   Cocktails and food were excellent. It was a Monday night, so not much of a crowd. We were traveling, and the location was convenient to where we were staying. This was the best food we had in our weeklong visit to Arizona.

   Dreadful service they forgot birthday celebration, delayed service to get served and drinks and I reminded them it was a birthday celebration three times. They still forgot to bring the cake! Place needed a good clean. Waitress had very dirty clothing. Bill brought before mains were finished. We waited for birthday cake it never appeared, we got up and walked out.they never checked Open Table reservation if they had they would have remembered the special celebration!

   Dante's accommodated our lively party of 9 to celebrate a birthday. We enjoyed our jalepeno poppers, shrimp and rice, sliders, and unique cocktails.

   This place cooks five-star food and serves it in a 3-star venue. The two of us were the only diners at 5 p.m. on a Sunday, and the music was so loud we could barely have a conversation. The restrooms look like they haven't had a remodel since 1970. On the other hand, the food was very hot, creatively plated, and delicious. I would recommend the restaurant if someone was already in the area and I would carefully set expectations.

   Cocktails were amazing. Friendly servers. Appetizers were delicious and unique. Entrees were good but one was lacking in flavor- tuna tartare was fishy ? not fresh.

   Love Dante’s. The food is terrific. It’s ambience is a little old school funky, which has its own kind of charm. I’d definitely recommend it.

    Menu a little limited but interesting. Food was surprisingly good, and bar selections very much so! We arrived on the early side, so not many people, but by the time we were finished, the place was getting busier. We’ll certainly go back.

    We keep trying this place. We've had excellent experiences in the past. But... the last 2 times have been a bummer. We went a few months back, they sat us, and no server came to us.... we waited A LONG TIME. Finally just got up and left because we had to be somewhere. This time, our server seriously looked like she was high. She said I didn't have a reservation at first, until I showed her our confirmation. Then she sat us at a table she was covering... took our drink order... stopped back a few times to take our order (we weren't ready)... and thennnnn.... GONE! She never came back. I finally went to the bar and asked for a server/encountered her to say we are ready to order - she didn't recognize me and said she wasn't our server. She was definitely on drugs (I believe) based on visual assessment. She finally came to our table to take our food order (announced she was indeed our server - duh, yeah!). After ordering, she came back to tell my daughter and husband their meal was no longer available tonight. They picked other selections. Thennnn - she put their meals in at the kitchen, but never put mine in. My husband and daughter got their meals - mine was nowhere in sight. She then placed mine, it came up, but another server grabbed the dish for one of her tables she told me. Ughhh. Bottom line - their food has always been exceptional. But there is definitely 1 or 2 servers there who are very bad and ruining it. I saw some REALLY fantastic servers handling other tables. Unfortunately, they were not OUR server :(. Bad luck! So far, since after COVID and returning, they are on 2 strikes for us. 3 Strikes and they are out for us. But I will miss their awesome dishes if that happens.

    Very strange dining experience. Ordered from the Valentines menu and the food was extremely hit or miss. Across two three course meals, one combination would have been great and the other wouldn't have been worth a third of what was charged. Fortunately (or unfortunately) that quality was split between myself and my date, so we both ended up with a mediocre shared experience. Highlights included the oyster appetizer and chicken entree, which mixed multiple uncommon ingredients into a great flavor. Low points included bland shrimp, soggy fried fish in an OK lobster soup, and a curdled creme brulee. Service was similarly confusing, sparse and minimal. Our waitress was friendly, but everything else about the experience felt abysmal, especially at a fine dining price. All of the servers seemed rushed and/or new, and gave off the impression that the restaurant was much busier than it was. Passing servers would check on us mid-stride without waiting for an answer. Instead of sampling the wine we ordered first, we were immediately poured generous glasses. If there was a manager, they never appeared to check on our experience even after having to return a course, which we were still initially charged for. There were many other small annoyances which added up on top of this. I hadn't been to the restaurant in years, and I had remembered it being good though pricy. Perfect for a Valentines dinner. This experience felt like the restaurant was ambitious but amateur, pretending at being fine dining (and charging accordingly) without knowing what it means to provide that experience.

