Dante’s Kitchen is a quaint uptown cottage turned restaurant. There is a welcoming, cozy air both inside and out—-wooden floors, fireplaces, brightly-colored walls, and a lovely patio outside, surrounded by plants, flowers and a wooden fence.
Dante’s is open every day for dinner; but it’s extremely popular for brunch on Saturdays and Sundays (10:30am-2:00pm). I’ve had brunch at Dante’s a few times and it’s exquisite. The first time, everything on the brunch menu looked so good it literally took me a half hour to decide what to order. I finally decided on the “Debris and Poached Eggs on a caramelized onion biscuit, topped with a demi-glace hollandaise” and had no regrets. Since then, everything I’ve ordered or tasted has been awesome, as well—-from the Bread Pudding French Toast to the Seafood Cakes.
For the most part, the entrees are bold, rich and fairly heavy; but if you’re in the mood for something lighter (and healthier), the menu offers a variety of salads and sandwiches, too. The BLT is without question the best BLT I’ve ever tasted.
The entire menu is reasonably priced, with most dishes under $13. Reservations advised.
