"I had a great time at Dante’s, the food was good, lovely ambiance and great service. The staff were really pleasant and I’d love to go there again. Unfortunately I can’t remember what my meal was called but it was one of the chef’s specials that day. It was octopus and prawns in cherry tomato sauce with squid ink pasta. This was my first time trying it and I was pleasantly surprised. I’d give it a 7/10. I like spicy food and this wasn’t spicy for me hence the rating. Their fried calamari was excellent, i just wish the portion was more than what we got. It was very fresh and crispy. Something to note when you get there, the door is not in the middle and doesn’t slide open depending on where you come from it’ll be on the far right( just for anyone like me that expects all doors to automatically open for them)"

ADULTS ONLY restaurant. The owner was not happy to let us in with our 3 year old, because, according to him, kids run everywhere and cause annoyance. We left the place, speechless. We ate somewhere else. Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

I can't say how the food, service and ambience was as we were told openly that they were not happy to have children in the restaurant as long as they sat still like mummies (they don't even have car seats). Anyway, congratulations for hospitality, you know how to lose customers.

Dined in for dinner and found the price per person to be around £80–90. The food, service, and atmosphere all received top marks of 5. Highly recommend trying the Menu and the Pear and Almond Tart. Finding parking may be a bit challenging, but street parking is available for free.
