The Scene – Part historic renovation and part secret garden, Dante's Kitchen serves up consistently inventive fare in unassuming Riverbend style. Four smaller dining rooms easily accommodate romantic two-tops and larger group celebrations in a single sitting. – – The Food – Chef Emanuel Loubier (a recent Commander's Palace alumni) aggressively promotes locally-grown ingredients in a menu that changes with the seasons. His preparations tend toward the lighter flavors and textures, especially during the hotter months when fish dominate the menu. The cucumber and crab…

Won't go back
by EmmaNOLA
I don't understand why people rave about this place. I've been a few times and was not impressed but decided to give it another chance b/c of the convenient location. We had a party of five for brunch. Two of our orders were completely wrong so all of our food came out at different times. The portions were small. The BLTE (bacon lettuce tomato and egg) sandwich had TWO pieces of bacon and TWO slices of tomato. Incredibly ordinary food that was over-priced. When given a bill with a 25% gratuity added, we paid the bill only to be stopped at the door and told that we were given the wrong bill and that more money and a gratuity were required. We paid the correct bill plus 20% tip with a promise never to return. We were embarrassed by the manager's behavior and the way this was handled in front of our guests. Don't waste your time (and money.)
- Pros: location
- Cons: food and staff

New Orleans fare at its finest
by katelorenz
Dante's is one of New Orleans's absolute best restaurants. The shrimp and grits is to die for and you really can't go wrong with of the entrees. My favorite is the gulf fish amandine. I've eaten here at least 10 times and have never had a bad meal. And the staff is friendly and accomodating. If you live in New Orleans, you must try. If you are visiting, stop at Dante's after a streetcar ride to the Riverbend.
- Pros: Location, waiting, service
- Cons: NONE

One of the best meals I've ever had!
by nycgrlnewtola
I went back to New Orleans to visit my boyfriend and we were looking to go out one night and have a really nice dinner. A friend recommended Dante's Kitchen; for some reason I had never eaten there despite having lived in NOLA for years. Oh my god, it was amazing. From the soup to the molasses spoon bread to the scallops to the pecandine fish (not amandine because there were no almonds, but the subbed pecans tasted divine.) I especially want to point out how fabulous the service was, though. I make my living as a waitress so I am very attuned to the details of service when I go out to eat, and I have to say, the young chap was one of the best servers I've ever had the pleasure to be waited on by! The host was also very kind and personable and professional, as were all the other servers and runners who stopped by our table. Our waiter's name was Chris - go visit him and eat this delicious food and you will NOT be disappointed!!!
- Pros: SERVICE!! food, very romantic

Where to Sit:
The glass-lined porch provides a nice daytime garden atmosphere, but opt for the cozier "inside rooms" at dinner.
