D’Antan

Overall rating: 4.9 I’m absolutely obsessed with this spot. Its atmosphere is so intimate, fairytale-like & hidden. I was a bit surprised but there isn’t a lot of options on the menu. I went on a date & we ended up splitting the truffle pasta which I don’t think is on the menu anymore. It was really good, but tbh I’d probably go again just for the atmosphere. There were plants everywhere and it was definitely a 2nd / 3rd date spot vs new date. I highly recommend if you’re looking for something different & romantic.

This was my first time at D’Antan. I’d been wanting to go for a while and I was really expecting a lot more. The atmosphere is 5/5 as there are wine bottles displayed throughout, cute Polaroids on the walls, romantic lighting, fresh flowers and candles on the tables and the iron chandelier hanging in the middle of the room is just wow absolutely stunning. The disappointment, however, began with the service. While the server was extremely sweet and seemed well-intentioned, I had to ask for a food menu after being seated and waiting a while (there was only one other couple in the restaurant), I ordered a bottle of sparkling water and he brought it and lemon slices (a nice touch) but not the glasses for us to drink the sparkling water out of which I also had to point out after waiting a while. I also asked for a napkin because it wasn’t obvious that there was one in the utensil envelope and when he told me it was there, I pulled out what would be comparable to a thin brown napkin you get at your local corner deli with your coffee. When my friend asked for another napkin, he brought her a thicker and larger blue and white one which seemed more apt for dining and I asked if he could bring me one too. It’s just odd to be campaigning so much for a proper dining napkin? Now, on to the food. First off, these menu prices are really high which gave me the false impression of quality and taste. The artichoke appetizer ($16) we ordered was served cold when it was supposed to be a hot dish (??) - we ate it a bit confused, it was very mediocre tasting, and when the server asked how the dish was, I said it was just ok and said it was cold and the server comp’d it when he clarified it was supposed to be hot. He went and had a word with the kitchen about it. A hot mediocre artichoke dish in red sauce would’ve been ok? But a cold one? Nah. For mains, my friend ordered the tagliatelle and I ordered the cod. For a whopping $36, I expected way more out of the cod but it was bland layered with more bland. I’m sure the only seasoning used was salt and most of it on the fish. The fish *was* cooked really well, but between that and the supposed “saffron” potato purée, there was no flavor. The carrots were just whole-roasted plain ol’ carrots. I think pasta is the only way to go when ordering from here; my friend’s tagliatelle was pretty tasty and perfect for a cold night. She had to ask for parmesan and black pepper because it wasn’t offered to her when she got the pasta. I thought that was a pretty standard thing to offer but perhaps now I’m just being nit picky. We finished our mains and the server asked if we wanted to look at the dessert menu and we said yes and then we saw that the tiramisu costs $21 and we just had to laugh about it and then get out of there as soon as possible. My conclusion is for these insane prices, they really need to improve their flavoring on the non-pasta dishes, make sure the dishes are actually hot when they’re supposed to be and the service needs to be more…service-y. I probably won’t be coming back here any time soon unfortunately.

Lovely neighborhood date spot. Great vibes, friendly staff, strong wine list and pasta that fulfill your comfort food needs. The decor takes no music makes you feel like you are in quaint Italian village. Order the stracciatella & anchovies. I could eat them all night.

The perfect date night spot, looks like an apartment with high ceilings converted into a restaurant. Love the open kitchen, the warm lighting and glass windows makes it really picturesque especially at night. The burrata with truffle is not to be missed! We also enjoyed the lobster/squid ink tagliatelle and boar ragu. Custom wine pairings offered, on the more expensive side $14+ per glass. Located in the quiet, residential Bergen St off Classon - so easy to miss! Outdoor tables available as well

Great atmosphere and wine selection, although rather than have a menu like they've had previously, the wait staff helps you select a wine based on your preferences.

Great food and very friendly staff. I loved the atmosphere indoors and outdoors, very warm and welcoming. Lots of great wines on the list. Bread was great and so was their olive oil. Price is pretty high for the small portions they serve, but you’ll likely find it justified by quality of the food.

Warm and calm atmosphere. Meat and cheese plate options. Tons of wine and I enjoyed both recommendations I was given. Food was delicious. Service is spot on and paced out for a relaxing dinner, take your time and get another bottle.

One of my favorite places in the city. Their pillowy gnocchi is incredible, and their wine list is superb. One of the servers remembered me and my brother six months later - including exactly what we ordered. And he wasn't even our server the past time. Great vibes, great spot.