    We love the food here! This was our 4th visit. The day before Valentine's, it was early Sunday to stay out of the hubbub. Unfortunately, the service was not good. It felt like it was her first night, and she'd had no training - at all, anywhere. Our server did not remove plates between courses, and after the meal, we had to ask that they be removed while waiting for dessert. I had a cocktail with the appetizers and asked for a glass of Cabernet to go with my steak. The server did not deliver the wine, and I had no opportunity to ask about it since she didn't check in after the entree was served. I asked for coffee with dessert, and she didn't know how to make the coffee. While waiting for the dessert, she delivered my wine, and I reminded her that I wanted it with my steak and rejected it. She was friendly and nice but clueless - not intelligent, just not trained. This is on management, not her. Again, the food was fantastic - every course - but service can put a pall on the experience.

    Please keep in mind , glitches in kitchen and table service may be Covid related… Restaurant was not even half full but one noisy table really made it hard to have a conversation…we chose a table as far as possible from the noisy group. I can’t imagine how loud it would be on a busy night. Don’t order the free bread plate! Just not good. The menu was very entertaining to read with the Dante theme. It took a long time for our order to come out of the kitchen…but Our pastrami Ruben was excellent and the yummy (very garlic) fries were delicious. Our server was very sweet but not as organized as she could be so table service was very slow. If you like noisy bars with decent bar food you will like this place.

    Ive been here twice. I was excited to bring friends. Big mistake cause everyone was mad at me after! Waitress told us she didn't have our reservation (hmm check the open table app perhaps?). Anyway, seated without silverware and napkins, we had to ask the bartender who took her time turning around to see what we needed. Her two customers hadn't ordered for at least 20 mins. My boyfriend got up from the table to ask her as the two servers were out of sight for 10-15 minutes. She said ok, started doing something else, then filled her water, saw my boyfriend again and said "oh yeah 3 napkins". Not sure if she had to wash them herself but took quite awhile. I asked for a well done burger and it wasn't. I asked for a ranch 4 times before I decided to just give up since both servers I asked decided I didn't need it. We asked for refills twice and were left unattended the 35 minute wait for our room temperature food. Mind you, two servers and a bar tender. 6 tables decreasing and leaving every 15-20 minutes. This didn't help the service get any better. You would think having less customers might help you be more attentive? The table next to me had a waitress give them an entire different order and the table member decided it wasn't worth re-ordering their item and decided to not eat. I ended up sharing my food with the table because between the three of us, we had one complete meal. (If someone's fries were good, the burger was bad. Etc). Waitresses clueless and could not care less. The fastest service was "ready for the check?" My friends joked about me being the most patient while we were seated and giving some grace each interaction. But by the time to leave, I had little left in me. It irks me still thinking I paid for our food and tipped cause it was one of the worst dinners I've had.

    Terrible service. Our server was more interested in folding napkins and preparing to close than waiting on us, even though closing was an hour away. We waited on our drinks for more than 30 min, even then not all got delivered, and finally one of us had to go ask for his beer (the easiest drink to make!). It was one friend’s birthday and we also had out of town guests. I was embarrassed for making the reservations. First time, and last time to go.

    We went to Dantes Fire before the Broadway show Sat night. Three of us got the Filet (med rare) with cauliflower and potatoes. The filet was cooked to perfection! The cauliflower was very good as well. The diced potatoes were ok, nothing great, but the rest of the meal was very good. Service was great as well! And a bonus is they are part of the Tucson Restaurant gift cards you can get at Costco!

    Sorry to report, the quality at Dante's Fire has slipped. The food that night was lack luster and mostly cold or at room temp. Half the clams in the Clam Chowder did not open and therefore uneatable - we were informed that's how they come!?

