forgot their names but they know who they were) Highly recommend this place for others. Super worth the price and the dishes were phenomenal. Drinks are on another level. Will be back for sure!