    Dante’s Fire: brief review: the food was exceptional. The service was s-l-o-w, and despite their website’s summary of all the things they’re doing to protect staff & customers alike against Covid 19 - absolutely nobody inside was wearing a mask, despite Pima County’s current mask mandate. It’s dive-y in a totally non ironic, uncool, dingy way. Pubes on the toilet seat. So, go for the food. Dine on the dirty patio. Maybe order takeaway. But do not go inside!

    The food here is outstanding but it really is sort of a neighborhood bar. Ambience not great. They were understaffed, but who isn't. Two very hard working waitresses trying to hold it together. The food is pricey, again that is happening everywhere so if you are in the mood for a romantic evening not the place.

    This is a very small one room restaurant. I had been here once before and just thought it was ok, but decided to give it another shot. The food was incredibly overpriced, on par with some 5 star restaurants in the area, but the quality was not deserving of the price. Chicken was just ok, risotto over cooked, burger undercooked, steak drowned in a gravy type sauce that was not good. Our salad appetizer was $15. Overall, we paid almost $200 for 3 people (one drink each, one app, 3 entrees, one dessert) and could have gone to a steakhouse that was much better. Our server would drop our items and immediately run off every time she came over, so we didn’t have a chance to ask for things. She disappeared after we ordered dessert for 20 minutes. She had the bartender bring dessert because she said she was afraid to light it on fire. It was ice cream flambé and it melted before it could be eaten, given that we were only provided forks to eat it with. The place overall wasn’t terrible, but definitely not worth returning to.

    Walking in you wouldn’t expect the type of food you see on the menu, this was a pleasant surprise! From the freshly made bread in the beginning to the desert at the end, it was amazing! Who ever the chef is my hat is off to you. To find a place like this in Tucson was a delightful experience and will be back again.

    We made reservations during family weekend. We arrived per our reservation time and were seated after about 10 min. Very busy which we understood. The hostess who ended up being our waitress started with an attitude and it didn't get much better. We waited and waited for everything. We finally ordered after about 20 min. The food came out VERY slowly and one item at a time. We ordered two grilled cheeses which came out 15 min apart. They were very good. Fries were cold. My husband got a burger that was a good burger. I ordered a Caesar salad with the dressing on the side. What I got was embarrassing!!!!!!! It was 14 dollars with the chicken which was extra. What came out was a joke. There was a pile and not a big one maybe a half of a cup of old romaine lettuce. The backs and edges were red brown and it was wilted. there was a half of a hard boiled egg on top. I asked is this the Caesar salad and she said yes. I asked where the chicken was and she took it back and brought it out after about 8 more minutes with about 2 oz of chicken breast that was tasteless thrown on top of the pile of lettuce. I then dove into the salad looking for the olives, garlic, capers etc. Nothing but a pile of lettuce, and half of a hard boiled egg. Finally the waitress came back after about 15 more minutes and I asked wasn't there supposed to be capers, olives, etc on the salad. She said its on the bottom. I showed her there was nothing there on the bottom of the plate and she walked away. Not an apology or anything. Never came back till she brought our check. She didn't apologize when she dropped the check nothing. Not a word from her or anyone else. I could get a better salad at McDonalds. What a shame. Buyer beware what a horrible experience unless you want a grilled cheese that takes 45 minutes to get.

    We're glad to note that Happy Hour offerings are back at Dante's - but sad to report that they (like others) are being affected by issues with the supply chain. Our friends both ordered the Taco special and liked it a lot. We ordered the New England Clam Chowder and the Salmon Special plus a small Caesar Salad to share. I found the chowder too salty and the Salmon just fine - not so for my partner - it was just the opposite for him. We both agreed the Caesar was uninspired and lacking in flavor.

    Wonderful people work there. The Chef/owner is very talented and very personable. Dante's Fire is a fabulous neighborhood bar and restaurant! The food is excellent and the chef is creative. Don't let the outside of the restaurant prevent you from going in! Dante's fire is a hidden gem!
